Philippines Haul-idays

Okay, so I still have this Holiday fever and Mrs. homesickness is on my system (yet) again. I miss Philippines! my family, foods, places, definitely everything! 4 weeks was fast, and yes we're back in the cold country where Mr. Sun barely shows :( We just got back but can't stop thinking the time we're coming back in my hometown. I haven't start blogging since I came back cause my baby was and still sick, with cough and fever. I don't know if she was adjusting with the weather, from hot to uber cold. So yeah, family comes first. But hey I'm def back and I'm gonna start by this Haul-idays, this is purely cosmetics/beauty haul, I'm gonna be doing a separate fashion haul, but we were not able to shop till we drop since there was a lot occasions and it was holidays (people are everywhere! mostly in the malls) so I guess we had no time.

H&M + Nivea haul

 

Here goes an impulsive buyer 

The other day, we went out for Julia's (my little girl) monthly visit to the doctor, and while we were there I got a bit excited because the doctor told us, she can have her first taste of solid food. She's my first baby, so I'm really excited about everything she's going through especially her "Firsts", talking about motherhood :) So after our visit to the doctor, we went to the mall to buy her first solid food, and part of going to the mall is going to h&m shop (hubby knows that). I don't know why, I just like that shop because they got nice collections of clothes, accessories, and they also have "cosmetics" section. hihih They have different brands like L'oreal, Maybelline, Isa Dora, Maxfactor and their own line of cosmetics.

I bought this on sale! Cutie leopard skirt.Me likey!

Black Stockings, cause I don't have one yet.

Maybelline Falsies, black drama. First time to buy this one

Blending sponge, pink

Cotton pads

Nivea double effect eye makeup remover, I love this product!! I have a separate review about this.

 

 

It's not bad to shop and shop and buy and buy, as long as you know for yourself that it's worth the money and you'll be able to use it as well! And even if you have TONS of money, it doesn't mean that you just can buy the most high-end brands, always go for the value, quality and use. :)

Hamburg - Berlin vacay + haul

We had our 6-days getaway at Hamburg, Germany. I was with my hubby and baby Julia. Also my in-laws. Hubby's cousins + hubby's 2 pamangkins. So that makes us 5 adults and 3 kids :p 
 
So Hamburg isn't the main place to go for a vacation in Germany, but it's actually a big city to go shopping and to roam around (compare to Oslo). I remember when my hubby told me, once you live in Norway and you travel in another country, you'll find everything CHEAPER. And YES! It's true! Hahaha Well not "cheap" cheap, just much  LESS of the price compare in Norway. For days, we roam around the city, eat the most famous "german-ish" foods, shopped at stores like Karstadt, Rossman, Real etc. But I found myself so in love with Douglas shop. There, they have all the cosmetics and beauty products you need, name the brand! MAC, Clinique, L.a colors, benefit, Dior, Chanel, Lancome etc. But the counter I fell in love at first sight with was the NYX counter. Why? Cause it was actually the first NYX counter I saw and able to see and try all of their products. Yay to that! 

On our 4th day, we were able to rent a car, so we went to Berlin the following day (Sunday) but too bad, malls and shopping centers were closed cause obviously its Sunday. But we didn't left Berlin  yet cause we were able to roam around, and guess what? There were so many tourists that time so we still enjoyed our day trip there. We saw the famous Berlin Wall, we got to see also the "shopping" streets in Berlin were you can see high-end brands, Hermes, LV, Bally, name it! 

So with this blog I'm going to show you some pictures of the foods, places and things we experienced in Hamburg and Berlin, and also the things I/we bought back there hihih :) 



Enjoy the photos!

To sum it up, it was really a wonderful experience in Hamburg, even if it's also cold back there. If ill be given a chance ill definitely go back there, or maybe in another city in Germany. Or maybe in US, cause I think shopping experience in USA will be superb!! Hahaha :) It's so nice to travel, maybe I can share and write blogs about my previous travels like in Bohol, Cebu, Boracay, Hong Kong and Singapore! 


Hope you enjoy this blog!! I hope to see you in my next, which is my mini giveaway! Watch out for that :)
