AMW Bulletin: Jorgendipity.com

Hi AMW friends!  Remember my post about The Rose Fever because of this guy named Jorgen?  Everyone who commented mentioned how sweet he was and hope we get to have more guys like him!  (I concur!) 

Because I'm a researcher by nature (in short: Chismosa), I went ahead and Google-d Jorgen and found a site dedicated and written for him by a girl named Christine.

Admit it, you're leaving my site now and heading to Jorgendipity website now!  *hmph*  Oh well, a love story is a love story, who doesn't want that?

Jorgendipity, the website reminded me so much of my favorite movie of all time!  Serendipity!  I watched the movie so many times I memorized a lot of their lines!  And ohhhh, remember this line?  “When love feels like magic, you call it destiny. When destiny has a sense of humor, you call it Serendipity.” *sigh*

Back to Jorgendipity!  As I read through posts after posts, I started at her first blog post by the way, I can't help but be reminded of the time I was in love!  I didn't write a blog post then but I have my diary tuck safely inside my "treasure chest"!

(Click photos to read article)

The One --- when we're in love, we always think of the guy we eye on as the ONE, the final one who we get to walk down the aisle with!  Right?  Wrong?  

Well, when Keith became my seat mate senior high, we hit it off instantly!  We were sharing each others' crush-stories during Chinese class and did I ever thought he's the one?  At that very moment, no!  I just thanked God I found myself a new best friend!  It was just an added bonus that he was indeed... "THE ONE!"

Christine may call Jorgen her Knight in Shining Jersey, but I call Keith my "First Aid" (True story, that's my super childish codename for him!)   Why First Aid?  Well, I was having a dramatic moment with my crush then who doesn't give me the time of the day so when Keith came along, I realized, he healed my heart!  *laughs*  Looking back, I'm embarrassed!  So corny! :P

10 Things Christine Love About Jorgen?  Wow, she is definitely in love as that's the exact 10 things + MORE that I love about Keith!  When we get to be in love, we always try to write a list of the things we love about the person, but as years passed by, you also get to know the person better and a list of things we don't like about the person will surely surface!  As for me, true love means accepting the person for who he/she is, the list of pros and cons may go on and on but you'll realize that you'll lose track in counting and just enjoy the moment of spending time with the ONE you love!

AMW Reviews: Moringa O2 Herbal Moisturizing Lotion

When I received a handle of Moringa-O2 products last year, I set it aside as I wasn't in the mood to use any brand of skin care products except Palmer's.  When i finally finished the Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion and I told myself I'm ready to explore other brands of lotion, Moringa-O2 came to mind as my fellow beauty blogger/friend Sophie was raving about it!  

Out of topic, I'm starting to take Malunggay tablets (just in case to increase milk production) so using Malunggay-made products externally made me feel like I'm wearing pink blush with matching pink colored lipstick!  Okay, that's totally unrelated but you girls understand how I feel right?  *laughs*

On my tummy area, I still use oils to protect my skin from stretchmarks and itchiness, as for the rest of my body (arms and legs) I have used Moringa-O2 Herbal Moisturizing Lotion for a month now and here's my feedback on the said inexpensive, proudly Philippine-made brand!

Moringa says --- (information taken from Sample Room)

Moringa O2 combines powerful multi-vitamins, antioxidants and minerals from Malunggay, Olive Oil and Omega to deeply nourish and moisturize dry and sensitive skin.  Moringa O2 is best recommended for those with the following skin conditions:

• For dry and sensitive skin
• For itchy skin
• Aging skin
• Skin asthma and Keratosis Pilaris

AMW says ---
Pros

• Simple yet cute packaging.
• Smells GREAT!  Even better than some international lotion brands I've tried.
• Easily absorbed by the skin.
• Non-greasy.
• Skin remains soft and moisturized the whole day.
• Itchiness was lessened especially on my lower leg area where it itches the most.
• Gives a refreshing feel after massage.

Cons

• None.

Overall
Inexpensive skincare product/brand that works in terms of moisturizing and how it soothes dry, parched skin.

Tips

• Best applied after shower.
• Can be used both day and night.
• Transfer some of the product in a smaller container and use it as your hand cream after every hand wash.

Will I repurchase?
Yes!

To whom do I recommend this to?
Everyone!

Where to purchase and how much?

The texture of Moringa O2 Herbal Moisturizing Lotion is not too thick or watery.

Have you tried Moringa-O2 products?
How about their sister brand Gluta-C?
So far, the only Gluta-C product I've tried is their Whitening Soap but I haven't used it up as I stopped using it upon learning I got pregnant!  So far, my first experience on Moringa-O2 is positive and I can't wait try their Herbal Facial Toner and Herbal Soap!

