AMW Workshop Series Part 8: I Woke Up Like This


3 Years Ago, I prayed for my own workshop.  A venue were makeup and skincare enthusiasts bond together with good food, great lessons, beauty session and a whole lot of make up and skincare items!  

Who would've thought this will be my 8th workshop?  I am so amazed by how God works in mysterious ways!  I love how he made me an instrument in making girls feel beautiful in and out! 

AMW Workshop Series Part 8 is called I Woke Up Like This.  This is to jumpstart year 2018 with having more time to reach our goals while looking good!  As requested by many of you, I've created a short course on how to create simple, natural, yet effective-looking makeup that helps enhance your natural beauty in the shortest time possible!  

And this photo speaks: "We All Woke Up Like This"!  
I love everyone's makeovers!



Firstly, as always, I want to thank our dear sponsors who generously share their wonderful makeup products.  ALL makeups used by participants during that day are from these wonderful sponsors!


If you don't believe me, you better look at this traincase-full of items!  All AMW Workshoppers get to take home everything you see in the photo below (except makeup traincase)

Althea's New Skincare Line


Everybody who's into K-Beauty products probably heard or shopped at Althea at least once in their life!  I've shopped their so many times for items I can't find locally and I have unboxed my packages so many times a lot of you would think I'm sponsored (80% of the time, I'm not!  I pay for my own orders!)

I recently heard about the launch of their Petal Velvet Powder which was a mattifying, translucent powder that sets makeup and leaves behind a smooth, silky satin finish.  I gave it a skip because you know my skin type - I'm dry, I need moisture!  So it is okay for me to miss this out.


But, when I heard about the newest skincare line called Althea's Bare Essentials, I knew I had to dip my hands on them because this is said to be crafted products that gives the benefits of the infamous 10-step Korean Skincare Routine rolled into 3 quick and easy steps.



Now, who doesn't want that?  I know I can't do 10-steps, I just don't have the time (lucky you if you can, and may you please go ahead with that), as for me, I try to minimize my beauty regimen as much as possible because sleep is more important to me!

As expected, the 3 products Althea is mentioning talks about --- cleansing, toning and moisturizing.

The ORIGINAL Penguin Store


I have known about the brand Original Penguin for many years now!  I've first seen their store in Hong Kong and actually owned quite a few because I love how comfortable they feel and how they last no matter how many washes!

But these days, style has evolved, people are starting to wear more fashionable pieces (no matter how uncomfortable they are!)  I have gone through the same bandwagon and have worn several uncomfortable clothing just to feel how it is to be part of fashion!


Now where's the comfort in fashion you say?

Thankfully, the Original Penguin offers more than just comfort, they offer a whole lot of style, even lifestyle!


The new Rockwell location showcases Original Penguin’s aesthetic of contemporary style, without compromising classic appeal. The brand is now larger than ever, becoming a one-stop shop that features its classic and latest collections of apparel and accessories, alongside its newest offerings, bedding and luggage. It has also become the first international fashion brand to hold a full-service barbershop inside its retail stores.

I Shine Bright with PANDORA



a photo of Nikki Tiu of Askmewhats.com at PANDORA SPRINT 2018 Event


PANDORA has been around for so many years but it took a while, for me to finally own my very precious piece of PANDORA jewelry (gifted by my hubby).  It's not because I don't like it, I want them, I liked them a lot!  It's just that, I lean on more to golds when it comes to accessories.  It just looks better on my skintone.

So when I learned that PANDORA takes a fresh new design direction with their first 18k gold-plated sterling silver collection, I knew I had to be there to take a sneak peek and see which one I would invest on for the year 2018.

When the collection was unveiled during the launch, I was a bit overwhelmed as it is a HUGE collection.  Now to keep us sane, there are actually 2 collections for PANDORA Spring 2018.

A Summer Must-Try!



When it comes to hair products, I am at this stage of my life where I don't get swayed off easily by advertisements!  I know particularly the needs of my hair and if a product is effective or not.  


One hair care brand that I really depend on even before I got into Blogging was Cream Silk.  Cream Silk is indeed (in my opinion) top on the list when we talk about conditioner!  

I know the brand has evolved into something better for the past years, I love how they customized each conditioner depending on hair issues.  Yes, our hair aren't all the same, we all have our different issues and I'm glad Cream Silk targeted it!

This March, Cream Silk unveiled another product perfect for summer!  The NEW Limited Edition Cream Silk Fresh Hydration!


Because this is limited edition, I have to share this post as soon as I can because I want you ALL to give it a try before it's too late!

