You are So Difficult To Use But...

...the end result is precise!

I'm talking about the newest Liquid Liner from Max Factor X called the Masterpiece High Precision Liquid Liner.  This liner isn't the usual liner you've imagined!  This is unique because of...

The paddle-shaped tip that is rounded (not pointy).

L-R Front and side view of the unique paddle-tip.  This product is said to give the intensity of a liquid liner with the precision of a pencil.  Note:  The tip isn't soft though, it literally felt like plastic paddle so I'm sharing my complete thoughts and how much I dislike/like using this!



According to Max Factor X ---

The intense black, velvet formula glides on smoothly and dries quickly for chic sophistication or bold drama. The paddle-shaped tip gives you two glamorous looks in one: thick and dramatic, or fine and elegant, so you can dial up the drama to suit your look.

• Switch from thick line to thin line in a flash
• Intensity of a liquid eyeliner with the precision of a pencil
• Two looks from one versatile and easy to use paddle tip

Revlon Eyes, Cheeks, Lips Palette in Romantic Nudes Review

Dear Revlon, thank you for creating such an easy-to-tote-around palette that can help me create a full face look because my bag doesn't have space for my personal belongings anymore #mommyhood

The palette I received to test before Christmas last year is called 100 Romantic Nudes and this is a complete Eyes, Cheeks + Lips palette wherein I can create countless makeup looks.  There are a total of 3 coordinated shades to choose from but I'm glad I got the Romantic Nudes because I am claiming the Romantic Gal title!

The palette comes with 6 complementary shadows which includes a mix of matte and shimmers (some can double up as a highlighter shade and brow powder), 4 lip colors (2x lipstick and 2x Lipglosses) and 1 blush.  The palette is around 6x4 inches (not exact measurement) and slim enough to tote anywhere.  

Oh hey, if you didn't see, it comes with a small mirror too!

Revlon Eyes, Cheeks, Lips Palette in Romantic Nudes Says ---

Create countless makeup looks with just one palette. Universally flattering shades of our best selling eyeshadow, blush and lipsticks. Available in 3 expertly coordinated shades.

Shades: Berry In Love, Seductive Smokies and Romantic Nudes

L'Oreal Infallible 10H LongWear Lipstick Review

So you all know about the Infallible #NeverFail Challenge by now!  I've done a recent IG contest and someone already won!  Congratulations!  (winner tagged on IG comment)

The winner may have been picked but the challenge isn't over!  All I can say for the base makeup is that, they last longer than regular makeup and I can get away without the Infallible Setting Spray, I don't know why but I'm not really a fan of it because I probably have too much moisture I want to retain!

Today, I will be sharing the 5 L'Oreal Infallible Lipsticks I own and will also share how I like (or maybe dislike) these long-wearing lipsticks?

The 5 shades worn by yours truly.

What's your favorite?

L'Oreal Infallible 10H LongWear Lipstick says ---

"A moisturizing, long-lasting lipstick with a demi-matte finish.  Delivers up to 10 hours of vivid, high-definition color; leaves a gorgeous, healthy sheen; formula mattifies when blotted; hydrates lips with Vitamin E for moist, comfortable lips; creamy, conditioning base won’t dry or flake off ."

Packaged in a simple black, non-L'Oreal-looking kind of packaging.  I kinda like the change and I like the newer, sleeker look of the product on tube!

Cafe Voi La, Tagaytay Review

We spent a couple of weekends ago at Tagaytay just because we wanted to get out of the Metro and relax.  Well, truth be told, it wasn't that relaxing as our lunch was served so late we stuffed ourselves with food at 3-4pm and even stayed for a late afternoon coffee + snacks.  Just when we planned to go back to home-sweet-home, it was extremely traffic so we did what most families would do.... stay somewhere else (like restaurant) and wait for traffic to ease up.

To make the long story short, it did not ease up and got worst, but at least, we had late dinner at Cafe Voi La which is actually a lovely surprise.

The restaurant is located at Alpine Village Crosswinds and you may need to call for reservations especially on weekends because the place is packed!  I didn't get to take photos of the restaurant outside as it was extremely dark when we got there!  All I have is a lovely family photo for you to see the interior of the restaurant.

Well there could probably be changes on the restaurant interior as it isn't Christmas or New Years season anymore.  But rest assured you get the feel of home with extra "oomph".  Unique furniture in bright and vibrant colors, the restaurant itself seems like a nice "spot" just to relax and take photos!  Everything will be Instagram-worthy I tell you!

Now let's talk about the food.  Since we were all stuffed, we've decided to lie low with our orders!  But looking at the menu, this restaurant serves Asian dishes mostly fusion.  

Special Senator's Salad

Php395.00

Assorted green lettuce, paper thin slice of smoked salmon, grilled prawns, 

shiitake mushrooms garnished with parmesan shavings.

I am quite impressed with this simple salad, indeed, I understand the reason why this was highly recommended by the server.

Brands to Watch Out For from Bhagi's International

I was invited a couple of days ago experience, swatch, play and get-to know professional quality European and US brands distributed by Bhagi's International.  Yes AMW friends, Bhagi's International is a company to thank for because brands that we only get to read from our favorite international beauty bloggers are finally within reach!  Brands like Catrice Cosmetics, Deborah Milano, Essence Cosmetics, Flormar Cosmetics, Jordana USA and Il Salone.  Adding up to these brands are fragrance brands called Joe of London and Entity.

 All thanks to Liz Lanuzo and Project Vanity team for inviting me and for being such lovely hosts!  I also had a blast chatting with Bhagi's International GM Ms. Eileen.  With just a quick and meaningful chat with her, I understood pretty well why she is such a successful individual, this lady got the passion for beauty!

It was a shopping party guys, and thankfully, I'm your friendly AMW who kinda knew what readers want!  So I went ahead and shopped everything I planned to review for you (well, my secret was, I asked Eileen the bestseller of each brand and I picked them!  I call that a cheat sheet!)

Are you ready?  Let's go!
