Collective Haul: KK Center, Ben Nye, Human Nature + Review
Hi, it’s been a while since my last post. Sorry, if I can’t post daily since my baby and my hubby keeps on nagging me not to hold my lappy for long. I’m really spending more of my time with my baby since she’s really growing up and learning many new words. Her vocabulary expands rapidly and she’s able to form a variety of simple sentences with three or four words. I need to seriously guide her because she can really imitate words from adults, and it doesn’t help that my Yaya has an accent. And, now my baby pronounces “MILK” as “MELK”? “Building as Belding”?! Wish I can find a Yaya with a British accent, and I’ll worry no more. LOL
I’m now struggling to correct that. Now, I’m teaching my baby and Yaya at the same time. Children practice what they hear. And my baby can understand that words have meaning and she already developed a sense of how words fit together. So, now is the time that I really need to listen attentively with interest to what she says and, support and love her effort to speak.
Okay, I hope I didn’t bore you with my small mommy talk.
So, I’ve been doing a little online shopping lately just to keep myself sane. I have accumulated some little stuff that gives me priceless joys and outlet in life. LOL

| My Collective Haul from: The Style Quarter; KK Center HK; ebay; Rockwell |
I would've never given LORAC a chance; until Ms. Ritchelle sent me one for a product Review and one for giveaway. I didn’t know what I am missing until I tried it. I’m genuinely impressed with Lorac’s creamy and well milled texture, it doesn’t flake at all! Though, I’ll have to hang you in a bit and I’ll show you my in-dept review for this one and an FOTD.
Another fabulous Product from ben Nye brought to you by Ms. Ritchele of The Style Quarter. I finally found a perfect brow pencil color for an affordable price of PHP 380.
 |
| For Comparison |
I love the taupe color- it’s extremely versatile and has a great natural shade for my dark brows and my NC20 skintone. It has no reddish tones, and it’s not too grey, just a good neutral taupe that I am looking for so long. It glides on smoothly and does not crumble on the brow!
Vey Pigmented and smooth enough to create the short strokes needed to fill in, without tugging the skin just to show its color. The pencils are top quality – it is long lasting AND inexpensive! Unlike the other brow pencils they are in 7” long and they sharpen up very well!
I heart Human Nature!

| Hand & Foot Salve in Eucalyptus |
I fell in love with this product after trying it. It was not greasy and was more absorbent compared to hand or foot creams that I've tried before. Knowing that this product is all natural, it puts me at ease to use it knowing that it won’t have harmful effects to me and my baby~ as you all know I still breastfeed my toddler.
"The product is 100% non-harmful and non-toxic. They only use the natural ingredients, such as: beeswax, vegetable-derived alcohol, food grade emulsifier, goat’s milk powder, purified water, carrot oil, bee propolis, natural vitamin E, carrot extract, calendula extract, eucalyptus fragrance oil. Carrots and bee propolis contain the strongest antioxidant properties which is absolutely good for the nourishment of our skin and the whole body."
I love its thick consistency that has a softening, and moisturizing effect when applied to the skin. I apply this salve to soften the dryness of my hands, elbows, knees and some cracked heels.
More so, the eucalyptus scent makes you feel relax and calm! It can seriously relieve the muscle stress with its minty and cooling sensation.
This really works for me. And I love how affordable it is!
The best thing about Human Heart Nature is that all their products are 100% made and manufactured in the Philippines. They promote locally farm grown organic, natural ingredients and biodegrade-able materials that is Healthy for our environment, and EFFECTIVE for our skin.
I love my Eos Organic Lip Balm because of the super cuute packaging and how it moisturizes my lips. But when I found out that there’s Human Nature organic Lip Balm in peppermint at an affordable price of PHP59.75 (approx $1). I didn’t think twice and bought it to try. Human Nature Lip Balms are packed with antioxidants, bee propolis that protects our lips while beeswax keeps the moisture locked in our lips. This lip balm also contains calendula extract that comes from pot marigolds for natural sun protection.
Isn’t it awesome?
Isn’t it awesome?
I honestly love the texture; it glides on smoothly and does its job well in moisturizing my dry chapped lips. No Plasticky smell too! The minty feel is not so overwhelming but you can really feel the minty sensation. It’s super light and small to keep in any purse. Effective yet so affordable! I can say it again. LOL

