Hauls: BeautyMNL - Holidays 2016

It felt like Christmas came early when my package from BeautyMNL arrived. It came complete with a Christmas themed wrapper and a tag that said "Happy Holidays, Beautiful!" and I just hastily opened it because I was particularly excited about the three nude lipsticks from Maybelline which came in a gift set called "Will you MLBB me? 💗 ". I have become a lipstick addict lately and when I am shopping with BeautyMNL I'm sure that I am getting fresh and authentic stocks. So without further ado, here's my BeatyMNL haul!

I have shopped twice at BeautyMNL in less than a month; blame it on their promos such as free shipping at no minimum order required. And now this one in particular: the 3 nude lipsticks gift set for Php 699.00 that is so hard to resist. 

THE "WILL YOU MLBB ME?" SET FROM MAYBELLINE

When I ordered this set, I thought that in case I didn't like one of the lippies I would willingly give it away. Let's just say that I fell in love at first swipe so I'm keeping 'em. The regular price for each piece of Creamy Matte Brown Nude lipstick is Php 299.00. The MLBB Gift Set came at Php 699.00 so that means I saved Php 99.00 or Php 33.00 for each lippie. Not a bad deal, huh?

Left to Right: Clay Crush, Touch of Spice and Nude Nuance

Color Description are as follows. I got it from www.beautymnl.com.

Maybelline Creamy Matte in Touch of Spice: A universally-flattering mauve.

Maybelline Creamy Matte in Nude Nuance: A beautiful rosy brown. 

Maybelline Creamy Matte in Clay Crush: A pretty peach-brown with golden undertones. 

The colors are all very office friendly and just having thee around, I feel inspired and fired up to go to work. However, these can also be amplified to suit for night outs, especially Nude Nuance and Touch of Spice. Touch of Spice is said to be a favorite of Georgina Wilson's and I can see why. These three are all my favorites. Even when I'm not using them, they are also hits on the olfactory department - they smell like chocolate!

NYX SOFT MATTE LIP CREAM IN STOCKHOLM

This one came with my previous order - the very first time that I tried ordering at BeautyMNL. It actually cost Php 390.00 which is tad higher than the prices of those at other online shops but I'm really wary of buying from unknown sources since there's a proliferation of knockoffs in the market. Anyway, I am also happy about this purchase. I know there's a Nudie Lipstick theme going on in this post and I am totes enjoying this trend. :)

The SMLC Stockhom is described in the NYX website as a Mid-Tone Beige Pink. Thanks to the pink part, this one still makes me look pretty flushed and not sickly pale. This one also smells yum, like cake or vanilla. It pretty much stays put, unless you eat something oily.

BEACHBORN SEA SALT SPRAY

This one is DA BOMB! At Php 180.00 per 100 mL bottle, I have a shot at getting Serena Van der Woodsen-like hair! What's not to love? This one also comes  handy when making the baby hairs and strays behave whenever I do  a pony tail. Just a tiny glitch though, my spritzer won't spritz anymore after a couple of uses. I will need a replacement bottle. Sigh!

VASELINE LIP THERAPY

Lastly, I grabbed this Vaseline Lip Therapy tube because I knew I would using matte lipsticks often and it could dry out my lips. That's me being cautious. It only cost Php 75.00 so it's definitely a winner.

Thanks to BeautyMNL, I don't have to go to a physical just to get my beauty fix. Even if I live in the province and have never seen a Maybelline beauty counter here (OMG!), I'm definitely catching up with other beauty junkies about the latest raves and cheap thrills. 

It's definitely a beauty destination for me.