I have to admit, I've used this only 3 times since I received this but I would like to share to you my thoughts ---

  • Light Blue which I find super cute!  
  • Smells really fresh, I can't pinpoint the exact scent but it smells like flowers on field!  
  • Well, ALL Cream Silk conditioners make my hair easier to comb and tangle-free, but for this particular variant, what I noticed is that my hair look straighter?  I guess it's the extra moisture they added?
  • I don't really have greasy scalp plus I never put conditioner on the scalp area so I can't comment if this will add grease to the hair!  
  • I personally think as long as you use the right amount of conditioner, the product won't weight down your hair and won't make it feel greasy.
  • Now upon usage, the product doesn't feel like any Cream Silk conditioners I've used in the past, the texture is almost like a "gel moisturizer" so I felt it wasn't doing anything.  You'll see the effect the next day.
  • The next day, you'll immediately see the difference, hair is soft and light!
Unfortunately, this product is LIMITED Edition so this may be gone forever!  I wish Cream Silk would make this a yearly tradition, like bring it back every summer because I'm sure a lot would like this to happen! 

Cream Silk Fresh Hydration Conditioner is available at leading supermarkets and drugstores nationwide with SRP Php109.00 for 170ml and Php197.50.00 for 340ml.



Have you seen this variant in local stores near you?

Will you give this a try?
What's your favorite Cream Silk variant?

Initial Thoughts on: Happy Skin Beauty


Effortless skincare, Happier Skin in 3 Steps.

That's the Happy Skin Beauty tagline and I liked it!  I know we as moms prioritize our family, but we also need to take care of ourselves so I like that there are simple products that targets specific skin issues!  You don't have to guess what needs to be done as everything is straightforward.  

Happy Skin created Happy Skin Beauty with 2 lines --- the Oil Control Series and Anti-Aging Series.  

What if you're in between?  What if you have normal skin?  Go for Anti-Aging line because it pays to start early in taking care of your skin!


"Unlike other anti-aging products in the market, Happy Skin Beauty's Anti-Aging Series offers rich hydration and skin renewal - all without the heaviness. It's made for normal, dry, and combination skin, and is perfectly compatible with makeup."


Hydrating Facial Wash
Php599.00
Cleansing is the first step to healthier skin. This Happy Skin Beauty Hydrating Facial Wash gently but deeply cleans the pores without stripping the skin of moisture. It reveals fresh and clean skin while making it smooth and supple keeping it at a healthy pH level.

a photo of Happy Skin Beauty  Hydrating Facial Wash

I personally enjoyed using this for the lightweight texture.  In one tiny pea-size squeeze, it lathers up pretty well and goes smoothly on skin!  It felt like a cream-gel and it smells really good!  It has a subtle scent that relaxes me as I massage my troubles (a.k.a. makeup away!)

This can actually help remove certain makeup but for waterproof makeup, you need a separate makeup remover for that!  I like how my skin does not feel tight after wash and hey, no allergic reactions!  #ThankYouLord

Weekend Food Trip at: Mazendo + The Dessert Museum



I have been to Taiwan and tried their food, so when I saw Mazendo Restaurant, hailed as Taiwan's Best Beef Noodle soup, I had to drag my family to dine there after The Dessert Museum family bonding.  

If you are on a rush, yes, it is worth the visit!  And double yes, it is authentic!

Let's start with the appetizers that makes people come back for more!

Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings
Php145.00

Though the bottom side was up when it was served, I had this clueless look, why would they offer me a paper?

Thankfully, it wasn't a paper, the bottom side is made of "wrap" fried neatly so you can actually eat it together with the dumplings! Yummy as you get an extra crisp!  Extra will always be good!

Do You Love The Sun?



I do! Especially since my son's world right now is circling around his "Solar System" and every discussion I have with him revolves around....The Sun and its' planets.

But, do I REALLY love the sun?  In a way, YES AND NO.  Yes because the sun is very important for us to survive but science aside... NO!  I don't like it for the fact that I sweat more than usual and I'm starting to have headache with the extreme heat!

But how to survive the summer?  

1. Hydrate yourself.
2. Keep cool (physically and emotionally).
3. Protect yourself from the sun!

Thankfully, I've done numbers 1 and 3 consistently nowadays (wishing I could do number 2 more often!  LOL).  With the help of my favorite beauty store Watsons, I was able to find some goodies that will keep me feeling cheery this summer!


And if you want to feel positive, you don't just need sunblock/sunscreen, you also need to take care the rest of your body (face, hair, etc...)


