Benefit Fake Up Hydrating Crease-Control Concealer Review






One of the most awaited, "wanting to get my hands on" products early this year is the newest Benefit Fake up!  Why?  Well, don't we all love the power of concealers but dislikes the drying effect it gives especially on the under eye area?  I've been searching high and low for hydrating concealers not only for myself but for clients in general!  I have a good amount of clients who needed the extra concealing on the under eye area but most concealers I used tend to crease on them!  What do I do?  I mix my favorite concealers with an oil-free eye moisturizer and it's an extra step I do for the love of beauty!  

As for today's generation, shooting 2 birds in one stone is the real deal!  Finally, someone thought of a product that moisturizes the under eye area and conceals altogether!  Isn't that a lovely "Eureka Moment?"

AMW Reviews: K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyepencil (Waterproof)

Who loves to use eye pencils? 
*raises hand* I do!  I may be a gel and liquid liner user for years but given the chance, a busy woman like me loves to use pencil if only they stay longer and doesn't cause me to have Panda-eyes!  Is there such eye pencil?  I recently mentioned in a workshop that there's no such thing that can survive our hot, humid weather.  Look ma!  I talked too soon! 
 I am sure at this point, you've heard great things about the K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyeliner (waterproof)  and as some of you may have ran to the store to purchase one, some of you, who are scared to use liquid liners may be sitting in their desks pouting!  Well, pout no more!  A pencil version is finally here!

My Blow-Up Belly Shoot Photos Are Here!

Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to AMW Readers!!!  

Today, I will be sharing the professional photos I got from my recent Blow-Up Belly Shoot!  If you haven't read my previous post regarding my experience, kindly do so by smiling and clicking HERE.  As you all know, I was darn uncomfortable doing a shoot showing my belly especially when you're at a stage of feeling grumpy, tired, heavy and bloated!  Thankfully, Tabitha, the photographer for the day was super jolly and friendly I totally forgot about qualms and was able to enjoy the shoot feeling like a real Model *winks*.

At the end of the day, these are photos I will definitely look back to with Baby AMW sharing him some lovely stories on my journey as his mommy!

Travel Essentials: the Brag and Pantypak

Velvet Rose --- I consider this a "household name" when it comes to all types of underwear, brassiere, hosiery, lingerie, swimwear, sleepwear to bedroom novelty items.  I've attended a lot of Bridal Shower parties and I always go to this store for sexy yet super tasteful sleepwear for the "honey-mooners".  True enough, my friends got taste too!  I also got a couple of Velvet Rose products as gifts during my own bridal shower party!  
    

AMW Reviews: Beating the Heat and Moisturize with Moisture Surge Face Spray Thirsty Skin Relief




How much hotter can this weather be?  I find myself too lazy to move, even too lazy to apply makeup or do my usual skincare routine! *gasp*

Consider this, I have dry skin, so I can't imagine how our oily-skinned readers out there feel on moisturizer application on these hot and humid days?  Come on, do tell me!

I've always been a fan of the Clinique Moisture Surge line, why?  It's a simple, straightforward product line that does nothing but gives you the moisture you deserve MINUS the heavy feel!  For the past months, I've used up my huge tub of Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief  as it is one of the easiest day time moisturizer to use before my BB Cream application!

Yes, it's summer, it's hot and humid but I still find some dry patches around my left cheeks so I need moisture even midday!  Thankfully, the Clinique Moisture Surge line came out with a face spray that gives moisture without distracting your makeup!
