Haul # 3 Multiply

This came in the mail today. I am so freakin' excited. I literally shrieked when I got a hold of this. I ordered this like 2 months ago from a store in Multiply. This is just my rant on the seller because I just want this out. This order was suppose to be in my hands like over a month ago but she said there has been delays in US shipment so that's totally not her fault. And then when these finally came, I paid for it in full and then she shipped it not even bothering to give me my tracking number so that's fine with me too. Then the whole Friday, I waited and waited and it didn't came. Friday night, I sent her an SMS telling her I haven't got my order. Then she replied and said she had put it in my old address where in fact I gave her my recent address. So I thought that's fine ,we all make mistakes. I thought because she has a lot of clients this things could happen. You know the irritating part is? She asked me to be the one to call the courier to give the correct shipping address. Like, hello? Is that what you call a Customer Service? So I said to myself again, ok I'll make the phone call. I called and the rep told me they went to my old address and it is abandoned. Of course because I moved and so I gave her my address. She said I will get it on Monday. I'm like what? Don't you guys ship on Saturdays? She said, yes but since this is no longer on their schedule so I have to wait till Monday. I'm like ok since I already waited that long what's another 3 days. The bad thing about this is that the seller didn't even bother to check on me. Like it's her fault she shipped to the wrong address now asked me to re-route the order then not even bother to check on the status. Like common? The worst part is, oh yeah something bad even happened. Can you believe it? Monday, it came and I opened it and guess what? My order is not complete. I'm missing one item. Ha! I sent her a message again. She's like oopppss... I forgot so I will ship it later. I'm like my God! My order reached up to $200 (here in the Philippines that's a lot of money) and then she doesn't even know how to take care of her clients. Then what are the chances that I will order again. Right? Here's the thing, I have been very nice to her I didn't even tell her I'm mad and I will not even link her store here. I just want it out of my chest and let you guys know that this kind of "customer service" exists. Ok, I feel better know. Here's my long overdue haul which is honestly worth the wait. Tada!

Review: LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub


I have never seen the point of exfoliating your lips not until I started wearing make up. All I know was to moisturize your lips with a lip balm and you can live with a smooth lips. Period. But then again, I was wrong. Ever since I started to exfoliate my lips then cap it off with a lip balm, I noticed that my lipstick application becomes smoother and easier even with matte lipsticks. Exfoliating your lips will remove dead skin from the lip's surface and will reveal a much softer lips. However, do not go obessesing on scrubbing your lips every single day. It is advisable to exfoliate your lips 3-4times a week. There are a lot of ways to exfoliate your lips. You can use a soft tootbrush and rub it on your lips. There are homemade stuff that you can mix up to create your own. Or there are ready-made lip scrubs out in the market. And that's the choice I made for myself because it's faster and convenient for me. Here's my thoughts on this product.

Tom's One for One


This is my first pair of Tom's Shoes. I've been eying this for a long time. Every time I pass by the Nothing But Water store, I look at them like a kid looking at a candy store. :P I didn't know before that it's "in" especially to Hollywood and local celebrities until I entered the store because they have a bulletin post full of pictures of celebrities who wears them. The shoes just caught my eye because nowadays I'm a woman of comfort when it comes to dressing up. I was with my sister and she helped me picked up my first pair. I chose the classics in red canvass. It's safe to go with the classics and daring to go for the reds (I just made that up :P). I never wore red shoes before so this is exciting for me. Also when you purchase, they will take a picture of you holding the Tom's flag because they will post it at their facebook fan page. So better be camera ready ;) It's sooo comfortable and the best part is, it does not ruin or chip my pedicure. haha! When I'm wearing it, I just feel like there's a cloth wrapped around my feet and I'm stepping on marshmallows. That's how comfy it is. Does my feet sweat? A bit. The Price? P2,400 and I think it's just right. Will I buy again? YES DEFINITELY! Even if you buy the entire collection, you will not feel guilty because Tom's Shoes is ONE for ONE.

Haul # 2 Collective

This a collective haul for the month of August. I know that my first post was a haul in the month of August. (does that makes sense?)  After that week, these are my purchases for the past 3 weeks of August. I just want to warn you that this is a picture heavy post. Forgive me for buying a lot this month but this is my birthday month. My actual birthday is Aug 24th and I turned 27 (oh yes I'm old). I will definitely be on a beauty related budget diet after this because I have to first post a lot of reviews on the stuff that I have. Before anything else I just wanted to inform you that you will notice a lot of The Body Shop stuff and maybe in the near posts. And nope, they did not send me anything for free. Everything that I will post was bought from my own money unless otherwise stated. I just am in love with the fact that they do not test on animals, the paper bag may be crappy but I do not mind since it's made from recycled materials and I think some of their packaging are recycled or something plus the fact that their stuff works for me. I hope they do a back to Body Shop like the back to MAC program. So with that out of the way, here's my haul for the month of August. Enjoy!
My TBS haul. Most of the items I purchased were on sale. They have a promo every weekend for Love Your Body Members where you Buy 1 get 2nd item for 50%.