"Love The Sun" is Watsons' Summer Campaign that puts out the message that one shouldn't be afraid of the sun. With products that protect your skin and hair, Watsons definitely has got you covered!

I personally love the brands Nivea, Belo, Banana Boat, Sunplay, Biore, Neutrogena, Solstice, Beach Hut, L'Oreal, Cream Silk, Pantene and Vitress.

But, there are actually other participating brands you may want to look into --- Banana Boat, Dermplus, Kojie San, Hawaiian Tropic, Cetaphil, Olay, Pond’s, Snow, Celeteque, Thiocell, Shiro, Gluta-C, Vaseline, Veet, Lactacyd, Dentiste, Chic, Bobbie and Body Fantasies.

Here's what can cheer us more!  All SMAC members can get a chance to win a trip for 4 to any of the following destinations: Japan, Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Every P500 single-receipt purchase of participating products is equivalent to 1 e-raffle entry to join the promo.

If you want to watch my video on my thoughts on some of the sun care products I've used in the past, visit HERE.


What's your favorite item from Watsons mentioned above?

Stay happy!

Tony Moly 2X Eye-Face Cream Review




Dear AMW friends,
Who among you uses Eye cream and face creams?  I do!  I use them separately for the longest time but who would've thought I'll chance upon a product that says EYE-FACE Cream?

Found one!  From Tony Moly!

a photo of Tony Moly 2X Eye-Face Cream review.

Contains Vitamin Tree Extract which I find soothing!

a photo of Tony Moly 2X Eye-Face Cream review.


Tony Moly 2X Eye-Face Cream Says ---



  • All in One eye and Face.
  • The eye cream with a rich soft texture improves the elasticity of sagging skin. It can also be applied on the entire face.
  • Take an adequate amount of the product, gently apply to face and neck area.
  • Made in Korea.

A Subtle-Looking Liner that Stays


I was asked a couple of times on Instagram #AskAMW on my pencil recommendations that would keep your eyes looking wide without looking like a wide-eyed Panda.

I can totally relate.  We live in a humid weather country and using just eye pencil for the eyes is almost impossible (spoken by a liquid and gel liner lover!)

But there will be days I"m too lazy to wing my liner just because I'm just sending my son to school, as much as I would love to just leave my eyes as is, it looks puffy and "tired" without liner so I always opt for a liner pencil.  

One of my favorite brand is Make Up For Ever and I also have another one from Estee Lauder if I wanted a pencil that can be "smudged" and sets like a tattoo.

a photo of Estee Lauder Double Wear Infinite Women's Waterproof Eyeliner Review
 A long wearing eyeliner to shape the eyes. Gives precise line and stay-put color for 24 hours. Creamy texture and smoothly glides on. Delivers different makeup effects from a simple line to a sultry smoky eye. Smudge free and resistant to water, sweat, heat and humidity. Features a soft smudge tip and built-in sharpener.

photo of Estee Lauder Double Wear Infinite Women's Waterproof Eyeliner Review

The Estee Lauder Double Wear Waterproof eyeliner pencil comes with retractable pencil on one side and a smudger tip on the other side.  I was using this for a good 1 month before realizing it comes with a sharpener.  The sharpener is actually vital if you want to create a define line.  Just pull the smudger tip and the sharpener is happily hidden there.

Flormar HD Invisible Cover Foundation Review



I knew Flormar cosmetics had it when I tried their Perfect Coverage Liquid Concealer, Lip Primer, etc... because they all earned positive reviews from me.

And after trying their newest HD Invisible Cover Foundation, that's when I thought this brand has to be OUT there!  For a drugstore brand that can deliver like High End cosmetics, you know that's what WE ALL WANT and I'm telling you, this is one of them!

Flormar HD Invisible Cover Foundation
Php399.00

a photo of  Flormar HD Invisible Cover Foundation Review by Nikki Tiu www.askmewhats.com

Housed in a glass bottle with a couple of shades available, this can be an alternative foundation for those who are studying make up artistry and this can also be used on a professional level!

Of course, with the lightweight feel and texture, this is a nice daily foundation too!

NEW! L'Oreal Brow Artist Xpert Review


When the newest Brow Artist Xpert pencils from L'Oreal landed on my desk one day with 7 true-to-the-brow shades (8 in the US), I knew they mean business.  I immediately picked one shade that I think would match me based from the color of the cap and did a great job in doing so.

A Bright Colored Lip Because I Can!




