Every time I go to Watsons, I always end up buying something that's not part of my actual list--and it's usually makeup.  Also, I usually pick up stuff from local brands, and in fairness madaming good quality.  This time I got three things:  Kokuryu Summer Cake in Orange Blush (P110.00 for a 25g pan), Nichido BB Cream Every Day Wear in BB 02 Skin (P238.00 for a 20 ml tube), and Ever Bilena Advance Mascara Duo (P200.00).

I've tried both the Summer Cake and BB Cream, and OK naman sila.  By OK, I mean hindi sila fail, pero hindi din sila extraordinary.  I have combination skin, and somehow the BB Cream was a bit oily for me.  Actually mas gusto ko yung Summer Cake, di ko lang ma-take ang amoy. But for the price, super sulit na din.  I have yet to try the mascara.

Aside from Watsons another store that I always make sure to visit is Daiso (and its sister store Japan Home Center), kasi naman sobrang cute ng mga items nila.  Cute pero useful.  More importantly, mura!  Everything is just either P66.00 or P88.00, saan ka pa.  So here I bought three things din:  Eyebrow Pencil in Natural Brown (with spin pencil lead on one end and a spoolie on the other), Cola de Mascara in Black, and Ellefar Princess Powder Foundation (6.5g compact), all at P88.00 each.

I've tried the powder foundation and the mascara, and OMG I love them!  Surprisingly, the powder was light yet had great coverage, and not oily or heavy for my skin.  'Yung mascara was a great find--it really highlighted and extended my lashes, and never smudged or irritated my eyes.  Cheap but good!  I live for finds like these.
Next time I go to Daiso, I'm going to get their other makeup items.  Now na!

Being at home during the Holy Week (well, since Thursday) made me just restless and so had to get out at about--even if it's just to the nearest Walter Mart.

I actually looove Walter Mart, I think everything there is cheaper than in other malls, and somehow everything's less rigid and a lot friendlier (read: compared to SM malls).  So when I checked out the new Walter Mart around 5-10 minutes away from my house, I was pleasantly surprised to see a store I haven't seen before:  UNO Factory Outlet.  It's got all sorts of stuff, kind of like a one-stop shop actually, with random items on sale:

I went around and also saw clothes for both men and women, as well as house stuff:

But what got me all excited was the makeup counter, which had makeup brands I'd never seen before and at prices I'd never seen before, either:
Sure, these are all cheap makeup, not expected to last all that long, but who cares? I had a blast choosing makeup that looked like fun, and this is what I got:

Prices are as follows (clockwise):
Qianyu natural eye shadow palette - Php 44.50
XXL Sofe Lip & Eye liner pencil (with built-in sharpener) - Php 9.50 each (got them in black and brown)
Daiyasi 3D Shine & Care lipgloss - Php 29.50
Jialiqi Unlimited Enlarge Clear Smooth liquid eyeliner - Php 29.50
Ling Mei liquid/pen eyeliner (in leopard-print packaging!) - Php 34.50
Aron lipstick magic - Php 29.50
For a grand total of Php 186.50!  I can't even remember buying a piece of makeup at that low a price!  But seeing if they will actually work is another story.  Will blog about that soon.

I'll probably go back to UNO to check out their other items next weekend.  Till then!
