Back to School Shopping

So I went for a meetup for a sales meetup at SM City North EDSA today and ended up having lunch at Bubble Tea: Tokyo Milk Tea Place. Really good food :P I ended up ordering some teriyaki unagi (unagi is my favorite), but I was too hungry to remember to take a picture of it before actually digging in. Ohwell.

Because SM North isn't really my place, and more often than not I find it really crowded, even in the vicinity of The Block, we ended up at Eastwood Mall (I know, wtf drive from SM North to Eastwood, but owell). When we got there they were gearing up for a huge SALE. Well obviously, we have the worst timing because we ended up going there a week before the actual sale which is scheduled for June 15-17. Haha, so what else could I do but to camwhore by the huge advert blocks they set up for marketing it?

I should be getting paid for this ahaha.

We ended up walking around the mall for a bit before settling on watching a movie to pass the time. The movie? Surprisingly, we went to see Snow White and the Huntsman. I'm doing a review on that later because the movie was just a bit too hilarious to pass up, although I'm sure that wasn't their intention.

So while I didn't actually have the liberty to go all out buying things, I did stumble upon a few finds that were worth a look. I bought some cute Hello Kitty notebooks for my classes with the help of a friend and his awesome National Bookstore gift cards ahaha. They were so cute @_@ (the notebooks not the gift cards ahaha) but were pretty expensive at the same time. Bah, screw it. I've had a recent obsession over Hello Kitty for some reason.

Bah, they're adorable. You know what's better? They're double-covered. Meaning they're actually two notebooks in one. 120 leaves per section.

In the spirit of my newly rekindled obsession I found some cute Hello Kitty glasses (the ones I've been scouring the web for) at a reasonable price and ended up buying them over at Peanutbutter&Jeri at Eastwood City walk. They have grooves in them for lenses, so I plan on having my actual graded lenses placed in them by my optometrist on my next visit :P

It's Hello Kitty madness.

I also got me a pair of earrings but I forgot to take a picture of those. Or did I? Haha.

In adittion to those  I bought a new batch of my favorite BB Cream, from TheFACEshop. I've been using the stuff (just the 20mL bottle) for a year and a half. It's lasted me that long because it's just so easy to blend and a little goes a long way. Plus it's super duper lightweight, at the cost of coverage, but I don't need coverage anyway. #naturallybeautifulskin I can honestly say it's helped my complexion loads. I actually just got a new bottle (the 40mL one this time) because my bottle exploded on me in my check-in luggage during my trip to HK. :(

While I was at it, I went and tried out a new concealer from Etude House, their Surprise Essence Concealer. I was suprised because it actually matched my skin tone. Korean products rarely match my skin tone since I'm not exactly the fairest person out there. I got it because it was cheap and my go-to concealer is running out. Coincidentally, the featured video on the Etude House website is a video on how to look good wearing glasses and the girl on the video is wearing the exact same glasses I bought earlier ahaha.

Personally, I think I rock glasses. I've been wearing them for a pretty long time now and I think I can pull them off quite well ;)

 

Ahaha I'm such a camwhore :P But the lighting was good. How could I resist? Ignore the fugly curtains.

I still have to somehow gather the courage to take vain pics/selcas out in public like other bloggers have at some point or another, so for now you're going to have to deal with the ugly setting that is my room which has not been redesigned since I was in elementary. x_x

Oh yeah! Remember when I said I forgot to take a picture of the earrings? Well here they are. Haha. I'm only wearing one of them on my left ear lol. I am such a rebel.

 

I think my profile looks pretty, no? 

The pictures make it look like I'm wearing some kind of bubblegum pink lipstick or something, but surprisingly that's my natural lip color in the bright lighting. I didn't edit or anything. I think my desk lamp makes me a lot prettier than I actually am ahahaha. I especially like that in the second pic, my eyelashes look pretty long ahaha. Lighting does wonders. :P

Well that's it. I think this post has turned into more of a vanity post than a back to school haul. Haha. I'm sorry for that.

I'll be posting my review on Snow White and the Huntsman in a while. I know it's late, but I assure you it'll be worth the read considering my unique take on the movie. Watch out for it :P

Signing out!
