September Collective Haul *Birthday Edition*

AH! I have never been this tired in my entire life! [ EXAGGERATED?! lol ] I have been very busy for the past days and I really am not good in time management. I have been trying to juggle things here and there, but it's really not easy! No matter how much I wanted to blog, I just can't find time. I know I promised to make beauty related posts again but I failed to do it. Sorry. I will just do it as soon as I can. For now, I just want to share with you guys a little birthday haul. It's nothing fancy cause you guys know that I am still saving up for a few things. :) Here it goes! ♥

First off, let me share with you guys some few things I bought a few days ago/last week. I don't remember when exactly. YES, I am that preoccupied. :P 

I bought these the same day that I went to shop for my family. Maybe that was last week. 

* ELF Eye Prime and Line Sealer

Php 249.75

I bought this because I ran out of my ELF Primer already. I think the liquid isn't available anymore. I used to use that. 

 * Shawill 6 Color Cream Eye Shadow

Php 128.75

I saw this and bought it for my Ariel Inspired Look.  I ended up not using it though. I just used it to line my eyes.

* Marionnaud N38 Eyes 

Php 49.75

My old one isn't working that good already for some reasons. So, I needed to buy one. 

* Cream Silk reShape

Php 90.00 -ish [ I am not sure. ] 

I bought this because it is 50% off and I THOUGHT I will get the free pouch bag whenever I buy it. BUT I didn't know that the bag is only free if you buy Php 250 worth of products from Cream Silk. I was pissed but bought it anyways. :P 

These things I bought today from Mall of Asia. They are having a 3 day Big Sale, so I took a little advantage of that. It is actually not a fun experience because I use my money. :P

FAVORITES: July 2012

AAH! This is so hard! :P I have been feeling super sleepy and SUPER lazy today. BUT I think a responsible blogger [ naks naman! ], do her "job" first before doing anything else. hehe I just want to get this out of the way, that's why I am doing it now. :P


Anyways, HAPPY AUGUST! ♥ It is unbelievably crazy how time flies! I feel like I just posted my June Favorites the other day. BUT the brighter side is, my Follower of Month will start this month. And next month, is going to be my birthday month. WOOT! Exciting months to come. :) 

So, I will stop blabbing and start talking about the main topic, my July 2012 Favorites! :) 

These are the products I am loving for the month of July. Some of them I already featured in my June faves. But I still included them here. I had to narrow down the products because I feel like everything is my favorite. And that is just crazy! :P

Anyways, let us start off with the body products.

 

1. Herbench So In Love moisturizing lotion. 

I got this early last year, I believe. And I loved it ever since. There was a time that I stopped using it, but I just rediscovered ad got hooked again. I only put lotion on my hands though, I don't really like the feel of it on my legs and wherever else. :) 

2. Zen Zest Tangerine eau de toilette

Again, I loved this ever since I got it. I got it late last year. And I am hooked! But I still have quite a few amount because I tend to switch scent every now and then. I love this for everyday!

3. ESCADA Marine Groove perfume

I love this! I don't use it everyday though. But I love the sweet scent of it. And it lasts all day! I love it!!!

And then my face products. :) 

4. Revlon Colorstay 24 Hour Foundation

I have been using this foundation for the past month. And yes, I love it of course! 

I did a product comparison on this and the San San foundation. Check that out HERE. 

5. 4U2 dreamGirl Faith BB Cream 

I have been using this quite a lot as well. And I like it, kind of. I love the smooth finish it leaves my skin. I also did a recent review on this HERE.

6. 4U2 dreamGirl  Lovelight BB Powder

This I am loving, so far. I have used this ALONE for a a couple of days and I love it. I will review it very soon. :) 

7. Krave's Pretty Young Thin

OH! Another awesome product from the brand. I am a big fan of contouring, and as you all know I LOVE the ELF Duo. But this one is amazing as well. I love it! 

Review soon! :) 

8. Nichido True Color Collection Powder Blush in SUNKISSED

Sun KIsses?! I LOVE IT! hehe I am obsessing over sun kissed-y looks. And this blush really gives you that glow. :)

Review: Krave Minerale Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator

Having an oily skin was once a MAJOR problem for me. When I was in high school I only use my ever reliable blotting paper. And that's it! I used to blot twice or thrice because my skin is oily, the OILIEST I must say. I didn't know the right products to use, or the things to do to help me prevent my skin to look like a GREASE ball at the end of the day. 

A few months back I have heard about Krave's Oil Eliminator and Skin Hydrator. At first, I doubted it. I have seen a couple of products that PROMISES amazing result but ended up disappointing me. But the hype made me really curious. I have read good comments / reviews about the product. So, last June I have finally decided to get one. I actually talked about how I ordered and stuffs HERE. 

Anyways, I know this is a long overdue already.hehe I keep on forgetting to review it. I am almost out of it already too. But here it is! :)  So, keep on reading!

Php 285.00 for 3g of product. 

It claims to : control oiliness all through out the day and makes your make up stay intact all day long.

I love this product. It works amazing! I use it every single day and I think it really helps control the oiliness. I like using it on my t-zone and a little bit on my cheeks area. 

This is what it looks like inside. It also comes with a little powder puff. [ I have a picture here ] 

It is kinda messy. So one tip, Do not peel off the whole sticker. 

Maybe you can just poke it with a needle or just remove half of it.

This is the swatch. It is a translucent powder. So, it won;t change or interfere with your makeup. VERY NICE! :) 

It gives your skin a nice healthy looking glow. I LOVE it! :) And it is also leaves your skin smooth looking. ♥

PROS

* It really does its job. It controls the oiliness. I am not sure if it does help my makeup stay intact though. 

* It doesn't have any smell or whatever. 

* It is translucent! You won't have a problem with it interfering with the color of your makeup. 

* Glides on smoothly into your face

* It makes your skin look smooth. And gives it a very "healthy" looking glow. 

* It really controls my oiliness! It really works! :) 

* I think the price is okay, cause the product can really help you. 

CONS

* The packaging looks cheap. As you can see, the label is starting to rub off.

* It only contains a little product for its price.  [ It's okay for me though. hehe ]

* You can only order it online. 

Will I recommend? 

YES! Definitely! Especially to all the ladies who have oily skin as well. Even if you don't have one, it is perfect for the weather we have in this country. :) 

Will I repurchase?

YES! I need this in my life! hehe ♥

Overall, I really love this product. It lives up to my expectations. :)

HG material? YES! As of the moment, I can't last a day without using it. ♥

I am in love with it! BUT always remember the golden rule. 

" What works for me, MIGHT not work for you. " 

Have you tried this product already? What are your thoughts? I would love to hear it. Share it down below! :)

Check out my on-going giveaway! :)
