How To Fake Flawless, Glowing Skin + My favorite Makeup Look

Hi AMW Friends!  Tomorrow, I'll be turning 36!  Eeek!  

So my makeup style nowadays has been centered on faking healthy, flawless and glowing skin!  Because in real life (without makeup), my skin is dull and lifeless from lack of sleep!  I have also been posting "selfies" whenever I attend events with my favorite makeup style!  And some of you dear readers were asking for a tutorial for that specific favorite makeup look of mine! (thank you!)

This is a Photo-torial post so please bear with me!  Don't get tired seeing my face okay :D

My current favorite Glowing Skin, Flawless Face and Natural makeup to make me look *ahem* younger.

Step 1: Brows
This step may be in the middle or last, depending on your preference, I prefer to do my brows first!  In this tutorial, I used Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Brow Powder.

Why I'm Starting to Like Purple Lips!

Yes, I am starting to like deep purple lipsticks!  

The first one I tried was from Inglot Berry Obsession Collection and the shade is 293.  I got a lot of positive feedback regarding this color --- all thanks to you guys for the love so I'm getting more comfortable wearing this shade!

Now, the Inglot Shade 293 is a favorite of mine but may be too dramatic for daytime look!  So off to search for a more wearable purple lipstick and guess what?  I recently received a lipstick from TCFS called Hot Girl Lip Sticker.

Here it is....

How To: Bright Beautiful Skin with Korean Skincare

I love Korean Food, Korean Dramas, Korean actors and actresses.  In short, I love the country Korea - the people and their culture!  And let's not forget, one of my favorite makeup artist is called Pony!  She is a well-known Korean Make Up Artist who looks very pretty!  You've probably seen her face at Etude House Posters! (I spotted a big one at SM Sta Mesa!)

Don't you just love how gorgeous their skin look even without makeup?  One reason why I am really looking into Korean skincare products nowadays!  I've been a loyal Korean masks user for years!  But skincare/  Not so!  Starting 2015, I'm definitely going for Asian made skincare!  What do you think?

Unboxing: Summer Radiance BDJ Box (May)

Happy Thursday AMW friends!
Yesterday I thought will be just another boring day but I ended up on my dentist's chair for at least an hour for tooth extraction!  I will spare you the gory details but I just want to keep reminding everyone to go to the dentist at least once every 6 months because I forgot about taking care of my teeth when Baby AMW was born and I know it's not a good excuse!  Yup, this is a friendly reminder to schedule your next dentist appointment!

Back to beauty talk, I received BDJ Box for the month of May and every month, I get more and more excited to take a peek on what's in store for me!  Thanks to "Summer Radiance" box, the BDJ box focuses on bringing back glowing skin perfect for the last stretch of summer season!  

AMW Reviews: Too Cool For School Egg Mousse Pack

Happy Saturday!
My US Trip will be over soon!  I'm heading back to Manila on Sunday (US time, it's a Monday Philippine time).  I will definitely miss both cities I've visited and of course, my dear friends and relatives whom we spent quality time with along the way.  Though Kyle won't be able to remember all these, I'm sure he appreciates the cool weather :)

Today, I will be sharing a review on one of the few facial "mousse" that I've tried.  I'm not really a fan of masks and I don't have the luxury of time to really test them out but the newest one from Too Cool For School perked up my interest!  We all know how good egg is for our skin so having a "packed" egg mousse pack ready to be used anytime of the day is something I look forward to!  I have to be honest with you guys though, I've used this not more than 5 times so my review could be premature!  Don't worry, I'll definitely update this post if there are any changes!

Too Cool for School Egg Mousse Pack is a wash off type essence pack with very soft texture.  It forms very fine lather like genuine mousse, helping remove excessive sebum and impurities without leading to tight sensation in addition to the functions of whitening, moisturizing and nourishing.  The contained protein and vitelline extracted mainly from eggs are great skin moisturizers to refine your skin and make the skin shine with radiance.

AMW Reviews: Too Cool For School Glam Rock Smoky Nudy Lip Color

Hi everyone!  Good day!  I hope you're in a mood today as I'm in a mood to share my favorite nude lipstick as of date!  I have shown my Too Cool For School Glam Rock look using 3 star products from the collection and I have requests asking me to review the lipstick!

Your wish will always be my command!  Not in an instant, but I listen! :D  Don't I deserve a hug?

I am so addicted in creating my own shade of lipsticks nowadays and my favorite base?  Too Cool For School Smoky Nudy Lip Color from the Glam Rock collection.  Why?  Because this color doesn't make me look sick yet it is hydrating enough not to enhance my super dry, patchy lips!  If you haven't gotten the chance to find the perfect nude lipstick until now..head on to TCFS stores and try this on!  This may work for you just like it worked for me!

Too Cool For School Smoky Nudy Lip Color in Satin Beige

TCFS says ---

Glossy lipstick never goes well with smoky eyes-say yes to natural edgy nudy lipstick.

Less glossy, more of a soft touch, it stick closely to your lips with a touch.

 

Shades: Pale Beige and Satin Beige

AMW Version: Too Cool For School Glam Rock

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I hope my huge smiling photo can brighten up your day!  Okay, I don't look like I had makeup on or probably I look sick to some of you but really, I'm not, I'm just trying to "rock" the "Glam Rock" look and that means, Nude Lips too!  Seriously, I can never look good with a nude colored lipstick minus smokey eye makeup but what the heck?  I want to challenge myself to create a subtle version of Glam Rock look inspired by Too Cool For School Glam Rock collection using only 3 of the makeups from this collection.  As for which particular products I used?  Well, I made it a bit too easy for you,  you can see me holding them!  #feelingmodel

Thanks Too Cool For School for sending me these 3 products last year!  I never thought I could actually wear nude lipstick without much makeup on!  Seriously, I went out with the look I created above and so far, I wasn't asked if I'm sick or feeling under the weather!  That's a first!  I always get the: "Nikki, do you feel okay?" or "Nikki, you didn't sleep well no?" whenever I wear nude lipsticks!

AMW Reports: Too Cool For School, SM MOA

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
Do you want to go "cyber shop" with me?  I've learned about Too Cool for School (the brand) years ago when I visited Seoul, Korea.  Through my sister-in-law, I learned we already have a branch locally and I'm so lucky their first branch is nearer to where I live, SM Mall of Asia.

Since I was at SM Mall of Asia weeks ago for my Brow Wax session at Benefit Boutique, I've decided to visit Too Cool for School to check out what's new and what's exciting with the brand! 

I will share to you the star products that caught my attention.  To be honest, the store is a bit overwhelming as there are so many products to choose from.  Not to mention, the products are packaged in very cute and unique packaging!  Any girl who is into makeup can easily go crazy inside the store!
