Hey Pretty Ladies! How's it going?
I know I promised to do a four-part review on my Wonder Pore Line, but I kinda lost the pics I took and I have to retake them. And I'm kinda busy at the moment, but I'll post everything soon, promise!
Anyway, I was just strolling in the mall with my kids the other day. I really had no plans to buy anything, well, I just wanted to buy an Etude House cream illuminizer. The local mall's Etude House sales lady said they didn't have it, and she was sooooo rude! I got so pissed off that I ended not buying anything from them. LOL.
I instead diverted my attention to Skinfood. Luckily for me, they were on sale that day. WEEEEE! I ended up buying a few stuff, and a few more stuff from the local makeup department.
Here they are:
Skinfood Haul
 |
| SkinFood Haul! |
 |
| L-R: Salmon Eye Patch, Fresh Apple No Sebum Spot Serum, Gold Caviar Collagen Ampoule |
As I mentioned, I focused my attention to Skinfood. Their kinda an expensive brand here. You can't see full sized serums or tones at less than 1000 PHP. So I was sooooo happy they were on 50 and 80 % sale on selected items. I got 3 items in total, but I can use them for a long time. The first item I got is Skinfood Gold Caviar Collagen Ampoule.
 |
| On sale! |
According to the sales lady, this is good for tired and lined skin. Collagen is good for maintaining flexibility and smoothness. I honestly don't know what the rest of the ingredients are for, but I think they would be good. ^^
With the pack, you'll get a total of 14 ampoules, 7 for day use and 7 for night.
 |
| 7 vials each for night and day use. |
Each ampoule can be used up to 3 times. You need to apply them before you use your toner, once in the morning, and once at night. I still don't have any thoughts on this; I used it twice, and I haven't seen any changes yet.
 |
| Each ampoule is good for 3 uses, but I think I can extend each for 5 uses, LOL. |
The night ampoule has a creamy-oily consistency, while the morning has an alcohol-y kind of feel. You have to shake both vigorously to make sure everything is mixed, kinda like an emulsion.
I got this at 80% off, it was down to 870 PHP from 4350 PHP. weee!
Next up is the Skinfood Salmon Eye Patch. And I am in love with this.
 |
| I love this. This is soo cool to the eyes. |
I was actually looking for the double eye cream in the Gold Caviar line, but it wasn't on sale (boo-hoo). So Ms. Sales Lady recommended getting the eye patch instead since it was on sale.
It has salmon roe extracts from Salmon caught in Hokkaido. It contains Omega-3 that helps brighten the dark circles in your eyes.
 |
| I love how they have directions in English! |
 |
| 8 packs in all. |
 |
| The single pack. |
 |
| Can you see this clearly? |
The product comes in a sachet. When you open it, you would really notice how wet the pack is. It even drips!
 |
| It kinds looks weird, doesn't it? |
Anyway, the product is in the shape of a roe. It doesn't have any funky smell and is incredibly wet! So what you do is you apply the roe thing below your eyes and it will stick! Leave it on for 10 mins and massage the area to really keep the moisture in.
 |
| Weee! Me! |
The product feels sooo cool on your skin. I swear. I kinda flipped it over after the 1st 10 mins because it was still wet and I wanted to make the most out of it (its expensive!).
 |
| I used it wrongly I think? hahaha.. |
I got the pack of 8 for 430 from 2150. ^^
The last thing I got, which wasn't on sale, is the Fresh Apple No Sebum Spot Serum. What it does is that it instantly mattifies the oily spots on your skin.
 |
| My favorite! |
The consistency is very runny, and leaves a cool feeling on your skin, much like alcohol.
 |
| Its consistency is really runny. |
I haven't really tested it, but I'll let you know once I have. I got this for 300 something .
Local Make Up Brands
After almost emptying my pockets at Skinfood, we hit the local brands department. I was inspired by saytiocoatillero's post about local brand make up and it rekindled my love for it. So I got these:
 |
| On Sale: IN2IT Lash Xtra Mascara with their Waterproof Retractable Eyeliner |
I've always kicked myself for not buying any mascara for 2 years. I mean, I always tell myself to buy one, and I always forget! Anywho, I've decided to buy myself one, and I really though of buying Fashion 21's Double Up mascara, but they weren't in stock! I decided then to buy FS lengthening one in blue. However, the SALE board caught my eye, and I ended up buying the Mascara/Liner item. Its worth it.!
 |
| My mascara and eyeliner |
I also got the brow liner from IN2IT. I'm just annoyed that I didn't notice that it was black!!
 |
| IN2IT Eyebrow Liner |
 |
| I didnt read the label, I got it in BLACK!! |
I love IN2IT though, I think its a really great brand that keeps getting overlooked. Prices are really affordable and the item quality is amazing! Take for example my
Waterproof Eyebrow Colour. It lasted me 2 years, and I just got my 2nd pan a week ago.
I also got new shoesies for myself. This is really cheap! For 180 PHP a pair, I should have gotten 2!
 |
| New dolly doll shoes from G |
Eyelash curler. I need one badly. The one I have now is sooo broken. So, I took to FS to buy my new one and I am loving it! It even curls the shortest ones. Weee!

NICHIDO is one of my favorite local brands. They often have a lot of gems that you would miss if you don't look. I've been badly needing eye pencils for a while now and tried NICHIDO's since a lot of people have raved about the quality of their pencils. I currently have their eye pencil in Diamond. It really does a great job in making my eyes look wide open, plus, it doesn't tug!
 |
| NICHIDO Eye Pencil in Brown and Mineral Kohl Pencil in Onyx. Sigh. Love! |
I got the Eye Pencil in Brown and the Mineral Kohl in Onyx. Their amazing! The color pay off is wonderful and they don't tug either! I got each for less than 150 PHP.
I also got their translucent finishing powder in So Natural. I really like this as it doesn't alter the color of my foundie and doesn't cake. This is my 2nd pot. Weee! This is for 150 PHP.
 |
| NICHIDO Final Powder in So Natural |
Lastly, I got FS's Extra Length X Volume Mascara! I haven't tried it yet, but I am hoping it does what it promises! This one's kinda expensive. I don't remember exactly how much, but I think around 200 - 300 PHP.

And that is it! Till next time!
Ja ne!
