Love at first delight @_@

I really am a sucker for all things pretty, so imagine my delight when i came across this beauty at Guerlain, it was love at first sight, i knew i wanted to take this pretty baby home. :) But with the Php3,850 (Approx. US $80) price tag, i chose to wait for the BPI Megatent Sale where i got it for Php1,800!!! can you believe it? more than 50% off! i was so happy! ;) Why pay more when you can pay less then buy more? did i confuse you? hahaha!

The Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Cherry Blossom is a light, fresh floral scent which will remind you of spring and summer all year round. If you like fresh, citrusy & floral scents you will like this one. Perfect if you're in need of some refreshing of the visual and olfactory senses. heehee :)

Beauty & the beads jewelry

Don't you just love pretty things? This post is overdue since these earrings are just a part of a weekend haul i did a week ago, but i'm dividing it into categories because im organized like that. ;)

These earrings are too pretty for me not to notice, it was a SALE event so I just couldn't resist getting them. :)

Laneíge Strawberry Yogurt Peeling Gel

I recently bought Laneíge's Strawberry Peeling Gel [2-step dead cell care] because I was intrigued by it and i love how yummy it smells! SA was so nice she gave me lots of samples to try out. :)

ingredients:

Peeling gel kiss hahaha! :)

spread and massage gently (especially if you have sensitive skin)

massage until you see dead skin cells/dirt surfaces/pollutants come up, apparently i had clean hands at the time. :)

I've only used it once for now since i wouldn't want to over exfoliate my skin but i saw a brightening effect and a very clean, smooth and soft feel on my face after washing with lukewarm water, plus the smell is so yummy i had to keep my tongue inside my mouth while massaging my face with the gel. :P LOL! 

I tried it on the boyfriend too and he didn't mind at all! in fact he liked it. A plus for bonding element of the product. hehe :)

I recommend this to the ladies (and gents) who love to exfoliate and who love strawberry scent. I bought this at Laneíge, Trinoma fro Php1,250 (approx. US $27). It comes in a 150ml. bottle, thats a lot of product so i don't think i will repurchase for a long while.

Kanebo Allie Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++

I bought the 25ml bottle just to try it out, its liquid consistency makes it glide on smoothly and it is not oily nor dry when applied to the face. I like it a lot. I think I will try the Allie whitening sunscreen next.

Majolica Majorca Jeweling Eyes SV887

swatch in natural daylight

swatch with brighter daylight. hahaha! 

SV887 E/S palette is a very pretty metallic with a touch of pink. At first i thought the pink color was vivid but it wasn't, but its okay because i think the colors compliment one another. I just regret not buying the other colors! i want the pink, violet and blue palettes as well after seeing them on lotuspalace! :)

Thats all for now, i hope you enjoyed reading as much as i have enjoyed making this post! Take care lovelies!

iWant!

These are just too cute to pass up on! I went to the Shu Uemura store at Powerplant, Rockwell to check if they are selling already but SA said that the Tsumori Chisato Collection won't be out until November. I can't wait to check them out!!! :)

How do you feel about this collection? Will you be hoarding? ;) Please let me know your thoughts on the color on the palettes, because i think some shades are already visible in my collection. Is it worth buying for the packaging only? Would love to hear/read from you!
