Today's Mini Haul

i haven't posted anything in a while, work's been pretty crazy, so i haven't had time to blog, nor take pictures of FOTDs or OOTDs. well i don't have work today, so i went to makati to do a bit of shopping. just thought i'd share what i got :D

i went to Rustan's and bought a full sized bottle of Stila's Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer in Light 03. i have a sample size, and i am loving it :) i bought the Oil Free variant, and it has a higher SPF too (this one has SPF 30, while the normal variant has SPF 15).

then i passed by The Face Shop and ended up buying these Cereal Mask Sheets, in Rice, Mung Bean, Walnut & Pine Nut, and Black Bean.

they have this promo wherein u purchase 5, and get a free Pore Minimizer Sample Set, which consists of Toner, Emulsion, and Essence.

i'm not gonna lie to u, i bought 'em to get the freebie, hahaha! i've been meaning to try their Pore Minimizer line, so here's my chance :D plus hey, i'm always on the lookout for great masks anyway (i know, i know, i'm making excuses haha)

i then headed over to Bayo because i wanted to buy a light jacket, which i did :) i love the color! purple has been speaking out to me lately.

then finally i headed over to Watsons to buy a compact and makeup remover. i bought Maybelline's Clear Smooth Face Powder in Natural. i've been meaning to buy a new compact for quite a while now, and i decided i didn't want to spend a lot on it, so i just got this. i just hope it'll work well on me. as for the remover, i got Loreal's Gentle Lip and Eye Makeup Remover because i heard it's really good. i've been using their Elixir Concentrate Ultra Makeup Remover, and honestly, i just don't recommend it. it feels so greasy, and it often leaves me with temporary blindness. it's a wonder i even finished the bottle.

i was already getting a bit tired, so i decided to hit Starbucks. but before i got my White Chocolate Mocha fix, i bought a magazine to pass the time. i got Preview's January-February edition. can u believe that's Jinkee Pacquaio on the cover? i thought it was Gretchen Barretto at first! my my, the power of makeup, indeed!
