AMW Reviews: Hurraw Lip Balms

The moment I learned I was pregnant, there were a couple of beauty products I stopped using...body lotions, moisturizers, toners, certain facial washes, etc... But one thing I didn't stop using are lip balms!  When I was contacted by Cutieverse.com to try out Hurraw --- an all natural, vegan, and made from premium raw, organic and fair trade ingredients lip balm, who can say no to that?  Since I have Baby AMW, I've been very particular with the products I use on my body as I stay close to him like he's part of my body for 24 hours, so using beauty products made with all natural ingredients is definitely on top of my priority for now!

After a month long usage, I'm ready to share my experience!

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!