I haven't worn this kind of colored lippies for ages!  I used to haunt this color a couple of years ago just because I saw some actresses wear them!  

Now that I've tried Palladio's Velvet Matte Cream Lip Color, I realized this is a great pick-me-upper not only on the way I look but my feeling as well!  I feel more energetic whenever I wear bright-colored lippie and I guess this is a good Monday lipstick?  Do you agree?

According to Palladio ---
"Our Top seller Velvet Matte has been given an opulent twist with flattering metallic pearls to create a striking feminine look. Drench your lips with this supple, creamy formula enhanced with green tea and vitamin E. Designed with long wear metallic pigments and a velvety matte texture, the new VELVET MATTE will make you rock the ultimate lip trend."

AMW Cooks: Tuna Baked Mac




The Holy Week is coming soon and some of you are following the No Meat Diet for sacrifice.  I know you'll see "hotdogs" in this dish because my son loves them, but I suddenly thought why not recreate one comes "no meat season" minus the hotdogs?  It will taste as good I promise you!  This dish was swiped off that same night and there were only 3.5 of us in the family!  (0.5 is my son by the way!)

Why I Love Aureo La Union



A lot of you who follow me on Social Media probably saw that I spent a couple of days in Aureo La Union with my family after my birthday.  It was a nice post-birthday celebration with my family and it was a good breather to be out of the city!


Aureo Resort is located in the heart of La Union and it took us a good 4-hour drive going there (thanks NLEX and TPLEX!)

Let me tell you just SOME of the many reasons why I love it there.



LOCATION
I did say it took us 4-hour long drive but it was the easiest drive for us (I like the drive going there better than Tagaytay as it is less congested, just make sure to travel off-peak hours)

Located at San Fernando, you can easily find it there via Waze.  You won't miss this sign!

And if you're the type who loves to go surfing or maybe food trip in La Union?  You can easily drive for about 30 minutes and you are there at San Juan, La Union.

The Body Shop Matte Clay Skin Clarifying Foundation Review



The Body Shop has been around for YEARS!!!!  I remembered as a start-up Blogger, one of the first brand that reached out to me (from the US pa ha!), is The Body Shop US team who let me try their Mineral Makeup Line.  Ah, those were the days I started to learn about the brand and fall in love with them.

Fast forward to more than 10 years, they definitely "up their game" with more promising makeup line, promising enough I can actually use this on a professional level!  

Interesting?  Are you ready to read further?

AMW Visits Zojirushi Flagship Store



Let me tell you something about my childhood....don't worry it's not going to be a novel!  
I'm the youngest in the family so whatever I use are hand-me-downs from my sister or brothers!  I am not really into material things but one thing I really asked from my parents is a cute lunchbox OR a cute stainless steel tumbler to keep my water cold all throughout the day?

I didn't have any of those and I cried bucket of tears during summer!  So imagine the happiness (and memories) I had upon entering the first Zojirushi Flagship Store at Promenade Greenhills?



Zojirushi is the leading Japanese home and kitchen lifestyle brand which has been a partner of many households all over the world.  Designed with a simple yet powerful slogan in mind: Inspirations from Everyday Life, this global Japanese brand known for quality products since 1918, has established itself as a top manufacturer of vacuum bottles and has continued to leverage the latest technologies to create a constant stream of leading-edge products that make life more comfortable and convenient.  Although much has changed and lifestyles have become more varied, this brand’s philosophy of  “creating a quality of life” continues to be reflected in its products and services.

Make Up For Ever Sculpting KIT Review



When I was studying makeup, one of the most sought after "contour and highlight" product was the one from Make Up For Ever Sculpting Kit.  I've been wanting this forever but since I get easily distracted from other brands, I can't believe I just got this item latter part of last year!  


Make Up For Ever Sculpting KIT
02 Neutral Light
Php2,550.00



It comes in a nifty smooth black compact that is slim enough store even in your slim and tiny handbag.

Avon Pink for Every Pinay Like You and Me





So I haven't worn pink lipsticks in AGES!
But since March is International Women's Day, I knew we had to celebrate in a way that we celebrate womanhood!  What's the best way to do so?  Where any shade of pink lipsticks because pink represent confidence, energy and femininity.



Avon recently came up with different pinks shades under the Avon True Perfectly Matte Lipsticks and Avon True Ultra Color lines. 

I went ahead and used Avon True Perfectly Matte Lipsticks because matte is still big in this season and guess what, Avon actually passed the dehydrated lips test!  Their matte lipsticks work for me!