| Here are some of my accessory haul from Rockwell |
Then, I've got 2 pairs of oversized earrings from WhatAboutSuzy, Rockwell Makati for PHP150 each (approx $4) I love those exaggerated and interesting shapes~ they would definitely frame and give full attention to your face and jawbone. I also got some feather earrings for PHP 100 only (approx $2).
And these arrived today from KKcenterHK. Super Fast Shipping!
And Here are my recent Haul from Ebay, borntoshop- my favorite seller for authentic BBWSanitizers, and Victoria’s Secret lotions. Lovely scents!

so many goodies! :D enjoy them all! Your baby must be so cute starting to talk :)
I also love HHN! But I haven't tried their hand & foot salve yet. It's good to read about how customers are satisfied with their products...
I've been reading a lot of Ben Nye cosmetics lately... I think that's something worth checking out.
And as for your yaya, hehehe! Mahirap pa naman turuan ang tao kapag medyo may edad na. But you can try. Malay mo mag improve ang diction ni yaya. =)
lovely stuffs :) im overwhelmed all of us local blogger bought human nature this month hehe
im glad you got the E25 sigma na :D

OMG! I'm laughing as I type this because I can just imagine your horror when she pronounces melk ad beldings. Haha! It reminds me of my friend's kid who pronounces Dora as DUra because of the yaya. And the kid's half-Aussie. I'm with you on a yaya who has a British accent. I'm not being a meanie towards yayas with accent though, it's just funny. XD
Those earrings look fab! :)
those a great accessories!
Hey, I hope your well and not too tired with your baby! Just wondering if you had any suggestions on what makeup brushes i should get, you have featured some really good products and seem to be in the know :)

I love mommy stories! lol or rants,its lovely to read about a mom's experience :)
Huge haul hon :) Love everything you got. Must try human nature. Never heard of 'em before.
bwahaha, this is something I can really relate to. Although my son's nanny doesn't have british accent (LOL) I'm just glad that she pronounces it as milk, but I sometimes hear an "e" sound in there somewhere...hehehe
awesome haul! I've always been curious about Lorac products since they're kind of well known in the US. Will definitely be waiting for that review...
Hey my dear, this is such a smart deal..I love the cute earrings..just superb!!!
Love it..Have fun sweety :)
How old is your baby? Sounds adorable. *^_^* You did a nice job keeping sane with this lovely haul...hehe. :D I haven't tried Ben Nye stuff but hear it is nice. Love those peacock feather earrings!

LOL @ a yaya with a british accent! :P just talk to your baby a lot and she'll learn. how old is she? :)
The Human Nature products sound amazing! And I would love to have ALL those lashes!
WOAH! Look at all that stuff! I know you're a busy (and beautiful) mommy but I so can't wait!
awww your baby is growing up! *o* and yeah, adults should be careful about what they say in front of children because they're like a sponge, they absorb everything! ;D
I'm happy to see you reviewing some environmentally friendly beauty products. The more natural they are, the less they will harm our skin and the more we help our planet :D
thanks for sharing honey! * Sofia
love those earrings!
Nice haul! <3
Cute baby! Once she grows older naman, she'll drop the "accent" =))
I have a three year old cousin and she talks like an old lady 24/7. :)) Whenever we would take a bath she would say, "Mommy ate tine, the water is coming! The water is coming!" SRSLY :O and when she's pissed she would talk back and say, "Ewan ko sayo hindi na kita love!" LOL let your baby watch disney. =)) based from experience, my cousin speaks baby english with an american accent lol :) it might be effective haha
Great haul! I love the earrings and the Human Heart Nature brand sounds really good. I love how their products are all natural :)
I love those earrings Diane, the orange feather one is amazing in design! You got some great items in this haul, I've actually never tried Lorac cosmetics but would certainly like to! The human Heart Nature brands sounds fantastic but I don't think we have in the US....tragic!
Interesting hauls Dianne! Can't wait to see some FoTD soon, I'm sure you'll look all glamorous especially with those lovely layered earrings! Thanks for all your recommendations! It's great to know what products work! - Mar
