For my first post, here’s a little something to showcase my first haul for my newest fascination.
So what got into me to suddenly hoard these sticks and tubes and pots? (No) thanks to GirlTalk, a local online community. I was a lurker for months until the temptation was too powerful to resist. I particularly followed the forum on Inexpensive Yet Very Effective Products, listed a few items and came up with about 10 products that I wish to try. Why not, these products cost from 25 to 90 pesos. So I ate lunch, thought it over, and texted a friend who loved these stuff. The next thing I knew, I am meeting her up in an hour.
It was a bad move. With only 1000 pesos allotted for my loot, we combed racks and racks of products. With the knowledge that she has, we did not leave one rack or store without a product in hand.
Products that I bought:
Store 1: Saizen

The trip ended there. I had coffee, went home, stashed my haul in the cabinet without opening it, just to punish myself (a bit) for overspending. But the shopping was not over. I went to the gym and saw another store. I swear, I just wanted to look. It did not happen. See below:
Store 5: HBC

It was my first time hoarding cosmetics that way. If people say "More money, more problems". I say: "More makeup, more problems"
