I love Holidays! most especially my annual December vacation trip to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is my favorite place to buy all the beauty stuffs I own, its because a lot of the brands there are cheaper compared when you buy it here in Manila. I dont really splurge on clothes, its my mom who usually buys for me. So I use my pocket money to buy all sorts of Make Ups and beauty products. My favorite shops to go in Hong Kong are FACESSS, SASA and Lane Crawford.
This is FACESSS in Harbour City
Stores inside : MAC, Benefit, MakeUp Forever, Chanel, Clinique, Shu uemura, Kanebo, Bare Escentuals, locittaine, Bobbie Brown and many many more!
This is my little sister who went with me in make up shopping! :)))

BENEFIT is just the cutest make up line I have ever seen. They have a really unique name to all their make up products. I just think that its priced way too much! Ill be listing the things I got from each brand below. ill be placing the prices so its possible to compare them from US/Php prices.

ReplyDeleteThere's totally no point in doing a total and multiplying it by 6 and then concluding "OMG EXPENSIVE!!!" in Philippines, that's dumb. Unless you actually compare the product's HK price to PHP price and NOT the conversion rate, you are just basically bragging how much money you've spent by doing the total. :-/
