Something New: Benetton Body Mists

I have always looked up to "United Colors of Benetton" in terms of its' driving force to "Unite People" of all ages, skin tone and sexes.  The concept of the company has always been shown on various print ads and I love each and every one of them!

As we all know, we are living in the world of diversity especially with the presence of internet, the world has become "one" and has been a source of inspiration to everyone!  I have to say, I was inspired by international bloggers all across the globe!  

Being "ONE" doesn't necessarily mean we have to be the same as the rest of the world!  Inspired by diversity, finally, a new collection was made from all ingredients around the world for us to show our individuality ---

The Body Mists Collection

by United Colors of Benetton

Php499.95 (approx $12.50)

"Use the World As Your Inspiration"

Currently, I have 2 scents on hand in which I love to depend on for everyday freshness!  

• Refreshing Apple - "The Scent reminds the Australian beaches and makes you feel like if you were surfing on a refreshing apple wave."
• Arousing Watermelon - "The Scent reminds the unexpected South African vibe and lets you feel the fresh watermelon vibe."

**Note: Details of scents taken from United Colors of Benetton.

With the new fresh and inexpensive body mists available from Benetton, are you willing to give these inexpensive body mists a try?  

I am glad United Colors of Benetton is coming up with more variation of scents!  The most recent Benetton Nero and Benetton Bianco has been a hit in the AMW household!  I've been saving mine while Mr. AMW was probably spritzing like crazy! :P

** Benetton Body Mists are available at Fresh Fragrance Bar stores located at Eastwood Mall, Alabang Town Center, Abreeza Mall, Marquee Mall, Lucky China Town and Centrio Mall.

Nail Art Tutorial: Colorful Leopard Prints

Happy Tuesday AMW friends!  Today, I will be sharing another very simple nail art design good for short nails and even better for first time nail art designers!  As my tummy is growing bigger and bigger each week, I've decided to keep my nail art designs as simple as possible as I'm getting ready to be the busy "mom" I'll soon be!  

Animal prints have alway been an easy yet "head turner" type of nail art design.  This time, to create a lively vibe on the usual Leopard Print, I've decided to make it colorful!  Of course, there's no such Leopard in this world with such colorful prints but we can always bend rules and create nail art designs we like!

Step 1:

Apply 2 coats of your preferred base.  Since I want to make the colorful prints pop, I've decided to use a matte white polish from Orly Nail Lacquer called Day Glow.  Let dry.

AMW Reviews: Sleek Face Form Kit (Light)

Hi Ho everyone!  

Did you rest well over the weekend?  I sure did and I can't wait to share another review on a new found Face Form Kit from Sleek!  Sleek MakeUp has been known internationally for creating good quality makeup with a price that makes us (consumers) smile!  I haven't tried much from this brand but based on my past SLEEK Makeup experience ---

Sleek MakeUp PPQ Me Myself and Eye

Sleek MakeUp Blush in Flamingo

Sleek MakeUp Pout Paints

Looking back at my previous reviews, all of them gain positive reviews from me so I can't wait to give the Sleek MakeUp Face Form Kit a try!  I know most AMW readers are on a hunt for good, inexpensive face contour/highlight kit that works!  Could this be it?  Could this be love? *singing*

Weekend Food Trip at: Manang's Chicken

Happy Sunday AMW Friends!  Thank you so much for the wonderful birthday greetings I received over the week and it was surreal as I felt like I know each and every one of you through blogging! :)  Can we have a group hug please?  *hugs*

A usual laid-back Sunday was put on hold last week as I had to do some errands with the ever sweet hubby!  We had brunch before we left home and headed to wherever the meeting should be (yes, on a Sunday!)  and we went straight to my mom's place to drop by some documents after paying our bills at SM Sta. Mesa. I promise you that I steered away from Ilocos Empanada for a change and focused on eating something else!  Come on, who wants an orange colored baby?  *knocks on wood*  hahaha

It was funny as Mr. AMW was craving for Casa Naimas Bibingka so we drove to Tomas Morato, after picking up his Bibingka take away, we've decided to use the gift certificate we have from Manang's Chicken.

The first and last time I've tried Manang's Chicken was a year ago during Best Food Forward event (blog post HERE).  Don't get me wrong, I love the chicken but I haven't been back because I was staying away from eating chicken as I do get some allergies on them! 

Fast forward, I'm glad Manang's Chicken has broadened their menu and they have pork dishes available for customers like ME! 

