March Challenge Day21: Fave Bag that you Own

the lippies

the blush

the mascaras

the liners

the primer

Im on my makeup ban and though i want to buy new products to try
I should finish each and every single item that i had. For a mom-on-a-budget like me, my first priority were my baby's needs like Milk, diaper, vitamins and food supplements and so on, so buying makeup is very limited. So i should finish them before they expire, then, i could buy makeup afterwards.

Im saving money for items that is into my list of things to buy this year.
At the moment, im enjoying the items that i had in my drawer =)

What i bought with my Sodexo GCs =)

Tadaa! remember my previous post of receiving GCs as one of employee benefit in the company i was working for?  SODEXO GCs

3 Pack Classic Clear Bottle in PINK =) 237.50php
1 Crystal Clear Collection 99.50php
1 Pink 8ml Farlin Bottle 97.50php

I have to replace her old feeding bottles =) and after half an hour of roving in their baby section (SM Dept Store) i finally decided to pick plain and PINK bottles for her... and im so happy with my purchase =)

What i love about Lactacyd Baby Bath? 
It is good for my little angel's skin.. and i really love smelling her after bath.. kagigil =) it contains natural and mild cleansing ingredients extracted from milk. It also has the natural acidicpH taht keeps skin soft, supple and smooth. Prescribed and recommended by doctors for all skin types including that of infants and sensitive skin on face (so if you had sensitive skin you can use this for mild cleansing)


Why I choose Farlin for my baby? 
Well i love its simple yet elegant bottles.. reminds me of my childhood.. lol I also buy her training cups and use Farlin wipes for her. I find that their products suits my budget and im so happy to find quality products at very affordable prices.

This is her Training Cup.. pink and purple color for girls.. blue for boys =)

I use Farlin Wipes for my little angel and I also used this for removing my makeup =) for 30sheets this costs 42php only. I like the sheet's texture and its scent.. not too much for my sensitive skin ..
