The Nicole Files

I know you guys probably think that I’m becoming unreasonable with my makeup purchases, but I can’t help it! Nothing excites me more than adding more and more products to my collection.

I got a call from mom last week telling me that one of her good friends is coming here. Of course, being the makeup junkie that I am, I immediately asked her to get me some stuff I’ve been wanting to buy but can’t since they’re not locally available. And just yesterday, I finally got the package! Here are the stuff I got:

Maybelline Volum Express Mega Plush Mascara & Maybelline Volum Express One by One Mascara: I’ve been hearing really good reviews about these two and I can’t wait to try them! I love the packaging! Turquoise and coral are my favorite colors! 

Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in Bad to the Bronze

I originally asked my mom to get me one of the newly released colors of the Color Tattoo Eyeshadow Fall Collection 2012 which is Barely Beige. She told me it was out of stock so she got me this instead. Unfortunately, I already have this in my stash so I’m selling it! If you want it, please leave a message in my ask box! :-)

Revlon Colorstay foundation, Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream & Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse! I initially asked for a Dream Matte Powder instead of Mousse but mom got confused and got me the mousse! Haha! It’s alright though, I like its formulation :-) I have yet to try the Colorstay foundation and the Dream Fresh BB Cream.

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm in Twilight & Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey. I looooveeee the kissable balm stain! It’s almost the exact color of my lips so it’s another MLBB shade for me!

Neutrogena Makeup Remover cleansing towelettes - my all time favorite makeup remover! Too bad we don’t have it in local drugstores

Spoiled nail polish in Tattle Tell, Thanks a Latte and Pearly White Teeth

Revlon nail polish in Sheer Pink, Sheer Blossom Sheer Rose - Belle (@iamisabelle) got us these when she went to Singapore! Thanks, love! x

And that’s about it! If you want me to review a product, don’t hesitate to ask me to do so. I’d be more than glad to do it! :-)

See August Beauty Haul Part 2 HERE.

1. who won on your give away constest?

Prelel Yu :)

2. Hello!! Where do you buy your nyx lippies? :)

Hi! I buy them at my own online shop!

3. Matibay ba shoes sa shoeroom? Planning to buy one for school kasi thaaaanks for helping!!

Yes! But I already disposed mine due to excessive use. It did last almost a year though. I’m actually planning on purchasing another pair soon! :)

4. What are you going to do to the subtitle of your blog next year? Cause you won’t be a teenager anymore, right? Hehehe.

I haven’t actually given that much thought! I don’t want to turn 20 yet :( 

5. Hi. What’s the website where you buy your gadgets nga? Thank you. :)

I Have A Herring Problem from OPI’s Holland Collection :-)

I’m not really a fan of mirror shots using big ass cameras, but I had no one to take my picture last night (*cries*) so I had to resort to this. Here is what I wore yesterday to a date night with Ice <3

Excuse my messy room. I didn’t have the time to clean!

The dress is plain black filled with hipster triangles, I love it! <3 I like keeping my outfits simple so I paired it with classic black flats.

1. You and your sisters are so pretty! But I haven’t seen Nadine in you posts, where is she?? :(( chos

Aww, thank you! x Nadine is in the States now because our mom decided to  have her continue her schooling there. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we see each other this Christmas! I miss her so much already!

2. Hey Ate Nicole. I just need a little help. Cause I bought Concert Tickets online for the Maroon 5 concert and I’ve the Attachment already, is it normal that the e tickets look plain white? Please enlighten me. How does this work? How do I use them? I’m new to this stuff and since I guess you have an idea about this I asked you. Thanks a lot. :)

Well I haven’t tried purchasing concert tickets online yet. But I’m guessing that e-tickets are really supposed to look plain white and you just have to show a certain code that is embedded on the ticket to the guards so you can enter the concert venue. I hope that helped! :)

Oh, and I’m watching Maroon 5 too. See you there!

3. Hi! :) Can you do a thorough make-up collection post? I’d love to see your make-up stash! Please? Thanks! :)

I will when I have the time! :)

4. is the dream bouncy blush from maybelline worth it? does it last long? do u think one of the shades available will suit a morena skin? thanks!

Hi! I love my Dream Bouncy blushes! They do last long, maybe 6 hours or so. And yes, I think one of the shades will suit you. Maybelline came out with colors that will suit a variety of skin tones. :)

5. hi, ate nicole! can i buy just the films on your shop? as in no instax camera? thanks!

Yeah, sure! Just send us an order form if you’re ready to buy!

I’ve been meaning to wear this plain black dress for quite some time now, and I chose yesterday to be the day to finally wear it. Unfortunately, I had no idea that it was going to be extremely windy outside and sporting a dress would be such a hassle! I didn’t want my outfit to be sayang, hence the outfit post!

I decided to match the dress with a light brown bag and leopard print flats.

I love how simple this is! Can’t wait to wear it again soon!

We didn’t get to take decent shots cause my camera was acting up. Most of the pictures came out super blurry even with the settings fixed! Here’s the only other picture that is tolerable. So what do you think? :)

1. Botanical Choice Nose Pore Strips - I’ve tried Botanical Choice nose strips before, but this one’s different because the strips contain aloe extract. I just hope it makes the stripping more bearable :p

2. Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Trio in Walking on Eggshells - Beauty gurus have been raving about Color Icon eyeshadow trios since forever. Walking on Eggshells consists of three neutral but gorgeous colors. I can’t wait to give it a try!

3. EOS Lip Balm in Strawberry Sorbet - You can never go wrong with EOS lip balms! I’ve tried the summer fruit flavor before, but I lost it so I got another one in a different flavor. I find myself reaching for this often!

4. Milani Powder Brush in Luminous - I love love love this blush! It’s a rosy peach color with a little bit of shimmer. It’s perfect for everyday wear. Many have been saying that this is a great dupe for NARS Orgasm (which, by the way, is still in my wish list). 

5. NYX Round Case Lipstick in Tea Rose - The moment I tried this, it instantly became one of my favorites! It’s My Lips But Better shade :-)

6. Epilin wax - This is pretty self explanatory, lol. I wanted to try waxing by myself for the first time that’s why I purchased this. Wish me luck!

7. Glam Works wax paper - 12 sheets for 24 pesos. This is such a steal!

I love love everything in this haul! Although all of these cost a little over a thousand bucks, products were definitely worth every penny.

P.S. I’m sorry for not updating my blog lately. I’ve been extremely busy with school because of thesis.. But don’t you worry, I’m back! :-)
