The Pink Bag

Long time noooooo BLOG! I really can't keep this thing going much but still trying. :) For a few weeks now, I've been hunting for a great concealer. I have a Mac Pro Longwear Concealer but I was not satisfied, because, for one, I hate the pump that comes with it. It dispenses too much product which can actually cover up the whole of your face. Anyway, like every cosmetic purchase I make, I did my research. There were a lot of runner-ups and guess who one? :)

Can you guess what's inside the bag?

It's the Boi-ing concealer from Benefit! I was choosing between this and TheBalm Time Balm but this was more accessible for me. Or maybe I just got lazy to locate a Beauty Bar near me. :)) Can you see that little guy on the right side? :))

It's the Nyx Concealer in a Jar. My friend, Abi, from church gave it to me because it didn't match her skin tone. That's a double win. :) I got two new concealers in two days. :)

I chose the Benefit Boi-ing because a lot of people were suggesting it to me. Also, whenever I searched for the best concealers out there, this one or the Benefit Erase Paste always came up in the list. There were a lot more great concealers out there but this is more in my price range. If only some bright mind would bring Sephora to the Philippines...:)

Here are more photos of the two concealers:

My shade is 04 Beige

I also got the 02 for the Benefit Boi-ing Concealer

What are your favorite concealers? Please let me know so I'll be able to try them out next time.

Bloggers United 2 purchases

My package from the Bloggers United 2 bazaar has finally arrived. I've used the coupon that my sister won during the event to purchase a few cosmetics/tools from the new Multiply interface.

NYX Round Lipsticks

I got these from Digital Traincase. Here's a few swatches of the shades I got.

I also did a comparison between these shades and a couple of shades that I already owned.

Lastly, I also got a Charm Vegan Collection: Shading Brush. I've been eyeing this vegan collection from Charm for a few weeks now. I think I'll get myself a set for the Holidays. :) Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of the brush.

I love the new Multiply interface. All you need to do is to search for the item you want to purchase then, click "Buy." Then, it's just a smooth process from there. Payment is also easy. You can pay using credit cards, through bank deposits or G-cash. Internet shopping is crazy nowadays! It's so easy, you don't even have to go out. All you have to do is search online. :) I've also ordered a few more items from Multiply and I'm waiting for them to arrive.

Were you able to attend the bazaar? Have you tried the new Multiply Interface? If you'd like to avoid the crazy traffic and all the hassle of Christmas shopping, internet shopping is one way to go. :)

Love lots,
