AMW Wears: (Extra) Sexy White Shirt

Happy Friday everyone!

Let's talk about fashion, I can't seem to stress more how I am into comfort especially now that I'm a mom!  

A few years back, I blogged about my favorite Sexy White Shirt tops and I've worn them a lot of times in white and gray!  I like pairing them with shorts, jeans or even glam them up a bit with a scarf or statement necklace!  

But, after giving me, no matter how much I'd love to wear my Sexy White Shirts again to feel *ahem* sexy, I can't!  Let's face it, my body isn't the same as before plus the fact that I am currently nursing my little one, (maybe it's a good thing), I"m more "gifted" up there!  *laughs*  Okay, I seriously blushed a bit while typing this!  

Thankfully, my favorite brand came up with Extra Sexy Collection that would fit Small to Medium Frame.  Aside from the said changes, I was told they sourced for more luxurious organic cotton fabric and I can really tell that these shirts feel and look better on me!

 

AMW Reviews: Ofra Lipsticks

Happy Thursday everyone!  Funny how each time I feature a lipstick brand, the shade that would always be featured is a red and a pink!  I guess most of us are looking for good pink and red lipsticks that can change the way we look in an instant!  In less than a minute!

As a professional makeup artist, that's my one little secret in changing the looks of my clients especially when they are on a Prenup shoot (wherein various looks are needed). Thankfully, I get to try Ofra brand via Glamourbox. 

There are no shade names but instead, it's numbered

#IamBeautiful

Dear AMW Friends,

Please watch this short video...

So true right? 

AMW Reviews: Sleek Kajal Eyeliner in Odyssey (Purple)

When we talk about Kajal Liners, I always imagine them as dark colored liners used to create dramatic looks!  My very first Kajal Liner is from The Body Shop, and true to what I say, they came in dark shades in which I love to use when I create smoky eye looks!

Though I've used the Kajal Liner several times, I still have a lot left so I don't know how a single individual can finish Kajal Liners!  Unless, you wear them 24/7 and 365 days a year? :D

Okay back to Kajal Liners (I seriously tend to blab too much so forgive me :P), my favorite brand Sleek came up with their own Kajal Eyeliner and this time I got the purple shade!

Why in the world do I need a purple Kajal Liner when I can easily pick my purple eyeliner pencil to give an instant color on my water line or lower lash line?

Well, Kajal Eyeliners are unique because they can double up as an eyeshadow base aside from eyeliner.  They are creamy enough to be used as an eyeshadow base creating an instant pop to whatever powder shades you have on top! 

Ben Nye Media Pro HD NK-1 Conceal-All-Wheel Review

I realized I haven't posted about concealers for quite sometime!  Not that my skin is perfect, but I have notion of "less is more" as always!  Since most liquid/cream foundations have good amount of coverage, I usually double up my foundation as a concealer!  That's the reason why I don't speak much about these.

But that doesn't mean I don't use them or need them!  As a professional makeup artist, a good concealer should always be available in your kit!  You may never know what your clients may request.  I have one client with a huge birth mark on his face who requested me to cover them for his hosting job.  Another client with freckles requested me to cover them (though I personally prefer them peeking out a bit)...customers are always right and we have to satisfy their requests and needs!  

I have been a long time user of the Make Up For Ever Camouflage Cream palette and like some of you, I panicked when the store closed for a while so I immediately searched for something as good or even better!  Aside from my favorite HD brand Graftobian, Ben Nye comes to mind as these are high quality products meant for professionals that doesn't break the bank!   

My first Ben Nye Media Pro HD NK-1 Conceal-All Wheel

The Conceal-All-Wheel comes with 4 concealing shades!  I personally think this wheel is a nifty product that can correct, conceal and highlight!

AMW Reports: It's the Most Glamorous Time of the Year with Benefit and Rustans

Happy Monday AMW Friends!  Ahhh, I had a lovely busy weekend (as always).  And before the month of November ends, I want to share some of the exciting things that happened to me this month!  Well 2 exciting events in a day --- can you believe how lucky I was?

