San-San Haul + FOTD

Hello lovelies! How has everyone been? I've been pretty busy with work at the start of this week, but that won't stop me from blogging. hehe

After work today, I dropped by the closest HBC store to check out the San-San Cosmetics gondola. I have been hearing good reviews about this brand for quite some time now because of its great quality for such an affordable cost! When I say affordable, IT IS SUPER AFFORDABLE!! :) I initially wanted to buy their eye shadow brushes however they were out, so I decided to try their other products. It was so hard to choose, they have a lot of products! Oh, by the way, I got my loot for only PHP535!!!! That's about $11! Cheap eh? So check out my haul below:


Items:
San-San eye shadow trio in 03
San-San eye liner pen
San-San eye shaow duo 09 (greens)
San-San eye shadow pencil in peach
San-San eye shadow pencil in green
San-San moisture lipstick in pink berry margharita
San-San coral collection in golden seashore


Moisture lipstick in Pink Berry Margharita


San-San coral collection in golden seashore, I super love this, it's actually an eye shadow duo but i bought it so I can use it as blush! :) Check out the swatch:

leftmost: darker pink, middle: orange/peach, rightmost: both colors combined


Swatch Eye shadow sticks and Eyeliner pen


Swatch of eyeshadow duo in green


I was so thrilled because the products are really nice and super affordable. I just wish there were more HBC stores around. They aren't really present in all malls so you might have a hard time locating a store. But don't worry, the visit to an HBC store is worth it! :)

Anyway, here's my FOTD using some of the newly purchased San-San products :)




What I used:

Face:
Smashbox Illuminating Serum
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation NC40
Make Up Forever Highlight and Contour
San-San Coral Collection in Golden Seashore used as Blush :)

Eyes:
Smashbox eye illuminating serum
MAC NW35 concealer
Urban Decay Primer Potion
San-San eye shadow pencil in green (as base)
Mineral Eye Shadows in Aqua, Dark Blue and Black (click here for the swatches)
San-San eye liner pen
Benefit Bad Gal Mascara

Lips:
MAC NC30 concealer as primer
San-San Moisture lipstick in Pink Berry Margharita



Okay, I really have to get ready for bed, work again tomorrow!

Goodnight Everyone!


Toodles! :)

  19. I've tried the mascara and the liquid liner from this brand. Both are okay I guess but what really annoys me is that they both dry out so fast! within a couple of weeks my mascara was too thick to use and the liner was similarly dried up.

  20. In the early days, most lenders would only give out their funds after confirming that the applicant had a real good record of handling his or her finances. They could easily tell this by checking the credit history of the person applying for their loans.
