Something New: Fly Shades' Mid Year 2013 Collection

How are you AMW friends?  

I received Fly's Mid Year collection for quite some time but due to bad weather, I haven't really got to wear them!  But let me tell you, I have a favorite out of the 3 shades I got!  Tell me yours at the end of this post okay?

AMW Reviews: Bobbi Brown BB Cream SPF 35 PA +++

I've always been a fan of BB Creams made in Korea and Japan.  BB Creams from giant cosmetic brands are okay but I find myself leaning towards the Asian brands.  

NOT UNTIL RECENTLY, I discovered a new BB cream that feels like a BB Cream but coverage is as good as foundation!

Thankfully, I went to The Ultimate BB Cream event or else, I would've picked a wrong BB cream shade!

Something New: Bio-Oil

Several months ago when I was pregnant with Baby Kyle, I Tweeted and asked about the most effective anti-stretch mark products in the market and one of the brand that got a lot of votes is called Bio-Oil.  Since I haven't seen the brand anywhere, I went ahead trying different brands of anti-stretch mark creams and oils.  On the latter part of my pregnancy, I met up with fellow-pregnant college friend Charmie and she handed me none other than my very own Bio-Oil!  She hoarded a couple of bottles in Dubai and gave me one telling me how effective this product was on helping her reduce itchiness from skin dehydration, aside from that, Bio-Oil also helped reduce stretch marks and Linea Nigra (A dark vertical line that appears on the abdomen during pregnancy).

Too good to be true?  

Armed with my first Bio-Oil, I gave it a test immediately when I got home.  But, it was on my latter part of pregnancy so I really can't tell if the product did help reduce the appearance of stretch marks but my initial reactions are as follows ---

AMW Reviews: ZA Perfect Action Mascara Smudgeproof

Dear AMW Friends!  It's Friday once again!  Ahhhh I read a quote on Facebook that goes something like this "Thank God It's Friday..Oh Wait, I'm a mom!" so technically, there are no holidays or weekends for us mommies, so kudos to all mommies out there!  Let's give each other a huge HUG!!! :D

I recently attended a bloggers' gathering for ZA's newest products.  One of the ZA's product that caught my attention, aside from the ZA Perfect Fit Two-Way Powder Foundation is their smudge-proof yet easy-to-remove by warm water called ZA Perfect Action Mascara.  I have used this mascara for a couple of weeks (trust me, you just don't know how crazy I am in testing products!  I wear them even at home!  lol).  Today, finally!  I'm ready to share my review on my first ZA mascara!

That is what September BDJ Box is trying to tell everyone.  With this month's box, you will indeed feel like a princess with all the goodies perfect for pampering!

Excited to know the contents inside?

AMW Reviews: Sleek Gloss Me and Matte Me

Hi AMW Friends!  Are you enjoying the week so far?  I hope so!
Today, I am so excited to share to you a review of 2 unique glosses that I received from Smile of Updated Trends.  Seriously, how many lipglosses can a girl have?  Unlimited?  

Not for me, I'm really not a fan of gloss, I don't know why but I find them too....sheer?  And they seldom last on me especially when I take a sip or 2 of my favorite drink!  (I'm sure you know by now that my drink of choice is Coffee!) :P

Sleek Makeup, an inexpensive, yet good quality makeup brand came up with 2 types of lipglosses called Gloss Me and Matte Me.  The name sounds so cute right?

Check out if the product itself will entice me!

AMW Reports: MAC Indulge Collection

Happy Tuesday AMW Friends!  I hope our Manila-based readers are safe from the strong rain yesterday! 

Today, I will be sharing a report on the recent MAC event I attended a couple of weeks ago for MAC Indulge Collection for Fall 2013.  This collection was launched in the US around August and the rest of the countries like the Philippines had to wait for September (almost October) for the collection to finally arrive!

It is worth the wait!

Though the newest collection from MAC is not meant for my Bridal Clients, BUT, after seeing the collection in person, I have a couple of favorites!  I'll tell you which ones later on!

