44 Piece Professional Makeup Palette

I sometimes offer makeup service for my friends and cousins. Last year I missed two clients because I declined to have their makeup done, why? Because of lack of makeup tools. So I decided to collect makeup palettes this year so whenever someone ask for my makeup service I am 100% ready and available.

I've been eyeing  these 3 online shops which sells makeup palettes, but since I am a "thrifty person" (hence the name of this blog) I compare the prices of their products and find out that the makeup palettes are all the same, except that the 2 online shops only change or personalized the palette to have their online shops name printed on the palette. And Glittergirl Shop offers the cheapest price so I did my first purchase of this 44 piece pro makeup palette to them.

Dirty little secret : I find out that this palette is Singapore authentic or what we all know a replica. The palette that I got from glittergirl shop has "MAC" label on it, but I know that it wasn't authentic. I wasn't actually inform that the product was MAC replica because I have seen the same palette from the 2 online shops which makes me think that it was just a non-brand makeup that they import and have their online shop name printed on the palettes. So yeah, the makeup palette that you will see below is a mac replica, it was actually just the same with makeup palette that was being sold by the other 2 online shops.

But nonetheless, I don't have regrets in buying this palette, because I really need this wide selection of colors i doing makeup look.

Here's how it looks like:

Upper Portion compose of lipsticks and concealers. It's detachable.

Lower portion of the palette compose of eyeshadows, blushes and contour/highlight.

The palette has 16 lipsticks - 6 cream concealers - 16 eyeshadows (matte and shimmery)  - 3 blushes - and 3 contouring/highlighting powders.

Youcan detache the first palette and put it at the back of the palette's lid.

Lipsticks 1-8

Lipsticks 9-16

Lipsticks are not matte, some are very pigmented and some are just  so-so lippies. I love using the red shades and the peachy shades perfect for "young-looking" makeup. The lipstick usually stays on for about 2-3 hours.

Cream Concealers

Cream Concealers - I am glad that it contains a lot of concealers. It is very important to have a wide selection of colors since your client doesn't have the same skin tones. 

Eyeshadows 1-8

Eyeshadows 9-16

Eyeshadows - Some were shimmery and some are matte. Dark colors are very pigmented. It has fall out but eyeshadow primer will surely solve this dilemma!

Blushes and Contouring powders

Blush - I love the blushes from this palette, they are pigmented. I only wish they add coral-ish shade!

Contour/Highlight powder - It isn't that pigmented but I think it's good enough since contour and highlight should be really just minimal. It's blendable and buildable.

You might not like the artificial scent of the palette but for it's price I still love this palette! I will make a saparated post for the swatches of this palette, so stay tuned!

Thanks Glitter girl shop for a super fast transaction and for the freebies!

The palette only cost P500.00 plus 50pesos for shipping fee in MM. Other shops sell this for 800+pesos.

Haul : Bags from Impulse Co.

Online shopping of the most thrifty find is I think my best talent! Haha I've been patiently searched for the most cheapest one before I purchase it.

Here's another haul  for this year:

Bags from Impulse Co.

I've been wanting to buy bags from Impulse but whenever they have their sale I always run out of money. lol So when I had the chance to buy 3 bags from their inventory sale, this is what I've got:

Pink doctors bag

and this black and gray satchel bag.

I super love the bags! I use the gray one at work then the pink one on our Christian meeting.

So yeah, you might want to check out Impulseco. facebook account if you want to purchase beautiful but affordable bags both for ladies and gents :)

Review on bags: All of the bags looks so expensive. Specially the pink doctors bag, it is thick and you very spacious. Also the black and gray checkered satchel looks elegant. I've been using it as my working bag since A4 docs can fit inside and it is also spacious. The other one (black and blue mini satchel) is quite spacious too, I can put my foldable umbrella inside and my makeup kit. It also has 2 compartment outside which is a nice fit for your cellphone and wallet. I am very much impressed with the quality of the bags.

Weekend Haul:Sta.Lucia+Japan Home Centre+Excel lip creams & more

Hi guys! How's your long weekend? Did you enjoy it?

Hmm me, I enjoyed it a bit, but most of the time I just stayed here at home.

I wasn't able to post anything from past 3 days so I decided to share with you this.

Here's what I've got from my latest haul!

 I already emptied my Nivea Whitening Cell Repair lotion, and mom wants me to try the Block and White in Pearl White since it is 10-peso cheaper and contains100ml more than Nivea. This was my 2nd time to try the new variant of B&W, the first was the Green one but I wasn't able to make a review about it, sorry.

 And also, my friend, Rachel is selling excel lip creams and I decided to buy 3. She was too kind to sell me these for very low prices like I've never been see in any online store. She even gave me two for FREE! Thanks hun! You are always sweet to me! Review will be very soon! Promise! hehe

 I'm tired of using Maxi Peel, that's why I opted for Eskinol Facial Cleanser since I am having some zits on my forehead and cheeks.
Block and White (350ml) P180.00
Eskinol P35.00

 I also bought this from Rachel, for only P80.00 :)

And last Saturday, mom and I went to Sta.Lucia to buy new Thermos but look what we've got!

Cotton buds (3) P88.00

And 3 pairs of shoes which are on SALE:

3 pairs for only P850? Yes!

This one is for me:

 Too bad, dahil sa pagmamadali, yung left wedge lang ang sinukat ko na nakadisplay, di ko na sinukat yung right side kaya ayun masikip pala saken yung right side ang sakit sa paa!

 Old price was P899

Now for only P299!

 Size 5, sorry for my gross feet!

And this one from Finickee is for my sister-in-law:
