My First Online Shopping at U.S through House of Flair

I'm not afraid of shopping online locally, since I am not using credit card or paypal (dahil wala naman ako nun), much safer kasi for me kung ang payment ay through bank deposits. And of course I always make sure that the seller is trusted. But I haven't tried shopping at U.S online stores, cause I know, I don't have paypal or mastercards, and I am just annoyed on how much the shipping fee they would cost me for just a pair of shoes. I remember last August, when I heard that Tilly's.com wass having it's clearance sale and I saw items there that cost $0.99 for accessories and $4.00 for a pair of flats, such a steal right? So I added items on my cart, and upon proceeding to checkout, I was kinda, Oh My Men! You know how much the shipping fee from U.S to Philippines, double the total amount of the items on my cart. I was really heartbroken by the S.F :(, but I'm glad that House of Flair  came to the rescue. Or should I call it a Hero? lol

Well, if you haven't heard anything about HOF here's some info about the store:

The House of Flair prides itself in being honest and trustworthy. Rest assured that all our products are ordered directly from USA online stores."

Ms.Suyen (owner of HOF) informed me that HOF can help me with my problem. And guess what, I only have to pay additional fees but not as much as what the site costs me. And I was literally shocked that the fees does not burn holes in my pocket.! So, last Thursday my package arrived! Wow! After almost 1 1/2 months of waiting finally, here comes my new babies!

YES!!!

This is such an amazing purchased that I've ever did. lol. It is really worth the wait and all my items are in excellent condition, nothing has any defect or whatsoever. I am really really happy with my purchase. House of Flair is really a hero! For a budget conscious like me, HOF is really the answer if I wanted to buy something imported!

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!

 4 bags of something nice!

Cotton buds (3) P88.00

I have lots of compartments for my lippies! Now I think I have to buy more lipstick to accumulate them!

 A mini pillow. I am using monoblock at the office so this will make me comfortable when I am sit all day.

Orange Pillow P89.00

Two personalized Fans.

 Isn't it cute?

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:

 Size 8

This one is for mom:

 Mom always want a pair which is comfortable. Ayaw na nya ng may heels, feeling matangkad e 5 feet lang naman sya.

We really need to buy shoe rack! 

And that's it. I enjoyed having date with mom!

Kahit papano sulit na din ang long weekend!
