Majolica Majorca: Blood On Review

Hello! How have you been guys today? Right now, I'm feeling under the weather but with deadlines to keep, I can't just lay down and rest.  Besides, I'm on my vacation leave for 2 days next week. Woo!

Despite of me being under the weather, I had to put something on my face to make me look less sickly and tired, and more healthy. The item I shall be reviewing today is something I went crazy purchasing over. Imagine, I bought 4 of these items (while most, I have given away).

Majolica Majorca released a limited edition line last year. Apart from their usual mascara (Lash King) releases and a perfume, one of them was the Blood On lip and cheek tint. I heard a lot of good reviews, and I noticed how fast (considering the price) this went off the shelves of Majolica Majorca. So I got myself convinced to grab hold of one (plus three).

Charming packaging, isn't it?

The Face Shop: Lovely ME:EX Milky Tint in 01 Baby Pink Review

There was a phase in my make-up life that I simply loved milky tints. I loved them so much that I bought colors from various brands such as Peripera, Etude House and The Face Shop. It didn't matter if I had duplicate colors across the brands (example: peach from Peripera, The Face Shop and Etude House). I absolutely love them.

Since I've reviewed on my Peripera Milky Tint, let's move to The Face Shop.Do note that this is one of the 2 colors I bought from them. Meet The Face Shop's Lovely ME:EX Milky Tint in 01 Baby Pink.

Haru's Product Haul February - March 5, 2013 (Missha, Nature Republic, Etude House and Skinfood)

I know I haven't been posting lately - work, personal life, and health issues. Been sick for the past few days, and such a horrible timing too!

Since I'm sick, I don't normally try new items. Most of my skin care is currently at HG items (except for facial wash, hehe!). Likewise to some make-up.

However, what I was busy to for the past few days was hauling items. Yes, hauling. And almost every week, I would get something off the store.

See what are my recent hauls!

Etude House: Follow Me Tint SPF 13 in #1 Vary Pink Review

Good sunny day to everyone! It's a good Saturday noon that there seems nothing for me to do. Which is so odd. I would like to go out and frolic somewhere - like eat in a good Japanese resto I'm eyeing at. Sadly, I'm stuck at home. So I decided to put in a review. Afterall, when was my last review?

In love, no matter how much you like the person but it seems that you aren't a good match. And what's left of you to do is to let go. And this is EXACTLY how I felt with Etude House's Follow Me Tint SPF 13 #1 Vary Pink.

Product Haul: November 26, 2012

Hello everyone! I was so happy that I was able to home early last Monday (compared to my previous days) that I went straight to the mall and bought some stuff.

See my modest haul?

Peripera: Peri's Tint Milk in #02 Milky Peach Review

I have this Milky Tint craze going on. I get my hands on milk tints whenever I can. I've been controlling myself from hauling Tony Moly's while  I haven't used the ones from The Face Shop and Etude House.

But when I saw Peripera's Peri's Tint Milk go on sale from a reseller, I just had to get it.

And it arrived in my house 2 days after.

They say this is one of the items that made Peripera famous even if it's a new company. I wonder if it's true.

Haru's Product Haul: November 18, 2012

Hi everyone! I know this is a very, very delayed post. But hey, better late than never. :D

Since I've been busy with work and been saving up some money for the trip, I haven't been buying as much like my last haul.

And yes, it's mostly related to my incoming beach trip. 

Revlon: ColorStay Lipcolor in 09 Fawn Review

Hi everyone! How was your weekend? Mine refreshed me a lot. And I'm happy to say that my online order from the new reseller came in last Friday. Had this HUGE smile on my face when I got the package. I'll show you probably in my next post on the 2 items I bought. <3

For today, let's rest a bit from Korean products and discuss something Western-related. For today's review, I picked Maybelline's ColorStay. Do note that this is an old product.

If I would have a set of favorite aunts, the one who gave me Revlon's ColorStay Lipcolor in 09 Fawn would be found at the top 3. She's such a cool aunt. She knows what color matches me. Even when she buys clothes and shoes for me as a present. This came in with the Elizabeth Arden's 2 Eyeshadow.  Imagine how old this is.

I still have it with me, but I don't use it anymore.

Tony Moly: Tony Tints in #1 Cherry Pink and #2 Red Apple Review

I came early today, and I'm not in the mood to do anything noteworthy today. Actually frustrated at work due to a series of events. I don't want to even discuss it. So, I'd be doing a review on my office drawer (and bag) staple tints. Well, as if I'm not carrying way too much lip colors already!

One of Tony Moly's famous tints are the Tony Tints. And of course, I took the plunge in buying both colors just because I want them. Or if I'm not mistaken, I bought this out of work-related stress. Retail therapy is a good stress reliever but bad for the pocket. Haha!

Haru's Make-up Haul: October 31, 2012

Fresh off my wallet! My haul from Tony Moly. Isn't this such a big bag?

A little background before the jump: I wasn't supposed to buy this, honest! Thanks to the SA of Tony Moly of Megamall branch for the FYI on the sale and the arrival of the famous pot concealer I've always been hounding for. I quickly asked them to reserve me one and I'd pick it up hours after (after work, that is). YES, I went home earlier than the norm lately. Ha!

