Non-Beauty Related Purchases - Novelty Stuff

I've always featured cosmetic and beauty-related hauls ever since I started blogging. But this one's different. First thing is that I never actually did any holiday shopping - no trips to Rustan's the drove me crazy and left my wallet bleeding. I haven't been buying a lot of cosmetics lately. One or two purchases for the past couple of months and I'm already a happy girl. Anyway, I somehow went a little bit crazy buying novelty items and a couple of accessories and books. I'm sharing them on this post. Here they are..

Accessories from the Eastwood Bazaar and eBay.ph

Stickers, planners, memo pads, post its, a trinket with postcards and stickers

Books by John Sandford. I want to complete his Prey series. I'm hooked!

That's pretty much everything. Have a wonderful week ahead, everyone! :)

Have you purchased non-beauty related stuff lately?

Cheers,

Recent Cosmetics Purchases + Goodies

Hi again! Another very quick post. Thought I'd just share the stuff I purchased for the past couple of weeks. Though these aren't a lot, I think I'd go on a shopping ban. I may not have bought a lot of makeup but I have purchased mostly skin care, laptop accessories, books, shoes, a few novelty stuff, cosmetic bottles from Beabi, and a really neat necklace too. Didn't take pictures of everything but I'm sharing the makeup items I got and a few others too.

For makeup - Becca Mineral Powder Foundation, Bourjois Blush in 54 Rose Frisson, Benefit Posietint 4mL, Benefit Coralista mini 3g (I miss the Coralista I sold, must be seller's remorse), Maybelline Dream Mousse Concealer (which I love!), ELF Eyebrow Treat & Tame in Ash, ELF Mineral Eyeshadow Primer (since my friend got my UDPP and I couldn't say no), and Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cherry. Everything was purchased online except for Vaseline.

The "vintage" necklace I got from eBay for 120 bucks (a little less than $3)

And lotsa samples from my exchange gift with Sugarpaopao. Oh, thanks to her for also introducing me to...

Happy Lemon!!! Love the Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese, thanks for the reco. :) Sucks that I wasn't able to meet you on the iWhite event and Happy Lemon session with the other girls.

Oh, I also finally had the time to drop by the PO and claim the package/sample sent by Maggie from kkcenterhk. Hopefully, I can do a review soon. I don't have an eyelash glue yet. :P

So that's it for now. By the way, is it really the rainy season or summer had a month-long extension? It's freakin' hot!

Happy Thursday, everyone! :P

On Bags and Fendi

Before I became a makeup addict, I was once addicted to bags. I remember having more than 30 bags in my closet, most of which were never used. I was kind of brand conscious but not the type who would spend thousands and thousands of money just for one single bag. But I do remember buying a Fendi purse back then and I remember it being sturdy even though I was not too good to it.

I think my love for bags is slowly coming back because I find myself looking for bags online more often than I look for makeup. I came across a website that sells a variety of Fendi items, from shoes and bags, to wallets and belts, and even hats for both men and women. The prices aren’t sky high too and they are actually discounted so it is definitely good news to all fashion enthusiasts out there who are looking for authentic products for less.

Of course, the Fendi handbags were calling my name and I saw a style or two, or probably even more, that made me say, “I want that!” but there are also other bags from other brands that also caught my eye. With all the nice bags on that site, it may be confusing to decide which one to get, but then again, a girl can never have too many purses, right?

Happy Friday, super awesome peeps! :P

Chunky Bling: Swarovski Pearl Ring - White

They say pearls are classic and timeless pieces that will never go out of style, and something that you can wear on almost any occasion. That is why when someone from Chunky Bling told me that I can choose a ring for myself, I immediately chose this one as I knew it was going to be something I can wear any time of the day and wherever I go. When I finally got the package this afternoon, I was really amazed as to how lovely the ring is. Here are pictures.

I love how the light is reflected on the swarovski stones.

It may seem bulky at first but it's no different from cocktail rings. I really love how it looks and even though it is indeed chunky, it doesn't make my ring finger feel annoyed (yeah as if it has a mind of its own). I can imagine this will look nice with almost any piece of clothing especially with a crisp button down polo and jeans/slacks. Or a really feminine dress or a little black dress.

Please do check out their products at Chunky Bling where you can find other really nice accessories such as pearls and swarovski watches and other jewelries at a low cost. :) I wouldn't ask you guys to check out their products if the ring disappointed me anyway. And I wasn't asked to make this post, I just thought I should show you guys how pretty this ring is. :)

Happy Wednesday, super awesome peeps! :)
