Phil-Cosmetics Expo Loot, Bloggers Meetup, and OOTD

So last Saturday, I went to the 4th Phil-Cosmetics Expo at SM Megamall to take a look at all the awesome goodies and perhaps snag a few essentials. Since I was on a "tight" budget, I only bought very few items. So here's my Expo Haul!

I bought it at its "factory price" and all this soap was only around Php 55!

BK Purple Cracking Polish bought at Kairyu for only Php  90/

And here is what I wore during that day!

Loving my red trench coat. I have another one as well but the material is denim. I'm really "feeling" the weather and I love wearing my trench coats! Maybe next time I will post my various coats. In the meantime my dear coffeeholics, please do take care of yourself and your general well being.

So this is what I did during the weekend. How was yours dear coffeeholics? Did you buy anything? Do share!

Mwah,

Beauty and Makeup Haul - dreamGirl, Human Nature, Marionaud, Elianto, Orly

Ok so I've been always wanting to do this ever since I met the lovely beauty and makeup bloggers Kat, Aya, and Say and read their articles. Now I don't have any plan of being an expert beauty blogger but I do want to show some of the beauty related stuff that I bought recently.

On the top of my list of things that I really needed to buy was a lipstick. I have a Laura Mercier lipstick - Healthy Lips which is my current fave but its a matte one. So I decided to get this really cool lipstick from Watson's dreamGirl - a byproduct of 4U2. Its a symphony sparkling lipstick no. 2 giving me the perfect peachy hue that I want -- WITH SPARKLES! :) yay for glitter!

Next thing that I got (finally!) is Love Minerals by Human Nature. I got the Blush Shade 02 Tropical Rose which suits my skin tone. The best feature I love about it is that its 100% chemical free! Love it! I also bought a brand new brush from Marionnaud - the N32 Slanted blusher brush. Its made of synthetic fibers - smooth to sweep the blusher on the skin with a firm touch!  I saw it from one of my friends and decided to finally buy it after comparing with other brushes in Watsons (hehehe.. yes that's the store where I check out most of the local/asian makeup)! Though its a bit more expensive than the other brushes that I saw, the Marionnaud brush gave the greatest coverage and the slanted cut makes it easier for me to use!

And lastly, thanks to Aya and Jen, I was able to buy some Elianto polishes at a really great price! I just also recently had my nails done and this is a result of a combination of two coatings of Elianto Blue Splash 29 with a top coat of Orly Limelite. Here's my NOTD!
