Eureka Moment: Almost Nude

Monday is here again!  Are you dreading this day?  As for me, I will probably feel that when I get back to work next week!  As for now, I'm enjoying quiet times with my dear baby at the same time, trying to regain energy to get back to work as my brain haven't been functioning properly for the past weeks!  Imagine dreaming about the need to feed baby and standing up randomly late at night wondering if baby is really crying or was it just my imagination?  *laughs*  Mothers out there, I'm sure you can totally relate!

Anyways, since it's a Monday, I want to keep this post light and straight to the point.  Remember how I NEVER get to wear nude or brown colored lipsticks as they ALWAYS look weird on me?  If I want to sport a nude lip color, I have to wear strong eye makeup which of course, I cannot, for now, because I want to rub my face against baby Kyle and I don't want makeup transferring on his cute face! 

When I received 3 lipsticks from the L'Oreal Color Riche line, I almost didn't gave them the time of day as I used to own several shades of them!  (Thanks to my Aunt from Canada for gifting me those.) 

Thankfully, the press samples came in red, pink and brown!  I (almost immediately) judged the brownish shade and put it on my "least favorite among the three" list.  Recently I need to go out for a short dinner and I had to wear something toned down as it was just a quiet get-together with my family and they are quite conservative in terms of lip color so I picked the brown colored shade called "Fuzzy Taupe".  

It was a EUREKA MOMENT for me....

Weekend Food Trip at: The Fifth Taste

Happy weekend food trip dear AMW friends!  Today, I will be sharing a new place to "hang out" and chill after a long week!  If you roam around Wilson Street San Juan, you've probably seen Tama Yaki as the place is just adorable! Who can miss out such cute character?

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!
