Divisoria Haul 2016 - 2nd VisitBefore anything else, I am fully aware that I have been MIA for almost 2 months now and for that, I apologize :) I was just going through a lot lately and I just needed to focus on some pertinent matters first. Since I was in bad need of a break, I decided to go to Manila for a workcation and even decided to go offline from all social media sites for a week just to breath, think, and appreciate life even more. Ahmm, that was deep :) Anyhow, since I was able to visit Manila again, of course I never missed to visit Divisoria for a fun-filled shopping experience with my best Divisoria buddy, my boyfriend!! :) NOTE: Image quality is inconsistent. No excuse needed just want to say sorry :) These, my friends are the things we got from Divisoria. Most of these are clothes with a few random stuff included. By the way, if you haven't seen my 1st Divisoria Haul yet, you may wanna check it here :) To make this post organized, I will be showing you the products by shop/store where we got them. You'll get what I mean below :) 698 Mall If I remembered it right, this Mall is located at the back of Lucky China Town Mall just beside Tiong Se Academy. It's a 3 story Mini Mall where all goodies are sold on their 1st and 2nd floor, 3rd floor is off limits :) Guys, I'm telling you, all items in this place are dirt cheap! Added to that, almost all "As Seen on TV" products can be found here:) Cellphone Ring/Stand- Php 23 I just recently used this Cellphone Ring/Stand and I must say that it made my YouTube viewing a lot easier :) This item right here also helps prevent your phone from falling off your face when you're extremely sleepy but still choose to do something with your phone. You just have to insert your finger in the ring and you're good to go :) Card Knife- Php 28 This one's actually for Gio, my boyfriend. While I was busy looking for some treasures in 698 mall, he decided to do the same and saw this affordable card knife on the counter/cashier area. We already used this and was impressed to find out that it does function well. Engraver- Php55 I bought this engraver for my Kuya because he loves doing crafts. I just thought this will make his creations more unique and personalized. He was unable to try this one yet, though. I'll update this post once we get this engraver to work. By the way, this doesn't come with a battery so you have to purchase 2 pcs. AA batteries. Puller- Php 23 Ahmm, should I explain why I got this? haha. I believe most of you ladies know how important it is to have a well groomed brow, correct ? :) Taiwan False Lashes #217- Php 45 I've seen a number of Divisoria Haul videos on YouTube and most of the false lashes featured are priced at Php 80-100. On my end however, I managed to get them half of that said price range! :) Thanks to Anne Clutz for letting me discover 698 Mall :) String Cable Cord- Php 3 each This one's basic. Gio got this for his mobile phone's charger. Buying a new iPhone charger to replace a broken one isn't a very good idea since we all know how pricey it is. Prevention is always better than cure :) PS- NO BRAGGING MEANT HERE. Cotton Balls- Php 28 each Huge Cotton Roll- Php 50 I swear, no hoarding happened! :) I believe there's nothing wrong to pick up loads of cotton especially if they are sold on a very affordable price. Besides, cotton is an everyday necessity for me and my family :) Now, let's move on to our next stop, 168 Mall :) 168 Mall 168 Mall is quite a famous mall in Divisoria alongside 999 Mall. They actually stand just beside each other :) These 4 tops below are the clothes I got from a shop on the 2nd floor of the Mall. The owner is an old Chinese woman with a very good customer service skill :) Pull Over- Php 90 Nice print and good quality pull over for only Php 90. Not a bad purchase at all :) Blue Top- Php 90 I absolutely adore this top! Its material has details which I cannot really describe so I'll just show a pic below :) The image above doesn't really give justice how beautiful this top is, but let me tell you that this can be worn for both casual and semi formal wear. Blue Top Cloth Detail Grey w/ Black Detail Plus Size Blouse- Php 90 I intentionally bought this one for myself to be paired with leggings on casual lazy days. However, I realized that Mama may like this so I decided to give it to her :) It was a good decision at the end of the day as the this top looked better on her than on me. Grey w/ Lavender Floral Detail Plus Size Blouse- Php 90 This one is for Mama :) When I bought this, I was actually unsure if she would like the design but I still bought it because of the lavender flower details. Good thing she was just cool and okay with this :) Now let's move on to the things we got from a different stall still on the 2nd floor of 168 Mall. I believe the stall can be found in Pasilio D. VR Box- Php 500 Gio has been itching to get his hands on a VR Box for the longest time. So when he saw a lot of VR Boxes being sold in Divi, he did not let his chance pass :) Up to this writing, I haven't heard complains from Gio regarding this gadget so I believe we're all good :) Mushroom Brush- Php 90 Sorry if it's a little dirty :) I used this brush a couple of days ago and haven't washed it yet. :) This brush has created a buzz in the beauty community for quit some time now and I did my very best to stop myself from purchasing one online. Its price range which starts at Php 150- Php 400 plus shipping fee is just a huge amount of money for me. Well, I'm glad I did because I managed to snatch a mushroom brush in