I was really hungry at 3pm so I headed straight to the counter to give my orders!  *laughs*

Here's the overview of what we had for the day!

 Macaroni Salad Regular

Buttered Corn Regular

Php29.00 each (approx $0.73)

The Macaroni Salad is a huge check same as buttered corn!  These are 2 side dishes I would always order in any restaurant and I'm glad Manang's Chicken didn't go wrong offering these!

 Large Chips with 2 Dips

available dips: Creamy Cheese, Garlic Mayo and Spicy Ketchup

Php64.00 (approx $1.60)

Really crispy, thinly sliced potatoes that works so well with Garlic Mayo (my favorite out of all the dips).  I like the fact that the potatoes weren't soaked in oil!

Garlic Pork Fillet Meal

Php109.00 (approx $2.73)

This meal comes with 2 free drinks, both I had Lemonade while Mr. AMW went for Iced tea.  The Garlic Pork Fillet is very crispy and fried into perfection.  If you're not a fan of garlic chips, I strongly suggest you ask to have these garlic bits separated as it could overwhelm you.  As for me, I'm okay with it.  The dip isn't the usual gravy but vinegar dip instead.

 

Red Velvet Sundae

Php49.00 (approx $ 1.23)

The Red Velvet Sundae is supposed to be available only for the month of February but I was told they will extend it until March 31, 2013!  Yay!!! Both Mr. AMW and I enjoyed the warm red velvet cake as creamy soft smooth vanilla ice cream melts inside our mouth!  The extra sprinkles reminded us so much of our childhood days we had to close our eyes and enjoy the moment!

 

 Overall, I'm happy the restaurant offers variation of "Barkada Sets" (Group Sets) that would help us save money at the same time enjoy variety of food they offer! 

Overall, prices were reasonable and I took a peek at their kitchen area and they're quite clean at the Tomas Morato branch that we visited!  They have FREE WIFI for dine-in customers to the social savvy out there!

Before I end this post, you may be interested to join their "Eat, Snap, Win" Photo Contest running until March 31, 2013.  Anyone who dine at Manang's Chicken can submit their photo entries on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter to win an exclusive lunch treat!  Full mechanics can be viewed on their FB Page.

Something New: L'Oreal Revitalift Laser X3

I was one of the lucky few who were chosen to receive the FIRST EVER latest innovation from L'Oreal Paris Dermo-Expertise called Revitalift Laser X3!  The name, the packaging itself looks amazing no wonder the newest product line took various countries by storm!

I personally haven't tested any L'Oreal Revitalist products except their facial mask but my brother has always been buying these for my mom especially the serum and eye creams!  I haven't taken any before and after shots of my mom as I have to admit, she isn't that consistent with her skincare application but all I can say is that my mom doesn't look her age! 

Here are some of the results after testing Revitalift Laser X3 by users ---

• Proven effective on pores and lines.
• No measurable difference vs. laser treatments.
• Performs even better than laser on skin smoothness and bounciness.

Renewing Anti-Aging Serum

Php1,399.00 (approx $34.97)

According to L'Oreal's Expert Advise ---

"The serum contains micro-particles that are full of active ingredients, so for optimum application, give them time to penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis.  The gentle circular movements are key to helping the active ingredients penetrate the skin."

New Skin Anti-Aging Cream

Php1,299.00 (approx $32.48)

According to L'Oreal's Expert Advise ---

"Spread the cream directly over the entire face.  Use your fingertips to massage into the skin with circular movements, moving from the bottom to the top of the face as well as around the eyes (inner corner toward outer corner) and on the neck.  For full effectiveness, it is advisable to apply Revitalift Laser X3 Cream both morning and evening.  For maximum results, follow this protocol twice daily."

Anti-Aging Tranforming Eye Cream

Php899.00 (approx $22.47)

According to L'Oreal's Expert Advise ---

 "For sensitive eyes, avoid applying the cream too close to the lashes and favor the area closer to the brows."

I may only have one face and my mom and sister are currently on their skincare regimen at the moment.  Don't worry, I still have a mom-in-law who recently finished the skincare product she's using and I'll definitely let her test this range out and I'll report once I get some insights from her! :)

**Revitalift Laser X3 is available in all leading department stores nationwide.

Which particular product mentioned above would you particularly want to try?
I am most interested with the Revitalift Laser X3 Anti-Aging Transforming Eye Cream!
