It's a rainy Saturday afternoon and I'm taking a break from resting by reading my old blog posts.
2009 me: Rest assured though that I will not hoard makeup products since I do not have any plans to become a professional makeup artist at all.
2019 me: Welp
It is timely that I should come across this now seeing as how I broke a supposed two month makeup-buying ban barely three weeks into it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ELLANA MINERALS WAREHOUSE SALE MADE ME DO IT! On a related note,
that 2009 blog post also chronicles the first time I tried and purchased makeup from Ellana Minerals.
Ellana Minerals is my favorite local makeup brand and I will recommend their products to everyone who would listen. I love everything I have tried from them and the fact that their products are skincare and makeup in one, and I even got to be a face on their old website representing the shade Café Mocha!
Rainy Friday night + Makati = traffic and extra challenge in booking a Grab but my friend/ officemate Jen and I persisted and here is my haul:
I missed out on the brushes (we were told stocks ran out on the first morning of the sale!) but I am so glad I got to restock my favorites, buy backups, and even purchase some items that are no longer being sold online!
 |
Happy shoppers with our Ellana hauls! |
Here's a closer look at the products I got:
 |
Ellana Loose Mineral Foundation in Café Mocha to refill my big Mirror Glass Jar |
 |
Ellana Sheer Velvet Matte Powder and small Mirror Glass Jar to house it in |
 |
Ellana Makeup Brush Cleaner for spot-cleaning my brushes |
 |
Ellana Multipurpose Loose Powders in Caress, Crush, Sensational, and Shine
I'm planning to mix a little Sensational on my Sheer Velvet Powder |
 |
I hit the pan on my Ellana Pressed Mineral Foundation in Café Mocha a long time ago and haven't gotten the chance to restock until now |
 |
Ellana Pressed Multipurpose Powders
Light Roast - a matte cool brown shade that may be used as a contour powder for cheeks and nose, eyeshadow
Butter Rum - an iridescent gold satin shade that may be used as a highlighter for cheeks, nose, and eyeshadow
Flirtation - a matte strawberry pink that may be used as a blush and eyeshadow
Peach Passion - a warm earthy peach shimmer that may be used as a blush, highlighter for cheeks and nose, eyeshadow |
I already have two Gaia Magnetic Palettes to house my Lip Drunk Blushes but I had to get my third one for this:
 |
It looks so neat and pretty yet completely practical! |
I got all these for only a litte over Php2,200! My face and wallet are so happy with beauty that does more, hee. The Ellana Minerals Warehouse Sale is happening until 9 PM tomorrow so if you have the chance, go visit their HQ at 3400 Gen Lim, corner Rodiguez Ave., Bangkal, Makati.

Special bonus when you visit: Ellana Minerals HQ is home to several adopted kitties so you may also see this super adorable cat! |
Ellana also regularly holds special promotions so make sure to follow them on

Now I'll be back to enjoying the rest of my long weekend. I hope you have a restful one!
