First Glance @ Forever21, Makati

After attending an uber FUN Clinique Party last April 16, 2011, in the mood ako i-rampage ang made-up version ko. Sina Liz at Mara papuntang Glorietta 5 nun e. May bonding moment pa ata sila after, nahiya naman ako sumama kaya gumora na lang akong SM Makati. I must say SM Makati's beauty counter is a haven for newbie or pro-make-up & beauty enthusiasts. Lots of brands to choose from. ♥ I stayed quite long sa Majolica Majorca counter. Attracting ang pastel-colored counter nila e hihi.


Anyway, after mag-try try ng make-up & stuff, naisipan ko na ring pumasyal sa Forever21 store bilang di ko pa nakikita yung store nila dito sa Makati. And below are the "takas" shots I got inside the store.


They have LOTS of floral stuffs that are really "IN" this season. From bags.... 

i seriously love this one ♥♥♥

PINK + ♥-shaped lock = ♥

... to accessories:

shades

belts

earrings

..to shoes for the FIERCE ladies:

..and shoes for the girlie ones:

I totally love this floral fedora. Eto lang ang kaisa-isang nasukat ko sa entire visit ko dun (Rants to follow. haha.)

Face: Clinique's Perfectly Real Make-up (forgot kung True Beige/Sunny)

Clinique's Blended Face Powder Invisible blend

Lips: Clinique lipstick in Tropical Corale

MUA: Ms. Vannie from the Clinique Party

..and look at these mannequins, ang galing ng nag-style. hihi:

tea house party

dress na shorts

What I love:

- NOT as big as F21, Mega but pretty the same collection as what you can see in Mega

- more accessible for me since I leave in Makati-area only. haha >:)

- friendly salespersons & kuya guard. haha. kahit nasita ako ni kuya guard dahil sa pasaway kong pagkuha ng ficture, he told me naman na bawal in a friendly way. :)) nahiya tuloy ako. LOL. hindi niya lang alam, andami ko nang nakuha haha. *evil laugh* >:)

What I don't love:

- super ONTI at SMALL FITTING ROOMS. OA ang haba ng pila to think hindi pa SALE nung nagpunta ko. Pano na lang kung SALE diba? They should really add fitting rooms, noh? At dahil tinamad na ko makipila, wala akong nasukat na damit. :(

- lacks MIRRORS. In a fashion boutique like this, necessary ang mirrors para you can check how the accessories look pag suot mo na. Habang nasa accessories section ako, it's quite hard na ipagsiksikan ang sarili mo sa uber PAYAT na mirror sa walls nila. Check this:

Eyffort diba?

They have circular hand-held mirrors for shades but still, it's quite SMALL. Walang mejo matabang mirror. hihi. ;))

TIPS: 

- Grab different sizes of the same piece na lang when you fit para less pabalik-balik sa fitting room.

- Almost always kase I find the Mega branch "crowded" or madaming tao. Kaya if you prefer lesser people, you might also go here na lang. :)

- Go on a weekday. Goodluck sayo sa longer lines pag weekends. hehe =P

All in all, as what we can expect from F21, they have really nice pieces. But, they have to improve on their store pa. hehe. :)

Will definitely visit the store again since eto na pinakamalapit samin. Magtiis na lang sa mahabang pila & all. haha. At isa pa, as mentioned, laging maraming tao sa mega branch. hehe. ( paulit ulit? LOL. sorreh )
