May Haul 2011 - warning! heavy images

I wanted to post this entry a lot earlier since I've been so lazy updating my vlog and blog about the items I found and I've been wanting to try for the entire month of May and I was surprise on how much I spend (wahahaha) but at the end of the day, I was still happy because I satisfied my craving and my curiousness about beauty related and make up stuff! So below are the items I bought for the entire month of May. Some I already tested some, I am still about to try.

 Beauty Related Products:

Asian Secrets Lulu Whitening Body Scrub
This product promises to exfoliate your skin and remove dead skins to leave your skin feeling smooth with radiant glow.
It has green tea and vitamin E. Just scrub this product in your skin especially the dark areas while it is dry to remove dead skin and dirt.

Caronia
Recently, I am somehow obsessed with nail polishes and I found myself buying a lot of nail polish and things that are use to groom your nails. I have to admit was so into make up stuff and I neglected to pay attention on my nails. I do not have the nicest nails but moving forward, I will be spending enough time to pamper my nails so I bought the following items from Caronia.

Wet n Wild Nail Polish - Mega Last Nail Color
I sooo love this color. Its barely seen in my nails and it looks so natural when you apply it on your nails. It's a bit pricey for a nail polish but I am when I saw this, I told myself, "I have to have that!" so without second thoughts, I grab one from the counter. 
The name of the shade is "Private Viewing" and i believe the shade it almost the same as "touch of tan" shade from Caronia nail polish.

Lipstick Holder - Index Holder
I am so happy to see my lipstick collection is growing and I still have a lot of brands and shades to try but it worried me a lot on how to keep them all together and secure. I happen to be with sisters to buy some school supplies that they need for the up coming school year when I saw this:
It hit me when I remember Say, a filipina Make Up Guru in youtube mention that she used this as an alternative lipstick holder. I take a pick inside the box to see how spacious it is and I immediately put this on our cart. 
This so perfect for my growing lipstick collection.

Eyebrow Saver
I've also been obsessed in grooming my eyebrows and I've been following a make up guru in youtube name BEBEXO because I love her style and simplicity. I recently saw her tutorial on how to shape your eyebrow and I so love it. In the video, she used eyebrow shavers to remove excess hairs on the top of the eyebrow and she mention that the shaver she was using was a gift from her friend her in the Philippines. So I've tried to search for the exact razor that she used but I failed. However, a sales lady offered me an alternative razor which have the same size of what I was looking for and these are Bikini Line Razors. She offered me 2 types from 2 different brands and I found it funny but cute. I also thought that it might actually work.
I am not sure if this razor is a Japanese or a Korean brand but I bought this in Watson's. Good thing is that my brows is in need of major grooming so I got the chance to try and see if this actually works. I used this to shave the top hairs of my eyebrows but it seems like its not getting a lot of hairs. Maybe because of the guide type of in front of the blade itself.
I also tried to use the shaver from the Watson's brand. It's 3 shavers in one pack so I think its a plus for me.
I opened and decided to try this as well. It also have the same guide type in front of the blade so even if I haven't open it, I already got the feeling that it won't work as what I expected.
Both shavers can at least shave hair but not enough to clear the hairs. Since 
I tried to look around to get the regular eyebrow shaver when I happen to cross Ever Belina counter and saw a shaver where the blades are quite smaller than the regular eyebrow shavers.
This is just Php50.00 and I find it cute and handy. As I mention the blade is smaller that the regular eyebrow shaver.
Plus the cute blade cover is also adorable.

Make Up Stuff

ELF Cosmetics
Elf All Over Cover Stick in Honey
I was planning to use this as a concealer but I picked a color that is nearest to my skin tone instead of one shade lighter

I like this mascara because of the sleek packaging.
I fall in love with it the moment I saw the bristles.

Etude House
I went to the new store location of Etude House in SM Megamall and picked up some items. I also got a free item (1 pack of tissue) since I have my membership card with me which I got last year(I think I am a member for more than a year now)
Etude Surprise Essence Concealer
Bling Bling Eye Sticks - Pearl White
False Eyelashes in Secret and Vivid

Wet n Wild
I've stop by Wet n Wild counter in SM Megamall Department Store to pick up the brow kit that BEBEXO used in her brow tutorial. I also picked up some lip glosses.
I've started using this every single day ever since I got this.
It's true that the shades in this kit do not have a red under tone which makes it look more natural when you apply it in your brows
It comes with a small tweezer and a small angled brush which I must say that I am not a huge fan.
MegaSlicks - 566 Mettalic
MegaSlicks - 565C Gloss

Ever Belina
Cream Foundation with Stick Concealer - Neutral

Matte Lipstick - Love that Red
This will go to my new lipstick box (rack)

Maybelline
I stop by Maybelline counter as well to check if there are any new items that I could be interested on and I found out that they were on sale that time on selected items. I immediately look at their lipsticks and pick this shade.
Maybelline Watershine Pure Lipstick

ONE
I've always been interested in ONE make up counter in Watson's. I don't hear people talking about the products they sell so I am so reluctant to try. They say that the ingredients use in this make up brand are all organic mineral. Good thing that they are on sale so I decided to get one product from them and I picked up this:
ONE Naturales Lip Tune-up Shea Butter Lip Balm

That's all I have for the month of May. Looking forward for more products to test in June! lavyah!
