Inside the mind of a woman

I first saw the store while going around Glorietta. The store looked expensive. Since I was a frequent shopper at Beauty Bar, I could just imagine the prices that this store’s wares cost. I did not attempt to even browse as that time I was broke and payday was still eons away.

Yesterday, while waiting for sweetie to finish his shoot, I was left to stroll around the Eastwood City Mall for quite a while and so I did. A brightly-lit store with white walls beckoned to me. I walked over and discovered it was The Face Shop. A cosmetics store much like Body shop or Beauty Bar.

I intended to just browse around to look at what they had and to see how expensive it really was. I was disappointed. All the stuff they sold were very much affordable. Their lipglosses cost from P195 up. Their tube foundation and makeup base cost about P300++. Their most expensive item were just short of P1000. What the??

My insides were jumping with joy. I have been looking for an alternative to my expensive cosmetics stock and here was one so affordable yet catered to my exact needs.

I tried out the foundation and it came on smooth on my skin – not at all greasy. Their lip gloss was divine and perfect for my skin tone! Plus – their makeup (and skincare items) come in cool packaging! How about that? Definitely a thumbs up!
