Hi guys! How's your windy Sunday? Thank God, the prayers of the Filipino nation have been heard and Pepeng is now almost out of our area of responsibility. It is slowly making it's way out of the country via North Luzon. I just hope it doesn't wreck that much havoc in Laoag and the rest of the North Luzon region. By tomorrow afternoon, it is expected to be almost out of the country and by Tuesday, it will be in Hong Kong.
THANK YOU SO MUCH LORD GOD FOR SPARING MY COUNTRY!
So anyway, mom and I went to Duty Free. I didn't expect that we would haul that much but know what made us haul a lot? It's because we have found so much price differences on items that we see and like in Rustan's Makati. I'll make price comparisons later.
So here is my haul. I bought a bag, a perfume and of course, make- ups. :) I also did some supermarket hauls which I'll show you later on in this post.
I was sooo amazed at the Maybelline counter in Duty Free because it's like a mascara eater's dream has come to life! I've seen that they have DOZENS of mascaras unavailable in our local market namely Lash Stiletto, Define-a-lash, Volum Express Turbo Quick and Ultimate volum, and my all- time favorite, the Colossal Mascara, which is my favori because I swear by it's volumizing ability!
Also, I am quite impressed with their l'oreal counter because I saw that they have the Double Extension tubes mascara. It's the silver and blue- ended mascara that aids in permanently lengthening the lashes. It is sort of a treatment that will prime and encourage lash growth. There's also this black and gold- ended tube that does another thing, which I completely forgot. Well, it doesn't come at a cheap price because it costs $15.50. But if I had the extra cash, I would really get one! But I'm pretty fine with my Colossal. I'm so excited to use it!
Here's a bit of a low down on how our shopping went. BTW, the exchange rate is at 47.35=$1:
HOME SECTION
- Well, we just bought an ironing board cloth
LIQUOR AND CIGARETTES SECTION
- Mom bought herself a Robert ? Chardonnay, which is apparently one of the most popular wine brand in the world. The wines are on sale so she got hers for $19 only. Also she bought me and my brother a ream of Dunhill lights. :p
CHOCOLATES AND BISCUITS SECTION
- I got my all- time favorite cookie, Pepperidge Farm Milk Chocolate Biscuits. She also bought tin cans of butter and danish cookies. We also bought reese's peanut butter cups, 2 packs of hershey's nuggets for my titas and a pack of mini oreo snack tubs
FASHION WALK SECTION
- I got a Longchamp bag, D&G La Lune Perfume, Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick and Maybelline Colossal Mascara
SUPERMARKET
- I got myself a box of Kotex tampons Super on a whopping sale price of $1.75 for a pack of 10, cat toys for my two siamese cats (MOM BOUGHT MY BARRACK A WIFEY! I'LL POST PICS HERE LATER), Johnson and Johnson's travel first aid kit, which is a good find, a set of 3M Lint removers on sale at $4.75, Tiffany wafers in assorted flavors, canned goods namely Spam, Tulip, Libby and Palm, Heavy duty scrubbers, a cute Scotch 3M tape dispenser and imported frankfurters
Whew! We had a veeery tiring shopping experience so we ate at the Salubungan food court. Mom got herself a Low- Calorie meal and I got myself a Solo B from Kenny Rogers. We went to a Starbucks in Makati and finally, we headed home to catch the last mass in our parish church.
So here are pics of my hauls for this week. So a bit of a warning,
IT'S QUITE PICTURE HEAVY! :) ENJOY!

Love your Longchamp bag! An absolute classic :) The only thing I don't like is that it has no compartments. Well, nothing a bag organizer can't solve :)
ReplyDeleteThose are great buys. Can't wait for your reviews and FOTDs!
Lovely haul my dear! Would you know if DF is open to non-traveler but passport holder individuals like moi?
ReplyDeleteBtw, i heard a lot about the Maybelline Colossal mascara & my friends from the other side of the world are gushing about it. I just hope that their gushes come with an item so that i can also gush with them

crissy: thank you! :) and yes, i agree with the longchamp bag.it just started becoming one of the fashion staples just now. and i'm soo lovin' the color. :)
ReplyDeletesure sure! I do have tons of writing to do. :)
anonymous: hi! thanks for dropping by my blog. apparently, it is not open to non- passport holders. it's not even open to regular customers who would like to shop.
if you know someone who just came from abroad, just ask them if they're gonna pay DF a visit then you can tag along with them.
i asked my mom if duty free is open to non- balikbayan customers. she said that there are special days where it is open for all. but you have to find that out. :)
it's is truly an amazing product (maybelline colossal) i am so in love with it! i'm planning to get a back- up at the end of october because my mom will leave for beijing and it's duty free time when she comes back! :)
thanks.sana they'll open it for the public :(
ReplyDeleteas for the longchamp, yes it's defo a good buy. i have mine & it's 13 years old already but still fighting