Benefit Cosmetics Philippines contacted me again to be their guest Makeup Artist last November 20, 3013 at the Rustans Makati counter.  I was tasked to do 2 workshops sharing hottest tips and tricks for the holiday, it was an invitation I can't resist...

I mean, who can say no if you get the chance to play around with makeup?  That doesn't feel like work at all!

It was a weekday so I'm happy there were still participants who joined!  I had fun whipping out my magic wand..ahem..brush...

Why I Like "Em Edible!

I grew up in a family of 6 in a usual 80's family setting.  The dad works while my mom is a SAHM (Stay at home mom).  With 4 of us studying in an private school, there's no budget for "extras" in the house.  In Mom and Dad's Anniversary, Dad's Birthday, Mom's Birthday,  Mother's Day, Father's Day and whatever occasion that screams for gift giving, the 4 of us would always pitch in for either ice cream or a cake!  You will never see a bouquet of flowers or just a single flower as a sign of greeting...as my mom would always say...

"Hindi mo naman makakain ang bulaklak!" (You can't eat flowers.)

So I grew up with the notion of giving fruits for my relatives every Christmas season.  But in my heart, I like the gorgeous arrangement of flowers, the unique color combination that gives the recipient a certain "high".  I had that feeling when a suitor hand me one (Promise, I have suitors aside from Keith lol) :P

And guess what, the bright minds came up with an idea of "edible arrangements".

AMW Reports: A Visit at Max Factor Landmark Trinoma Branch

Good day AMW Friends!
It's weekend!  I'm sharing a Max Factor moment with you guys!  I know the brand has been around but I haven't been visiting their counter much as I always thought they don't have anything new to offer!  Well, last weekend, I was proven wrong!  

Max Factor has a new and better looking counter at Landmark Trinoma Branch!  It screams modern, professional and looks more inviting than ever!

I took a quick look around the counter and found some old favorites PLUS lots of new products to watch out for!

Coach #FlowerFriday

A couple of weeks ago, on a Friday, I received a lovely basket with a sweet surprise at the center.... can you spot it?

 After taking several photos, I've decided to pull out the cute bottle of fragrance from Coach called Coach Poppy Citrine Blossom.  I gave a squeal when I saw the cute green poppy-flower like attached at the perfume bottle and I immediately got an awesome idea to use it on my hair!  

Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Stick 8-in-1 Skin Transformer Review

I have been accustomed about BB creams for years, but BB on a stick?  That's something!  Thanks to BDJ October Box, I got to try one of Maybelline's Star products --- the Clear Smooth Shine Free Clear Stick BB Stick!  I did mention this product will go straight to my sister's kikay kit but dear sis, I am so sorry, I got too intrigued with this product I have to try this first before I pass it on to you...if you're reading this..well, you have no choice! :P 

AMW Reviews: Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Palette in 03 Warm Beige Shades

Happy Thursday AMW Friends!  How have you been?  

Today, I will be sharing a brand we nearly "lost"!  I was one of the many MUFE fans who nearly went crazy when I learned my favorite MUFE Shangri-la branch was gone!  Where will I get my favorite Camouflage palette?  Eye pencils and eye shadows? 

Thankfully, in a few months' time, I learned MUFE is finally back!  I visited their pop up store at SM Aura recently (post AMW Reports: Make Up For Ever Philippines is BACK!) and I'm happy to announce that aside from our favorites, Make Up For Ever has more products for both the PROS and Make Up Addicts!  One of their most recent additions is their Rouge Artist Palette.  Don't get swayed with the product name, this isn't only for the professionals, this product is for ALL lipstick addicts out there who are creative enough to come up with their own ideal lipstick shades!

How To Use the ZA Impact-Full Eyes Gradation Palette (BR261)

Happy Tuesday AMW Friends!

