The packaging: a very classy black and gold lipstick tube enclosed in a black box with gold prints.
Rose Pink - a medium pink toned lipstick but appears nudish on my lips. This color is highly  recommended by Atomy. Fabulous and natural looking. 
Ruby Red -  a bright sharp red, I call it "my seductive red". The most distinguished color in vivid colored lippies. A must-have for every woman.

Haul 0009 - Accessories

Hi guys!!!

Here's another collective haul of accessories I am sharing to you. I am a huge fan of customized and unique accessories especially bracelet, earrings and necklace. I love to visit bazaars and expos that sell a wide variety of accessories. So following are some additions to my collection.
A former officemate went to Palawan for a vacation and I requested her to buy me a Set of Pearl accessories. The set includes a necklace, bracelet and earrings (P700.00). These are medium size cultured pearls.

I like Pearls because they are classic, timeless and have a quiet sophistication that can’t be matched by any other piece of jewelry. Pearls are statement pieces, attention-getting without being noticeable and can be worn with any outfit.

 
Paris Bijoux Gold-plated Bracelet with Heart-Shaped Design and Swarovski Element Crystals (P1,619.00 - 40% discount) from the original price of P2,700.00. Bought thru MetroDeal (an online shopping site).

Every girl needs a bit of sparkle in her life “daw” so to add some spark into my accessories, I bought this bracelet. It’s from Paris Bijoux (a French designed costume jewellery). Paris Bijoux products are quality made custom jewelry that are not only attractive to look at, but affordable as well. The jewelry they produce ranges from simple bangles to intricate necklaces. They have also developed charm bracelets over the recent years. Paris Bijoux is truly world-class and are not only known for their design, but also for their craftsmanship. The bracelet is made with exquisite craftsmanship, only authentic Swarovski Element Crystals are used and materials used in making the jewelry are of high quality.

When I wear it on my wrist, I feel more confident and more like a lady; as the saying goes that “accessories can make or break an outfit,” seems to hold true.
Love Pearl Necklace (P189.00) original price was P500.00 (62% discount) - got this one thru MetroDeal also. What made me purchase this necklace was the harvest your own pearl experience! The Love Pearl Kit comes with a necklace and a freshwater pearl still inside its mollusk. It's exciting that you won't be able to know the color of the pearl unless you opened the tin can with salt water and mollusk. To know how to purchase thru MetroDeal, check this link. Here's how I came up with this necklace below: Follow me!

The Wish Pearl is a high-grade freshwater-cultured pearl that takes 3 to 5 years to gestate inside its mother mollusk. Only one in several hundred mollusks develops the size, roundness and luster needed to qualify as a Wish Pearl and be sent out to the world on a mission to help the loveless.

The necklace is made of a genuine pearl with a copper-with-platinum pendant and chain. “Pearl of Love” is a high-grade fresh water pearl measuring 6.5 to 7.5mm in diameter. The pearl comes in 5 colors (white, cream, peach, purple and gold), and each color has it's meaning like peach for love!

Legend has it that in the ancient times, there exist rare magical mollusks deep in the South China Sea that only the bravest men could find. When a determined man found one after great hardship, he would present his magical mollusk to his beloved. When she opens the shell, magic would happen and they would be blessed with a love eternal. The pearl inside the mollusk became known as the Pearl of Love. 

Topshop Coconut Tree Dangling Earrings (P299.00) from the Original price of P700.00 + shipping fee P120.00. Got this one from CashCashPinoy (about CCP here). I love its quirky Coconut tree design that makes a statement when worn. Crafted by Topshop, an iconic UK brand known for its trendy and street-chic designs. It's made of alloy with dimensions of 6.5cm height and 0.01 kg weight with a secure lever back ear wire closure. Just the perfect accessory for summer!

Guess Logo Toggle Gold Bracelet (P799.00) from the original price of P2,515.00 + shipping fee of P130.00. It's an authentic Guess jewelry for that sassy urban style that features a curb chain bracelet in gold-tone which adds a hint of understated class to everyday ensemble. An eye-catching bracelet perfect for casual gatherings or formal get-togethers. Perfect as a personal accessory or to give away as a gift for your fashion-forward friends. My Package includes a dust pouch and the bracelet measures 8 inches in length.
Bought earrings from Kultura SM City Cebu: Lexur - Onyx P39.80 (20% discount) and Hiyas - Red Coral P89.77 (10% discount). Cute little pieces for everyday accessory!
Compact Mirror with Butterfly design (P179.00) from SM Department Store. I'm a fan of any butterfly inspired pieces. Isn't it lovely?
Katsi Black Sunglasses (P150.00) - Just the perfect sunnies for summer! Check other designs at their IG: TCSUNNIESPH and Facebook here.

How do you find my accessories?  Till my next post!
