Baking Supplies Haul!

Hi guys! I'm not liking the weather today, it's quite hot! No more cold, rainy days. :( Anyway, we went to the mall to do some grocery shopping and passed by Gourdo's. So I got myself these:

Dessert Design (P100) Piping Bags (P240)

Nothing spectacular. Just a pack of piping bags and some edible design for cakes. After doing some errands, I dragged my mom to this warehouse full of baking and cooking supplies that my classmates and I used to go to. I squealed when I saw this:


It's the 24-piece piping tip set! :) I used to lust over Wilton's version of this but I find it a bit pricey at P2,000 for a 16-piece set. I saw a set like this in BF Paranaque which costs P1,300. I used to think that it's already cheap until I found this baby. Oh, did I tell you that this set costs P500 only? B-A-R-G-A-I-N! Haha! I'm so happy, I can't wait to use this to frost and decorate my cakes and cupcakes! I also got a spatula and some bowls, btw.

Well, that's it for my mini baking supplies haul! I'll see you guys in my next post! :)

Super Mini Haul + Review!

Brrr. It's so cold today. I spent the whole day lying in my bed until I got hungry. So I decided to bake. I wanted to make Chocolate Crinkles but ended up baking Chocolate Brownies since it's easier to make. (See, the weather's making me lazy!). Here's my final product:

It's so yummy, I'm gonna die! LOL

ANYWAY, around 5pm we went to SM to buy stuff for my room (I'm having it renovated, btw) and of course I passed by the beauty section and got me these:

Elf Studio Powder Brush (P249.75) In2it Waterproof Blush (P379.75)
I was so excited when I saw that the powder brush is sold locally already! But the real star of this post is the In2it Waterproof Blush. I saw it in projectvanity.com this morning and since I'm looking for a new blush, I knew I have to give this baby a try.

Cute packaging!

I got the color Romance.
And of course, hand swatches...


The first three are the individual swatches. As you can see, the first color is barely noticeable on my NC25 skintone but the two pinks look very nice. I think that the first color will work as a good highlight while the two pinks are perfect cheek colors. On the rightmost part of my arm is the swatch of the three colors blended together. Ganda, no? :)

Overall, I love it! It's a great palette to have! Imagine having three colors in one pan at a very affordable price. It's definitely a steal! :) So there, I hope you enjoy my very first makeup post. Till next time!
