ON MERCURY DRUGSTORE ONLINE

As one of my friends will be going home within the next two weeks, my father asked me if I could send some of their medications through my friend. As I am now SO into online shopping, I checked out if Mercury Drugstore has a website and if I could order online. To my surprise, they do have an online store.

I immediately checked out if they have my parents' medicine available in their site and yes, they have it. However, you cannot check out the price of the drugs. It's like you have to order first and give all the information about the sender, receiver, credit card details and the amount of medicine that you want to order. After filling up all of those things, the price will still not be shown. Instead you either have to confirm immediately or ask for the price first before processing your order.

So, I chose to check out the price first. When I clicked the "SUBMIT" button, the window was immediately redirected to a new one saying "Thank you for your order, etc.." There was no confirmation sent by the website that they have received my order because it was in the 2 in the morning when I sent my order. So I have to wait for Monday to come for their confirmation.

Then Monday came. I immediately checked my email to see if there is any confirmation from Mercury Drugstore. What a relief! The confirmation is there and they were asking if I want to proceed with my order or not. I made some amendments to my order and asked them to send me the changes first before proceeding with my order, and they did just that. They were also prompt in answering any queries that you might have.

Here comes the best part. I haven't told my old folks back home that they just need to collect their medicines from Mercury Drugstore yet, though it was already available since Tuesday. When I called them yesterday to give them the details, I was surprised to know that they have already collected their medicines because it was Mercury Drugstore who called them.

So for those of you guys who are out of the country or even those who live far from your old folks, try ordering online from Mercury Drugstore. Check out their site here.

This definitely will not be the last time that I will order from them.

Till next post.

Nighty night!

ON MY COASTAL SCENTS LOOT

Yesterday this arrived:

Yey! It's my brushes from Coastal Scents.

I thought I ordered the synthetic ones, but I got the ones from the goat fur! Eeeewww! I hate the smell of it! I am thinking of caldereta every time I smell it.

And these are my scoops which I am now using to transfer my samples to my jars! Yey!

And of course, my freebies. Mind you the golden one is more than 1.4 g! Yipee!

Of course I haven't tried any of these yet because I don't have the time. Reviews later! My brushes are still on the line after I have washed it with my daughter's shampoo!

Nighty night...

ON JULIETA FONTANILLA

She's less than 5 feet tall, nearlly 60 years old, morena, simple compared to all other mommies there who would still want to look as fresh as possible and very outspoken. She is not the "sosyal" type of mother who would still apply tons and tons of foundation and makeup to her face, but instead she would rather go out wearing her own natural beauty which I must admit is still there even with those wrinkles on her face.

She was the one who spent sleepless nights just watching over me and who did everything in her capacity just to make sure that I will be able to finish my studies.

She's the one who unselfishly prioritized my well being first before herself or anything else in the world.

Her name is Julieta Manalo Fontanilla.

She is my mother.

...And I love her so much!

Happy mother's day, Ma!

ON MY EVERYDAY MINERALS HAUL

I received a call from the PO today telling me that my haul from Everyday Minerals has arrived! I immediately rush to the PO with my daughter and hubby to pick it up.

The package was sent on 25 March 2009 and it only arrived today. I really don't know if this is the normal delivery period for EDM because it was really long....

Anyway, after receiving the package and after an hour or two in the mall, we went home and opened my package. This is what I got:

Taaa daaaa:

This is the Spring Collection consisting of three eyeshadows, one blush and one eye shadow brush. In their website, it says that there should be one Postcards eyeliner, but it's missing.

This is the Lavender Collection with four eyeshadows and one eye kabuki brush.

This is In the Garden eyeshadow that I really felt in love with in their website, so I ordered one.

My medium bronzer finishing powder.

The 5-piece sampler with three foundations, one blush, and one concealer. This is worth $12.50 if you're going to buy it, but this set is definitely FREE.

And of course my freebies worth $4 each.

I'll give my review after I have tried them on. Still thinking if i'll purchase their Sandcastle collection especially now that they are running a promo. Let's see...

Nighty night...

ON MY FIRST JOPPA GRAB BAG

I received my first Joppa grab bag yesterday along with my 3-piece sampler kit. Iwas so excited when I saw it on my desk and opened the package right away without even putting my bag down.

And these are the things that I got:

Tada...

This is my grab bag and this consists of the following:

FS Olive leaf E/S 1.4 g

FS Majestic E/S 1.4 g

FS Eggnog E/S 1.4 g

FS Dusk E/S 1.4 g

Sample of Buttercream E/S 1/8 tsp in a baggie

FS Dewdrop Blush powder 1.4 g

FS Savannah Blush powder 1.4 g

FS Toffee Simple Radiance 1.4 g

Joppa Gracie

Berry Bliss soap bar

Sugar Plum Lippie

Cotton Candy Lippie

Lip Twist Bare

I ordered a 3-piece sampler kit from Joppa which, to my surprise, turned out to be a 6-piece sampler kit! I don't how it happened or why it happened, but the thing is, I am quite happy that it happened, hehehe.

These are the lippies that are included in the shipment. I am not sure if they are included in the grab bag because they were wrapped separately from the grab bag itself, but hey who cares?

For only $18, I think this is more than what my money's worth.

Till next haul, nighty night!