AMW Bulletin: Thanks Unilever for Grooming our Future-Ready Teens!

I posted about #TeenWeek 2 weeks ago and some of you agreed with me on how we wish we have these types of activities during our teens!  Because I'm not a teen anymore (but feeling teen) :P  I'm more than willing to share what our dear friends from Unilever have in store for our future-ready teens as I know I have some "bagets" readers out there!  *high five!*

Just in case you forgot what #TeenWeek is all about, it is a nationwide week-long program initiated by Unilever Philippines' top brands Pond's, Cream Silk and Rexona.  They aim to develop 1 million teens to be more confident and future-ready!  (I am hoping for more than 1 million!) 

Why?

AMW Reviews: Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Plushest Punch

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
Wow, I can't believe September is almost over and October is coming!  October is my favorite month!  Aside from it's the fact that I have a week holiday from work, it is also our wedding anniversary month!  So we're on to 6th year anniversary soon! :) YAY!

Since we're talking about anniversary and special events, I'd love to share a review on Clinique's newest Chubby Stick called Chubby Stick Intense!  When they labeled this cute crayon-like packaging with the term INTENSE, they really mean it....down to the bones!

The shade I got to try is called Plushest Punch.   

Plushest Punch is described as Raspberry Pink.

Clinique says ---

Tempt lips with a soft cushion of colour that's not quite sheer, not quite opaque-just the perfect happy medium. Loaded with mango and shea butters so lips feel comfortably soft and smooth. Eight vibrant shades in all.

Weekend Food Trip at: King Chef Fine Dining

Before I attended the launch of King Chef Fine Dining 2 years ago, I knew about the restaurant way back and dined at their restaurant during Soft Opening .

Several years after, our family still enjoyed visiting the restaurant as aside from the good location, the restaurant itself is spacious, clean and the servers are always attentive to our needs!

It was my brother's birthday and we've decided to have a simple dinner at King Chef Fine Dining!  

King's Special Crabroe Soup

Small Php320.00 (approx $7.30)

Something New: Lancome Visionnaire Yeux

Hi AMW Friends!
It's Saturday!  Finally, I have a day "off"!  Well, not from being a mom but from all the work-related activities!  I've been out a lot this week and missing my baby so much so I'm definitely bonding with Baby Kyle over the weekend.

Let's talk about skincare, since I have baby AMW with me like a tiny kangaroo inside my "pouch" (translation: I carry him most of the time), I make sure to use "safe" skincare products so I haven't really been taking care of my skin lately!  Now that Baby AMW is growing at 5 months old, I'm getting back to my skincare routine and that MUST include the eye product!  I have used moisturizers again but have skipped eye products so I can definitely see some under eye darkness and puffiness appearing! 

There is something new for me to try from Lancome called Visionnaire Yeux.... I have just started using this product so I can share to you for now is my initial review.

AMW Makeovers: Bea and Claire

Happy Friday!
I am so excited to share another AMW Makeover post, I  haven't done a makeover posts for quite some time but now, I'm back with a vengeance!  I am very thankful that I still get clients even if I was "on leave" for several months after giving birth!  

I got a text message from my dear friend who's currently the Brand Manager of Silka, she asked me to do her makeup on the company's anniversary party!  Who am I to say no?  She has been very supportive of my makeup artistry and I can clearly remember the times I practice my makeup skills on her!  

It has been several years after so I'm really excited to prettify her again!

Bea has always been on a "safe side" in terms of eye shadow shades, it has always been golds and browns so that day, I suggested she gets out of her shell and try on something different, something she doesn't sport much and it's definitely a smokey eye makeup! 

Thankfully, Bea felt the same about the change and gamely asked me to do whatever I think would work for her!  It was a night event so a smoky eye makeup is perfect!

AMW Reviews: BCL 24H Browlash Ex Water Strong W Eyebrow (Natural Brown)

I can never get enough of brow products! 

Anyone feels the same?

Recently, my brother had a quick stopover at Hong Kong prior to coming back to Manila, he messaged me asking me what I need from Sasa (yes, my dear brother shops at Sasa for his darling little sister!)  and you guessed it right --- brow products!

