Part 2: Half The Price Clothing Collection Haul!

I've been bored to death this semestral break that's probably why I am here today. And oh, by the way, I changed my blog template to a simple one because most of my gadgets on the sidebar seem to not be working well. Please, help me find a website designer or developer so I can purchase a new customized layout! I can't really do html thing blah.

Moving forward, I really do hope everybody's doing well and are safe especially with this typhoon Lawin going on and such. To provide a little entertainment here especially to those who are self-proclaimed shopaholic and fashionistas out there, let me share to you my recent HTP clothing haul which I got from their previous collection! Please note that this post is not in anyway sponsored. As such, clothes are bought with my own money. I did not purchase everything on the main shop though, some were from resellers, others were swapped etc. Anyway, I'll just say where I get them when we get there! Lol.

And now for my haul! Sorry if I was just making you see the teaser as I can't let you see the whole outfit so you would not know it's it when you see me wear them lol. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but, oh well.

Pull-On Pocket Skirt, P250

This pocket skirt is something that I think would go well with almost anything be it crop top, sweater, tees, etc because of its chic yet sporty look. However, it looks quite large for my body frame so I am just selling it. Should HTP come up with smaller sizes, bam, I wouldn't miss it for the world!

Elephant Romper, P260

With the romper trend, I'm starting to feel that what people like about them is how convenient they are to wear everyday. With this, you get a pair already so you save time looking for top and bottom. So you guessed, I jumped into the bandwagon and bought myself this. The fabric of this romper, which happened to be challis, is super soft to the touch. It is something you can wear comfortably with the humid weather we have in the Philippines.

White Lace Top, P199

This top really looks elegant with the lace and lining though I prefer it more in darker shades rather than looking so pure in white. I really hope HTP would produce it in different shades like off-white or camel maybe?

Letters Bodycon Dress, P150 (on sale)

The overall print of this bodycon dress looks so casual at the same time very stylish. The fabric is thick and is not super stretchy that you wouldn't lose the figure. I could imagine myself wearing this with a denim polo or jacket or probably a gray cardigan over it.

Navy Blue Tie Cutout, P150

I had to buy this top because it was love at first sight--what I felt for it. Every cut seem so stylishly seamed, even the fabric is of good quality! I bet when purchased on malls, it is worth a thousand more!

White BKK Tee, P149

When buying clothes, I cannot just get myself to choose style over comfort. That is why I always keep something basic like a wear-everyday tees on my closet for lazy days. Good thing, HTP sells this high quality v-neck top in color white. I got the large one because I know it will feel a lot more comfortable when worn. Did you know that I prefer loose over fit?

Navy Blue Georgette Off-Top, P199

This top has a good quality fabric, even the design could certainly pass mall standard. I don't know what else to say. I love this off-shoulder top with its georgette fabric! So classy and fab!

Knit Pocket Blazer, P250

This knit pocket blazer is so in! This reminds me very well of fall where people dresses with knits and sweaters. Sadly, we're not gifted with fall. Anyway, for people like me who loves fall clothing, this is your ultimate life saver! Because it does not come with fitted long sleeves (3/4/ or 3/5 only), it still feels okay even during hot days. And I believe that it's a really exclusive design, I did not see anything alike before! Unique!

Off White Knit Tee, P199

I got this knit tee from a fellow Instagram seller when we swapped items. You know...the idea of swapping things so you acquire new things in return. Well, apparently, they could be preloved stuff but I think this one is new when I got it. What can I say, I love it! I would trade most of my items to have this!

"Uniqlo" Fabric Top, P199

At first, I thought I would not like it upon seeing it worn by one of the HTP models. I think it will not fit me but lo and behold! It's got the softest fabric I have touched, it feels so cool on skin and stretches like meters! Truly like a Uniqlo top! Super good quality indeed! I love it!

White U-Neck Tee, P140

There's actually one more but the photograph fails to be uploaded. Anyway, the last top is in color white with a neoprene fabric. The fit was awesome, the fabric too, gosh, it just wears comfortably and I like it so much!

If you notice, all the stuff I bought were in neutral shades, none of those bright, colorful clothes, because I just feel like it. I want white and black and gray, blue, yes, because for me, they look so classy even when they are just basics.

Some of the stuff I bought from HTP were not here since I have been selling them online either because they do not look good/does not fit on me or I changed my mind about even wanting them on my closet. By the way, you could see them when you visit my Instagram (@fashbeaubyhanna) and Shopee (@hannapoleng) accounts.

Part 1: Half The Price Clothing Collection Haul!

Hi, guys! So lately, I stopped buying skin care and makeup products because I have to punish myself for the delay in reviewing sponsored products. This is also another way to ensure that nothing is left to promises. As promised, I would be doing reviews to each of the products my generous sponsors gave me. Anyway, I thought I could refrain myself from spending much, but here I am buying more clothes than usual. Heck, I can't help jumping into the bandwagon every time fashion enthusiasts would hurry to comment mine from the HTP collection just to get first dibs on their quality pieces of clothing and which are also considered to be exclusively sewn pieces. Seriously, I can't help stopping myself from doing anything for an hour just to focus on commenting "Mine" on their clothes.

