AMW Reviews: Revlon ColorStay Ultimate Suede Lipsticks

One of my favorite drugstore lipstick brands aside from Maybelline is Revlon!  They've come up with various collection of lip colors that are moisturizing enough which for me seems like a "YAY moment" as I've always been on a search for lip products meant for dry and chappy lips!  

Recently, I got 11 gorgeous shades of Ultimate Suede Lipsticks and it took me so much time to review them as I honestly used each of them on various occasions!  One of them I even used for my Pregnancy Shoot (Blow-Up Studio post HERE)

The Revlon ColorStay  Ultimate Suede Lipsticks, as the name states, promises a moisturizing lip color that gives a velvety finish!  These reminded me so much of Revlon Colorbursts Lip Butters (review HERE) because of the promise of smooth finish.

Weekend Food Trip at: Sariwon and Kuppa Roastery and Cafe

Weekend food trip is back!!!
I need to be careful with what I eat as I am definitely NOT eating for 2 anymore but no one can stop me from eating my favorite Korean dish once again!  And yeah..no more stomach pain when I eat spicy food!  I'm back to normal and FOOD? --- You're dead! :P

I've read and heard about Sariwon for quite some time but I wanted to make sure to take Mr. AMW with me when I dine in this restaurant.  It was perfect when Mr. AMW accompanied me for a full day meeting so the best way to keep your man happy?  Fill his stomach with food!

Sariwon was packed when we visited during lunch hour, I wasn't that hungry yet coming out from the first meeting so I let Mr. AMW do the decision making.

Appetizers
Everything tastes yummy!

and more..

Pinks and Reds in a Collection

Happy Saturday!  Look what I got...something PINK and you guys know I love pink just by looking at my product shots background!

The newest collection from Bobbi Brown came out last April and of course, it is only this month I can talk about it because I'm busy surviving life without bath and shower!  Yuck but at least you guys didn't get to sniff me!  (poor husband!)

AskMeMom: Newborn Must-Haves

Good morning and happy Friday!!!
Today, I'm very excited to share my first "legit" post on AskMeMom.  Legit for a month plus to be exact!  *hehehe*  I know it's too early to post about newborn must-haves but I can't wait to write about it especially knowing I have a couple of pregnant readers and I want to make sure first-time moms like me won't get the shock of their lives!  Well, I've been exaggerating about the "shock" but I'm glad there are some things in life that helps Baby AMW go through his journey in this super MEAN world!  *laughs*

Of course, you guys know the basic, the clothing, the bottles, etc.... here's just an added "small list" from the super long list of baby essentials as no one told me about this until Kyle came out!  So I'm telling you to arm yourselves with these products or similar ones!

Mustela Bebe Pack
Thanks to Sample Room for sending these to me on my birthday!  I originally kept these just because they were so cute (in size) but let me tell you why these are turning out to be my essentials and I'm definitely repurchasing for full sized bottles!

Ready for review?

Salon Report: Hair Cut and Aroma Hair Therapy at Azta Urban Salon




Happy Thursday everyone!  Time for Salon Report and I'm so happy to announce that I finally had a tiny "me" time after pregnancy!  To be honest, it was a difficult decision to leave home since I'm very attached with Baby AMW as I've been with him 24/7!  It was a difficult decision but I'm glad I made it to the haircut and hair treatment as my poor hair deserves the TLC!  Motherhood is definitely not a simple task, sometimes, I just want to walk in jacuzzi tub (I wish!) 

A couple of years ago, I had Hair Coloring and Gloss Treatment done at Azta Urban Salon (read post HERE), SM San Lazaro branch and so far, the experience was great so it wasn't a difficult decision to go back to this place!  

The salon was packed with clients when I arrived so I had to wait a couple of minutes for my turn.  The staffs were really helpful and accommodating and I didn't mind the wait as I get to see what services other customers availed!  The girl beside me had a gorgeous OMBRE hair treatment in purplish red and I wish I can do the same on mine but I have to put hair coloring on hold as I'm breastfeeding Baby AMW!  It's nice to know that the salon strongly suggest me to ask my Doctor regarding hair coloring while nursing to keep baby safe!

I opted for Aromatherapy for my super dry and lifeless hair and a simple hair cut as I still prefer to tie my hair in ponytail when I'm with baby Kyle!  

The in thing on hair shampooing?  I used to call this "dry shampooing" back in China.  Dianne applied shampoo on my hair and lather it while seated comfortably on my chair. Then I was asked to proceed to the rinsing area to wash my hair.