So when I received a nice package from Smile of Updated Trends, I can't help but squeal as she probably read my mind!  I love collecting brow products, from pencils, brow liners to brow gels!  Companies make them?  I want them all! 

So the BCL B&C Browlash Ex Water Strong W Eyebrow is definitely a new brand for me!  The day I received this, I immediately gave this a test even when I was just staying at home!  That's what product reviewers do!  Stay pretty even inside the house *winks* :P

 

AMW Reviews: Hayan BB Cream Perfect Skin Cover

One of the most requested makeup product to be reviewed is BB Cream!  I can't blame you!  I can still recall the time I went BB-crazed!  I was online at Ebay almost all day searching for various BB creams to try!  I started with Major Korean Brands like Etude House, Tony Moly, Skin79, Lioele, The Face Shop, Skin Food, etc...

Then I went ahead trying out western version of BB creams from Estee Lauder, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, etc..

Then there's the Japanese brand called FairyDrops (which I LOVE by the way!)  

Then there's inexpensive brands like Avon, Maybelline...you'll think I'm over with BB creams by now?  NA-AH! 

Recently, Hayan Korea kept in touch with various bloggers to try out their products (that explains why you see a lot of Hayan reviews online), and I'm one of the lucky bloggers who get to try and test their products!  (it wasn't an easy job I tell you especially if we're talking about BB creams!)  So after using this product on and off for a couple of months, I'm finally ready to share my thoughts on this BB cream!

 P.S. "For Crystal Clear Skin" written on box excites me!  I hope it gave the same effect to you!  (Goosebumps and all!) *winks*

AMW Reviews: The Body Shop Lipstick Colour Crush in Coral Kiss

 The Body Shop is a to-go-to brand when it comes to skincare and cosmetics, we all know that by now!  But sometimes, we get swayed by other brands who can offer not only quality products but they are also housed in very cute packaging!  Who can say no to that?

Thankfully, The Body Shop came up with their new lipstick line called Colour Crush, and they may not be housed in cutesy-patootsie packaging, but, they definitely leveled up as I find these more classy to look at!

Check out The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipsticks!

Definitely not boring at all and the cap is the same shade as the lipstick itself!

AMW Reports: Too Cool For School, SM MOA

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
Do you want to go "cyber shop" with me?  I've learned about Too Cool for School (the brand) years ago when I visited Seoul, Korea.  Through my sister-in-law, I learned we already have a branch locally and I'm so lucky their first branch is nearer to where I live, SM Mall of Asia.

Since I was at SM Mall of Asia weeks ago for my Brow Wax session at Benefit Boutique, I've decided to visit Too Cool for School to check out what's new and what's exciting with the brand! 

I will share to you the star products that caught my attention.  To be honest, the store is a bit overwhelming as there are so many products to choose from.  Not to mention, the products are packaged in very cute and unique packaging!  Any girl who is into makeup can easily go crazy inside the store!

Weekend Food Trip at: Lucky Rainbow Seafood Restaurant

Happy Sunday food trip AMW friends!  Today, it's Chinese food galore!  It was hubby's birthday and we've decided to celebrate at Binondo area since we'll be taking the little one with us.  The nearer the better. Lucky Rainbow Seafood Restaurant crossed our minds as we've tried their Xiao Long Bao and Kuchai Dumplings and loved them dearly! 

Xiao Long Bao

4pcs Php98.00 (approx $2.22)

One of the best Xiao Long Bao I've tried to date!  I love how soft the wrapper was yet the soup was remained all inside this tiny pouch!  Lucky Rainbow's version of Xiao Long Bao is very flavorful, each tiny bag is packed with Xiao Long Bao goodness!

Unsung Hero: Physiogel Hypoallergenic Products

Happy Physiogel-Day!

I will be sharing my Physiogel products today and let me tell you, this brand deserves a spot on my y "Unsung Heroes" post as Mr. AMW is a loyal user of Physiogel Cleanser!  (He finished 2 x 300ml in half a year!), I can't believe I didn't blog about this brand yet.  