For your information, HTP or Half The Price is a booming Instagram shop catering to fashionistas out there! They sell not just high quality products but trendy pieces as well for a cheaper price! They also have different collections every week and only upload them every 8:00 PM of Saturday and Sundays. If you never wanna miss out on their "steal" items, better hurry in reserving yours seconds after publishing their post! Sometimes, no, most of the time, it only takes 5 seconds for them to get sold out. Here, you will be able to exercise your ninja skills. Lol. Anyway, without further ado, here are the pieces I got from them from the recent collections. I will be including the prices for your reference.

Long Back Tee, P150

Stars Pullover, P220

White Leotard, P110

Light Pink Batwing Pullover, P210

Red Striped Crop Top, P120

(Bought from Shopee)

Blue Tie Gartered Shorts, P150

Floral Pullover, P180 (Bought from Shopee)

Light Pink Ribbed Crop Top, P150

Checkered Cutout Top, P150

Red Striped Basic Tee, P180

Boxy Tee, P170 (Bought from Shopee)

Striped Trapeze Top, P180

Mint Pocket Hoodie Top, P250 (Bought from Shopee)

I will be posting my Part 2: Half The Price Clothing Collection Haul once I got hold of my latest purchases from them. Hoho! By the way, these are not yet everything I have right now, a couple of tops are already in the laundry, some, however, are open for reservations. Just because I am selling them does not mean that I don't like them any less, they wouldn't just fit me well. Too big for girls with petite frames, I guess. Anyway, that's all! Til my next post! Happy blogging!

Cheap Finds Series: Clothing Haul July 2016

Last month, I went on a mini shopping (let's exclude all the makeup and skincare), partly because I seriously have nothing else to wear beside my favorite basics and partly because I am stressed with all the school stuff and such. I am the type of person kasi who prefers to wear simple and comfortable pieces of clothing. I don't mean the outdated ones though. But I am still careful in what I wear especially since I started blogging. I like to look stylish in a conservative way, if you know what I mean.

High Waist Jeans (P240 each)
Bought from: @herdreamfactory on Shopee

The first on my list are high-waist jeans--definitely one of the trendiest nowadays. I got them from Shopee (@herdreamfactory) when I spotted them on sale at 56% off! Originally one pair of pants retails for over P500 but I got them for only P240 the reason I purchased two in royal blue and light blue. My friend got two as well, except she got a black one and a royal blue.

Chicabooti Dress (P379)
Bought from: Chicabooti

 The moment I saw this dress, I immediately imagine myself wearing this on a beach season because it is backless. It is just that I don't wear revealing clothes as is. Either I wear a cardigan on top or a fitted long sleeves under. I was just so lucky to get this at no over P400 when its original price is P800 something!

Printed Romper (P379)
Bought from: Chicabooti

I am currently into printed pieces so I got this one. I don't know but I think this romper suits me well and I just can't leave the shop without it. I even fitted this thrice! My goodness!

Gray Cardigan (P379)
Printed Cropped Top (P279)
Bought from: Chicabooti

For me, gray can go with any colored top or dress, what do you think? It's mainly the reason why I got this. I can instantly put this on top of my clothes and off I go. The cropped top, on the other hand, feels super comfortable when worn so I think I could rely on it on my lazy days. Plus, it's got a nice fabric, neither thin nor thick.

Striped Turtle Neck Top (P279)
White Muscle Tee (P99)
Bought from: Chicabooti (1st), Artwork (2nd)

I think the first top is a simple yet very stylish top that can go effortlessly sexy with anything--be it jeans, shorts, skirts, etc. It's got a woven fabric which does not feel warm when worn. The white muscle tee, on the other hand, is my favorite since it's got a statement which I definitely can relate to! I love writing and I am so lucky to get the last piece of this from Artwork! Both are also on sale so hoard much! Ahm, all the stuff I got were on sale, by the way!

And those are the collective cheap/on sale clothes I got last July! Care to share yours? Weeee!

My Mid-year Haul Collection! (Whoops, Bench, iWhite Korea, Eskinol, SkinWhite, A Bonne)

My life this past couple of weeks involved window-shopping, stalking for new products and of course hoarding things to test them out. It’s because we previously lost our internet connection so I always get bored. Initially, I spent half of my June savings for some products and pieces of clothing that I might need for school.

We all know that June-July is the midyear so sale on goods are here and there. If you are a fashion/beauty junkie, I definitely would not have to remind you of this. Hahaha! So yeah, I believe that I should not let these months pass without hoarding some of the things from my wish list.

