trip to watsons with mom

so ever since i got my fraxel treatment done 3 weeks  ago, i was off make up and still am actually but when i passed by watsons (a local drugstore) with my mom i couldn't help myself but buy some stuff i found useful.
my mom is staying with us for a while and when she found my make up stash she got so excited about everything in it!lol this is a 60 year old woman we're talking about. we have been apart for almost 10 years ever since i went to college here in the Philippines and they (my parents) stayed in Dubai (where i was born&raised). i would only visit them in summer or winter breaks since i was studying and those were just short visits 2-3 weeks max. earlier this year they both retired and came back to Philippines, which brings me now to my blog.
so 10 years later this is when we get to bond, mother&daughter. i know there are a lot of things we missed out on, lots of experiences we didn't get to do together but i'm sure we'll have enough time to catch up. the past may be gone but there is still a future.
my mom particularly liked one make up item of mine, this is the L'Oreal minerals loose powder. she found it to be so light on her skin compared to cosmetic compact powders and she said that it was wearable everyday (which she eventually did). we have different skin types she has sensitive skin and i have oily skin. so we went over to watsons and looked for a minerals loose powder that was not as expensive as my L'Oreal one cause she said she would't spend php.900+ on a small powder that she would use everyday. we came across this booth which sells all mineral make up it was names bt minerals. all the cosmetics were really nice and cheap. the sales lady offered a mineral powder similar to what we were looking for, it also came with a concealer on the top cover so that i found was way useful than my L'Oreal.

it's really nice and compact so it's pretty easy to travel with. it's also light weight on the face nothing matte and heavy about it. i'd say this was a bargain.

next i saw this Revlon lip gloss/stain and fell in-love with it cause it's kinda matte, thick and looks not so glossy. i don't like lip glosses cause it pretty much forms a white film when it's on the lips for long plus i don't like the sticky feeling of gloss.

 super love the shade "fire", the one on the left is mac Russian red.

the gloss is promising i just hope it is also long lasting. i love that it is a full size long gloss so the're a lot of product. this would be my first ever lip stain/gloss thing, i don't know what it's called lol

then we came across the booth of elf and found something interesting! a brow shaper! i mean a brow guide?! never saw anything like it.

it's super cheap and it comes with 4 different eye brow shapes so you can just put a brow design over your brows and shape them according to the brow kit.
so of-course with the brow kit should come some brow tools right?! we had to buy a brow powder so we went over to the booth of in2it and got one. it's super nice and it comes in 3 shades in one container.

i think after getting the eyebrow stuff mom was already satisfied.
i wanted to buy her some make up brushes too but i only use real techniques and they're not available in shops here so i order them online. we just settled for make up brushes from marinaud in watsons which doesn't look bad actually, for daily use they'll do just fine.
