AMW Reviews: K-Palette 1Day Lash Perm Volume Curl Mascara

Yay for more mascaras coming from K-Palette!  I reviewed the 1Day Lash Perm Long Curl Mascara early this year, I love how the product promises "length" and it does give me the length I long for!  But, for super short sparse lashes like mine, I prefer mascaras with volume and would you believe, just a couple of months after... Volume Curl mascara came along and I can't wait but give it a try immediately!

Weekend Must Try: Cobo "Awesome PossibiliTeas!"

I am very particular with milk teas!  Trust me, I've had enough of milk teas from various brands and seldom do I get impressed by them!  Why?  I want my milk tea to be consistently good, not too sweet, not too bitter, right amount of coldness and the tapioca pearls (if there's any) should have the right Q-ness (that's how they say it in Taiwan!) 

After trying out Coco Milk Tea in Shanghai, I never looked back and never thought I'd be impressed by any milk tea brands here in Manila!  But thankfully, I'm wrong!

What differs Cobo from other milk tea brands is the unique tasty toppings they call Chewdles, Bursting Bubbles and Cocochews!  They also offer fruit juices and teas for those who want to give their taste buds a rest from regular milk teas!

Clockwise: Mango Peach, Oolong Wintermelon, 
Orange Grapefruit Fruiteas and Strawberry Smoothies

AMW Bulletin: ZA Cosmetics, welcome back!

Back when I was teaching in Shenzhen, China.  I enjoyed taking a short ferry ride for 30 minutes and crossover to a happy, shopping heaven --- Hong Kong!  Yes, I do that for half a day and return back to China with loads of makeup goodies!  

Ahhh, that's when my love for hauling cosmetics started!  Who to blame?  Boredom!  Ahem..and of course, my true love for beauty products has always been with me, it just needed to be unleashed like Pandora's box!  

One of the many brands that I've hoarded is from ZA Cosmetics, I got attracted to the brand because of the commercial and let me tell you, their powder foundation is worth checking out and I felt bad I didn't try much of their products when I got back!  

Thankfully, after 5+ years of blogging, I am glad to announce that a promising brand is back and is readily available in the Philippines!  YAY!

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!
