#PerksOfABella: BDJ x CBTL (Taste Matters)

Here's another #perksofabella post for today. After some window shopping and having my free make over at the Benefit store, I decided to eat. I headed to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf since I don't want to eat something from fast food restaurant for a change. I used the "Buy any salad and get Today's Iced Tea for Free" coupon. 

 

Here's my order. Caesar Salad w/ free Southern Blend Iced Tea. I saved 125.00 :P

I loved that the Caesar salad's dressing was not thick and the greens and croutons are all crispy. It was my first time drinking Southern Blend Iced Tea. Though I'm not used to drinking tea, I find this one refreshing and delicious. This one will be included in my "to-go" drinks from now on.

I still have a lot of coupons to use. I'm planning to use the TGIF or Wingstop coupon next. Maybe on my birthday this coming August.

#PerksOfABella: My Benefit Free Make-upper Experience

I was in Alabang this morning for a job interview, and since it ended before lunch I decided to drop by at Alabang Town Center to eat and do some window shopping (I have no budget for real shopping! hahaha). Upon checking my bag content, I saw my BDJ vouchers and coupons from the BDJ 2015 planner and from all the events of BDJ I've attended. Among them is the FREE makeupper and brow consultation coupon / voucher from Benefit that I've got from the recently concluded BDJ Beauty Boot Camp. So I decided to use it since I've never tried any Benefit cosmetics before. I approached the sales clerk / beauty consultant (her name's Rina, and I forgot to take a picture of her) and asked her if I can avail the promo, and she immediately said yes. She asked me to sit near the makeup counter while she's preparing all the thing needed for my transformation. 

I super love the store's color theme. Looks yummy! hahaha

MY BEFORE and AFTER. sorry for the poor quality photo ;)

Products that Ms. Rina used on my face.

1. Remove it make Up remover (not in the photo)
2. the POREfessional face primer
3. the BIG EASY Liquid to Powder SPF 35 Foundation (i forgot to check the shade she used)
4. Hello Flawless (Honey "I'm cute as a bunny" shade)
5. Erase Paste Concealer (#3 deep)
6. Brow Zings (medium)
7. World Famous Neutral (i also forgot to check the shade she used)
8. They're Real! push-up eyeliner
9. They're Real! lengthening mascara
10. Benetint cheek and lip stain
11. Dandelion Face powder
12. Hoola Bronzer
13. Hydra Smooth lip color (sheer bubblegum). - not in the photo

I didn't buy any from the store (I told you earlier I don't have a budget T.T ). Though I love to have that Push-up eyeliner (wish I know how to use it), but since it's kinda pricey and I don't know how to apply eyeliner I think it will be a waste of money. But I can add that to my birthday wishlist and show it to my husband later on. hahahaha.

I'm thankful for Miss Rina for accommodating me and for being my Fairy God Mother even for a short time. I also thank Benefit and BDJ Team for providing us bellas an opportunity to experience something like this. I still have a lot of vouchers and coupons to use, and I'm thinking what should I try next.

#PerksOfABella: I ♥ Parisian Shoes

Good Day Bella!

Here's another #PerksOfABella post from yours truly. This time I used the SM Parisian 20% Off Coupon. I want to buy myself a gift for passing the Bread and Pastry Production Assessment last March 30. I originally thought of using the coupon to buy a new bag but since I just bought a bag less than a month ago, I decided to just buy a new pair of sandals. 

                       

Growing up, my mother and my sisters used to buy my school shoes from Parisian, and it usually lasts the whole school year. I rarely buy shoes but when I do, I always go to Parisian stalls first before somewhere else. And more often than not I always ended up buying a pair before I can move onto a new location or brand. :) What I love about Parisian is that they're comfortable, durable and most of all affordable. 

Anyway, here's what I bought.

* Please excuse my ugly feet. ^^v




I usually choose black or red color for my sandals, but this time I chose nude / skin tone for a change. This one costs Php 799.75 but I got this for just Php 639.8 since it's 20% off. I still have 3 SM Parisian coupons left.. Hmmm... What should I buy next?

Anyway, to check their recent collections just like their Facebook Page and follow them on Twitter and Instagram.
