Reliving Sweet Memories at SM City Sta. Mesa's 3-Day SALE

Tweet

SM City Sta. Mesa (or SM Centerpoint for the legit babies of this mall) holds a lot of beautiful memories for me.

You see, it's the mall my family and I always go to on weekends when I was a kid. We hear mass here before doing our grocery and eating at the now defunct Cindy's. It's the first mall where I got to hangout with my friends on 6th grade, the first mall I went on a date in, my first facial (good old Dermclinic), my first hair treatment and foot spa (David's Salon), and a lot more. This is where my best friend and I hangout when I was at my darkest place. This is our neighborhood mall. When I was younger, you have to hangout here to be cool. I'm quite sentimental about this place, can't you tell? :)

This weekend (August 16, 17 and 18), SM City Sta. Mesa is having their 3-Day SALE. YES. I always go there whenever they're having a sale event. It's very accessible from my place: a tricycle ride away. This time I went there by myself, so I really got to reminisce about the good old times I've had in this cozy mall. :)

I distinctly remember having my first sandwich from Wendy's. They also had a salad bar back then, which my family really loved. I also had a few dates here, so it was very nostalgic for me. Haha! Wendy's wasn't really a budget-friendly fast food chain. I usually have to spend 250-350 for a good meal. But now, with the intention of expanding their market, they finally have Budget Meals. They have delicious and filling meals that go for as low as PHP49. But don't be deceived with the price; they still ensure that they only serve real, fresh and high quality food. Their interiors was also different back then compared to the modern and open design they have right now. 

What I always do to my frosty and fries. ;)

Whenever Christmas is around the corner, my Mama will bring me to this mall and we'll buy dresses for me to wear for Christmas parties and the holidays. Actually, we bought most of stuff from this mall when I was a kid: clothes, shoes, school supplies, etc.

Now that we have a baby in the house (not mine, but he certainly looks like me), so I try to give him what I got when I was his age. He's our super kulit but cute angel (just like I was. Still is, actually. Hahaha!) 

Now as a beauty enthusiast, I really can't leave a mall without checking out the beauty department. I actually came prepared with a list (that I sticked to, mind you. Proud of myself. LOL). I managed to stay within budget; I can only spend PHP1.5K so I can avail of the 10% discount on my total (thanks to my SM Advantage Card). 

Celeteque products and other awesome brands are on sale! It was my Mama who introduced me to Celeteque years ago. My Mama takes care of her skin really well, which I think she tried (and successfully) instigated on me and my sister. Had to get their moisturizer again since I'm running out of it.

Well hello there, my beloved acne treatment! Call me biased, but I really dig this brand. I'm not just saying this because I'm one of their Online Brand Ambassadors. I really believe in what they're offering to the market and I highly suggest you give them a try. :)

My sister and I used to collect IN2IT eyeshadow palettes because they're very pigmented and easy to use. I believe I used their green palette for a pageant I joined in HS. Hahaha!

I really, really love and believe in IN2IT. Not just the products, but in their people. They have the nicest sales ladies, ever. They're bubbly, accommodating and wouldn't mind giving you a makeover. I always leave their counter with something in my hand because they almost always have new products to try. They have the best eyebrow powder and pencils, in my opinion.

What I bought:

A gift that I got for reaching the PHP1.5k minimum and including this Dove conditioner in my loot.

So that was a day of reminicsing my fondest childhood memories. I truly had fun reliving some of them. SM City Sta. Mesa is a special place for me. Shopping during their 3-Day SALE weekend just made it merrier for the shopaholic in me. ;)

SM City Sta. Mesa is having their 3-Day Sale event until August 18. You still have until Sunday to take advantage of this sale! Don't miss it!

SM City Sta. Mesa's 3-Day SALE - Fashion and Beauty Haul

Tweet

A new season is fast approaching. The weather is getting a little bit warmer, so a wardrobe updating is a must. Because I try to be practical and more sensible when I shop, I choose to buy the season's essentials when there's a sale. Good thing SM City Sta. Mesa is having their 3-Day SALE event this weekend! This is the chance to score my perfect summer essentials at discounted prices! :)

When I go on sale events such as this, I always gravitate into shoes.

As we all know, shoes can get quite expensive, which is understandable. We need durable and stylish shoes to wear everyday, especially when you have to walk a considerable distance when you go to work.

Celine, Payless and Jellybean are just some of the stores in SM City Sta. Mesa that are offering huge discounts on some fabulous shoes you can wear this (or any) season!

Of course, how can not check out SM Department Store?

I'm particularly a fan of SM Parisian Shoes and Bags. I think they have good quality for their price, and they're pretty stylish too. 

SHOPPING TIP:

To get the best bargains, check out the hallways right outside SM Department Store.

They have stalls there that stores items in huge discounts! They have so much discounted items that they had to put them outside. From shoes, bags, luggages to household items, they have it on sale!

MY HAUL: 

If you're a follower of my blog (hopefully you are), you know I love shopping in the SM Girls' Teens Wear Department. Yes, despite my plump physique, I manage to find dresses and tops in this department that fits me. ;) I also found a fab skirt in the SM Ladies Fashion Department. :)

I've been using 2 Majolica Majorca products (Lash & Brow Tint and Automatic Liner) for quite some time now, and I absolutely love them. Since the Department Store is offering discounts, especially on big purchases (P1500 and up, with SMAC), I thought this is the best time to purchase the products that I want from this brand. I bought their face primer (Skin Lingerie Pore Cover), powder blush (Puff De Cheek) and their powder foundation (Skin Remaker Pore Cover). 

 

 My Best Bargain Buy 

 I chose this as my Best Bargain Buy because the luxurious and decadent gold casing came in practically FREE. Yes, FREE. This set will usually cost P1500 (the refill and sponge for P1,050 and casing for P450).

Now how much did I have to spend to get this set? A whopping P1,050 only.

From P1500 to P1,050! That's like a 30% discount, and I love it!

The SM City Sta. Mesa 3-Day SALE is happening this weekend. You still have until Sunday to grab a chance in getting awesome items in huge discounts, so hurry!