As for me, I'm starting to use the Lotion variant and Cleanser for Baby AMW!  Will tell you more about more tips on how to maximize the Physiogel usage for the whole family!

AMW Bulletin: #TeenWeekPH

Let's go back to memory lane...it may not be a Throwback Thursday but today is officially the start of #TeenWeekPH so I'm definitely looking back to my wonderful teenage years.

AMW Reviews: Avon Illuminating Face Pearls

Happy Friday AMW friends!

Today, I will be reviewing Avon's most exciting product (according to me and you can't do anything about it!  lol)!  It's the Avon Illuminating Face Pearls! 

Do you know why this excites me?  Because this reminds of the famous Guerlain Meteorites Powder for Face and also my ultimate favorite Paul & Joe Disney Collection Flower Face Color in 002 and the best part?  This is the inexpensive version!  

Are you excited to know how this product looks?

Bobbi Brown's Sea Pearls, Navy & Nude Collection

I first learned about Bobbi Brown's Sea Pearls Collection late last month and guess what?  Just when I thought my lemmings where turned on, they have another collection coming up!  I'll be telling you more about it later.

Sea Pearls Collection

This collection is inspired by the ocean.  According to Bobbi Brown, this collection is a "Delicate washes of color highlight and illuminate the skin."

Paired with an aqua colored eyeshadow, I can imagine this look worn on a date!

Collection includes ---

How to Use K-Palette Real Lasting Mega Cute Double Eyelid (Glue and Tape Type)

Something different with my eyes you say?

Over the weekend, I was one of the lucky bloggers who got an invite to attend the K-Palette Bloggers' Event at Geisha Restaurant.  Everyone's so excited to learn about K-Palette's newest product called Real Lasting Mega Cute Double Eyelid!  Almost everyone (monolids or not) tried the 2 newest products from K-Palette that literally answers "scared-of-surgery-but-wants-to-have-a-nice-crease" problem.

Spa Review: Toccare Spa (2nd Time Around)

Happy Tuesday!

I haven't posted about any Spa places for the past year!  Why?  Well, this lady got pregnant, gave birth, and got super busy with the baby I didn't even have "me" time!  I was just browsing through my Spa reviews recently and long for a nice relaxing massage!  After giving birth, I had one from "Manang Luz" who does home service but the complete wellness package inside the spa is what my body is looking for!

One of the few Spa Places that I tried that left a lasting impression on me is Toccare Spa, feel free to read my first visit last March 2012 HERE.  

Prostyle Fuwarie Curl Styling Mist (For Curly and Bouncy Hairstyle) Review

I have used the Prostyle Fuwarie Hairstyling Mist (For Airy Bob Style) for months now and been loving it!  Having a "bob" look is nice but I missed curling my hair back when my hair was still long!  Now that I'm starting to grow my hair longer for me to be able to style my hair, I've decided to use the Prostyle Fuwarie Curl Styling Mist For Curly and Bouncy Hairstyle!

Okay, my hair is still short so curling it using a small curling iron is not my thing as of the moment, so I've decided to use my 1.5 inch curling iron to create "bouncy" hairstyle instead and I've been doing that each time I let my hair down as pregnancy hormones made my hair limp and boring!

Prostyle Fuwarie says ---

• For Curly and Bouncy Hairstyle.
• Prevents hair burn/blisters.
• Protects hair cuticle from the heat of hair styling tools
• Prevents hair breakage
• Prevents hair discoloration caused by heat.
• Protects against UV rays
• Sets the hair as styled and keeps it curled longer.
• Enhanced with Amino Acid to repair damaged cuticles for beautiful and shiny hair.
• Has a light fruity scent.
• Made in Japan.

Weekend Food Trip at: 26th St. Bistro by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

Close friends would know how much I love coffee!  Going out on a date with my then-boyfriend Mr. AMW always include a quality time at a coffee shop!  I remember sharing to him my dreams of being an English Teacher in China, on learning how to cut hair, on being a professional makeup artist and fast forward to today, my dreams definitely came true!