If you follow me on Instagram (@AskMeWhats), you would notice how less of a makeup I wear nowadays!  Moms out there can definitely relate, with a baby close to you ALL the time, you wouldn't dare wear a lot of makeup especially when he loves to reach out and grab your face and lick his fingers at the same time...I know, in his eyes, I probably look like a KFC Chicken! :P

But, I am not losing this battle, I don't want to look stressed and tired (which I sometimes am or shall I say... MOSTLY am) so I still try to wear as minimal makeup as I can on days I leave home lugging baby like my li'l Beelzebub!  (Animax channel lovers can relate to this!  lol)

So back to the makeup routine, going out without "yaya" is like a major production number, I always put "fixing baby bag" plus bringing breast pump, bottles and breast milk with me the number 1 priority!  So applying makeup is definitely the last.  So I try to make my routine as simple and quick as possible and I've been using my neutral palette from ZA in BR261 a couple of times and I've decided to share a quick tip on how I use it!  

AMW Reviews: Bio-Oil

Do you still remember my Something New: Bio-Oil post last month?  A lot of you got intrigued with this product and requested for an in-depth review, after more than a month's usage, I'm ready to share my experience using one of the most awaited product this year!

Bio-Oil says ---

Bio-Oil is a specialist skincare product formulated to help improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone.  Its unique formulation, which contains the breakthrough ingredient PurCellin Oil, is also highly effective for ageing and dehydrated skin.

AskMeMom: Baby AMW's #KiddieSavings

This is my serious face on a serious situation...
No, I'm not taking a bar exam...
Or an IQ test....
This is MY serious face preparing for Baby Kyle's future!

If you follow me on Instagram (@AskMeWhats), you knew that I went to PSBank to apply for PSBank Kiddie Savings for my son!  Too early you say?  Well, based from personal experience, it's never too early to start saving!

Baby Kyle and your baby/kids can actually save as early as today! 

AMW Bulletin: Benefit Workshop with AMW

P.S. Thank you Benefit for always making me look cute in your posters! :D

AMW Reports: MAC Divine Night

When I got an invite to witness the launch of MAC's 2013 Holiday Collection, I had to be there!  As the collection includes my MAC favorites --- Mineralize Eye Shadow, Blush and Skinfinishes!  It doesn't hurt that they also include Fluidline in Macroviolet and Stares & Speculation with the additional help of Kohl Power Eye Pencils for more dramatic looking eyes.

Weekend Food Trip at: Choi Palace Seafood and Shark's Fin Restaurant

Happy Sunday AMW friends!

This is an old food post at Choi Palace Seafood and Shark's Fin Restaurant located at Eastwood Mall.  We were invited by Keith's Aunt as his cousin graduated Magna Cum Laude!  Congratulations Maine, we are so proud of you!

This is actually my second time dining at Choi Palace, I apologize in advise for not being able to type down all the food details as this was a treat from Keith's Aunt and Uncle, so it is rude to ask for the menu and check the prices and dish details :) I hope you understand! :) This Sunday, let's just enjoy the look of yummy food! 

 House Special Roast Layer Pork

A must try!  I am not into "Lechon Kawali" but I found myself grabbing 2-3 pieces of these!

AMW Reviews: Native Union Pop Phone

Something non-makeup related for a change!  Yay!  

I haven't been reviewing "tech" products for quite some time and it is a bit of a refreshing change!  I've seen the Pop phones years ago and thought: "That is so 80's!".  Until recently, when I start to recently enjoy the perks of technology using Viber, Face Time or Skype to update and chat with my family both here and abroad, I realized the Pop Phone is something worth investing for!

Native Union's Pop Phone comes in various colors, from Neon Pink, Neon Green, Neon Orange, Neon Yellow etc...to those who aren't into K.S.P. (Kulang sa Pansin) colors, they also have toned down shades like Mint, Jet Black, Aquamarine, Lavender.

Since I'm KSP and I want my Pop Phone to match my makeup brush belt and Hot Iron Holster, I went for Neon Pink!

AMW Reviews: Real Techniques by Samantha Chapman Core Collection

If you are into makeup and makeup tools alike, you probably know the brand of these brushes at a glance!

