Aaahh, it's that time of the year again where I receive presents from friends and family. Just wanted to share with you my last purchases for the year 2013 and a few of the gifts that I received for the month of December.

It's time for another haul! I  haven't been buying much of anything lately because I really wanted to use up products that I already have in my stash, but it is the holiday season so I decided to treat myself a bit.

I haven't subscribed to BDJ Box for a while now. The last time I subscribed to them was November of last year. I decided to get this month's box on a whim and I'm so glad I did.

This isn't really much of a makeup haul since most the stuff I bought this month are not makeup related. So, it could probably pass for a fashion haul. hehe



It is finally time for me to go back to work, after 78 days of maternity leave. I am a bit excited to see my colleagues from work again, so I have been buying random things this month that I would wear to the office. I did buy a couple of new tops, they were just plain compfy shirts that I bought at SM City Cebu so I didn't bother taking pictures.


After saving for several months, I finally bought the LORAC Pro Palette! yehey! I got this at Stuff in Style for only Php 2,200 Plus 90 pesos Shipping Fee to Cebu. It is definitely a great deal, since other online shops sells it for 2,400- 2,800.

I also have been wanting to buy the Sigma E25 Blending Brush ever since I got my hands on the travel sized E25 two years ago. It is definitely a great dupe for the MAC 217 brush. So, when I saw the Sigma E25 Blending brush posted for sale on MyMaria's instagram, the rest was history. LOL By the way, she is the author of Basta Igat,Sikat! a fellow blogger from Ormoc.


I saw this 4-inch wedge at Prima Linea Boutique in Ayala Center Cebu. They are having a Renovation Sale for the whole month of September so I couldn't help but browse their items. Then I saw this, it was originally priced at Php 2,000+ but was on sale for only Php 500, the best part was they had a bigger sizes available. Definitely a steal!

I got this TCM Bowler's Bag from my father-in-law since his package from Germany finally arrived. I just love how refreshing the color is, so I have been using this all week.


This Peach Snake Tote Bag from Celine is my first ever purchase from Zalora. I am really pleased with this bag as it looks chic, stylish and sturdy. I bought it for Php 1,999.00. You can see the product details HERE. They offer free shipping to Cebu for orders above Php 2,500 so I also purchased a couple of flip flops for hubby and myself. And also bought the Cleerface Herbal Pimple Cream which you can see HERE.  Zalora says that my orders will arrive in 5 to 7 days but my orders arrived in only 3 days! They were all in great condition, so I am really happy with their service.

Until next time.

Cheerios!

I haven't bought any makeup related items recently but I just had to pick some hair products since I feel like my hair is all frizzed up. hehe

I finally got my hands on some Catrice Cosmetics! During the past few months, my father-in-law was on vacation in Germany, Paris and Rome. But he stayed mostly in Bremen Germany for more than two months since his eldest son lives there.

Catrice Cosmetics is a drugstore makeup brand popular in Germany. I've read really good reviews about their makeup line so I didn't think twice about asking my in-law to buy me a few makeup goodies from their brand, and he really did Yay! Thank you!

It's time for another round of Skin Care Haul. I recently posted a lot of product empties HERE and I'm really happy that my skin care stash is getting smaller. I didn't want to throw away products without using them all up. Thus, I stopped my impulsive purchases, especially every time I step inside Watsons. ^_^

I have been a freelance hair and makeup artist for the past 2 years and I just felt like updating some of my current tools, especially the hair tools. So, here's just a few things that I bought recently.


Until next time.

Cheerios!

It's been a while since I've had a haul. I am currently trying to finish more products which I already have in my stash so that they won't go to waste.  I also did post my recent empties HERE, so having this haul makes me feel totally guilt free.