Etude House: Aloha Two Two Kiss in #1 Hawaii Ray Pink and #3 Tropical Lime Red Review

Happy Monday everyone! I finally got both of my weekends for myself and not for work. Yipee! Bad part is I got sick. It started to be a sore throat last Friday night, and now it's grown to be a cough. Great. And should the extreme overtime continue, I might have to avail a sick leave by the end of the week. On the bright side, I finally get to use my mascara from Majolica Majorca and my blush and eyeshadow from Beauty Credit. You should see them soon, still need to further use them to produce good reviews. :)



Since I want to create a cheerful atmosphere despite my current state, I shall be posting about Etude House's Aloha Two Two Kiss. Now doesn't that sound so vacation-like?


No real motive why I bought them other than they look so darn good and unique. And it's rare to find a yellow and blue gloss. These two had been sticking around my make-up bag for the longest time.

Tony Moly: Berry Berry Lovely Slim Lipstick in Pink 01 Review

I know I've been out for the longest time. And I'm not entirely sure when I will resume my regular updates and reviews. We finally had our weekend (just Sunday, but hey, good enough).  So how have you been? What I did at my only day-off after going to work for 13 days straight (and coming home extremely late for 7 nights) was go to Bonifacio Highstreet in Taguig. I went to Muji with my little boy, mom and little brother. Mujji has skin care and make-up (and yes, I bought something)! I'll show you their pamphlets on a later date. We also ate sushi and drank milk tea at Red Kimono. But more of that in a different post.

I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I've passed by Tony Moly and picked up a few items. One of them is the Berry Berry Slim Lipstick in Pink 01.

I know, I don't need another lip item in my collection. But I just gotta have this color. I don't have pink yet. And the packaging is to drool for!

Plus, it was the last piece at the store, and I need to get P1,000 to get a prize. Talk about pressure!

Make-up Haul: October 6, 2012

Since I'm in a bit of a hurry, I cannot post a full review today. Especially those that are on the pipeline. They require loads of time and proof-reads. So for today, I will share with you my latest haul from Tony Moly.

And I have a perfect reason why I purchased this items. Promise, it's not me being a hoarder or anything. Not out of stress.

... I take back that last sentence. Because I had to go work on a Saturday AND Sunday, and should be in the office early on Monday. Sheesh. 

The Body Shop: Cranberry Shimmer Lip Balm Review

This is a very, very old The Body Shop product. This is one of my backlogs, 2 years ago.

Back in college, I needed an everyday lip balm. That smelled (and tasted) good. That can add a little color. That's just it. It doesn't have to be complicated, like the ones I have now. I was influenced by a friend of mine with her Strawberry flavored lip balm, that she's almost finished. She let me try out her lip balm and I liked it.

(Photo op came in late, so the label's in a pretty bad condition)

Tony Moly: Berry Berry Magic Lip Tint - 02 Green Apple Review

Due to popular demand, I am forced to write about this. I've been raving this to my friends offline, and because of this product, it would have made me an effective SA. But they've wondered why I never wrote about it. I have no intention of writing about this since I haven't used the other 2 colors yet - they are still sitting nicely in my drawer, unopened.

But now, I shall write about my favorite tint.

Nothing intrgues me as much as products that change color upon application. This little suckers always grab my attention (and my money).

This is an exception. It's so darn cheap!

Daiso/Saizen: Strap Minigloss - Rose

I just LOVE going to Saizen. Saizen (Daiso in Japan) is this huge mini-mart/convenience store that has all items cost at P85 (roughly $2.04). Think of it as a dollar store in the US. A lot of nifty stuff are sold in there that ranges from school supplies, toys and party favors, house decors and fixes, kitchen-related stuff (sometimes pans too!), food, accessories, and the like. It's very interesting to go there since you really don't know what to expect, and knowing Japanese, they are very creative and innovative.



But I won't be talking about the store today, but my cosmetic find there. Yes, they sell skin care and cosmetics too.

 Isn't it darn cute?

Avon: Slick Tint for Lips - Glossy Opal Review

When my mom went to the US for vacation, she bought a couple of Slick Tints from Avon. One was for me (Glossy Opal) and the other was for her (something red and sparkly).

ONE Naturales: Shea My Lips Lip Balm Review

While I was looking over blogs for a good and affordable lip balm, I came across One Naturales. There were raves about it. But what really sealed the deal was when they had their anniversary sale.



Without any hesitation, I bought their lip balm.

Maybelline: Baby Lips SPF20 Lip Balm - Relieving Menthol Review

Since I do want a replacement for my Lip Smooth Extra Care Lip Balm – Cool Mint, I decided to look into the same brand, and buy from there. I was actually in Watsons that time, and in quite a rush to get a new, colorless mint lip balm, so I picked this one.



I wonder, will this be as good as my previous lip balm?

Maybelline: Lip Smooth Extra Care Lip Balm - Cool Mint Review

Hi! How you've all been? It's had been a long, busy weekend for me. I finally went to my eye doctor to check out if there's something wrong with my eyes, and I'm happy to say none! Except my allergies, so I'd be laying off the eye make-up for a while. And I finally had my haircut, but quite unsure if it matches me. I tried out something new, and I ended up looking like like this minus the middle bangs. That's Rukia Kuchiki of Bleach.

One of my most used lip balm would be Maybelline's Lip Smooth Extra Care Lip Balm in Cool Mint. Funny thing about this is that this was an accidental find.
