Something New: Nippon Makeup Remover Lotion

Hi everyone!  Today is a very special day for both Mr. AMW and I as its Baby AMW's first month!  I can't believe how fast he grew and I can't help but look at ultrasound photos and reminisce on the exact moment I gave birth!  

Pregnancy "dramatic" hormones aside, I want to share something new that I got before I gave birth by a dear friend Sydney of Studio SnR!  I have always been a liquid makeup remover user and one cream/lotion based makeup remover that I used and love is from Kiehl's called Kiehl's Supremely Gentle Eye Makeup Remover (review HERE) which lives up to its name, it is indeed very gentle even on the eye area and it works on removing even the hardest to remove waterproof makeup! 

Nippon Esthetic Solutions created a makeup remover lotion which I find quite similar to the Kiehl's one and I actually used it not a lot of times and since I haven't been using makeup since I gave birth for a month, I put this review on hold and will continue to use before I give my full feedback on this!  But so far, I'm quite excited as the product is indeed promising!

Moms Know Best

Hi! Do you still remember my post on AskMeMom: Mom-To-Be Knows Best?  Time flew by so quickly I'm finally a mom and I had my first Mother's Day Celebration last weekend!  

Today, I want to share the Alagang Wilkins Moms Know Best TVC.  Watch the touching story on how moms would do ANYTHING to ensure the safety of her child.  I know I've seen my mom sacrificed so much for us and I obviously do the same for my little one!  

AMW Reviews: Moringa-O2 Malunggay Herbal Soap

Happy Wednesday everyone!  How's mid-week treating you?  I'm doing quite well and I'm getting the hang of being a full-time mom (for now as I'm enjoying my maternity leave).  

Now that I can finally take a shower, I'm glad to get back to my Moringa-O2 Malunggay Olive Oil Omega Herbal Soap in which I started using weeks before I gave birth!  So far, the Moringa-O2 Herbal Moisturizing Lotion was a hit (review here) so I happily gave the herbal soap version a try!  Since I'm breastfeeding, it doesn't hurt that I'm drinking loads of malunggay soup, taking my malunggay supplements and why not continue using malunggay related products for hygiene?  That's what we call....complementing!  *laughs*

Eureka Moment: 100% Natural Deodorant

I'm one lucky girl as I don't sweat much!  Meaning, I can run a mile and still look HOT (not!)  Kidding aside, I really don't sweat much so I can skip using deodorants or anti-perspirant and probably use them only if I know I'll be staying outdoor for long or I'll be doing some strenuous activities!  That's the reason why my underarm doesn't turn dark (knocks on wood).  Yes, some or shall I say, most deodorants can make our dear underarms turn dark and ugly!  Why?  Well, these roll-ons, sticks and sprays may contain parabens, PEGs, synthetic ingredients or aluminum compounds that could cause darkening or irritations.  So best way to keep your underarm in its' most natural, gorgeous form?  Use 100% natural deodorants but seriously speaking, it is very difficult to find one!  But of course, we can always go to our trustee "tawas" (a natural white crystalline mineral salt of potassium) which I think is great but I find it tedious to apply (cause I'm one lazy woman of the 21st century!)

Recently, I've discovered a locally made deodorant from Human Nature's 100% Natural Premium Deodorant in Powder Fresh.

Shiseido Maquillage Essence Glamorous Rouge Review

Today is voting day for Philippine readers!  Take care of your votes!

Since it's a very serious topic about voting, let's talk seriously about lips!  My extremely dry lips are drier after labor and all the breast feeding!  *laughs*  I'm not sure if it's related but I just like to look for an excuse and not blame my genes! :P

For girls who suffer from dry to super dry lips, finding the right lipstick that's moisturizing enough is challenging so lip glosses are definitely the answer to our problems!  But here's the thing, aside from dry lips, I am "blessed" with full lips, I dislike using lip glosses as they tend to enhance the thickness of my lips and if applied too much, I look like a girl who got punched on the lip!  And the extra tacky feel of some lip glosses give me the uneasiness you and I do not deserve especially in this humid climate!

Recently, I've given Shiseido Maquillage Essence Glamorous Rouge a test and I'm so happy to share my experience with this!  I know a lot of Shiseido lovers out there and I'm sorry I was a bit too late trying out their products!

Better late than never!
