M.A.C, Sephora and Zara GETs

I did some shopping that I definitely shouldn't have  but if you think on the gal side of logic, then I definitely should!

Last Friday I went to the mall with Larie and Sulli (her 2yo baby girl) after my shift 

Oh to be the kid of a gal mama and trying on furry animal print coats in the middle of a Zara store 

I didn't do a huge haul because I'm short on money now (specially after the last unplanned haul lol) but I got some really nice stuff! 

 M.A.C 

Watching her Instagram stories and talking to Darla, I found out that M.A.C brought "Fleshpot" back for their 40th anniversary!  I remember seeing this lipstick in some magazines and then going to their website, only to find it was discontinued long ago  So I decided to do something a lil bit crazy and grab it 

I'm gonna be very honest, this is THE shade for gal makeup.  The special package is super cute too! 

I have "Myth" as well, but I liked "Fleshpot" a lot better! It's more neutral than "Myth" and I thought it suits me better.

The only downside is that, just as any Satin lipstick, it creases a little.

I tried on "Bubbles" too, it's a translucent, pearly white Frost lipstick. It's beautiful but a bit too ganguro for a shiro gal like me ww

 Sephora 

It was my first time shopping at one of their physical stores 

I wasn't really going to buy anything but they had the entire store with 10% off for Beauty Club members because of their anniversary, and well, I am one myself  So I got one of the Sephora Collection single eyeshadows. 

I've been wanting to try these eyeshadows for ages because they look so pretty and I was impressed with how sparkly and soft they are. It was hard to pick a shade, but I brought home "Fantasia"!  I'm going to wear it on my daily makeup now.

It's an insanely beautiful, rose gold shimmering eyeshadow with a bit of metallic to it.  I don't know how but it's also reflective. 

 One curious thing about it, it's that it got a removable pan. I believe this was developed with makeup artists in mind so they can build their own palette.

So worth it and now I want more eyeshadows!!! 

 Zara 

It was my first time getting anything from Zara... Ever. They're quite pricey here (to the point that some people believe it's a high end brand), and I'm not a fan of their minimalism (and questionable work ethics) 

But when Larie showed me these large satin scrunchies with ballet motif and 50% off... I just had to get it. 

That lil embroidery is soooo cuuuuuuute 

My hair is over 1 meter now so these huge ass scrunchies are useful

Now this wasn't a get from the mall, it was more of an emergency get wwwww

We left the mall by almost midnight and it was far from my house, but close to Larie's, so I stayed overnight at her place and went to work in the morning. The thing is, it was hot on Friday and I was wearing a crop top, but Saturday was somewhat colder and I wasn't aware that it would be. 

So when I got to the office I ordered a cheap faux sheepskin bolero coat I found in an app and they delivered at the office, just so I wouldn't die of hypothermia wwwwww

It's quite cute! 

For the next week I'm gonna write a post comparing "Myth" and "Fleshpot", plus some information on popular gal lipsticks! 

Now I'm gonna take a rest!

Hey everyone!!! Today was a nice day 

I wore lashes today 

Just kidding!

It was my coworker's birthday so we had cake at the office!

My other coworker and I got her this cake, and later on our manager got her another one!  DOUBLE CAKE! 

I swear, I think I've never had so many cake before! I'm still full 

On my way back home, I suddenly felt a strange urge to shop for something.  This is odd because I don't usually want to go on a haul right after spending on a birthday cake and before I get my paycheck, and I was super tired too. I wasn't feeling stressed either, so I didn't know where that urge came from. 

I entered a few stores and didn't see anything I'd actually wanted to buy... Then I passed by a perfume shop and saw this:

I don't know what your believes are, but I have a small altar for mermaids in my room and looked at it for a few seconds before leaving home. There was a ray of sunlight beautifully placed over it.

This is not THE Anna Sui Fantasia Mermaid perfume, but a much, much cheaper dupe (about USD $6.38). And it smells like the ocean!  I've been looking for a perfume like that for ages!

When I got to the cashier, I realized there was an insane discount on some makeup from a specific brand. A baked eyeshadow duo was 90% OFF  Did I need it? Nah, but did I miss it? DEFINITELY NOT. 

I realized they had a bronzer too (it was 80% OFF) and I remembered that Nana-chan ran out of her bronzer a while ago. The thing is, she got a new one, but I felt the urge to buy her one anyways.  I got one for myself too, as I don't want to wear my extremely expensive Hoola bronzer everyday, because I definitely can't afford another one in this economy 

Turns out that Nana-chan broke her new bronzer a few days ago and I didn't even know that!  

Apparently, my Pisces sun and Scorpio moon decided to work together today  My intuition has never been better! Wwwwwwwww

There are so many birthdays coming up this month... Larie's will be on the 28th and I'll attend to a birthday slumber party on the 20th! Please give my wallet a break y'all, gifting is my love language but that doesn't mean I'm rich 

Gotta go, it's bed time!

💓

 Wearing one of my new shirts today, I'm feeling so cute

I wish I had put on lashes today but I woke up late and forgot them at home 

And as much as I love this filter... It makes my lipgloss always look way darker than it actually is  it's actually a baby pink gloss!
