Finally after being hiatus for months. I'm finally back on blogging! Now I will be doing a unboxing post on my BeautyMNL haul! This is an early Christmas gift to myself but then tried to control myself not to buy too much since I have to save as well. This is my very first time to shop at BeautyMNL and I guess I will be buying again.

If you haven't heard of BeautyMNL yet, well let me introduce them to all of you!

BeautyMNL is one of the biggest beauty sites in the Philippines. They do have a wide range of makeup and skincare products from popular brands such as L'Oreal, NYX, Maybelline, OFRA, Wet N' Wild,  etc. They also have Korean skincare and cosmetic products such as Innisfree, Holika Holika, Banila Co, Too Cool for School, COSRX and also products from local brands such as Pink Sugar and Ellana! 

I love how BeautyMNL' s site is very informative in terms of beauty and skincare. They do have different articles that give you tips on skincare and makeup related things. I also find it awesome that they do have different deals and sale from time to time. The shipping time took 3 days for the products to arrive at my home. I placed my order on a Sunday and received it 3 days after. 

So now let me show you everything that I have purchased from BeautyMNL:

Pucker Up Matte Lipstick (Havana)

Price: P159

I am really unfamiliar with this brand. Reading all of those reviews makes me want to try this as well, considering that the price is good. I decided to give it a try. All of the shades were all sold out so I decided to get this shade instead. Thankfully, upon receiving the lipstick the shade was good. I will be creating a review for this product, so stay tuned!

Skin Genie Lip and Cheek Stain Alive

Price: P80

Saw this on BeautyMNL's best seller products. Other shades are sold out so I decided to just get this instead to be safe. I feel so excited to try this lip and cheek stain and know why this is one of their best sellers. The price is sooooooo affordable though. I would love to buy this again to give it as a gift to my friends.

Beach Born Sea Salt Spray

Price: P180

Since this is one of their best sellers in BeautyMNL, I got intrigued to also try this. I don't usually buy hair care products however upon seeing good reviews on it, I feel like wanting to try it to use on times when I just want my hair to look like #IWokeUpLikeThis, nah, I mean like when I want my hair to have beautiful curls.

#213 Red Cherry Lashes

Price: P160

I've been wanting to try eyelashes from the brand Red Cherry since I've been hearing that the quality of their eyelashes is great. I finally have the chance to try them out! 

Be Organic Bath and Body - Exfoliating Oatmeal Soap

Price: P80

I really don't know why I bought this..

Maybe because some of the products that I want from BeautyMNL are all sold out so... 

Still, I would love to try this and check whether it's good or not!

Hana Anti-Hairfall Shampoo Set (380mL each)

Price: P125

Bought this because this is my favorite shampoo as of the moment! I was surprised when the package arrived because I didn't think that it was 380mL. (I didn't read the description) 

What a great steal! I got 2 380 mL Hana shampoos at just 125 pesos.

Detail Oval Brush for Foundation

Price: P199

What a beautiful brush. I didn't expect that it would be that small. I haven't tried using oval brushes before so let me give this a try if it does help to give a great foundation finish.

Can't believe that the total amount of the products that I purchased was just less than P1000! To be exact, all of these are just P983 + free shipping!

BeautyMNL offer free shipping until 23 December 2016 so if you are interested, go now and shop at www.beautyMNL.com!

Its been really a long time since I posted another review. I've been on a hiatus so that's why I cannot post anything on my blog. However, today I am back with another review from the brand Cathy Doll! I also do have another Cathy Doll product review and it is an eyebrow product. Feel free to go back to one of my post if you are also interested in checking it out. Okay going on to this product review, I got this few months from Mommy Rockin' Style and decided to do a review on it. Actually, this is already an overdue review because I got too busy at work that's why I couldn't post anything on my blog. 

I do love lip balms as my lips tends to be flaky everytime. The first thing that caught my eyes on this product is the pretty packaging! I have a weak heart for products with gorgeous packaging.

 P199

SWATCH

This lip balm stick is very hydrating and moisturizing. It doesn't try out my lips and I like that it gives a natural effect to the lips even though my lips are so pale, it managed to give a natural color. The scent was good as well because it has some kind of cherry scent. However, the lasting power is not that good. It can last you 2 or 3 hours, and it can fade away when you eat, re-applying would be necessary.

RATE

3.5/5

PROS

Moisturizes the lips

Recently I've been exploring on local brands and I decided to also do reviews on local beauty brands so that I can expand the scope of my beauty blog not only limiting to Korean beauty products. I am very familiar with those local brands but I haven't tried most of them. To tell you honestly, back then I was really hesitant to try local beauty products because I thought that they're not good and might irritate my skin. Since I'm a big fan of K-Beauty, I prefer buying Korean beauty products than the local brand. A time came when I was with my Mom and she was looking for some makeup products to buy, we came upon the beauty section in the department store where local and foreign brands are found, and she bought some cosmetics while I explored on some brands, actually I was thinking of buying a lipstick from Fashion21 because my cousin recommended it. And lo and behold, I bought myself one and also some of the other products from Fashion21.

All-Day Matte Lipstick (Cabaret)

Price: P175

Ingredients:

PARAFFINUM LIQUIDUMETHYLEXYL PALMITATE, OZOKERITE, LANOLIN, COPERNICIA, CERIFERA CERA, CERESIN, CERA ALBA, MICA, TALC, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE

The packaging looks like a bullet shaped one which also reminds of MAC lipsticks.

This lipstick is really pigmented. I love how I can use this lipstick on a daily basis and whenever I go to work. There are 15 shades to choose from on the All Day Matte Lipstick, from nudes, pinks, and reds, but this one is my favorite! When I apply two layers of this lipstick, it is enough to cover my entire lips and to keep the lipstick stay for long hours. Well, it really depends if you applied a thin layer and you ate some food or drinks, it might fade but in my case, I always apply layers of the lipstick so that it will stay on my lips for a long time. I guess the maximum staying power is about 4-5 hours based on my experience, then I have to re-apply again. It doesn't have a smell though and it doesn't dry out my lips because I always exfoliate before applying matte lipsticks. But for some people who have flaky or cracked lips, exfoliate your lips first and apply lip balm before applying matte lipsticks like this so your lips won't dry out or become flaky. Another thing that I love about this lipstick is its affordable price. This is definitely a budget-friendly beauty product. Overall, I love this and I would definitely purchase another one when I run out of it, and I would also want to try other shades too. 

Have you ever tried this lipstick from Fashion21 before? 

These are some of their best products that have been garnering popularity around the world.
