AMW Reviews: Cure Natural Aqua Gel

Happy Saturday everyone!  It is weekend and I'm not sure if I have a restful weekend as I get more busy as days go by!  I'm definitely not complaining, busy is good!

2 years ago, Mr. AMW and I were on a hunt for a good exfoliator for his acne-prone skin.  One brand that got the most positive reviews online called Cure.  I immediately went ahead and purchased one from a local reseller and we never looked back!  

Upon visiting Tokyo, Japan, we purchased 3 bottles for backup as not only Mr. AMW gets to enjoy this, I find this the most gentle exfoliator I've tried (keep in mind I have extremely dry skin).

Today's review, there's Mr. AMW and I who will give feedback on this product.  Mr. AMW has oily skin while I suffer from combination (normal/dry) skin.

Interested?

I Wonder: Products That Didn't Make It to AMW Approval!

Happy start of weekend everyone!  

I am looking forward for the weekend as I'll be meeting up with high school friends for mini reunion!  Meeting and catching up with friends has always been a nice "life booster" for me so given the chance, I always make sure to make time for bonding!  And of course, Baby AMW will get the chance to meet mommy's friends! 

Today's topic is a bit unique, instead of the usual product review or the usual Monthly Favorites, I've decided to write about 2 products that didn't make it to the cut!  I tried both products and have given them enough time and chances but I guess at the end of the day, they just didn't make it to the cut!

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

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."
