Because egg-shaped lip balms aren't just cute enough. I just finished my EOS lip balm and I'm actually proud about it, because let's be honest, we often lose these things before we finish them.

I was supposed to get another EOS in a different flavour but who would have thought I'd come across this cute little thing. It's in watermelon flavor and it comes in a freakin' cute owl container. I don't even like watermelon!

So the first installment of this year's Trendsetter's Bazaar started last Friday and ends today (October 17-19).

I went to the other bazaar last Friday (Beauty Fair 2014 in Eton Centris) because it was a far more familiar place. But I just could not stop thinking about the Trendsetter's Bazaar knowing how huge World Trade Center is compared to Centris Tent. Okay, so I got over my cheapskateness not-wanting-to-pay-for-entrance, at around 1pm I finally decided to get my @$$ over there even if I had to be alone. Good thing I have my ever-trusty Uber App, making my quick trip to an unfamiliar place alone could feel a lot safer. My black Toyota Altis ride came shortly, and we got to the venue in just about 30 minutes ( I guess). I looked for the Gadget District right away. It was a very bad timing, actually, I wasn't looking for gadgets at the moment except for Z3 that I'm not looking at buying NOW. And I am still in this make-up era. Anyhoo. Here's how the Gadget District looked like:

This is my first-ever official makeup haul. Okay maybe a haul is an overstatement. A pair  of drugstore products can't possibly be a haul. But It's a step forward. (LOL)

I was feeling pro using the term "drugstore" which is probably a jargon in make-up context. (I am totally one of you now am I?!)

I have always thought that all make up products are created equal. Only when I started watching make up vlogs when I found out they are sorted out as either Drugstore or High-end. As a child, I have seen makeup products from Clinique to Revlon to Maybelline. I never thought they weren't all judged the same as I thought they were.

Make up products are expensive in Manila in general, so everything feels high-end to me. Most especially because I used to think make up is a waste of money, natural beauty is enough--bla, bla. I had always been hateful.

So let's skip to the good part, that saleswoman from the department store totally sold these products to me when I was looking around:

1. Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder #030 MEDIUM. P525.00

2. Revlon Nearly Naked Liquid Makeup (Foundation) #150 NUDE, P525.00

Good set for starters (Like me, evidently.)
The handles are even labeled with what they're for.
I also have a "starter" face palette to use with this and I'd be very happy to put up on this site once I go pro with this!
I love how things come in eco-friendly labels nowadays. It makes your shopping a little bit guilt-free if not at all.

Ecotools Five Piece Mineral Set, The Ramp Crossings, Glorietta, Makati, P580

Holly Sharpe Ltd. Collection Face Palette, Marks and Spencer, City Centre, Cambridge, £15 (P1,200)

I'm miles away from a make-up guru. And this one isn't even a make up at all but this is like the farthest I can go.

Watching Miley Cyrus MVs is my guilty pleasure. And that's where I found those cute little balms!

They used to be just available in online stores in the Philippines, but I found one in GNC in Greenbelt 1.
