For my last post of the year, I will be showing you my recent hauls. Right before 2017 officially starts.
Since Sephora PH was nice enough to give me a discount for my birthday (plus the 2x reward points), AND they had the 12 days before Christmas gifts offer, I decided it's now or never, and grabbed the chance to finally get the palette of my dreams from Zoeva. After stressing over which palette to get, I was torn between the first/original Cocoa Blend and Naturally Yours, I opted to get the Naturally Yours Palette (Php 1,106) instead since Cocoa Blend is too similar to the palettes I already own. And because I dislike paying for delivery fees, I also added Too Faced's Let it Glow (Php 1,618) to take advantage of their free shipping (applies to orders above Php 1,300). As for my limited editon "free gift" (for Php 2,000 worth of purchases) , I picked the Mirenesse Secret Weapon Supreme 24Hr Mascara (Php 1,541) and an Enzo Laszlo draw string pouch.

The other haul I'd like to share with you is from BeautyMNL. They had free shipping this month (for up to 2 orders) which I took advantage of to order stuff I've always wanted to try and to throw in some Christmas shopping as well.
Finally, I also ordered a couple of travel-sized makeup products from Usmadefashion on Instagram. The bundle cost Php 699 (plus Php100 for shipping), which includes Kat Von D's Liquid Lipstick in Lovesick, Benefit's Sugarbomb blush, and a sachet of Hask's Kalahari Oil Color Protection Shampoo & Conditioner.

Kat Von D Lovesick Everlasting Liquid Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.22 fl. oz.) is described as a “mauve nude.” It’s a muted, medium-dark pinky-plum with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had fairly opaque pigmentation, though there was a hint of the natural lip color coming through. The color applied evenly, though, and was easy to work with. The texture was lightweight, comfortable to wear for the first five hours, and then drying for the next few (total wear of seven hours).

A "sugar rush flush" facial powder.
What it does:

Benefit Cosmetics Sugarbomb
($28.00 for 0.42 oz.) is the newest powder addition to Benefit’s line-up. It joins cult favorites like CORALista and Hoola, and Benefit describes it as a “sugar rush flush” for the face.

The powder comes with four triangles of color, which Benefit describes as “rose, shimmering pink, soft plum, and peach.” The powder is designed to be used all at once, rather than one triangle at a time. I’d completely agree with that notion, particularly because the space is just not big enough to really grab one shade over another that well.
When swirled together, the outcome is a beautiful peachy-pink shade with a very, very subtle golden sheen. This is half blush, half highlighter, because it’s not ultra pigmented and on my skin tone (which you could describe as “medium”), while it shows up, it looks very soft. It’s certainly not invisible (which would make it more like a highlighter), but it’s not vibrant. This is good and bad, depending on your usage — but it’s a good thing to me.
