April Make-up and Skincare Hauls.

For the past few months, I've been reading endless blog posts about make-up and skincare. Saw different products, others recommended by friends. I personally would have liked to try them all, but with a limited budget, I had to choose which ones to buy first and save the others for future purchases.

Yes, this is my April to early May haul. Mostly are just small sized or samplers, because I'd like to test products before getting a full size. I have an oily skin and  I do get breakouts easily so I had to be careful to pick items that will fit my skin type. Still, I guess one can say I'm an eager beaver when it comes to trying out things even though I'm a bit anxious about it.

SPOTLIGHT: SNOE Beauty Inc.

It's not everyday that you'll see local beauty brands lasting for years in this country. Since a lot of people still prefer buying foreign brands, I'm amazed as to how these local brands survive. (Thank god for beauty bloggers!). Take this one for example: Snoe Beauty Inc.

I've first known Snoe a few years ago after seeing their stall at Robinson's Galleria. Initially, I thought they were just another brand from a different country until a friend of mine mentioned that they were actually made by a Filipina. Sadly though, during that time, I wasn't much into make-up and decided to just buy their Hard Candy lip color Strawberry Shake, mainly because I found it cute. It was a set of 3 different colored lipsticks that can be bought as a key chain. It was also being sold at an affordable price!