From L-R: Pants from Whoops at PHP399
Couple of Pants from Bench at PHP399/ea
Nail Polishes from San San ranging between PHP36-PHP45
iWhite Korea Bundle Packs (Moisturizing Facial Wash at PHP139, Whitening Peel-off Mask at PHP199, Aqua Moisturizing Cream at PHP169, Facial Cream at PHP179)
Eskinol Facial Wash and Scrub at PHP5/ea
Skin White Lotion at PHP19.50
A’Bonne Spa Milk Salt at PHP74

Whoops Pants at PHP399

The first thing from my wish list is pants. I have at least ten pairs of it but they have grown quite big for me already. Maybe it was because of the way they were washed that they don’t fit me well any more. So that’s why I had to buy some. I target high-waists pants or those that have rips on them but when I saw this at the mall at more than fifty percent off (from P1195 to P399), I immediately went to the fitting room and got my size. I bought the blue one first on size twenty-five but soon figured out that it’s quite fitted on my legs so I exchanged it for a size twenty-six and in this color. I think the one I tried on was tried at least a hundred times hahaha! Whoops are still on sale, by the way. They have pants in huge variety of colors and sizes at P399, P499 and buy 2 for P1200.

Bench Colored Pants at PHP399/ea

More pants!!! Bench as we all know is one of the most successful and popular local brands we have here in the Philippines. So when I found out on their Facebook page that they will have their colored pants at fifty percent off, I seriously had to run to the mall and buy these two. I got one in maroon and one in blue. And they are for PHP399 (from PHP799) each as well! I regret buying the other pants from Whoops and hoped that I should have dropped by Bench first so I would not have to buy the other pants and spend my P399 instead on the gray pants from Bench. Ugh!

And now, here's my iWhite Korea product hauls!

iWhite Korea Whitening Pack at PHP199 for 95g tube
(with two sachets of teir facial cream)

You can read my iWhite Korea Whitening Pack review here.

iWhite Korea Aqua Moisturizing Cream at PHP169 for 50 tube ml
(with one sachet of facial cream and one sachet of nose pack)

You can read my iWhite Korea Aqua Moisturizing Cream review here.

iWhite Korea Mositurizing Facial Wash at PHP139 for 70ml tube
(with one sachet of nose pack and whitening pack)

You can read my iWhite Korea Moisturizing Facial Wash review here.

iWhite Korea Facial Cream at PHP179 for 65ml tube (New packaging)

You can read my iWhite Korea Facial Cream review here.

I am an avid beauty junkie, as you can tell. I still have lots of unused face products on my stash, but I feel like I had to buy some more. iWhite products has been on my wish list for a long time now and I’m really happy that I was able to buy them now. I’ve been using the peel-off mask but I only buy those in sachets. So it’s my first time to buy them on tube. I’ve used the facial wash before because it was included on one of the promo pack I bought back then but I was still in grade school that time and I haven’t even started blogging yet and I already forgot how that facial wash works so it’s my time to use it again together with the other iWhite products. I’m actually quite excited for my review post!

I also think that I’ve been an impulsive buyer again but when I really saw iWhite products on bundle packs, there’s no time for thinking twice in buying them. I can tell that these are the old package and they are re-packaging but I don’t care since they still have the same active ingredients and contents are still the same.

The tube for the face cream above is the example for the new iWhite Korea packaging. I’m planning to buy its bundle pack but there’s no more stock so I had to buy the new one and they are more expensive than the old ones.

Stocks are very limited so if you want iWhite products at lesser prices (bundle packs) with free sachets of their other products, I suggest you hurry to the nearest Watsons/department stores in your area now.

A Bonne' Spa Milk Salit at PHP74 for 350g

I’ve been reading good reviews about it so I bought one for me to try out. It wasn’t really expensive so I was surprised. I also think that it would be a good substitute for St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub for a fraction of its price. It wasn’t on sale, but who cares? I wanted it and it’s one thing from my wish list as well. Read my A Bonne' Spa Milk Salt review here.

From L-R: San San Top and Base Coat at PHP36 for a 12 ml bottle;
San San Nail Polishes in Blue Sapphire and Purple Topaz at PHP37 and PHP45 for a 12ml bottle

I didn’t bought them from the mall but I had to include them in my mid-year purchases. Watch out for my review about the San San Top and Base Coat!

From L-R: Eskinol Pimple Fighting Facial Wash at PHP5 for a 6ml sachet;
SkinWhite Advanced Whitening Lotion at PHP19.50 for a 10ml sachet;
Eskinol Papaya Smooth White Facial Scrub at PHP5 for a 6ml sachet

I bought it from the HBC store together with the nail polishes as part of my facial wash review. On the other hand, I bought the SkinWhite Lotion because I think it’s for the face but when I got home, I figured out that it’s a lotion. For the body!!! Anyway, will post a blog review about facial washes in the Philippines soon!

How about you? Have you bought something during the mid-year sale? Bought iWhite Bundle packs or pants on sale? You can share it here with me! Happy blogging!

Love, Hanna