I for one is not a stamp collector or whatever collector as a hobby but I'm starting to call myself a makeup and nail art brushes collector!  I know I have enough brushes at the moment for both personal and professional use but to be honest, I am not stopping there!  Owning good, quality makeup brushes is an investment and I can still remember the past years when I would save up for a single pricey brush just because I knew good brushes will take me a long way in my career as a makeup artist!  Thankfully, nowadays, more and more quality brushes are made available at an affordable price!  So lucky YOU who are starting to collect brushes or who are starting your career as a makeup artist, there will always be inexpensive alternative out there! 

Quick Tip: Transforming Your Concealer into a Highlighter

You are in a makeup counter, trying out different shades of concealers, you tediously applied the closest shade to your skin tone on your face and after several decision making in your head, you finally found the perfect match!  You went ahead and purchase it.  

The next day, you excitedly applied your newly-purchased concealer and realized the concealer enhanced your flaws even more as it is a shade or 2 too light on you.

That's a normal situation for makeup buyers like myself especially when I was just starting out on makeup!  That's why I've created a "QUICK TIP" post for quick and easy techniques on how NOT to waste your money on wrong purchases!  I know in some countries, it is easy to return the item/s but since we aren't the lucky bunch, we end up with extra products we can't use saying bye-bye to our hard-earned money.

AMW Reviews: Happy Skin Get Cheeky With Me (First Kiss)

When Happy Skin Cosmetics was launched, they were going viral not only on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook!  I'm starting to see them on TV as well!  Imagine, getting interviewed by the Queen of Media Ms. Kris Aquino, the brand is definitely going big!  

I was able to try the Happy Skin Moisturizing Lippie and I have been using it a couple of times going out, I gave a positive review on their lip products so I can't wait to test their blush called Get Cheeky With Me!  Okay, let's hand it to them for coming up with unique and cute names but as always, here on AMW, cute packaging and unique name won't make it to the cut, the quality has to be good for me to be able to say....the product is worth purchasing! 

Packaging reminds me of The Balm, the size and pan of the blush screams Shu Uemura!

Something New: Caronia and Revlon Brilliant Strength

Hi Nail Polish lovers!
I know I haven't gotten around to create nail art tutorials but trust me, I'm itching to do so when Kyle gets a bit bigger!  Aside from spending most of my free time playing with my little one, I also get to have a little bit of me time by applying nail polish in between work.  I have a bit of trivia about my nails though!  Check out the photo below and tell me if you find anything odd....

AMW Reviews: Benefit Hydra-Smooth Lip Color in Dare Me

Happy Monday AMW Friends!

The weekend was crazy with the strongest storm ever hit the world!  #TyphoonYolanda #YolandaPH  I pray our fellowmen safe and let's do everything in our own small ways to help out! :)

On the lighter note, let's talk about the lighter side of things, of course, things that make us feel and look beautiful!  I want to share a bright lipstick review.  The most recent lipstick from Benefit!  I actually haven't tried any Benefit Lipsticks for myself but I've used them a couple of times on a shoot!  I have tried their glosses but never thought Benefit would excel when it comes to lipsticks...until today!

Weekend Food Trip at: Spiral

Happy Sunday AMW Friends!
Okay, today is the day where I will be sharing you gazillion photos on my most recent buffet date with Mr. AMW!  Brace yourself as this post is photo laden and if you're hungry, you better grab something to eat and get back to this post!  Don't tell me I didn't warn you!

Given the chance to pick, Mr. AMW and I would always go for a la carte dining rather than buffet.  Why?  We are the type of couple who like to bond over food and having so much food choices in front of our eyes may break the "bonding moment".  We love to eat so much we may end up in dead silence as we stuff our faces with food!  *laughs*  Aside from that, buffet meals are quite stressful for me as I would rather have our food served right in front of us rather than us walking around bumping into other people to get the "best piece" out there! 

I'm glad my idea changed after dining at the new Spiral at Sofitel Philippine Plaza.  I am very thankful to Sofitel's Jane and Blessy for the invite as all the qualms of buffet dining was gone after this lovely experience!  Mr. AMW and I were actually planning on more dates like this!

