Shopping: Robinsons Department Store Beauty Fair @ Robinsons Midtown

Robinsons Department Store is having a Beauty Fair until February 28! Every weekend, there are crazy marked down items from our favorite brands like Maybelline, Revlon, L'oreal, and beauty products like Pond's.



I was just here and the beauty fair is the perfect venue to discover the season's hottest makeup hues. I couldn't resist but raid the Maybelline display and begged for an instant makeup lesson. Thank you very much to Thelma for letting me discover Clear Smooth Minerals Liquid Foundation (P299) and Maybelline's Eye and Lip Makeup remover (P199).



After my makeup session with Maybelline at Robinsons Department store. Now I am ready for lunch with the girls!



Products used on my face: Clear Smooth Minerals Liquid and Powder Foundation, Minerals Blush. Eyes: Maybelline Eye Studio Hyper Diamonds Glow and Hyper Diamonds Shadow, Volume Express Cat Eyes, Eyebrow Definist Powder.



20% off on Maybelline items every weekend of February. sweet! If you want to maximize and get the best out of your trip to Robinsons Department Store - you really have to ask for a makeover. Even other brands (like Revlon) offer this, just ask and come without any traces of makeup. This way, you get to test the products and don't end up with the wrong shade. You'd also walk away fully made up, for free!



I met up with my new friends Ava, Honey, and Ana to grab lunch after at Superbowl. Robinsons Midtown is great for girlie-girl day outs like this. Shopping on a sale, great ambiance, and lots of dining choices.



While munching, we were all gushing about the Maybelline x Hello Kitty Volume Express Cat Eyes. I was trying to introduce Tin to Revlon's Just Bitten but it was out of stock :( My schoolmate Carisse is also with us here.


Maybelline x Hello Kitty

I really want to go back on the next weekend. I want to have something like this in my room:



But I am currently researching on MAC because I can't believe I haven't tried it yet :)

Also check out their fashion section where Liberte is. They have the latest trends, like dresses in natural beige (this season's color?) for as low as Php 650 and the usual flattering tees. Happy shopping at Robinsons Department Store!

Shopping: Ayala Malls New Year SALE

I've been a hermit at home and it's just hard to resist the SALE. It feels like everyday, there is a sale but it's not that often Ayala Malls hold one.



Oh god. Let me know if Nine West is on SALE too! Thank me later for blogging about this, and other ongoing sale ;)

Marquee Mall is the one in Clark, Pampanga - which reminds me, it's almost Hot Air Balloon season and I haven't prepared nor booked any hotels. Santa, can you do this for me?

Shopping: SALE Alert | Penshoppe, Freeway, Solo, and Ensembles

First off is Penshoppe with the Great Penshoppe Sale. From January 3 to 15, 2011. Tis' the perfect time to get a good fitting pair of jeans from their boutiques.

My Maybelline NY Sale Haul - On Sale until December 15!

Maybelline is a staple to me, a necessity which I do not think twice of purchasing. So one day I was at SM Makati I saw this poster on their stall:



30% off on all products above P250 and 20% off all products below P250. You also get another 10% off if you have a SMAC card. Sale runs until Dec 15 only.

Maybelline Clear Smooth Minerals are a main stay in my makeup kit, which I recently lost and this was a great opportunity to stack up and get a new blush and concealer which I managed to live without for months!



Here is my Maybelline purchase.

I was deeply excited I bought the Angelfit Concealer instead of the Clear Smooth Concealer x.x My skin reacts to Angelfit, making the concealer turn into a darker shade upon application :( I am giving it to my sister after I get the right one.

I think Watsons is still on sale too. I was there this afternoon and got another something for myself at a cheaper price but more on that later :)

Shopping: Mega Shoes and Bag Sale!

The much awaited Mega Shoes and Bag Sale is now here! Grab your purses and head to SM Megatrade Hall on August 27 to 30. Actually, it's going to be Megatrade Halls 1 & 2!

Saizen is located at Trinoma inside True Value and Robinsons Galleria. Speaking of True Value, I chanced upon them while shopping and they also have interesting and modern items for the home. I can't wait to come back to them but more on that soon ;)

Going All Out at Robinson's Clearance Sale!

Recharge your shopping powers and dig in at Robinsons Galleria!

