Haul: Unii Palette

It took 27 days and an angry letter drafted to Philpost, but I finally received my UNII Palette from uniicosmetics! I got so impatient with the long shipping, eventhough the company emailed me and told me that shipping to manila could take up to 4 weeks,due to customs. Whatever, it's here and the wait was worth it :)


Pretty packaging


Instructions on how to depot, what refills can fit etc


I got the color eggplant--so pretty :)


It's got a thumb grip and a big mirror. Very convenient when you're on the go!


It comes with a extra sheet of magnet


Makes my heart flutter


I really really love this palette, it's made really well and you know your makeup is safe because it feels really sturdy. Not like the mac palettes, which feel flimsy. I suppose you can fit more pans if you arrange them better, but I'm pretty lazy so i just popped these in, not bothering to arrange them properly!

Overall, these palettes are great, especially if you have a ton of eyeshadow and like to depot them. I'm super in love with them, I ordered 2 more palettes!! One in snow and promograte! So frigging excited!

Review: Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer


I like the chic packaging


The tube has 10g / 0.35 oz of product






It has a slight shimmery finish


Likes:
- Very affordable at P 298 ( roughly around $6.78 )
- Cute packaging
- Very effective. My shadow did not crease for hours
- Makes my eyeshadow more vibrant
- Creamy and blends well

Dislikes:
- The packaging is cute but when I go through the product more, It might be a pain to get the product out
- It's not available in ALL the malls in Manila. I guess I need to go to SM Manila more :)

Overall:
This is a fantastic primer. I still have TFSI and a backup but I find myself reaching for this all week. My eyeshadow stayed put for the 6 hours I was out last night and I'm sure it would lasted longer than that. I can't say it is better than TFSI or UDPP but it's definitely comparable. So if you're on a budget and in need of a primer, BUY THIS PRODUCT!

Will i repurchase?
YES! When I run out of my TFSI and my backup :)

Haul: Revlon Colorstay Foundation & Falsies Container





I finally caved and bought myself a bottle of the infamous Revlon Colorstay foundation! I don't wear foundation on a daily basis, only on special occasions like weddings, dinners, drinks with friends etc. so i didn't want to spend on MAC's Studio Fix Fluid ( which is double the price) People have been touting this product as their holy grail so I really couldn't resist it anymore :)Hopefully I wont break out though :/

The falsies container is actually a pencil case from BEABI. A local store like MUJI. I wanted something to store my falsies in when I travel and I thought this was perfect!! It cost P70 which is like $1.25? Very cheap and a very good buy :)

PS: You can fit more that 2 pairs of falsies in the container, it depends on how you store them :) I"m not really good at maximizing my space though :) hehe

So that was my mini haul of the week! What did you buy this week??