A fact for our international readers, Spiral officially opened year 2006, then a bad storm happened and Spiral was heavily ruined by floods!  It was a blessing in disguise as the new Spiral was re-opened November 2012 and this time, in a whole new level!  The new Spiral is now divided into 21 dining ateliers (yes, you read it right --- 21!) and let me tell you, the feel of the dining area is very different as compared to the old one! Aside from the warm ambiance, dining is more interactive!

The moment I sat at the table, their signature warm olive bread was served and I was asked for my drink of choice!

P.S. Ask for the healthy drink option, they serve different healthy drinks everyday!

AMW Reports: Le Spa Experience at Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila

Happy Weekend AMW Friends!

Yes, you are seeing another spa review!  You have to give it to me as working full time plus a lot of side jobs are giving my body aches I haven't experienced in the past.  Plus, November 3 was actually our "We're officially together" anniversary.  Mr. AMW and I celebrated 16 years of true love and friendship!  And what's the best way to celebrate that?  Good food and perfect relaxation!   We had a good lunch at Spiral (will talk more about it tomorrow on my Weekend Food Trip post) then a relaxation time at Le Spa (just a stone throw away from Spiral).

Le Spa is located at the Plaza Level of Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila.  Upon stepping in the Le Spa reception area, I was immediately put at ease as the interior screams classy with a modern twist!  Aside from that, the usual friendly greeting with genuine smile from staffs put both me and Mr. AMW at ease (seriously, we're allergic to snooty establishments and you won't feel that at Sofitel Manila and Le Spa).

Reception area

Take a couple of steps further back, check out the HUGE receiving area (photo below)!  Mr. AMW used to dislike massages because of his ticklish bones *laughs*, so he prefers to wait for me at the lounge or waiting room every time I have my own massage.  With a comfortable sofa and a flat screen TV and a nice cup of ginger tea (served free by Le Spa)?  I'm sure an hour or two will pass by quickly!

Eureka Moment: Hot Iron Holster for your Hot Styling Tools

I am a hairstylist every now and then but not as much as I do makeup, the thing though, I am so into hairstyling and I must admit, purchasing hot styling tools give me a natural "high" and Mr. AMW can vouch on that!  

I have 2 blow dryers, flat iron, 3 sizes of curling iron, a flat iron and curling iron in one, a small flat iron for bangs, etc...  I've hurt myself using a hot styling tools in the past so I'm taking extreme precaution in handling them!  

So the moment I saw Digital Traincase posted the photo below on Instagram (@dgtaltraincase) asking if anyone's interested with the Hot Iron Holster, I immediately replied: "ME!"

Who wouldn't be?  It's the simplest yet most unique invention for any "hair" person out there!

Available in 4 colors

AMW Reviews: Koren Zander Pro Brush Soap (Cantaloupe)

Today is Thursday and it's a perfect day to talk about TBT #ThrowbackThursday.  Same as a lot of you, I love watching Beauty Gurus on YouTube!  I am fascinated by how much I learned by just a few clicks on my computer/iPad!  One of my favorite guru is none other than Koren of Enkore!  I find him as one of the smartest Beauty Guru on Youtube and I seriously learn so much from him!  With his limitless ideas, I'm not surprised he finally came up with his own product line!  I'm still rooting for his makeup line but for now, I'm glad he created a Pro Brush Soap with loofah at the backside of the soap! 

Why?  Well...deep cleaning my brush is one task I try my best to love!  It is a difficult task especially for a mom like me who don't have enough time to stand in front of the sink for almost an hour cleaning ALL my professional brushes!  As much as I'd love to skip this step, I know I can't as I'm protecting the faces of my clients!  

How do I deep clean my brushes?  I make sure to have a sponge with me as swirling the brushes on the palm of your hand is fun for the first 10 brushes but it is a pain on the neck, hand and legs if you go beyond 10!  (Comment YES if you agree!) 

Thankfully, Koren Zander created ONE smart bar of brush soap with an attached loofah on the other side!  After using this soap for weeks, I'm ready to share my thoughts on this!

Product spotlight:

The Spa Red Carpet Treatment Experience + Win Your Own Red Carpet Treatment!

