Haul: No Caronia This Time

REPOST

Hey y'all! Here are the stuff I got recently. These are mostly stuff for the nails but for a change, I didn't pick up Caronia bottles. Tryin' out some new polish brands :)


Went to SM North last weekend with my friend and got the following. 

How cute are these bottles? ;P
Items:
Fashion 21 Dipliner - P 115.00
Cherry Nail Polish in Moonlight Glaze and Carolina Peach - P 15.75 per bottle
Caress Nail Polish in Attraction - P 23.75

I was looking for a good liquid eyeliner that is newbie-friendly. I've heard good things about Fashion 21's liner so I decided to try this one out. I was actually choosing between this and the Nichido one but I didn't quite like the brush of the latter. I also saw these Cherry polishes and fell in love with the packaging immediately. They're also really inexpensive at ~16 Php per bottle. It was my first time to see this brand but they looked decent so I grabbed two shades. I also got myself a Caress polish (after 10 years ;P).

Then my friend bought me another nail polish from TFS. He picked the shade himself. Well, I let him choose from the several shades I swatched, at least. Thanks, Cream Puff :)



Then we stopped by Etude House. I was hoping that they're already carrying the Sweet Style Hairspray. Unfortunately, the hairspray's still only available at the SM Megamall branch. I also looked around and swatched the Miss Tangerine products.


Then I swatched the matte nail polishes on my friend's nail and they left a sort of grape scent. Are the EH matte polishes really scented? I know for sure that it's not the nail polish remover because I've tried both variants already and they smell nothing like grapes. ANYWAY...

These next items weren't from SM North. I bought these from the mini-mall near my place.


Items:
Allue Lip Conditioner in Orange Fizz- P 49.75
Sebo de Macho
Bichun Pink Glitter Nail Polish - P 27.00
Angled Brush - P 17.00

I have just started exploring HBC products. I found the Allue lip conditioner so cute and girly, and since I was looking for a clear lip balm/conditioner, I decided to try it. Don't get me wrong, I love my Lip Ice Color Changeable lip conditioner but sometimes I just want something that's not tinted. I also bought Sebo de Macho for my big angry scar. (I might make a post on it sometime to gross y'all out. JK!) I got the pink glitter polish and the brush from a general merchandise store (Hypersave). They sell lots of really cheap makeup items there, too. Cheap as in 20-80-Php items, but I don't plan on buying any MU items from there. Nail polish, yeah sure. Makeup? I'll pass. :)


Bichun nail enamel is one of the "expensive" nail polishes they carry. They also have those 12-peso polishes that have really nice shades but they smell like real paint :/. This one doesn't stink as badly as those polishes and the plastic cap with the little beads inside is cute, too. :)

Anyway, that's it for my collective haul (plus a free item). Have you tried any of the items mentioned - Fashion 21 liner, Cherry polishes, Allue products? Lemme know what you think of them! :D

    @The Beauty Addict, thanks Ann :)

    @Chie, will post the lipstick review next week :) Also, the brush is not like those thin nail art brushes. The brush is just like the ordinary polish brushes :)

    @Sarah, thanks for that suggestion! :D I'll review the liner :)

    i tried the cherry nail polish. But i really don't like it. I love the bottle and the handle. Magandang gamitin. Or maybe di lang maganda ung color na kinuha ko. I grab a violet or purple shade but when i apply it, the color turns out to be a blue one. I don't know why. But of course caress and face shop is well proven.

    That Bichun nail polish caught my attention. I was about to use that brand until I read an article on the internet that it's a dangerous brand of nail polish. I must agree because it is made in China. The article is here http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/2007/10/03/125074/Majority-of.htm. So, I never used the 3 bottles of Bichun I bought after reading that article. Just sharing..
