My Biggest Beauty (Makeup and Skin Care) Haul To Date | NARS, Stila, Mario Badescu, Clarins, L'Occitane, Palmer's and more |
It's the holiday season again, therefore, sales are everywhere. From the malls, bazaars and even online! Thank God for bonuses though, spending during holidays is not that painful on our wallets and bank accounts. Unfortunately for me, these sales are also my weakness.
Although, I wasn't able to resist Maybelline's 11/11 sale at Shopee, so I allowed myself to buy just two products. Yup, bought it from Shopee instead of Lazada because as per my computation. the total amount is cheaper than the latter. It's free shipping for Shopee! Yes, Maybelline products were cheaper in Lazada than in BeautyMNL and Shopee, but the last two offer free shipping. Practicality guys. LOL.
So here's me, sharing you my biggest makeup and skincare haul to date!
Makeup/Cosmetics Haul | NARS and Stila
I used to love MAC Cosmetics so much, that I buy something every payday. Especially if there's a limited edition — I'm there. But earlier this year, I decided to take a break on using too much makeup to allow my skin to breathe and be healthier. It's also a part of adopting a minimalist lifestyle. But lately, I've just been missing makeup. A lot. Which is perhaps why I've let myself buy this much. Or maybe hoarding is the appropriate word. LOL.
I especially hoarded NARS. I bought a lot of nail polishes. So much I'm not sure when I can use all of them. Then, of course, the must-haves: NARS' blush and Audacious lipsticks! I also bought a pressed powder, even though my MAC Cosmetics' Mineralize Skinfinish isn't anywhere near half yet. Then I also tried Stila. Bought the brow gel because it has a nice eyebrow duo brush.

Skin Care Haul | Mario Badescu, Clarins, L'Occitane
I've been wanting to try Mario Badescu's products ever since their facial spray started to gain popularity but I just couldn't, because I still have skin care products to use. But I just can't resist them sales, so there. I bought the collagen masks and the eye cream because I don't have those kinds of products yet for my skin. Here's to hoping they work wonders for me.
Clarins is quite expensive, but I really wanted to give it a try. This brand is known for its effective face and body creams. I've gained quite a lot of weight, as compared to my college days. I don't exercise too, so let's see if these firming creams can do something on my skin.
Grabbed these L'Occitane products just to check what the brand has to offer when it comes to skin care.
Bath and Body | Palmer's, L'Occitane, Attitude, O.P.I
Palmer's is really one of my favorite brands when it comes to hair care. In fact, I really recommend their Olive Oil Formula shampoo and conditioner if you're looking for hair care products that are safe for color-treated, keratin-treated and damaged hair. It's Paraben-free, Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) free, and more. So next product I wanted to try from Palmer's is the Cocoa Butter formula which helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
I also was curious about this Overnight Repairing Concentrate for hair by L'Occitane. You put it on your hair before you sleep and then you wake up with soft and healthier looking hair. SOLD.
I also got a few O.P.I nail polish, particularly the Infinite Shine Step 1 and 2. With all those NARS nail polish that I hoarded, I'm definitely needing these. 😅
