Late Collective August Haul

I know it is a very late haul for August hehe, It’s because I have been contemplating whether I should post it or not , it’s only now that I decide to post it when most of them were already gone :D

I did it in August because it’s a birthday gift to myself , I actually gave some of them to my cousins this Christmas.

Scented candle , a calendar planner i guess hehe, episode diary ,  etc...

I bought the Olay for me to test it and yes I like it, It’s not sticky. It’s what I put on my

 purse for touch ups because i have dry patches on my skin.

It’s my first time using the Nivea Visage, FX eye cream / tinded moisturizer , 

Maybelline BB stick .... OMG i just realized all of them , the only repurchase I made in this picture is the Blest tissue and the Avon Super Shock Mascara . I turned myself into a

 human tester haha.

Lipsticks 

Swatches

Ever bilena (Scarlet) FS (Poppy pepper) Avon (coral gables )

I’m a sucker for a nice , good smelling room so this is what I got, the three of them were purchased at Handyman and the Green Apple candle was @ SM which i didn't really like.

Wipes and a tissue , My favorite is the unscented Baby First wipes , it’s thick and it does not dry easily aside from the affordable price . It stays in my room , the small pink one stays in my purse which i use for emergency only. I didn’t mean to buy the pink wipes I just needed it that time so I bought it and it turns out, the quality is good. 

 The blue flats from Mario D’ Boro , I got 10 % discount

Plus....Again, I wanted to try the Colgate Optic white :D

And ....

The cotton pads is on buy 1 take 1 promo that’s why I bought it. On a daily basis I

 would buy just the regular cotton roll , it works the same.  Yeah I love collecting cute notebooks tehee :)

That completes the haul :D

Normi2s Beach Front Resort Location: San Juan, La Union,Philippines

We knew exactly what we wanted , a place with a pool and a beach so we end up @ Normi2s

 Beach Front Resort .

Whenever I travel I always make a point that i should enjoy the travel no matter what the place

 looks likes.

I always get excited by just thinking about the sea that i forgot to take a picture on the reception

 area ;D

But this is the sea , yep, the water is far from the cottages . I’m not really sure but one friend said

 that it looks like it’s in Dubai in this picture but i say it looks like one of the beaches in Libya

 whatcha think? haha

my favorite book

I have been hunting for a book that would  inspire me to be a better 

person , uplift my spirit, and most of all a book that will not bore me 

easily and yes! I found the perfect book for me and this is it!!!

At first I was hesitant on buying the book because I cannot see the content

 and it’s kinda expensive for a little book (P295 @ National Book Store)  but then again the price is nothing compared to what you get out of it.  

Few excepts from the book :

sweet tooth indulgence, cakes!

Tea House!

old Tea House with Friends 

Newly Renovated Tea House

they have one of the best cakes and pastries in town! 

Location

it doesn't look that good but the taste, ughh! so good!

Liang Mei Nail Polish Remover

It’s my new discovery this week!  I bought it for Php 15, I went to the other side of the street and found other store sell it for Php 35 maybe some stores sell it for Php 10 :D 

I love doing nail art 

It looks like a baby wipe , fruit scented and  around 40 sheets .

It's made of raw crude and plant material, it's oil base that it doesn't dry easily

Perfect for travel, you don’t have to carry it in a bottle.  Mess free

Etude House Oh-m’ Eye Lash

I purchased this base coat from Etude house because it claims to:

1. Protect the lashes

2. Makes the lashes looks longer

This is what it looks like:

excuse my skin it's bare :D

This is my lashes without anything on it:

With 2-3 coats of Oh-m’ Eye Lash :

Topped with mascara:

Mascara without the base coat:

This is my second time purchasing this because I lost the other one. It costs Php 199 ($4 USD). There are other mascara that is buildable to achieve this look of lashes without the base coat I just got it for added protection and for my lashes to look longer and thicker.

Travel Destination: Coron, Palawan, Philippines

Throwback :Travel Destination: Coron, Palawan, Philippines Sept 2011

Yes, i am a tourist to my own Country :).I have been hearing beautiful comments  about this place from one of our Peace Corp Volunteer from US , not exactly in Coron but Palawan.

 I was in grade school then so i was like, okey! .

   What can we see in Palawan? Beaches! Beautiful white sand beaches. I live in a Mountainous area so beach is something that always amazes me. It’s not like i’ve never been to the beach , our place is 

two hours drive to the beach and it’s always our destination during New Year but the beaches in 

Palawan is the best i’ve ever been so far but if you are in a budget ,doesn’t have the luxury of time 

and near Baguio City, you can also go to Ilocos which is like 4 hours drive ,  they do  have beautiful white sand beaches.

"The aquatic views of a dozen sunken Japanese warships at depths between 10 and 40 metres (33 and 130 ft) off Coron Island are making Coron and its neighboring municipalities a popular diving destination,^[3] listed in Forbes Traveler Magazine’s top 10 bestscuba diving sites in the world."

- from  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coron,_Palawan

There are lots of videos on Youtube if you want to see videos about Palawan.
It’s nice to experience it though, so these are some of my pictures:

I can't wait for the plane to hit the ground!

Edible Seaweed 

Twin lake lagoon

It was called  twin lake lagoon because there is another lake on the other side of this lagoon, it's kinda hidden. We have two options to reach the other lake, either you climb the rocks or you submerge into the water passing through the rocks. I don't know how to swim so I climbed the rocks hehe