Several months ago, I booked myself a treatment called "Red Carpet Treatment" at The Spa.  It was a random "no work day" for me that's why I picked the said date but little did I know that it was a perfect day for a pampering as it was the same day I received an award from StyleBible VSA as Best Beauty Blogger!  (Still in awe for winning the said title!) 

Earlier that day, I did a makeup workshop for a makeup brand for 4 long hours and after a quick lunch,  I've decided to go to The Spa earlier than my scheduled time as I plan to express milk (I'm a nursing mom)  After being greeted by the friendly receptionists, I was immediately ushered to the Villa!  It was located at the topmost floor of The Spa, Bonifacio High Street. 

Stairway to Heaven :)

I Wonder: What's Your To-Go-To Palette?

Happy Tuesday AMW Friends!
Today's I Wonder Post, I wish most of you would comment back to share me your answer as I'm super intrigued to know "What's Your To-Go-To Palette?"

The reason why I asked is because over the weekend, I had the chance to fix my professional kit as I'm on for a busy November and December (yes, back to work baby!).  As I looked into my professional kit, I realized, there are so many makeup products that I personally love that I gave up because I'd rather give the best for clients!  

As I went back to fix my personal kit, I saw a palette I reach out for the most when I needed to prettify myself!  And it is not bigger than the palm of my hand!

AMW Reviews: ZA Total Hydration BB Cream White SPF50+ PA+++

Are you still on the search for the best BB Cream for you?  I know some may have moved to CC creams or soon DD creams (I can't believe they will be coming with that one!  Still sounded like a bra size to me hehehe).  But I am still in love in trying out different BB Creams, never fail to make me smile as I remember those days I am spending most of my free time in front of the computer online shopping for Korean BB Creams!  Look what a couple of years can do!  Most BB creams we long for are locally available! 

One of them is the ZA Total Hydration BB Cream UV White!  No need to travel to Hong Kong for our most loved ZA products!

ZA says ---
Za’s most powerful whitening BB Cream contains skincare ingredient!

• Brightens your skin tone in 10 days.
• Corrects skin color and gives an even-looking finish without patchiness.
• Non-sticky finish to make makeup last for long hours.

Weekend Food Trip at: Chelsea Market and Cafe at Serendra

Last weekend, Mr. AMW and I decided (on a whim) to go out and celebrate our 6th Wedding Anniversary!  Okay, the original plan was, just to stay at home and enjoy home cooked meals with Baby Kyle around  But I got a bit guilty not taking Mr. AMW out on a date!  Without yaya and with Kyle around, that doesn't stop me from being the pa-sweet wife!  *laughs*  I mean, seriously, I'm sweet ha!  :P  So the women of the 21st century in me asked my husband out for a simple dinner and "US" time.  That's US + a cute tiny third wheel (that we don't mind having him around!)

It was a very good decision!

AMW Bulletin: Freshlook Illuminate Dailies and Julia Montes

Recently, Alcon, the global leader in eye care, launches the Dailies Freshlook Illuminate in the Philippines with Julia Montes, Famous TV Actress, as their brand ambassador.  Julia Montes is excited to be chosen as the brand ambassador as she believes: "the best accessory a girl can wear, is her beautiful eyes."

Something New: Products that Make you Feel Beautiful In and Out

Wow, November is here and before we knew it, December is here and it's the Christmas season once again!  

Checking my "Query" mails, I realized there is one common issues that most AMW readers have been asking about, what's the best brand of skincare products for their skin!  I know my answer may sound generic to some but it is true, there is no such thing as the best skincare product for everyone!  There will always be that special brand that works for you!  It took me YEARS to finally understand the right skincare products for me, it doesn't have to be expensive, but it is very important for me to choose a range that targets my skin issues --- dull, extremely dry and sensitive skin.  

That is the big question for you to answer --- what is your major skin issue?  

Pimples?  Acne?  Pores?  Dryness?  Extreme Oiliness? etc...

Once you answer that simple question, at least you can go on a search with the right brand for you.  Recently, I got to know more skincare brands from different companies that may help your skin issues.
