AMW Reviews: Celeteque Brightening Multi-Benefit BB Cream with SPF15

Happy Thursday everyone!  I am happy to share another BB Cream find!  I haven't been trying out much BB creams in the market since I found my favorites --- Skin 79 VIP Gold BB Cream and

Fairy Drops Candy Bar BB Cream.

Both are great and I am very contented with the mentioned BB Creams, but given the chance to find a good BB Cream that delivers minus the price tag...why not coconut? :D

Recently, I got to try Celeteque Dermoscience Multi-Benefit BB Cream with SPF15.  It promises light coverage, moisturizing and pore tightening properties with SPF15.  That's good enough for me for daily use!

AMW Reviews: Maybelline Blush Studio Blush 'Em!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Today, I am finally sharing a review on the most recent blush I got!  It's really tiny and I believe it's the tiniest full size powder blush I own to date!  

When Maybelline came out with their Clear Smooth Minerals Blush, I am quite amazed with the good quality of the said blush and so far, I still haven't hit the pan and I haven't been looking at their other blushes ever since as I'm quite happy with what I have.

Now, they came up with something new, Blush Studio Blush 'Em!  It's housed in a super tiny square packaging that can be mistaken as an eyeshadow, we'll see how good this new blush is!

Looking at the photo, I can't help but sing "Lean On Me" *laughs* 

AMW Reviews: Make Up Factory Automatic Eyeliner

Ahh, Tuesday Choose Day!  A day that I choose to be happy and contented!  I know it is very difficult to stay cheerful at all times (trust me, for someone who only have an hour or 2 hours of sleep a day for 5-6 weeks) I still choose to be happy as there's no other way!  I always chant "Don't Quit" inside my head..it goes like this...

"....When things go wrong as they sometimes will...

Rest if you must but don't you quit!"

Try searching at Google for the whole poem of "Don't Quit" and print it out!  It is a nice reminder to keep your chin up and face the world! 

 Okay, let's get back to the real world of Pros and Cons!  *lol*  That's the review portion!  As shocking as it sounds, Make Up For Ever is not around anymore and the makeup brand that got the place of old MUFE at Bonifacio High Street is called Make Up Factory, a lot of our dear AMW readers emailed me and asked me to check out their products and see if they could at least replace or be at par with Make Up For Ever's quality.  I felt bad as I missed the grand launch last month but at least, I was given one of their star product a try and we'll start from here.

Just in case you don't know much about the brand ---
"Make Up Factory is a German cosmetics brand that produces high quality cosmetics for makeup artists and women who want to use professional-level makeup products."

BTS: Ladies of Benefit Lane Photoshoot

Happy Monday dear readers! :)

Today, I will be sharing a BTS (Behind The Scenes) of a project I've been excited about!  The Ladies of Benefit Lane Photoshoot!  As you all know, I've been doing quite a number of projects with the brand (Staff workshop and Benefit Fine One One Workshops at Greenbelt, Glorietta and Shangri-La Mall) and I've always enjoyed each and every project with them.  That's why when I was contacted by Benefit Philippines' Marketing Manager Aubrey to do a photoshoot for the 2nd Ladies of Benefit Lane, I immediately said YES and thankfully, the schedule was perfect!  It was a month after I gave birth!

Though I've reviewed a lot of Benefit cosmetics, I still prefer to arm myself with more knowledge about the products, I borrowed a whole traincase of Benefit goodies and studied and played with each of them!  As you know, being a makeup artist, I like to spread my wings and not enclose myself in using only products that I am comfortable with!  In the shoot, I am allowed to use ONLY Benefit products and thankfully, they have complete range of products even for makeup professionals like myself. 

On that day, I happily piled Benefit products in front of me before the models arrive.  Doesn't that look AMAZING? Looking at makeup and colors make me feel so good! Hooray if you feel the same!

Weekend Food Trip at: Movie Stars Cafe

Rewind to a couple of months ago!  I totally forgot about my first Movie Stars Cafe visit!  It was after my sister-in-law's graduation and we went out to celebrate!  She picked the restaurant Movie Stars Cafe just because it is a newly opened restaurant around Macapagal area and we heard the restaurant looks great on the interior plus the servers are superheroes!

The place was packed even on a weeknight, upon entering the restaurant, the ambiance didn't fail!  So many flat screen TV and characters and posters. 



We went for dinner buffet for a price of Php699.00 (approx $17.47) per head.  Was it worth the price?
