I went to SM City last Monday to buy some stuff for my son. He needed a new pair of sleepers, pajamas and socks. After I bought what I came for, I passed by HBC (Home Beauty Center) and decided to take a quick peek on their items. I couldn't stop myself from buying since everything was so affordable.  I simply grabbed a few things that caught my eye. I was in a hurry since my husband was waiting (he hates to wait).

So here's what I bought, San-San Pressed Powder in 02 (Php 92.00), San-San Age Defense Concealer in 02 (Php126.00) and the San-San Eyeliner Pen in Black (Php 80.00).  I've already used their pressed powder before and I was using it for a long time before I switched to Myra, then Garnier.  I just missed using it because the shade is just perfect for my skin tone.  I only decided to stop using it because the scent was a bit strong and it bothered me.

Swatches and reviews for the eyeliner and concealer will follow. So stay tuned.

This is it for now.

I was all giddy and happy when I received these gifts from a friend who recently arrived from Florida USA. (Thanks Loien! luv ya!). I also received a couple of chocolates but I forgot to take the photos, I already ate it...lol. She also wanted to give me an elf Beauty Encyclopedia, too bad it was out of stock at Targets and Walgreens when she looked for it. huhu... But oh well, I'm very grateful that she gave me "Pasalubong".

She gave me Maybelline Falsies Mascara, Wet n' Wild coloricon trio palette in Knock on Wood and a Revlon Illuminance Cream eyeshadow in Precious Metals.

I will definitely be using all of these so stay tunned for the swatches and reviews.

Clinique Happy Heart is my absolute favorite perfume ever! I have been using Clinique Happy (original scent) since 2006 and started using Clinique Happy Heart in 2008. I absolutely love both variants. I can't remember how many times I've repurchased both Clinique Happy and Clinique Happy Heart over the years.

Its fragrance is just so mild, feminine and very elegant.  It stays long and actually lasts through out the day without having to add a few more spritz.  The 100 ml size bottle could last up to 6 months for me, depending on usage.

My brother gave me this Clinique Happy perfume as a gift last Christmas 2010.  It was perfect because I already ran out of perfumes to use. I thought he knew it was my favorite, but he didn't have a clue, it was his fiance who chose this for me.  I couldn't stop smiling when I opened it. (thanks kuya)

This has actually become my signature scent and I have no plans of switching.  On days that I don't wear Clinique Happy, I use local perfume from Scents and Blends specifically "White Ginger" love it!

How bout you ladies, do you have a signature scent?

 This is it for now.

- Cuddles cotton squares.  I have been using this since 2007. It's inexpensive, really soft, absorbs liquid quickly and it's square shape is awesome (I can easily fold it). I like it better than the round variant.

- GynePro feminine wash.  This is the first time I will be using GynePro. I'm crossing my fingers and hope that this relieves itchiness well like my Betadine feminine wash.

- Skinwhite body lotion, Papaya variant.  I have been using Skinwhite body lotion for years but I just had to try out their new Papaya variant. I fell in love with the scent when I opened it so I'm sure this is another keeper.

- Garnier bodylight Whitening UV lotion.  I already consumed a whole bottle and decided to repurchase this.  I can't really say that I like this product,  but I do like the fact that its not sticky and it works like a sunblock.  I haven't noticed any lightening effect yet that's why I decided to give it a second try.

- Myra whitening facial lotion.  I just grabbed the sachet to give it a try, I tried it later that night and also in the morning after bath, too bad it felt itchy and it gave me redness and allergies. Whew, I'm so glad I just picked up a sachet. I definitely won't be using this again.

This is it for now.
