Hooray For May! A Haul Post feat. OPI, Shu Uemura x Tsumori Chisato and More Kawaii Stuff!

*please forgive me for leaving you breathless with that title.*

Its the last day of May! I cannot believe it's mid-year already, time surely flies by super fast! I'm sure all the filipino shopaholics are gearing up towards all the mid-year sales coming! Im only looking forward to one store, Mango (my favorite!) They have a lot of super cute dresses, tops and shorts for summer this year and I cannot wait to grab them all at lower prices!  Living in a tropical country has the advantage of wearing summer fashion all year long which I love! :)

Even if summer is nearly over for us here in the Philippines (as we have been experiencing random rain showers and thunderstorms recently) God blessed us with a clear sky today. I was out and about with my kid cousin all day, we went to the mall, had his hair cut, had really good pasta for lunch and then I bought him some other stuff he needed for school. It was a nice bonding thing for us. Even if we live in the same house and see each other everyday! :P

But of course, I wouldn't pass up the chance of hauling some stuff for myself,

here are some things which caught my little eyes and left my wallet lighter. ^_~

some OPI Nail Lacquers...

my OPI collection is growing fast! I haven't even posted the first ones I got yet! :D

tested out 10 colors from Lippmann and OPI, but went home with these complexion flattering poopsies. (yep, I got that term from Ursula.) LOL!

I also got a shampoo bar and square tin from LUSH...

travel buddies:)

Before going home, I dropped by by Bon's tangible store in Banawe, Quezon City called Wang-Lai Mart, which is loaded with yummy asian food, kawaii stuff and great beauty buys!  She stocks up on various BB creams like BRTC and L'egere, Shiseido fine toiletries like Tsubaki and some Jill Stuart too! Check out her site wehaveit43.multiply.com if you cant come to the store, she has really good prices for her products, plus she's really nice and polite. :) Im so sorry I dont have pics to show how her store is filled with Sanrio cuteness, I forgot my camera! *ashamed blogger*

So what did I come home with? I got this LE Tsumori Chisato Planet Pouch which sold out in stores a long time ago. Its part of Shu Uemura's Holiday 2009 collection. See my crazy haul post here.

I may be 25y.o. but obviously, I'm not over my stars obsession just yet, the star studs are so beautiful *mesmerizing* and the puffed pouch is functionally cute! :) Can you blame me? I hope not. :D

as you can see I filled it up with my cosmetic necessities already! :)

I also spied super cute ang-pao's and got some for my adorable god-children...

Sugarbunnies Shirousa and Kurousa in sakura backdrop & Hello Kitty CNY edition!!! ^_^!

that's all for now, i have to get my beauty sleep! Im not getting 8 full hours anymore, but sleep is sleep! hahaha!

 Gingy says goodnight dahlin's! xoxo

"sweet" dreams! ;)

Major Haul: Tsumori Chisato for Shu Uemura love

 I'm seeing stars! A bag and a box of Tsumori Chisato awesomeness!

Oh yes, call me a Shu fanatic, i just can't stop staring at the Tsumori Chisato for Shu Uemura stuff! 

Warning: Picture heavy post. ;)

Vanity Planet pouch, Moon Peach lippie, Planet Cat palette, Planet Ribbon palette, Stardust Highlighter and Mirror

goodies in the pouch... kawaii!

SA Cindy gave me lots of samples plus a Shu fanatic card because of this haul.

My freebies include a Red Juvenus Deluxe Sample Skincare with black mesh kit

and 4 travel sized cleansing oils in a white Shu Uemura drawstring pouch

and of course the Tsumori Chisato for Shu Uemura Mirror with drawstring pouch

Now on to the product close ups!

Rouge Unlimited in Moon Peach, a soft pink suitable for everyday use. (this is made in Japan)

Planet Ribbon Palette (did you know that the palettes are made in Korea?)

Planet Cat Palette

Stardust Cat Highlighter (the highlighter is made in Italy)

I don't need another highlighter but the cute cat packaging lured me into buying this, I promise myself that I WILL use this! hahaha

Hands down, Shu Uemura has the cutest holiday collection this year, i just think it's a bit weird that the products come in from 4 different countries (Japan, Korea, Italy and China), and I can't help but wonder if there is a difference in product quality. But I'm not complaining, i think this collection is worth spending for if you love Shu Uemura just like me. ^_^

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!!! :)

Tsumori Chisato Planet Ribbon Palette,

 3 E/S, 1 Cream liner, 1 Highlighter, 1 Blush, 2 Dual-Ended Applicators

Tsumori Chisato Planet Cat

(I think this palette is more wearable for me.)

Tsumori Chisato for S.U. Rouge Unlimited

ooohhh....

Tsumori Chisato for S.U. Gloss Unlimited Mini-Trio Set

(how adorable is that pouch?!)

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!