Birthday Food Trip at: Uma Uma, S Maison




Whenever we celebrate birthdays, I am sure to gain a couple of pounds because there will always be celebration for --- my family, husband's family, friends and more friends!

And my way of celebration will always be in a restaurant stuffing our faces with great food because that is how I celebrate since birth! :P


Since my birthday falls on a weekday and my hardworking hubby usually stays in the office until late, I've decided to look for a restaurant nearby (which is SM MOA) but I wanted a place less crowded.

S Maison is the answer!  Thankfully, there are more restaurants to choose from and I went for Uma Uma Ramen!


There were only a few items on menu but what the heck?  I LOVE my ramen and I call it my comfort food!  So what's the best place to eat but a restaurant that specializes on Ramen!

Thankfully, for non-Ramen eaters (are you from outer space? :P), they also serve 2-3 rice dishes which is equally good and worthwhile!  No wonder for a boring weeknight, the place was actually packed!

One-Bite Gyozas
Php140.00
Mini gyoza designed for eating in just one bite, especially for women so as not to ruin their lipstick. The gyoza is tasty but sticks together.

They mean it when they say ONE-BITE.  I can even stuff 2 of these at a time! :P  But so far, this doesn't fail!  I've had gyozas so many times in my lifetime and when I say they are good, they are good!

Welcome Home Palladio!




It was more than a decade ago when I used to roam around Beauty Bar stores memorizing each brand, learning each makeup product just because I was just starting out to build my makeup kit for makeup school.  

The first product that was highly recommended to me by the SA was Palladio Rice Powder and I actually bought it and used them on my first few clients.  That goes on top of my head whenever I hear the brand Palladio --- Rice Powder.  And I believe you have the same thoughts too right?


Today, Palladio is back in the Philippines (bigger and better my friends!) and I'm glad to attend the launch because Palladio Beauty Group goes beyond just the makers of Rice Powder. 



"The Palladio Beauty Group is internationally recognized as a leading manufacturer of herbal and vitamin enriched color cosmetics and skincare products.  Their products are created for women with all types of skin who desire to look beautiful and radiant while protecting their skin from the signs of aging.  From herbal and vitamin enriched formulations that contain beneficial ingredients such as Ginseng, Green Tea, Gingko Biloba, Vitamin E an dnatural humectants and skin soothers such as Aloe Vera and Chamomile." 
If that statement didn't let you think outside of the Palladio=Rice Powder.  Well, I have photos to prove!

Keyword: Subtle Contouring with Clinique


"How can you possibly contour on a daily basis?"
It is possible if you contour the way I do.  No fake-tans, no bronzers, no dirty lines.
Just clean, fresh, natural-looking highlights and contours on specific areas of my face.  That's the AMW style of contouring on a daily basis!

a photo of Clinique Sculptionary Cheek Contouring palette in Defining Nectars review

The key to successful natural-looking contour?  Using the right product.  I found it recently through Clinique Sculptionary Cheek Contouring Palette in Defining Nectars (Php2,100.00).

Celeteque CC Micro-Hydrating Powder Review



When I first got the CC Micro-Hydrating Powder from Celeteque, I was wondering why they created such product that is bulky!  I mean everything's slimmer now --- mobile phones, bags, makeup packaging (except my waistline!)

As I read product description, that's when I understand why this is such a unique product worth trying.

Cathy Doll Pretty Volume Mascara Review



I pretty much skip mascara application nowadays because I accepted the fact that my lashes are non-existent, and if I wanted to add volume on my lashes, I depend on false lashes!  

But when Cathy Doll finally came out with their own mascara called Pretty Volume Mascara, I knew I had to give it a try right away because....a mascara this cute needs attention!  I've given this enough attention for a full month and I'm ready to share if this gives wonder to my non-existent, sparse lashes (or not!)

I'm not pulling your arm when I said this product is cute!  Just look how eye-catchy the packaging is!

Cathy Doll Pretty Volume Mascara Says ---
Thicken your eyelashes and enhance your look with Double Volume Pretty Mascara. It is specifically designed to thicken eyelashes. A dumbbell brush figure is used to effectively increase volume of eyelashes. Your eyes will look prettier. Give it a try today!

Flormar Prime N' Lips on my lips!



When I've done Beauty Training with the brand Flormar, I was given a couple of makeup samples to test before I do the training.  One product that caught my attention is a lip product called Prime N' Lips.  It is said to be new in the market and I gave this a test immediately!

Thankfully, I got 3 lovely shades to try and I already found my daily favorite!  Can you spot it?
