May Purchases Part 2

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing good despite the pandemic that we're all experiencing. I haven't posted any reviews for a while apart from my purchases, which is what I'm going to be posting today as well. We've been quarantined for almost 2 months now, and even though the rules have been less strict since yesterday, it still is hard to go out and I still can't go back to working. I thought this would work out in my favor as I've been focusing more on skin care and haven't been using make ups at all as I'm just at home, but unfortunately I currently have a lot of acne on my cheeks, jawline and even my forehead! I'm not sure what exactly happened but I'm still trying to find a cure to thus dilemma. Anyways I've been using the products I purchased last time on a daily basis for 2 weeks now, and although I am not sure if it worked or if it made it worse, but I'll continue using it until next month and post a review by then to see how it goes.

Anyways, since the rules have been less strict and the mall has opened, I was finally able to go to Watsons for the first time in 2 months! I have been practicing social distancing and wore my masks and washed when I arrived at home so I hope it should be all good. I don't plan to go out again anyways unless its really urgent. I have been doing some reading online while on quarantine so when I got the chance to go to Watsons again, I knew what things to buy. Here are some of the things I have recently purchased.

Hada Labo Hydra & Whitening Face Wash - Php 295.00 (Watsons) | Dr. Sensitive Acne Clearing Pads - Php 49.00 (Watsons) | Nacific Fresh Herb Origin Serum - Php 605.00 (Shopee)

This is my first time to try Hada Labo's facial wash and I am so excited. Its a bit pricey compared to my usual facial wash (Cathy Doll) but it is understandable as this is a brand from Japan. I have other products from the brand which I got from Japan last year and they were really cheap, so I am really hoping this pandemic will end so that I can travel again. The acne clearing pads from Dr. Sensitive is something new to me, as I've been meaning to try clearing pads online but I am unsure if it is worth it. When I saw this product, I instantly purchased it just to try it out and see its worth it. I have started using it yesterday so I will probably post a review by next month.

Now this lip tint was in impulse purchase online when Club Clio had another sale on Lazada! I mean, who can resist 50% off right? Plus, I really love their velvet tints so I am so excited when I can finally use them again. Also, they are having another sale right now but I am not going to let myself be tempted again :3 Good thing the items I got from them will expire by 2022 so I still have plenty of time to use them, but for now I am keeping them safe in my fridge.

Peripera Ink Velvet Tint #04 - Php 225.00 (Lazada)

This product is very popular right now and some even called it Jun Ji Hyun serum as it is said to be her holy grail! So here I am joining the bandwagon too haha. Actually I've seen this product years back, when it still was called Natural Pacific, together with its old packaging. At that time it was still expensive for me so I couldn't really get my hands on it, but now that it was on sale, I finally purchased one. I've been using this in the evening for a few days already, together with my The Ordinary Glycolic Toner, so hopefully it will work for me. I'll be doing a review maybe next month to give time for the results to show, if there's any.

Nacific Fresh Herb Origin Serum - Php 605.00 (Shopee)

The seller from Shopee was kind enough to include a freebie - Innisfree Green Tea Seed Cream. I'm not sure what this is for but I haven't used it as well.

And that's it! I am really hoping for the best for my skin after this quarantine ends as I have been strictly following a routine with my The Ordinary products and have recently started using the Nacific Serum. I've been taking pictures of my breakouts for comparison and I will be uploading it on my blog probably next month.

April Haul - Make up!

Hi everyone! Its almost May 2020 already, can you believe it? Time flies by so fast, and with the quarantine going on, I didn't even realize we're almost halfway through the year! I've been staying at home for a month now, and I have missed out on a lot of things. Yeah, we're talking about food here - milk tea, samgyupsal and Korean barbecue T_T but that's fine. At least my online purchases are arriving!!

So 2 weeks ago, Club Clio Philippines had a 50% off sale at Lazada Philippines. I consider the brand as an expensive one, as opposed to its sister company Peripera (cos I'm broke all the time), but because of the sale I saw on Facebook, I decided to just check it out and see what's for sale.. and ended up with two things haha.

