Department Store Discoveries: March

Sharing with you some of the things I recently got from either HBC or Watson's. I'm so excited! Who says beauty has to be expensive? Clearly, they haven't gone make-up shopping on a budget!

1. SanSan Concealer in Beige (around Php 105)

2. BYS Lipstick in Risky Business (Php 229) - I love how it's a cross between baby pink, nude, and salmon! My first lippie from BYS is Cherry Black. Will post a review soon!

3. ELF Eyelash Curler (Php 129) - comes with a free rubber thingy

 

 4. ELF Eyebrow Kit in Light (Php 249.75) - Can't wait to rave about this!

 

5. Essence Matte Bronzing Powder in 02 Sunny - Still on trial phase. It's quite difficult for me to find a decent contouring powder, but I hope this will do nicely. I might get the other one for blondes too.

So yeah, my wallet cried a little, but overall I'm happy I'm packed with a few essentials. I've been trying to save up since being in-between jobs means my last pay would be withheld. I might have to scrimp out on shopping next time. Wish me luck!

My Week in Photos: Bittersweet Farewell

Hello! I know I've been putting off way too much lately, but it's mostly because a.) I am very sick, and b.) I have a lot to catch up on at work, especially since I have a little over two weeks left here. Yes, I have resigned from my very first job after college. And no, there are no bitter feelings on my end. I just need to focus on conquering grad school right now and need to make it my top priority. 

Just to give everyone a sneak peek into my uber hectic life, here's a rundown of what went down last week. I'm really just making the most out of my remaining weeks with my current company. I've had my share of fun, but sometimes, we have to grow up and move on.

Before me, my good friend Rae resigned as well and he will be taking on a  steeper hill. I know he can do it. He's always been a fighter and his can-do spirit is just admirable. Here's a tribute to his last week with the company and his last few events with us.

We'll miss our late nights at the office.

All the wonderful memories captured in photo booth shots.

We make a great team!

The balloon drop never fails to amaze me. (Thanks, Candy!)

Who says you can't recycle your graduation dress?

Hi, Ria! Let's hit the beach soon, yes?

Wining and Dining @ the Makati Shangri-la

I'm not much of a wine person but this is really gooood.

Champagne. That's more like it.

Take me to sugar land! I just can't get enough of desserts!

Surprise Send-off Party!

Our BAG family treated us to a night of kulit. Overwhelmed! Thanks, guys!

Our new favorite poison! Taken at Imperial Bar at the Fort Strip.

A nightcap with vodka seems inevitable. Thanks to Dominic for accommodating us!

Rae treated us to a despedida lunch the next day at California Pizza Kitchen.

Skin White Enchant Prom @ the Marriott Hotel

I rarely wear a red lip, but for this occasion, how can I not? :)

Another attempt at an #ootd shot. Haha! Dress is from H&M.

Please pardon the quality of the photos. They were taken with my Samsung Galaxy Ace.

I'll post more updates soon! I have so muuuuch product reviews I can't wait to share with everyone! I had a very interesting visit to the department store yesterday and I got some pretty interesting items (there goes my sweldo!) So stay tuned for that and more! ;)
