My first post for 2011! Haha, sorry it took so long. I was waiting for some of my purchases to arrive so I can actually post something with content here. And here is my first purchase to arrive for this year from Bare Naturals, which is my favorite natural mineral make-up and skincare store. BN is actually my first ever make-up ever, and after 3 years I'm still loyal to them <3 Since I'm still well stocked in the mmu department, my purchase this time is mostly on their skincare.

My order :) *so sorry for grainy pics, it's from my camera phone m(-.-)m

I convinced my mom to go to Etude House at SM Pampanga :D
It was also my first time to go there and it was huge...well compared to my usual Etude House at SM Megamall where it is so cramped. And guess what, I actually turned my mom to an EH convert! We had a mega-haul inside the store and our purchases totaled to around 3k ._. that's a lot considering how affordable EH's products are.
We left the store with 2 bags of EH goodies.
But guess what, I only had 2 items from that mega-haul XD and the rest are my mom's haha.
Here's what we bought: (no pics sorry, camera still broken -.-)
1. Peach Water Gloss in Watermelon water (mine)
2. Dr. Oil No Shine Mist (mine)
(the rest are my mom's)
3. Moistfull Collagen Toner
4. Moistfull Collagen Essence
5. Moistfull Peeling Wash
6. Lip & Eye Remover
7. LuciDarling Fantastic Rouge (forgot the shade, it's the lipgloss version)
8. Petite Darling (???) Eyeshadow (totally not sure about this, but it's the one worth P148, the color is a nice matte mocha brown)
9. After Slim Cream (haha!)
10. 2 House Shaped Sponges
11. 2 Bath puffs

Whew! And when we came home my mom was raving about EH all night. She was actually comparing it to her own HG brand, Shu Uemura. She kept on saying how their products are quite comparable to Shu but worth a fraction of their price. Her LuciDarling gloss, she says too, are like her MAC lipglass. I do agree with her because the glosses are very pigmented but EH only carry around 10 shades from that range while MAC has a hundred (figuratively I mean XD)

Reviews to follow for the Peach Water Gloss and the No Shine Mist! The visit from EH really got me lemming into other products too. Tsk tsk. I need to update my Chirstmas wishlist now.

till next time,