First, a heads up to all shoppingeras - all Robinsons Malls are having a clearance sale from August1-31. It's the longest shopping event of Robinsons Malls with discounts of up to 50% off. I just had to be there on Day One to have the first dibs on sale items which includes clothes for me, toys for my little boy at Toys R' Us and some home appliance at Handyman.

Fashion finds at Warehouse


At Warehouse @Robinsons Galleria, European pieces at 70% discount

It was my first time in Warehouse, I even thought it was a do-it-yourself store (pardon my ignorance) but now I am a fan of their clothes! Reasonably priced, with good sizing, and most of all, stylish.


high style but marked down pieces at Warehouse

The best thing I found in Warehouse is this black sequined bikini top. Definitely a head-turner, I wish it was still summer but I want!


Sequined bikini top now at just Php 500 ++

Toys for the Boys at Toys R' Us

At Toys R' Us, I saw items on crazy discounts like kiddie furniture and toys from Php 2,000 to just Php 499.75! I almost pulled out a scene from the Shopaholic movie when another mom grabbed a fireman chair set before I even saw it. Believe me when I say I had evil eyes and the shopper held on to her box tightly. It was the last piece. Mommies were all over the place looking for the greatest deals for their little jelly beans.


Up to 70% off at Toys R' Us @ Robinsons Galleria

But I am still lucky because I got this interactive table for just Php 499.75, the normal price is Php 2,500. Aha!

And because I was so happy with my purchase, I got another toy for my driver's little boy as well :) A musical piano with animal sounds for just Php 199.75, the original price is Php 250.


Learning piano at just Php 199.75

Lots of toys and baby stuff are on sale, just grab a staff from Toys R' Us and ask for help and tell them what you are looking for or yet, the price you are looking for. Toys R's Us will have even more discounted items on their Baby Fair which happens on August 13-31.


Just Ask this guy at Toys R' Us! He helped me score this Braun interactive table:)

Dandy Finds at Handyman

After grabbing toys, it's time to grab some stuff for the house at Handyman. I didn't realize they had lots of interesting items just like in Saizen. For instance, solar lamps for the garden, ant killers (yes I hate them!) and modern home organizers.


This chic toaster was Php 1,350, now it's just Php 680 at Handyman Robinsons Galleria!

I have my eyes on appliance like the toaster above which I want for our new home. Yet I just had to go with a big-o convection oven.


A real handyman assists me in testing the new convection oven at just Php 1,999

Now I can not only toast bread but bake cakes, roast chickens, and grill steak for my family. Just like at Toys R' Us, there are helpful staff inside Handyman that can help you grab your best find during the clearance sale.

My hubby and I went home tired but fulfilled, him with his new Transformer toy :) Since we started our family, we've been very thrifty but with all the discounts and deals at Robinsons, we were able to shop again for ourselves without forgetting our little boy.

I am going to check out other Robinsons Malls which are all having the All-Out Clearance Sale, in fact I will be in Robinsons Pampanga tomorrow! So excited, see you all at Robinsons malls and goodluck shopping! Don't forget to be a fan of Robinsons Malls on Facebook :)

My favorite mall is going on SALE! This means special deals will be coming to Watson's as well as Maybelline counters (hopefully).



On Friday, September 18 the massive mall-wide sale will start and they will be open until 12 midnight. Does this mean Whitehat frozen yogurt will be open until the wee hours too? exciting!

Rediscovering BUM Equipment

Santa must have heard I am running out of clothes when I got these in my mail yesterday from BUM Equipment.



Back in College, the most practical thing to wear for me was a pair of capri pants and a shirt. Hence, I never had enough of cool shirts that fit my kolehiyala budget. I would scour SM Department store and one of the brands I patronized was BUM Equipment for their glittery, graphic, and nice fitting shirts. Looks like a lot has changed:



These photos are such a challenge for me to create my own look with the clothes! Looks like kids have everything these days.

In the meantime, BUM Equipment invites all readers to avail of their special anniversary sale. I swear, back in College I would rejoice to see yellow sale tags. All items are now 20% off for the entire month of August.

VNC is on SALE!

VNC is having a mid-year sale! Time to add more shoes to your rack at discounted prices. VNC is also known as Vincci, if ever you go visit to Malaysia - Vincci is selling shoes like hotcakes. I always keep a pair of VNC pumps inside my bag, ever since I got them :)

This is the best time to try VNC shoes for yourself!