This is How I Do It: A Super Quick Pop of Color

Colored liners have been around for many years!  It's one of my favorite makeup tricks to look "made up" even though you only spent a minute or 2 in front of the mirror!

As years passed by, different runway shows have showcased various colored liners for impact.  Now, more and more makeup companies are putting our favorite colors up to their pedestal to show that COLORS ROCK!

Some colored liner looks I love....

Today, I will be sharing a very quick and super easy "out of the runway" colored liner look that takes only a minute or less!  This post is dedicated to girls who aren't comfortable using colored eye shadow and wants to add some colors to their daily makeup routine!  Girls, girls girls..this is where we start! :)

In this tutorial, I am too lazy to pick 2 types of product so I ended up with Estee Lauder Pure Color Intense Kajal Eyeliner Duo in Black and Blue.  I'm sure not everyone owns this nifty product so feel free to pick your favorite black and colored liners!

 

Let's start with the black liner, the Estee Lauder Pure Color is a Kajal Liner so this is a super soft and pigmented liner that smudges easily so it is very important to use your favorite oil-control eye primer prior to liner application.  As for me, I used my trustee Urban Decay Primer Potion before proceeding to next step.

 

Using a hand held mirror, I prefer to look down and gently go through the black liner closest to the last line using small, short strokes.  

To some, it is easier to pull your lid upward (gently please!) and fill in excess spaces!  Some would tightline but I prefer to skip the tightlining step as my eyes get a bit sensitive and with our tropical weather, tightlining is a top candidate for smudging and panda eyes!

As soon as you're happy with the upper line, pick your choice of colored liner!  You can opt for Green, yellow, blue or even purple!  As for me, greens work so well for most people with yellow undertone and purple would go well for people with medium to darker skin tone!  Keep in mind that there are no strict rules on which color works best for which skin tone!  Be creative and adventurous!

This is the first baby blue eyeliner color I own as most of my blue colored liners are metallic blues or dark blues!  This color reminded me so much of my favorite crayon! :)

Line the Blue liner on top of the black liner to lessen the harsh line and with short, gentle strokes, smudge both liners close together so you don't get to see 2 separate lines.

 

Some may prefer to wing the outer corner but I prefer to keep it low-key.  As for the lower lash line, I leave it clean to prevent further smudging!  If you want to go further, feel free to use the blue liner and apply it on your lower lash line.

 

Okay, I guess I was smiling too much so the blue liner disappeared a bit, but I promise you, if I'm not smiling, the blue liner shows so well Mr. AMW complimented how cute I look!  (Of course, compliment your wife!  Number 1 rule to a blissful marriage! :P)

Have you tried picking a colored liner and leave the rest of your face clean and simple?
I always get compliments when I do this trick and I hope you guys give it a try! Do let me know what color you're aiming for!

Benefit Perk Up Artist Custom Complexion Correctors Review

Do you need to hide those redness and under eye circles and need some boost on your complexion but  too lazy to reach out for 3 products in the morning?  Well, I'm glad to share that Benefit came up with Perk Up Artist!  The first time I saw the product, I couldn't put my finger on what this product was until I opened the lid!  Come on, you tell me, without reading the description, would you know what this product does??? :P

(Photo below) I have this wild imagination of a portable jukebox playing 1950's song as soon as I open the lid *laughs*  Okay, since he's holding a brush, he COULD be an artist, a painter...or a crazy guy right at the corner of our neighborhood! :P

AMW Reports: The Rose Fever

Hi AMW friends!
How do you feel about receiving a lovely long-stemmed teal colored rose not knowing who it is from?  It could be freaky to some but on a special International Women's Day, it made my day!

I was having dinner with fellow bloggers and friends at Italianni's, High Street when I received this lovely rose with a short note from a man named Jorgen.  The note was short and sweet, and for a pregnant, hormonal woman like me, it made my night! (P.S. hubby wasn't jealous as I wasn't the only one who received this! :P)

To be honest, we asked around who Jorgen is and we got no response but a huge smile from people who sent us the rose.  Well, smile and *kilig* to be exact.  We still do not know who he is as of the moment but we still appreciate him for his sweet gesture.

What made me like Jorgen even more?  Well, the rose-giving didn't end that night, teal roses were handed to random women with short poem celebrating women's day on different places around the Metro!

 Happy Security ladies

Because of this act of sweetness, everyone's definitely wondering who Jorgen really is!  After some research on, where else?  Facebook, I found this --- WHO IS JORGEN? 

It would be great if we all take part in guessing who this sweet guy really is!  Here's a photo I grabbed from their FB page...

Any ideas?

The guessing game is really going to be exciting!  Some clues that I get to gather, he's not an actor.  Okay, just a CLUE lang pala!  Sorry, the people behind this have their lips sealed pretty tight!
