DIVISORIA HAUL! Makeup Tools, Palettes and more...

Kung gusto mong lumigaya ang iyong buhay, pumunta ka ng Divisoria at mamili ng mura!

You read it right guys! Low on budget but want to get more value for your money? Then Divisoria is one of the places to go. It had always been known for its wide selection of inexpensive goods, bargain & wholesale shopping. You can find almost anything under the sun - clothes, accessories, toys, novelties, decorations, pirated films and music, electronics, fruits, dry goods, school, office and household supplies, fabrics, textiles, crafts, novelties, decorations and of course, one of the things I enjoy the most, are the makeup stuff.

I went there last December, after the Christmas Holidays, to do some shopping and to visit this "698 Mall" that most Youtubers doing Divisoria hauls keep on mentioning. I have not been there before but I heard that the cost of their items are half or less than the prices at the other malls.

For those who don't know where 698 Mall is, its just located at Sta. Elena St., at the back of 168 Mall, beside Lucky China Town Mall. There are stalls at the front but you will have to go inside at the back to find the store where there is an entrance with the security guard and baggage counter at the side. I thought to shop here first because of the low-priced items and whatever I can't find there, I can look for in other malls. I was there at around 8:30 A.M. Isn't that a bit early? Yes, it might sound a bit early but most of the stores and malls at Divisoria are already open starting at 8 A.M. The benefit of going there at that time in the morning is that you can look around without that so many people hustling and rushing. You'll have to leave your bags at the baggage counter and once you're inside, you have to go to the second floor to find their beauty and cosmetic items by going up the stairs located on the right side. I plan to by a few things at first, but ended up buying a lot of stuff. After my shopping spree at 698 Mall, I went to 168 Mall to buy other things that I did not find at 698 Mall.
