Quality Lip Gloss from Beauty Treats | Complete Lip Gloss Set for P99

Lip glosses make lips shiny and moisturized. But unlike lip sticks, they don't last long. I use lip gloss in the office and reserve lip stick for special occasions. I call it practicality. After all, lip glosses are way cheaper than lip sticks. Presently, I use a complete set of lip gloss (a bit glittery) from Beauty Treats. I've been using some Beauty Treats products since last year when I chanced upon a store that carries this brand during a Bohol vacation with the boyfriend and his family.



For P99, I think my lip gloss set is a steal. It comes in a flat, square box with 12 different glosses (eight colored and four glittery) stored in holes the size of one-peso coin.



I love playing with colors so I combine two different colors from time to time. The results are lips that glow even at daylight. Isn't that fabulous? :)

Elegant Gladiator Shoes only at People are People

I know. I am being biased to People are People. But then, what can I do? I just love the shop. Most of the time, it has everything I want. And the prices are quite affordable considering the quality of their fashion apparels. Just like this pair of gladiator shoes:



I really wanted a pair of gladiator shoes badly so one chilly day at People are People-Rockwell, I bought one for P799. Had I waited several days more, I'm sure the price would've been lower. But it's okay. I love the fact that the one I got is simple yet elegant. I chose gold because it makes my skin appear white (I'm kayumanggi, remember?).

The gladiator shoes at People are People vary in styles, shapes and of course, sizes. I spotted silver, black and bronze for this particular style. If you're looking for a pair of gladiator shoes which you can match with a dress, a pair of skinny jeans, a skirt or short leggings, you might wanna check out the ones at the shop. :)

Back Pack cum Laptop Bag from Clipper

'Twas my first time to set foot at Clipper, a relatively new gift store found in selected malls nationwide. The branch was SM San Lazaro. Actually, I was just killing time perusing through the shelves of the store while waiting for the results of my panoramic x-ray which was a requirement in my appointment to the dentist. I was getting cheap braces then. If not for love at first sight, I don't think I would've bought this funky back pack cum laptop bag.



Basically, the design of the bag is retro-ish. I super dig the multi-colored faces. Somehow, it reminds me of my art lessons in elementary. I like it that the bag is spacious and can hold my 12-incher laptop comfortably. I think that's the edge of this bag over other back packs in the market today.

You can see and feel the durability of the bag. It has several pockets to hold valuables. The laptop pocket inside the bag has a thick platform to protect the gadget and hold it in place. Also, the zippers are huge and the way the bag was stitched together shouts quality. For P499.75, I daresay it is a steal!







Aside from back packs and sling bags, Clipper also sells stationeries, stuffed toys and other stuff that are very ideal as gift items.



I heard the store has branches in Trinoma and Gateway, too. Check them out and see for yourselves.

Stylish and Affordable Bags from People are People

People are People (PAP) is one of the shops I have been frequenting these days. This is where I find unique items whose price would make your jaws drop. Not because the prices are high but because they are really cheap, and fashionable at that.


Here, take a look at the three bags that I just bought from the boutique recently:



This bag can also be used as pouch by removing the strap. I bought it for P600 at PAP (sale price). Yellow is a lovely color easy to match with any outfit. It is stylish, bright and beautiful. The plastic, black gems used in this bag make it appear elegant and pricey. Nice.



For the price of P600, also at PAP, this purse is a steal. I bought this impulsively because I thought I'd need this in responding to future wedding invitations and holiday parties. I think it's sophisticated when paired with a nice cocktail or formal dress. What do yah think?



I bought this one for P200 (marked down price)at PAP. It's nice to use when going out on gimmicks. I bring a lot of kikay stuff with me whenever I go out so this bag gets to serve its purpose well.I love the front design because I think it's what makes it trendy and all.

When buying bags, don't compromise on quality. If you have money to spare, invest in bags that are durable and functional. If you could find bags that are cheap and heavy duty at the same time, the better. :)

Welcome to Budget Shopping Galore!

This blog was born out of the author's passion for scouring the market for the cheapest fashion finds. All items to be featured here may be owned by the author or spotted in fashion magazines and boutiques.

The idea here is simple. I'll blog about budget shopping and bargain hunting to my heart's content. As much possible, I'll try to post regularly to satisfy every reader's thirst for cheap fashion finds. When I say cheap fashion finds, I could be talking about the actual price or the price in comparison with other brands of the same style.

Aside from that, I will post items for sale on this blog. This could be sold through bidding or direct selling, whichever I find most appropriate at the time.

Please feel free to browse through my posts. I hope you enjoy your stay. :)
