Love, Bonito Opens in Greenbelt 3 (ANNOUNCEMENT!)

 

PSA!
Public Service Announcement!

Love, Bonito officially opens its' doors last July 12th at Greenbelt 3 for Media and their VIP members.  Unfortunately, there were some issues in store (aircon broke down) and they have decided to move the official opening to a latter date.

Truth be told, it was hell shopping inside a humid store but their staffs were so friendly and helpful I forgot I was drenched in perspiration.  After seeing their announcement of not pushing through the Grand Opening for Public this July 13th, it gave me a nice sense of "I am a fan of the right brand!"  A brand that cares for the customers instead of sales because they can just push through opening and rack sales here and there even with discomfort from customers.

And NO, I am not "ass-wiping" or getting paid to write this article, I am really just a fan of this brand in general as they really make good, quality clothes that I personally shopped online through the years for so many times!  (Especially SALE Season!) 

That said, I am one of the many who got super excited to see this brand PHYSICALLY in PH!

So even when I am drenched with sweat, I am still happily shopping in their store!  Thankfully, I knew my size by heart so I did not even get to try them inside their dressing rooms!  I just went for my gut ! 

If unlike me, you still do not have the "gut" to shop without trying, please follow Love, Bonito on their instagram page to know their official opening date!

But just a quick preview, I took some photos of the store so you'll know what to expect when you get to visit!  

There are many key pieces that you can wear and re-wear on many occasions!

 

Also love this section of the store.  I wished I got that white top!  It look so sexy!

Shopping at Love, Bonito won't be complete if you don't try their blazers! I mean the Philippines is so hot but if you work inside an office, this is definitely a staple in the closet!  I own a couple of Blazers from Love, Bonito and I want more!

I love this rack as you can create a number of outfit by just mixing and matching all these.

More pieces to watch out for for that classy look.

With Fashion creators I look up to!
Angel and Max (Fresh from CDO!)

My OOTD is all Love, Bonito of course!

Happy Shopping!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

Weekend Food Trip at: Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

The restaurant Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. has been around for so many years at Greenbelt Branch.  I would know because young Nikki and Keith would hover around the area wondering when we'll have the budget to dine in such restaurant!  #laughs  (Pero seriously, kuripot lang kami sa pagkain nung panahon na yon! #ShoppingOverFood)

But as we grow older, priorities changed, Food is Life na - aside from Coffee.

It was one of those weekends we go out with my husband's family.  I've decided to never mind the drive from Manila to Makati on a Sunday but heck was it super traffic at Roxas Blvd.  We hoped the food would be worth it for the hour plus drive!

Cajun Shrimp

Php425.00

Sauteed in hot and spicy Cajun Butter sauce. Served with garlic bread for dipping.

Serving is quite small for the price but we love the hint of spiciness and sweetness on fresh shrimps!  Yes, I can tell that shrimps are fresh because I didn't end up with crazy allergies!  The garlic bread is TDF (To Die For!) 

Make Up For Ever Artist Face Color Launch

As a make up artist, you would think that I enjoy piling on makeup on my own face..well, you're wrong!  If you are a good friend of mine, a family member or just a long-time AMW reader, you would know that my default makeup look would be....

THIS!

Full brows, lined eyes, colored yet highlighted cheeks and glossy gradient lips!

I'm definitely not getting any younger so the phrase "Less Is More" really applies to me!

When I visited Make Up For Ever Greenbelt branch for a mini gathering to get to know their newest product range.  I came to know the different looks in trend right now.

Do you want a Draping with Millenial Pink Look?  A Dewy Rose Tint? A Sculpted Glow or just full on Glow For It?

All possible with the newest range called Artist Face Color --- brace yourself, 34 shades of blush, highlighter and sculpting powder right in front of me!  I was in shocked and literally brain was in face color heaven!

Make Up For Ever Make Up Service Menu

One of the most sought after professional make up brand that I heavily rely on is Make Up For Ever.  Aside from the fact that their products NEVER fail me, I also love to use them personally especially their HD line.

When I got an invite to visit their store at Greenbelt branch, I can't say NO to the said invite because, would you believe, I've never stepped in the store?  I usually visit their Megamall branch so this is such a refreshing change.

The Make Up For Ever boutique at Greenbelt is a "swatch-lovers' haven".  All their products are displayed so neatly and you get to see everything at a glance.

I like their Best Sellers Bar where you get to know the brand's top selling products even if you are just a newbie who just walked in the store!  I always advice my make up loving friends to ask the Beauty Advisers on the brand's best-selling product/s as to not to get too overwhelmed with the variety of products displayed.

It doesn't hurt that Make Up For Ever displayed ALL their brushes!  From face brushes to eye brushes!  Even my heart makes a bit of an extra "fluttering" upon seeing this display.

Beauty Discovery with Shiseido, Guerlain and Elizabeth Arden

When invited for a "Beauty Discovery", who can say  no to that especially since I've been living and breathing "anything Beauty-Related" for the past 2 decades?  (yes friends, I've been holding and touching makeup as young as 16 years old applying makeup on classmates during school plays!

Brands Shiseido, Guerlain and Elizabeth Arden unveiled their 2017 Spring/Summer Collections in Ayala Mall's Greenbelt 5 Gallery.

Let's start with Elizabeth Arden, I have always known about the brand for their effective skincare products, I have stocked up so much on their Eight Hour Cream and little do I know the brand has so much more to offer!

The cream has its' own version called the Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist!

AMW Reports: Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics Christmas 2014 Gift Guide

 You know Christmas season is near when you see snowman! And you know the season's going to be unique when you're holding a "Gold Snowman!"

Rewind to the gold snowman making day, I got an invite to have a look at Lush Christmas 2014 Gift Ideas. 

Prior to the event, I received a Lush gift several months ago and my heart literally fluttered like the butterfly.

It broke my heart to use these cuties but I shared these with my nephew who enjoyed this so much I knew Lush has to be part of my Christmas gift-giving list for the year 2014.

 When you enter a Lush store, you'll know that Lush has a whole selection of festive gifts for different personalities that matters to you. 

During the event, we were all asked if we want to build a Snowman.  Of course I said yes!