So going back on a coffee shop with Mr. AMW always gives me a giddy feeling!  That's why when I got an invite from our friends from ROAR Communications (thanks Jenny and Max) for an intimate dinner with fellow bloggers at the 26th St. Bistro by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, I had to clear up my schedule and ask hubby to go out on a date with me!  *winks*  

Who has seen and dined at the biggest Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf branch at Fort Bonifacio?  I love how spacious the interior is and I immediately had the "fine dining" feel the moment I walked in.

What brought me back to my senses is the scent of wonderful coffee!  And of course, the familiar CBTL counter with cakes I LOVE!  My favorite is the Blueberry Cheesecake!

Something New: Estee Lauder New Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II

Happy Saturday!

Just so you know I am very slow (literally like a turtle) when it comes to skincare products review.  I hope you don't mind as my skin is quite sensitive so changing from one skincare to another is like weaning a baby from direct feeding to bottle feeding.  *laughs*  Can't blame the comparison, that's what new mommies do --- do nothing but think about the baby!  :P

I've recently shared My Pregnancy Skincare Regimen last year and so far, after giving birth, I've decided to use the brand meant for sensitive skin (as my hormones are a bit wild for the first 3 months after giving birth) so I went back to my trustee Clinique 3-Step Skincare System and finally tried the new Clinique DDML+.   Why the need to change if the ones I'm using works?  Well..that's the JOY of being a beauty blogger!  *lol*  Even if I'm not a beauty blogger, you'll see me stalking aisles after aisles of different skincare brands as me and my brother were born product testers!  (Yup!  My brother shares the same sentiments as I do, try as much as you can, life is too short! ) *laughs*

February of last year, I've tried Estee Lauder's ANR and posted a detailed review.  I have shared the bottle with my Mom-in-law who loves taking care of her skin as much as I do and guess what?  She loved it as much as I do!  Once we're done with the bottle, she went ahead and repurchased another one!  As for me, I went ahead to test other skincare brands!  Who would've thought I'll be going back trying out the ANR line?  This time it has "II" written on its' bottle, meaning, it is their most comprehensive, most advanced serum as of date! 

AMW Reviews: Benefit Cha Cha Go-Go

I have proclaimed my love for Cha Cha tint as my favorite shade out of all the tints from Benefit!  Some of you may go for the famous Benetint, while some will choose the baby pink shade from Posietint.  But the girl writing this post is biased, you know why?  Well, I get compliments EACH time I wear Cha Cha tint so this is my obvious choice! :) 

BUT, because I love my clients more, (some of my bridal clients probably noticed me using this prior to blush application.) it was painful for me to put the full sized Benefit Cha Cha Tint inside my Zuca Traincase and I actually transferred some of the tint inside a small container.  

Can you imagine the happiness that enveloped my body and soul *lol* when I saw this in store during the Benefit Bloggers Hard Hat Party?

How To Creating Fake Crease for Monolids

How to create a fake crease for monolids?

Is there a way to make my eyes look bigger?

How to lessen puffy-looking eyes using eye shadow?

These are some of the many questions I get with regards to "Asian Eyes" or Monolids.  (I'm sorry for using the term Asian eyes as not all Asian Eyes look the same, I just had to use it as the beauty blogging community are used to this term!)

Aside from "faking the crease" by applying dark eye shadow on the outer-V, in the real world of busy bees...who has time to really blend and make sure both eyes match?  Some of you may sacrifice sleep for this but I'm not part of the "tiis ganda" crowd!  *laughs*  

For today's "This Is How I Do It" post, which by the way, are usually tips I share that are meant for busy bums out there!  I try to share tips that are very simple and less time consuming!  

There are 2-3 things you need to create such "effect" ---

Unboxing: Anything Skin with BDJ August Box

Happy Humpy Wednesday AMW Friends!  How are you today?
I will be sharing another "unboxing" experience with BDJ!  I am so excited every time I receive monthly subscription boxes and this one is no exception!  Just out August BDJ Box as they are talking about serious Skin by partnering with Shiseido!

