Readers' Corner: Q&A Portion to Jumpstart 2015

Hi AMW friends!
Today, I will be answering some queries I get from my email!  I think I have to do this or else, I will be loaded forever!  :P  Don't get me wrong, I am very happy with all your emails because that keeps me going!  If you wonder how I get the time to blog?  That's for you to find out *winks*  Just joking, I do so in between breaks!  When I have coffee break or right now, a Calamansi juice break! 

Reader Question #1
"What should I invest on aside from makeup kit and brushes if I plan to pursue a career in makeup artistry?"

AMW Answers:
Okay, my answer may probably surprise you but I can actually  put this in an "Unsung Hero" post.  After years of doing makeup, I realized how important Z-Palette is (or any customizable palettes available in the market) for a PRO MUA like me!  Especially when I started to go on gigs on my own, lugging a huge Zuca bag, it is very difficult to transfer from one place to another (ALONE) with a luggage full of makeup, a huge mirror and a bag!  

I first "depotted" all my face powders and transferred it to my first Pink Z-Palette and I realized not only does it help lessen the load of my kit, it is very easy for me to do retouch as I only need to carry 1 palette instead of 6 compacts!  

I got more Z-palettes and I plan to depot some of my blushes and contour/highlight powders!  

I got my 2nd Z-palette online via Shopping District


Reader Question #2
"Nikki, can you recommend a lipgloss brand that has wide range of colors just like MAC but lesser the price tag?"

Unboxing: BDJ Corporate Chic and October 2014 Skin Savers

Before October ends, I want to share my unboxing expeience on BDJ Box!
I originally got the Corporate Chic "pouch" which isn't housed in the usual BDJ Box, instead, it comes with a very cute Simply She Cosmetic Pouch!  

Corporate Chic was put together by the BDJ team to help us "working ladies" look presentable when you're working from nine to five.  As for me, my work schedule is crazy!  I even work at 12mn when Baby AMW is asleep!  So yeah....with little time for myself, I need quick and easy fix to make me look presentable (not losyang)

Simply She Cosmetic Pouch
Php400.00


Don't judge the pouch for its' size, it is small yet super terrible!  Terribly WONDERFUL!  Daily beauty essentials for the face and hair!

AMW Reports: Evening of Indulgence with Pureology

When companies support and give commitment to help the nature, I have high respect for the company and the brand.  One brand gives back to nature --- PUREOLOGY.



I've seen Pureology ad on glossies recently and the brand itself is a bit new to me, when I got an invite to discover new signature services offered by Pureology and how they took part to help save our environment, I am very excited to learn more about it and share it to all of you!

The event was held at Terrace at the 5th, Greenbelt 5.  The setting was really nice and cozy.  Cocktails were served as we chatted with familiar faces.


I learned that night that two hours away from Manila lies a town of Teresa, a part of Rizal province.  The province established its own Integrated Solid Waste Management Facility or ISWMF.  One of Teresa's priority projects is the production of concrete products with a special ingredient --- residual plastics.

A video was shown creating concrete products with 'wastes' sold commercially and significantly cheaper.  This project creates a wonderful impact to our environment and at the same time, help the people of Teresa have a better livelihood.

Pureology salutes the Municipality of Teresa Rizal for their commitment to and success in protecting and preserving the environment.


Pureology also celebrates and congratulates the 2 Filipinos who became the First Certified Pureologist in Asia.  Alex Carbonell of Studio Fix by Alex Carbonell and Chrissy Calderon-Uy of Hairworks Salon.  Both of them attended the Pureologist Certification Training held in Kuala Lumpure, Malaysia.

Every bottle of Pureology purchased at selected salons, Php1.00/bottle will be donated to help make a town cleaner and a more beautiful place to live in!  I salute you Pureology!  This is an advocate I wish more companies would implement!  Of course, there's always our own responsibility to help save our environment!  It's a joint effort!


Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