Divisoria for Php 90 only :) I've used this a couple of times now and it really does well in blending my BB cream and liquid foundation. However, I noticed that this brush isn't very helpful in achieving a full coverage foundation. Paddle Brush- Php 80 Just like the mushroom brush, this paddle brush has been on the spotlight in the beauty community for the past months. Some did like it and some didn't. On my end, I only use this paddle brush to set my under eye area with a lose powder and it does the job well. The circumference of the brush is quite small that's why I haven't used it yet to apply my foundation as I'm pretty sure it will take some time :) White Slip-On Shoes- Php 350 Mama and I have been looking for a white Slip-On shoes for her and to be honest, it was quite a difficult task to do. So you can only imagine how happy I was when I saw this pair in Divisoria, right? :) Yes, this may be a bit expensive (for me) but it looks and feels sturdy plus it has this red detail which is Mama's favorite color :) Polo Shirt- Php 200 Now this one's for Papa :) Papa can be a little picky when it comes to the material of the clothes he wears. He always wants it to be comfortable. As what he always say, "'Yong makakahinga 'yong katawan ko, 'yong malamig sa balat". Basically, he wants a shirt that has a light material; something that's not too thick to keep him cool :) It was a success when he gave me a thumbs up the first time he wore this :) So those are all the items we got from 168 Mall. Now let's move on to our 3rd stop, 999 Mall :) 999 Mall We didn't have enough time to roam around 999 Mall so we just decided to immediately go to Left To Vary since we really intended to buy some clothes there. Lucky us when we found out that they were running a BUY TWO TAKE ONE promo during our visit :) Left to Vary is located on the 5th floor of 999 Mall and can only be accessed via elevator. Low Cut Plain Black Top- Php 50 You can never go wrong with black :) This top is made with a thin material making it perfect for hot humid days. I have worn this several times and it's just perfect to be paired with shorts and/or skinny jeans :) Regular Black Top- Php 50 I told you, you can never go wrong with black :) This one though is made with a thicker material; not flimsy at all. Plus Size Blue Dress- Free It looks black on the picture but I swear it's dark blue :) I already bought 2 clothes so I got this one for FREE! :) This may not be on its perfect condition but wearing this wouldn't make you look less decent :) I love pairing this with my white rubber shoes which you will see below :) Casual Shirt- Php 50 This shirt is for Gio which he plans to wear during "Dress Down" days in his office. Just like the first black top above, this has a very light and thin material perfect for commuting in MRT, if you get what I mean haha. 3/4 Low Cut Blouse- Php 50 I already wore this once with black tube bra underneath and black leggings. I also paired it with nude strappies and it gave me a perfect casual OOTD :) Boxer Shorts- FREE Boxer shorts dominated with lavender color? Why not? :) Grey T-Shirt- Php 100 Picked this one for Gio and he liked it :) He has been wearing this almost nonstop and even plans to go back to Divi without me :( to get another one either with the same color or a different one. Off White V-neck- Php 100 My fellow chubby girls out there know how round collars make us look more chubby. Now you know why I got two V-neck lose tops :) Pink V-neck- FREE Another V-neck shirt for me :) This has a thinner material compared to the grey one. iPhone Protector/Case- Php 220 Gio's an NBA fan. So aside from the VR Box, he was also in a hunt of an "NBA-ish" phone protector/case. This was a little pricey but he liked it so we just really had to buy it :) Now on to our 4th stop, Lucky China Town Mall :) Lucky China Town Mall When we were in Lucky China Town, our Divisoria budget is about to "disappear" haha. However, I badly need to get this pair below :) White Canvass Shoes- Php 188 This was the purchase that made me happy the most :) White sneakers/rubber shoes whatever you call it is quite "in" these days. Well, even if it isn't "in", I have always wanted to have a pair of plain white shoes and I got one in a very affordable price without compromising the quality. What more can I ask for?? :) DIVISORIA NIGHT MARKET Divisoria malls close as early as 6-7 PM and as the malls start to close, Divisoria night market comes to life :) Black Polo Shirt- Php 180 This one is for my Kuya. He loves black and he loves polo shirt so I got him this :) This polo shirt though doesn't really looked like it's priced at Php 180 only. Again, the photo doesn't give justice on how decent this polo shirt looks like. Sando- Php 150 for both I got these fashionable sandos for my cousin. Not only that he can wear this during basketball games but he can also wear this with pants or cargo shorts plus sneakers if he wants to :) Handkerchief- Php 100 for 5pcs Last but definitely not the least are these hankies. These are one of the basic necessities of me and my brother. Besides, who does not bring hanky at work or at school? I guess none? :) Alright! so those hankies wrap up this Divisoria Haul post. Writing this made me wanna go back to Divi. I just love how almost everything can be found there at a very affordable price. Divi can actually borrow SM's tag line- "We've got it all for you!" :) I just wish there's a Divisoria like place here in Cebu (sigh). Anyhow, thank you so much for reading!
See you on my next Divisoria Haul! :) |
