The prizes at stake are not that much but I know all of them are useful. I hope you can tell your friends to join. The mechanics are very easy. Good luck to all :D Just log in your entries at the rafflecopter below.

Early Christmas Gifts

     I had a blast last December with overflowing prizes from the giveaways that I joined. I felt that  Santa heard my wishes and seen that I've been very good last year. Haha! I know this is also a delayed post from my giveaway winnings. I wasn't able to claim/pick up the prizes on time and the only free time I had was when le hubby had his rest day during Christmas. He accompanied me to pick up the prizes and I'm so giddy like a kid that day because I'm sooo excited to get hold of my prizes :D

    I still have tons of prizes from other giveaways that I joined and will muse that on my next post.  I want to thank Sarah Tirona, Sabs Hernandez, Manila Shopper and Marqui Santos for having these awesome giveaways.

November and December Hauls

     Before the year ends, I would like to squeeze in pending posts from my November and December haul. Since I'm on a tipid mode, I only bought few products for the last two months. Some products here are my HG's while some were purchased just to try if they're worth of my tight budget. 

     Before the Glorietta Vibe fashion show walk, I decided to buy a makeup remover wipes that can melt waterproof mascara without using an eye makeup remover. I think it's more convenient than bringing a bottle of eye makeup remover and cotton balls during the event. I also bought this foot socks and nail polish remover wipes for my feet. The Mondes Ionic Keratin hair treatment was purchased out of curiosity. I'm not happy with the product, I develop pimples and wound like itchy flakes on my scalp. I guess I'm allergic to one of its ingredient but I don't know what to pinpoint :(

Foot socks
Tony Moly Floria Cleansing Tissues
Mondes Ionic Keratin Treatment
Wish Nail Polish Remover

     I also bought a back up of my favorite makeup remover wipes- Purederm  just in case my skin will react to Tony Moly Floria makeup remover wipes. This soap was given by my SIL when I visited my parents house. I was surprise when I read the label that it's manufactured by Splash- a local company selling beauty and bath products. But this was only sold through their direct-selling line like that of AVON. So now Splash is also making it's way on direct-selling, let's wait and see if they'll make noise this 2013. You know how I love Asian Secrets, and based on my experience this body scrub already replaced my first love on Abonne. I find this more convenient to use and doesn't hurt my skin if I use the scrub everyday!

Asian Secrets Lulur Body Scrub
Seriously White Gluathione Soap
Purederm Makeup Cleansing Tisuues

     My last haul for this year came from Snoe. Yay for new variants: Licorice and Organic Papaya :) I bought these two from a BOGO sale at Cinderella. The SA their informed me that they're having a sale so I grabbed the opportunity. I already reached my third month of using the black bleaching soap so I need to rest my skin from bleaching and use a milder one. When Ms. Jen of Snoe suggested the Special Kojic and Glutathione combo as a substitute for black bleaching I followed her and loving the results! 

     My sister just gave me this toner to try. At first I was hesitant because I find this toner too strong for my thin skin. But Janet's review of Eskinol convinced me to try this product. Let's see if this product will fare good on my skin.

Happy New Year!!!

     Before the year ends in just a couple of hours, I want to say THANK YOU 2012 for making my life full of surprises! I experienced ups and downs and these experiences made me realize that there's a lot of things to enjoy even if you have problems. now I believe in the saying HABANG BUHAY MAY PAG-ASA (As long as you are alive there is hope). I lose hope and I doubted but there's more important things that I have to thank for. Even though we experienced "loss" in many ways, our family is still lucky and blessed. Thank you so much to my family, relatives, friends and friends from the blogosphere for all the warm wishes, kind words and support!!!

     So this coming new year, good vibes and more inspiration, good health and prosperity to all :D

Cheers to the Good Times!~

Random Winnings

     Hi dearies! My apologies for not posting lately. I'm still alive and kicking :D Been very busy with family and some personal stuff. I want to catch up on my backlogs and make a new review after new year but not sure if I can make it :( Hope you can still find time to read my posts even though haven't posted a decent one. Oh by the way, January is my birth month so there will be another giveaway coming next month. 

     I just want to share my overdue giveaway winnings since the contests that I joined happened a few months ago. If you follow me on twitter I'm sure you've read my rant about the giveaway prize that took almost 6 months before it reached our doorsteps. Whew! Will not make blabber about it, just scroll down and click the photos or the links if you wanna follow blogs I'm following so that you can also join their giveaways :))) 

     I won a NAVA see through bag and a Bench perfume from Alyssa Lapid's June Birthday giveaway but I don't know what happened to the Bench perfume because I received 2 Status Magazine instead. 

Alyssa Lapid's June Birthday Giveaway

Thank you for the note Alyssa :)

     Remember my post about the makeup workshop that I attended? After the workshop, Kanebo was very generous and had a raffle of their products including a solid soap, skincare set and a gorgeous eyeshadow palette. I was not expecting to win since this product was raffled last. 

Kikay Trekkie's Half-off the price for Radiant Beauty Makeup Workshop by Kanebo and Suzzane Tan

Shade is 03 Mauve pink

Very classy packaging!!!

Hello gorgeous :) But for unfortunately, I already sold this palette when we needed extra money for my father's dialysis. I hope this is not a big issue since this was my prize- I can do whatever I want and this did NOT came from the products sent by the company to review and or from press kits.

     And lastly this very elegant nail file came from Czech Republic!!! I won this from Chic and Sassy Homemakers Mont Bleu Giveaway! This is something new for me because it's not an ordinary nail file. It is made from glass and has the unique design- SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS.

L- Travel size glass nail file
R- Nail File with Swarovski Crystals

     The nail file is very gorgeous that I'm just planning to display it. I don't want to use this coz I'm afraid that I will misplace the stones unconsciously while filing my nails. Haha! The mini nail file is very cuteee! Small enough to place inside my pocket or inside my makeup pouch.

     That's all for now. Thank you so much to these lovely bloggers for having awesome giveaways. 

Good Times!~
