Not that I' m complaining. I LOVE going to Quiapo. But it was Friday- a big Church day- so traffic and the crowds were somewhat nightmarish for me.
Why do I love going to Quiapo?
Because I feel rich even when I'm almost broke when I'm there. Ha-ha! I like cutesy bits and pieces, or as we call it, "anik-anik."
The stuff:
Hello Kitty tumbler with straw:
I promised myself I'd drink more water. I don't drink nearly enough water at the office, and I noticed I drink more water when I'm sipping through a straw.
Cyleina Black Pearl Organic Soap:
I heard good things about this over at GT and wanted to try it, but didn't want to spring for shipping because it costs more than 1 bar of this soap.
Generic Brushes:
The ones in packs look like they're HQ. I have some doubts about that big pink one, but it's pink and cute, so I'm sold.Baxi blushes. I was really happy with the eyeshadow, and I used the cheek tint before, so I wanted to try the blushes. The colors are so cute.
Bichun Nail Polish:
I like their packaging. The one in the middle is a really bright hot pink IRL, plus the cap/brush has some plastic balls inside. The one on the left matches the peach Baxi blush, and the one on the right reminds me of Tiffany & Co. Eye luv. Ha-ha!
In other news, I can't believe I went to Wellmanson's and did not buy any craft supplies at all! First time that ever happened. I guess it's just not a craft-inspired period for me. The pink brush came from there, though. I just didn't want to walk away completely empty-handed, LOL!
BTW, this is the first day of my three-day weekend. I don't have any special plans, because the weather's been lousy. It's too hot but it's been raining hard these past few days. I'm looking forward to watching a load of DVD's, but first I have to go to the supermarket to buy junk food. Yay!
Have a nice weekend!
The blushes looks pretty! And the nail polish too. :) The brushes look enice but I also have some doubts on the pink cute brush. :) Nice haul.
ReplyDeleteI love what u got , all the colors look so lovely, maybe u could do a review on the Cyleina Black Pearl Organic Soap coz it looks so interesting, nice haul*
ReplyDeletecute haul! the blushes and nail polishes look pretty
ReplyDelete@ Pammy: yeah, the pink brush is for display on my dresser only. Ha-ha. It's pretty but basically useless. ^^
ReplyDelete@ Zoe: that's a good suggestion, maybe when I finish a bar. ^^
@ amynaree: thank you. i like them, too!
I love all your purchase. They're all cute! I hope I can go back to Quiapo again. All my trips to Quiapo are memorable because of their cheap stuff!

ReplyDelete@ Golden: Quiapo is awesome. I am always amazed at the culture there. I probably won't last a whole day there as a native, though. Ha-ha. Im just a touristy-type.

Hi hun, I love your cute haul especially the Hello Kitty tumbler with straw! I am pretty bad about drinking enough water too. :(

ReplyDeletehehe, i love going to placed like these - basically you can lose yourself in a wasteland and buy a lot of cute things you don't really need but now that you've seen it you really want... :)

ReplyDeleteThere are some health risk warnings about Bichun nail polishes on the net - some of them have too much lead.
