Beauty Finds January-February 2013

Beauty Finds

January and February 2013

Having to start this blog later this year, I have discovered, rediscovered products. Here are pictures for a quick glimpse of products I have found. Personal reviews on a separate entry

Benefit Cosmetics

This year, I suddenly became a fond obsessed with Benefit Cosmetics. A company based in San Francisco, California, USA. It first started with the Benetint years ago, then I got the Erase Paste ( which I  super loooove!) then I got hooked and began purchasing more. It may cost slightly more in the Philippines than in the US but its definitely worth it. If only I still lived in New Jersey, I would have gotten every product.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm

I was at first doubting this line because I LOVE the Lip butters already (but most colors). But after a friend made me try it, I LOVE it! this is my first shade. will try to get my hands on all the shades to give them a try. Retail price back in the US is $7-$8.99 while in the Philippines is sold at 575php or $14. Which makes me have to be  VERY patient until a relative, friend or my family goes to the US to purchase them there instead and bring them back to me here in the Philippines!

Parian Spirit

The brush cleaner the make up world has been raving about. Finally got a 16oz bottle in Manila! Thanks to Suesh, Alabang for having it on stock!

 

                            

 Flormar

Randomly spotted this European Brand Flormar. Which is said to be made in Turkey. It was a very spontaneous find to find something locally to temporarily replace my NYC Sunny Bronzer since I hit pan on it already and NYC cosmetics are pretty hard to find in Manila. Unlike back in Jersey I got them at CVS or Riteaid which is only like a 5 minutes walk from the Townhouse I used to live at. 

Etude House

Korean brand Etude House, I was looking for this multi color highlighter palette in Etude house when they said it was currently out of stock since it was an old product of theirs. The lady instead recommended me their newer version and have been running out of quick --- the Face Designing Brightener.  So I gave it a try. 

I have more, but let's do these first. A little a time. 

Laters!

2013, bring it!

The year 2012 was the CRAZIEST for me. Crazy in terms of traveling. I was blessed enough to be able to travel around the United States (2011-2012), Singapore (September), Thailand (October), Cebu (November), Bohol (November), Hong Kong (November), Bacolod and Ilo-ilo- (In and out from September-December). So, I'm hoping for the best for this 2013. Hopefully I'd get to travel around. After all, traveling is the only thing you pay for that gets you richer! Enjoy life. be brave, invest and travel!

Travel, Food and all things Beautiful!

Introduction

I've always wanted to express myself in way I don't even know how to start. Talk about having some attention and confidence problems. I guess this time I'm just going to post away like someone is out there following and/or reading this.

Basically, this would be a blog/site mainly about things I love to do. I am a Culinary major graduate who loves her family and friends (So given!). I am very interested in anything culinary related. Cooking, experimenting, checking out new places, dining at interesting restaurants. I also love traveling anything travel related in and out of the country I was born and grew up in, the Philippines. But wait, there's more! I also like anything girly. Artsy Fartsy or kaartehan as people may call it but its awesome. Anything collectable or beauty related. So... just watch and be patient. This is what this whole thing is going to be about. I hope you enjoy as much as I enjoy discovering things I'll be posting and maybe next time I'd be able to hear your side of the story!
