 Being a lipstick addict with ZERO budget, (being a stay-at-home wife for the past year wiped out my ability to buy hoard beauty stuffs) seeing the price tag made me jump out for joy! They only sell for Php 225 ($5)! Unfortunately, Colourpop is not available commercialy here in the Philippines so I need to hunt for Instagram entrepreneurs who sell them. The price ranges from Php 250-Php 300, which is not that bad. 

Remembering that I have subscribed to a forwarding company that ships straight from the US to the Philippines, I immediately went on the Colourpop's website. Upon loading, I immediately went ape sh*t and added all the shades that I think will look damn fine on me. After doing so, I clicked the checkout button and stared at the total price: $60 (Php 2,700). 

HELL, NO! My frugal side slapped the hell out of me! So I said to myself, "Remove some most of the items here. Leave the shades that you can use the most." 

So I ended up with these babies:

Ultra Matte Lipstick

Midi

Solow

Lippie Stix

Frida

Lumiere

• light nude beige with a slight tinge of pink in super MATTE finish
• personally, it's too light for my skin tone but I still like it 'cause I can pair it with a dramatic eye ;)
• glides on smoothly but be prepared to clean the edges a bit (unless you're a liquid lipstick application guru)
• dries fast and stays there for a long time (no need to reapply over and over the whole day)
• BEWARE: if you're a gal who has dry lips, i recommend you do exfoliate (once or twice a week) first and apply a mosturizing lip balm before slabbing this on.
• VERDICT: 3.9/5 

• a shade CP collabed with +KathleenLights 
• mauve-y pink shade in MATTE finish
• perfect for us Filipinas 'cause it has a warm undertone so it's my go-to MLBB shade lately
• glides on smoothly and it smells sweet
• don't last long so I recommend to use it's corresponding lip liner
• VERDICT: 4.5/5

Whaattttt?! Buy 1 Get 1 Alert!

Calling all candle-hoarding gals out there! Bath & Body Works US is offering BOGO (Buy One Get One) for their 3-wick candles. Can I get a woot woot!

Last night, I've watched my fave YouTubers:

Jaclyn Hill and KathleenLights

and saw their Fall Favorites Tag video and guess what? They featured their fave candles and both of 'em love the BBW 3-wick candles.

Honestly, I've never owned BBW scented candles but would looove to have one all of 'em. Living in the Philippines, this made me go C-R-A-Z-Y 'cause there's no BBW here! The only way I can get hold of these babies is to order them from the U.S. which is kinda costly due to the shipping charges. We do have some online sellers who offer them but the choice is super limited and almost always, the ones that I would love to have are already sold out.

These 3-wick candles cost Php1,000+ ($22.50). Heck! They're so expensive considering they're just candles. Availing their BOGO promo, the candles will just cost Php 500+ ($11.25) each. Considering that some of the online sellers here offer them for Php 900 ($20), this is quite a steal!

Here's an additional PROMO CODE you can use to slash 25% off the price: EXTRA25

So, for those of you who have no budget limits *wink*, go ahead and purchase these babies and feel free to share your hoarding stories here.