AMW Bulletin: Win 5 Minis Gloss in Love from Lancome

I fell in love with Lancome's Rouge in Love collection when I had the chance to try on their mini-versions last year and decided to repurchase a full size for clients!  Don't you just love and hate minis/samples?  They are evil!  You get to try them and fall in love with them and spend more!  *laughs*

Anyway, the return of the evil minis are here!  Lancome came up with the Gloss In Love lip glosses and guess what?  I currently have 5 minis!  Thanks Lancome Philippines for this but again, these tiny bullets are super evil!

Something New: BeautyCornerPH Acrylic Make Up Palette

Fellow Make Up Artists and beauty junkies out there?  Once in our life, we've probably used a CD or CD case in mixing our liquid foundation or any cream based products am I right?  

If not, well, I guess I'm referring to myself!  I went from CD to a clear plastic CD case.  But once I got into professional make up artistry, I told myself I have to look professional as well!  My first ever super professional looking mixing palette is the Monda Oval Steel Mixing Palette which is still very much alive up until this moment.  No complaints!

As for readers out there, I'm sure you're still looking for alternatives, probably non-stainless steel and more handy!  Well guess what?  There are choices out there and this one is from Beauty CornerPH.

Cute Bee NOT included!  *laughs*

AMW Bulletin: Price Slash for our favorite The Body Shop Products

Don't you love the words --- PRICE...SLASH?

I do!  When I went for a quick stop at SM Sta. Mesa a couple of days ago to purchase more Pigeon Glass Bottles for Baby AMW, I came across The Body Shop and saw this huge sign....

You got that right, my eyes got diverted straight to my favorite TBS product --- TEA TREE OIL!  Tea Tree Oil for Php100.00 off?  You bet I hoarded!  And this time, I am happy to share that the price slash does not only end there, you also get to try the rest of TBS' All Time Favorites and I'll share to you their current prices!

I have a feeling some of you will run to the nearest The Body Shop after reading this!

AMW Reviews: - Revlon PhotoReady Kajal Eye Liner + Brightener

Happy start of the week again!

Can you believe it's already September?  Felt like yesterday when I had my ultimate morning sickness (yes, it started September last year) and look where I am now!  With a cute li'l one who makes me happy each and everyday!

Today, I will be sharing a review on another Kajal Liner (Read my first Kajal Liner review on The Body Shop Special Edition Kajal Liner).  I have used not much Kajal Liners as you all know, they all tend to smudge on our humid weather so as much as possible, I do not use them especially on my professional kit!  

Revlon, came up with 4 different Kajal Eyeliners with their coordinating Highlighting shades!  To be honest, i am quite excited with these even though they are in Kohl form, as for me Kohl= Smudgefest!

                           

Revlon says ---

Intensify and Highlight for a Smoldering Look
Get multiple on-trend looks with one dual ended pencil. The dark end’s rich color gives you an intense, bold look. The light end brightens and opens up the eyes. Use both ends together for an on-trend, smoldering look. Available in 4 exotic colors with complementary highlighting shades.  

Weekend Food Trip at: Ukokkei Ramen Ron, Malate

Yay for Sunday and let's enjoy the rest of our weekend before we go back to work!

Since I gave birth, I haven't been going out as much (I'm sure most newbie moms can relate to that) so I haven't really been "out there" and try different restaurants.  Because I check my Instagram almost every hour, I can see the "trend" right now when it comes to food trip.  It's all about Ramen....

One of the many Ramen place that I would like to try is Ukokkei Ramen Ron since it's quite near my place.  So it was a perfect timing to celebrate my dad-in-law's birthday there!

Though we frequently go to Malate, it was a bit difficult for us to find the place, once we found it, the place was quite packed and I guess a lot of people are as interested as I was with such Ramen place.

To be honest, the place isn't baby-friendly especially the area where you have to take off your shoes, thankfully, Baby AMW is such a nice baby and he was quiet the whole time we had our Ukokkei experience!
