Haul: October Haul

Hey pretty ladies!!

So I’m getting bored out of my wits here in the hospital. I’m thinking of adding a post, but with just a Tab, I have limited options. Good thing I take pictures using this, so I still have some of my haul photos in my Gallery. I’ll just talk about that so I won’t start picking on my dextrose.

October Haul:

As of the moment, I’m on an eyeshadow phase. I think I’ve satisfied my primer and foundation craze for the meantime. So I’m on the prowl for eyeshadows with great quality, but friendly on the pocket. So far, the closest I think I could’ve gotten were the Manly palettes. They are great palette with a lot of colors, but I don’t have the funds to buy the set yet, so I have to settle for something cheaper. Now, I was window shopping with hubby down Robinson’s Cybergate when I came across Revlon’s counter. My husband  was busy browsing through the Graphics Cards in the computer shop so I decided to check Revlon's products to see if there was something I’d like. They were on Sale, so I quickly browsed through their single shadows. I picked 2: 

Revlon Matte Single Eyeshadow in Peach Sorbet and Vintage Lace

I love how cheap they are!!!They were marked down from 450 PHP to 150 PHP! Here is a close up pic on the shadows:

Peach Sorbet and Vintage Lace

I don’t know if you could tell, but Peach Sorbet has the pinkish hue. I love using these 2 as my highlight! So, I did purchase the two but I was so in love with their cousin, the Perle and Satin shadows. They were not on sale, so I had to back off. Boo-hoo. =(

A few days later, hubby and I were strolling at SM, when I decided to pass by their cosmetics section. I chanced upon Nichido’s counter and I could not believe the quality of their single shadow pots! They were dupes of Revlon’s Satin and Perle Shadows! And, for 68 PHP a pop, I couldn’t let the chance pass me by. I got 3:

Nichido True Color Eyeshadow in Champagne, Snow and Gold Frost

I have one in Snow (Silver, Whitish), Champagne (Yellow) & Gold frost. They have amazing colors. I only use them for highlight as they are too shimmery, but, they do reflect light perfectly. They are quite sheer. I'm gonna post swatches as soon as I finish reviewing these. Along with the 3 shadows, I also got Jazzy Eyeshadow Pigment in Gold. I think it’s by James Cooper. Here’s a photo:

Jazzy Collection Eyeshadow Pigment in Gold

It’s relatively cheap, just 190 PHP, but it has a lot of product in the jar. It’s finely milled, but it’s too powdery! It doesn’t want to stay on my lids at all! And the color pay off is not too good for my taste. It's a tad bit too sheer, and it's not really buildable. I’m thinking of mixing this with some powder and just use it as glitter powder of sorts. I’ll update you when I get that done. I also got this finishing powder from Nichido:

 

Nichido Final Powder

 I completely love, love, love this one!! It’s really amazing! I has no color, but it keeps your face completely matte! Perfect for my oily skin! 

I’m going to review each one when I get out of here. Till then, stay pretty! 

Ja ne, pretty ladies!