Clio Pro Tinted Veil Blusher 002 Watch Out - ₱650.00 (₱325.00 after sale)

Peripera Ink Airy Velvet 007 Heart Grapefruit - ₱450.00 (₱225.00 after sale)

To give you an idea of my purchases, here's a screenshot from my order. I only paid Php 547.00 for 2 items already! I was so excited, specially with the blush on as this is my first Club Clio item (I have loads of Peripera items already).

I placed the order on April 17 and it was delivered on the 27th of April. Considering the quarantine, I wasn't even expecting for my orders to push through. So now I'm going to show you the 2 items that I got from the sale.

I've always been a fan of the Peripera Inks, and this shade is something that has been in my wish list for a while so when I saw it on sale, I instantly added it to my cart. Its part of the Ink Airy Velvet series and its shade #07.

This blush was actually an impulse buy. I wasn't planning on getting any blush on as I still have my Apieu blush, plus an unopened 4U2 blush on. But the sale price was so enticing I ended up adding this to my cart as well. No regrets though as the blush is so pretty!

Here are more photos of the items, but I will be posting a separate review for each item as soon as I get the chance to test them out. Its a bummer that I can't go to work now due to Corona Virus, so I can't use them yet. But hopefully things will be better soon so we can all go back to what we were doing prior to the quarantine - with extra extra care and precaution of course!

Huge thank you to Lazada and Club Clio for this sale. I hope they'll have another one soon so I can buy the eye-shadow palette, and a couple other Peripera Tints that I have been eyeing for a while :)

DAY 1 - A Make Up Product You Use Daily (10 Day Blogpost Challenge)

DAY 1 - A Make Up Product You Use Daily 

(10 Day Blogpost Challenge)

Now this is something thats very easy for me. I can live even without an eyeliner, but not without my lip products. Im currently into lip tints right now so this is something that I use more than 10 times daily :D

I cant really choose a favorite, but I've slowly disposed some of my lip products already (maturity at its best, because you dont really need a lot, right? right). Now these are all I have left, an I use them alternately, depending on my mood.

From LEFT - RIGHT: Apieu Marker Pen Tint in RD03, Aritaum Tint in Water in 05 Bump Into You, Chateau Labiotte Wine Lip Tint in Shiraz Red, The Face Shop Watery Tint in 05 Cherry Red, The Face Shop Watery Tint in 02 Coralster, The Saem Saemmul Water Candy Tint in Red Mango, Peripera Peri's Ink Velvet in 06 Celeb Deep Rose

Aritaum Tint in Water in 05 Bump Into You

The Saem Saemmul Water Candy Tint in Red Mango

Peripera Peri's Ink Velvet in 06 Celeb Deep Rose

Apieu Marker Pen Tint in RD03

I used to have more than just these but adulting made me realize things and so I slowly got rid of those I dont really want or use. But sometimes whenever I see something new or cute I just find myself reaching out for it and buying it :3 Haha

I have added links to the items I have reviewed already so if you want to check out individual details, just click the link!

Peripera X Power Puff Girls Collab Haul

I'll have to be honest - asian beauty products have the cutest packaging ever! I am always on the look out for collaboration from Korean Brands as they never fail to make me go gaga over the kawaii things. Haha. Anyways, I've always been a fan or Peripera, mainly because Kim So Hyun is their endorser and I like her sooo much. And so when they release a Power Puff Girl collaboration, I knew my wallet's going to die.

This isnt a proper review, but I already got two items from the line. Its a cushion which I think is just the same as their normal cushion, except this one has Blossom's face on it. The other item that I got is a new variation of their Peri's Ink which is the Velvet Edition. I reckon this is a new shade as well as its not part of the original Velvet shades (I think?). Kawaii overload :3

Check out more photos below. I am still unable to sue them since I got them as I am not allowed to put any skin care or makeup at the moment as I just had another session of Fractional Needling Therapy, but reviews will follow soon. Enjoy!

This is the cushion in the shade of #2 Pink Beige. To be honest I dont know if this shade will suit my skin tone but I'll see.

Blossom!! :>

And this is the Peri's Ink Velvet in the shade of Celeb Rose. I had the Peri's Ink Moisture before and though the color comes off as too bold for my liking, it really stands up to its name of being moisturizing in the sense that my lips weren't dry at all. Now I'll see how this one fares.

Cutesy. Haha. Well, you just cant say no to such a cute face, can you? I still have other items up for posting so check out my next posts.
