AMW Reads: For the Month of July

Time flew by like a flash and I can't believe July is almost over!  Here's my share of favorite reads for the month of July!  This month's edition is more of, "Nikki is lemming for..." edition.  These beauties posted a couple of stuffs on their blog that stirs up my interest!  Gosh, computer screen shopping time!


Would you believe that Maybelline Volum' Express Cat Eyes Mascara comes in special edition tube?  To all Hello Kitty lovers out there, or even myself who likes HK but not that much.  I am really looking into purchasing this cute tube as I told PB of My Women Stuff how it'll be a nice conversation starter especially for makeup artists like myself!

I have used I Nuovi makeup when I was sent for reviews.  The brand is really nice and I love their products thus I repurchased on my last Hong Kong visit.  After reading I Nuovi Illumina Skin Illuminating Pre-Makeup Base from Connie of Skin Deco, I seriously noted it down on my organizer's "to buy" list just in case....just in case I'll travel to a country that sells I Nuovi cosmetics!

A dear friend Jenn of Lipglosseater is known to be the "Asian Site" to go to for the most recent MAC Collections.  She swatches them and its definitely "window shopping" online!  I don't follow MAC Collections but there's a post on MAC In the Groove Collection Review + Swatches wherein she showed her newly purchased Well Prepared Kit.  I have to get one!!!

Another "must have" for AMW.  Xin of Pretty Beautiful talks about her new organizer she got from her dear friend.  When I saw the photo?  I was salivating like crazy because my old "organizer" needs to be thrown out and I definitely need a new one!  Want to know how it looks like?  Click  Double as Bag Organizer - Roo Avion De Papier.

And my "want" never ends.  Well this time, it's a "need", need this for my makeup clients.  Syen of So Loverly posted her new finds from Daiso.  I call it her Eureka Moment as she found inexpensive oil blotters housed in a very cute packaging (my kind of stuffs).  Head on to Review: Daiso Blotters and holler if we have it down here locally!  I will hoard, don't stop me please!

And let's talk about another base!  Yani of Red Luscious Lips shares her wonderful find when she blogged about Just Trying: Lancome BB Base.  I've seen her photo after using the Lancome’s UV Expert GN-Shield High Potency Active Protection BB Base, I want to head on to Lancome right now and check it out if its available locally!

Happy Reading!

Beauty Bloggers Top Picks of 2009


Thanks to my dearest friend Paris Beaverbanks for including me in the beauty bloggers top picks 2009!  It was hard to pick just one but I thought of one product/tool that I've been consistently using and find it quite difficult NOT to touch it on a daily basis...you'll know what mine is!  But let's read on for the other's beauty picks for the past year!

Tine of Beautyholics Anonymous picks Clinique’s Turnaround Concentrate Visible Skin Renewer Serum and says “It’s a pity it doesn’t work for everyone, but I’m so glad it works very well for me. Hello smooth skin!”

Yani of Red Luscious Lips chose as her top pick the Chanel Rouge Allure Lacque.

Connie of Skindeco highlights the RMK Powder Foundation EX for 2009.



Xin of PrettyBeautiful went for Stila Smudge Pots which she says is a lifesaver for oily lids.

Nikki of AskMeWhats picked a gadget! The Remington Protect and Shine Pro Soft Curl Tong and she says “This is my ultimate favorite, been using this everyday and it gives a nice soft curl on my hair :)

Kahani, Syen and Eli of Soloverly picked the H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment gel and the Cellnique / B.Liv Pro Sebum Gel as their top picks of 2009.

Paris B of My Women Stuff couldn’t pick just 1 item but eventually settled for the Dior Serum de Rouge lipstick – every girl should have one!

Now if you can only pick one...
What's yours?
