How to: Quick Day Time Look

Good morning AMW friends!  Today is another "This is How I Do it" series!  I was asked by one of my reader how I usually do my makeup on a regular work-day!  Well, since I work from home, I usually go "bare-faced" but on days I need to go somewhere for a quick event or meeting, here's how I create a look that I'm very comfortable with and I'm sure I still look like myself!  (Hopefully, the better version! :P)

Here are some of the products I used ----

AMW Reports: Yves Rocher Store Visit

Last weekend was crazy, I was pumped to be busy but the rain stopped me and turned me into a cute piglet!  *laughs*  Nevertheless, I'm glad I was able to attend the Yves Rocher Bloggers Event at Trinoma Mall.  Thanks to Mr. AMW for driving me as I dislike driving to Trinoma!  (Don't ask me why, hihihi!) 

I'm glad I wasn't late and I breezed through the store like I've been there gazillion times!  I'm glad to see familiar faces, my friend Vianca (my ex-colleague) is now the Brand Manager of Yves Rocher Philippines!  So proud of her!

I am not new to Yves Rocher brand as I have read and researched so much about the brand (for work) and we were actually placing some candidates to work for Yves Rocher, China years ago!  I just can't believe they're finally here and I get to see what they were talking about regarding the good price points and the power of plants! 

Yves Rocher, a French brand, is a plant-based cosmetics products.  The brand is actually regarded as France's pioneer of botanical beauty! 

Nail Art Tutorial: Dots, Sparkles & Colors

I've had my Aztec print inspired nails for more than a week and I found myself checking them out once in awhile for inspiration and probably just to uplift my mood!  For such a quick glance, it does give me the sense of colors and happiness and I find it a bit difficult on my part to remove it after both nails on the pinky fingers have already chipped!

Instead of gloating on losing colorful prints, why not create another one that's even brighter and more colorful?  This nail art suits the dark, gloomy weather over the weekend!

Step 1:

Apply your preferred base coat prior to any nail polish application, as soon as the base coat is completely dry, apply 2 coats of a neutral, peachy-nude polish shade and let dry.  In this tutorial, I am using BW Nail Polish gifted to me by my friend.

Weekend Food Tripping at: Five Cows (2nd Time Around)

I haven't been back in Trinoma for the longest time! That's why when I was invited to celebrate Yves Rocher's First Year Anniversary at Trinoma, I searched online right away for "Restaurants at Trinoma".  *hahaha*  I'm that addicted to food!  

I had Ramen X in mind all along but we changed our mind since we haven't gone back to the Five Cows Resto & Ice Cream Bar for 2 years plus!  (Smile and click HERE to read about our first visit.)

It was fun as Jheng and Kira told us they  haven't tried this restaurant.  I told them the ice cream cakes are to die for!  So off we went together with Krissy who joined in after watching a movie!

Baked Spinach and Cheese Spread

Php185.00 (approx $4.30)

Spinach, cheese sauce and bruschetta

This was a hit!  A perfect appetizer for any meal!  We love how we get to enjoy spinach and cheese together as a spread on a slice of bruschetta.

Beef with Creamy Bigarade Sauce

Php295.00 (approx $6.90)

spiced US beef, orange, liquer sauce,

buttered vegetables and basil butter rice

The beef itself was cooked very tender, we weren't asked how we would like our meat but it was cook medium rare which is okay for us!  We actually asked for gravy on the side as the basil butter rice tastes a bit dry without it!  Thankfully, Five Cows Staff were very friendly and we were given a good serving of gravy which works perfectly with the beef and rice!  

I kept on exclaiming: "Save some space for dessert!  Save some space for dessert!"  *laughs*  Okay, this was the moment I was waiting for!

Blueberry Ice Cream Cheesecake

Php190.00 (approx$4.40)

At first glance, it is a bit pricey for s lice but once it was served, the slice was quite huge and it's meant for sharing!  I love the texture of the Blueberry Ice Cream with real blueberry bits in between.  The graham crackers at the bottom part gives a nice texture to the overall smoothness of the ice cream.  Will definitely order again!  I'm craving for another slice right now!

The service was good.  The restaurant accepts cash and credit card and they charge for service!

AMW Reports: Kerastase Chroma Captive Launch

I put this photo up on "Instagram" and said: "K for Keith!" 

Don't you just love this table centerpiece?  It's not the usual floral vases or pots but it's a huge K shaped and designed with red petals!  Obviously, "K" is not for Keith but Kerastase!

Kerastase has always been termed "The Best Luxury Hair Care".  When I visit the salon, most of the time, I was advised to undergo Kerastase treatment to liven up my dull, dry and super sensitized hair! 

To learn more about the most recent and successful hair care range for color-treated hair, we were invited last Tuesday at the 3rd floor of W Tower, Global City Taguig.
