5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL

     Shopping online is one of the most accessible form of shopping these days as almost everyone is now online. Admit it or not, we are all busy. Even though we have time to drop by our favorite malls and department stores, there are times that we only shop for every day essentials. For beauty aficionado like me who live North of the metro, I find it hard to shop some mid and high end brands that I've been using or would love to try. Because of this dilemma, I've found two solutions to my problem: travel all the way from North to South just to go to the nearest mall carrying the brands I'm looking or find an online shop that carries the brand. NARS and Davines are two brands that's on my beauty wish list and I don't have immediate access to the stores that carries both.

     Fortunately, I've stumbled upon BeautyMNL. It's one of the up-and-coming beauty sites in the country. A major part of BeautyMNL is its Shop, where you can buy various skin care and beauty products and have it delivered to your doorstep within 24 hours. Sounds a truly promising shopping site for all our beauty and skin care needs. I visited the site, browsed their shop, and enjoyed my shopping experience. I was in skin care, makeup, and everything-cosmetics heaven! Scroll down to see what's inside my Beauty MNL haul below :)

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL 

What is Beauty MNL?

   
     Beauty MNL is an online shop for the best skin care, makeup, tools and other beauty related stuff. It's a one-stop-shop that I highly recommend because they want you to feel your most beautiful. Every. Single. Day. Here are other reasons why in your next beauty shopping online, the best destination is Beauty MNL.com

1. They have more than 300 brands and counting. There are hard-to-find brands that you can only score at Beauty MNL. Yes, there are other online shops who can offer those but sometimes the question is authenticity. With Beauty MNL, you are sure that you're getting the real product in a very reasonable price.

3. Learn from the gurus. Hello, Liz Lanuzo of The Project Vanity :) Read their stories, get inspiration from their experiences and learn from their beauty advice. So while doing this, you can now assess what products you'll buy at Beauty MNL. It's like having a virtual assistant because they are giving recommendations so you don't need to worry about an impulse buy online.

4. The prices are affordable and reasonable. Shopping at their website is a breeze. No complicated tasks to do while shopping. Just pick a product and place them in your cart. They offer discounted prices too. As for the payment, they offer different modes that are so convenient for online shoppers. Ask me about the shipping? THE FASTEST I've experienced so far! I ordered my items around 10 p.m. and boy they arrived the next day before afternoon. The packaging is simple, with a delivery receipt that's itemized and very easy to understand. For Metro Manila addresses, expect delivery within 24 hours on weekdays (and Monday delivery for weekend orders). Meanwhile, it will take 3-5 working days for the rest of the country.

5. Since holiday season/Christmas shopping officially started, Beauty MNL has a gift guide section. Still don't know what to give your girl friends, relatives, and bff's this Christmas, let Beauty MNL help and guide you in choosing the best gift to give this holiday season.

     
     Now let's go to my simple haul. These are the products on my wish list that I found in Beauty MNL. I considered three items in my haul not easily accessible so yeah, I can say I found what I need under one roof. I will just say a little information about my haul and will just give full details on my product reviews.

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL 

     
     I've been lusting over NARS cosmetics for more than five years now. When I saw NARS Schiap swatches from beauty bloggers all over the world, I said to myself that I will buy a tube in the future. My dream came true! I wasn't able to buy the shade that I'm lemming but I found another love in NARS Audacious Lipstick in Michiyo :)

     Second that I've been dreaming of all these years is NARS Blush in Orgasm. I saw this blush shade from the makeup kit of celebrities like Lucy Torres. I fell in love with the shade years ago and I said to myself that I will save up to buy a pan in the future. Now, I already have this. Thanks to Beauty MNL :)

NARS Blush in Orgasm

   
     The following beauty products you'll see below are the products that I dubbed as not easily accessible. I can't say it's hard to find because there are online shops who also sell these brands BUT the only problem I always encounter is it's either the shade is out of stock, the product hasn't arrived yet or simply it available in selected shops. First is Naturactor Cover Face Foundation. This shade is always OOS or hard to find, good thing Beauty MNL offers a wide selection of shades. So when I saw the shade 130, I immediately placed it in my shopping cart.

     Another product that I can't find in stores, malls and local online shops is Davines Oi Oil. This is my favorite high-end hair product. When I emptied one bottle, I had a hard time finding a new one as I need to look for selected salons carrying the brand. It took me months to restock on this but to no avail. The only answer is Beauty MNL. I bought a new bottle that will last me a long time!

5 Reasons Why I Highly Recommend Beauty MNL 

   
     And lastly, a new lip balm from Shiseido. I'm not sure if this is available in Shiseido counters. I picked this because I'm running out of lip balm the time I'm shopping at Beauty MNL. Out of curiosity, I bought one. Well, it's something new for me and since the brand is Shiseido no need for me to ask why.

     I believe that if you want to look good in your makeup, you must first focus on your skin and the skin care products that you use. If you have problematic skin, then invest in skin care products that will treat the root cause of that problem.    

     Having a sensitive, oily and aging skin is a big dilemma for many but no worries because Leaders face mask can help you achieve that radiant, smooth, youthful, and firm skin! All their products are dermatologically-tested and they can assure you the best quality and results.

     I'm so excited to share with you my review on Tony Moly Make HD Argan Oil. The moment I received some of these products from Tony Moly, my heart skipped because these quick beauty fixes are what I really need right now.

     The crazy hot weather we are experiencing throughout the day prevents me from wearing bb creams and liquid foundation which I find heavy on skin so when I saw this new cc cream variant from Tony Moly, I've tried it immediately and so amazed on my first try. Another product that I fell in love with is the Tony Moly Make HD Argan Oil. I think I've found a close dupe to one of my favorite hair serums that's heavy on the pocket. Will muse about my experience on my next post.

Have yo tried these products from Tony Moly? What's your favorite?

Alcatel OneTouch Flash 2 Launch

     It's been two years since I bought a new smartphone. Honestly, I'm already happy with my phone because I already get the hang of using it. But when brands are launching their new phone models boasting with different features, I always feel left alone. Since I take photos often to be used in product reviews and features, I need to arm myself with a mobile phone that gives a new level in the field of photography.

     I guess the wait is finally over for a new prime model of smartphone that will make my photos crisp and clear. Alcatel Flash pushes the limits in camera and phone as it launch the second and much better version of the Alcatel Flash One. I was invited to the launch of Alcatel Flash last September 22 and got the first dibs on their latest prime model, the Alcatel Flash 2, with an even stronger focus on mobile photography than ever before. Fresh with their new brand color “Flash Green” signifying innovation, youth and energy, the Alcatel Flash 2 builds upon Alcatel Flash’s commitment in providing mobile users a unique mobile photography experience – mobigraphy.
