AMW Reports: Beauty Can't Wait! White Now, Why Later?

Happy Friday AMW friends!  Yesterday, yours truly was quite busy attending events (finally) and it felt new and exciting once again to know what's happening in the beauty world!

I was invited to get to know the newest Close Up White Now endorser, before I tell you who she is, let me tell you about my experience using Close Up White Now --- I have finished tubes after tubes of the said toothpaste and indeed, it does give me a quick fix on whitening my teeth!  I can't say anything about the long term effect as of the moment as I switched back to regular toothpaste when I got pregnant.  Now, with all the events and meetings and makeup gigs I have to attend, I will definitely use this again for me to show up with a brighter and whiter-looking smile.  I do believe it's really the Blue Foam Technology that covers the yellowish stains on my teeth.  Just like how my favorite correctors would do on my face!

The event was held at Manila Peninsula Hotel and was hosted by Ms. Sam Oh.  Man, I love her shoes!

After a quick welcome, Celebrity, model, columnist, host, social advocate and editor at large --- was finally introduced.  It was none other than Bianca Gonzales.  Bianca is definitely one busy woman but she still finds the time to stay beautiful while keeping a polished and put together look, according to her: "Beauty Can't Wait" and I share the same sentiments!

I Wonder: Who's Your Korean Actor Crush?

With my love for Korean cosmetics especially their BB Creams --- Hello Skin 79 VIP GOLD Beblesh Balm, many Korean cosmetics are using Korean actors as their endorsers and I'm sure a lot of you have picked your own favorite/s!  

As for me, I'm not really into Korean actors or actresses, yes, I enjoy watching their drama series but I am not that addicted to them to really research about them!  Ahem..well, I actually did research about Song Hye Kyo (my girl crush) and Yoo Ah from Sungkyunkwan scandal as I'm addicted to his nose!  *laughs*

Wait, there's more!

AMW Reviews: Bobbi Brown Retouching Powder in Yellow

Happy Independence Day to AMW readers here in the Philippines!  Most of you are enjoying your one day holiday so do seize this day and enjoy it as much as you can as the weather is gloomy and depressing so a little bit of happy music and yummy food can revive your spirits!

Today may be Independence day but products definitely do not get a holiday from my discerning eye!  Another product review for you!  A loose, setting powder that promises "correcting properties".  Yes, you've heard about correctors (concealers) but have you  heard of retouching powders that corrects your skin issues?

AMW Reviews: Boppy Bare Naked Pillow From Taste Central

Happy Tuesday everyone!  It's officially rainy season and I hope everyone stays safe and dry okay?

Today, I will be sharing a great find to ALL MOMS out there!  I mean who would've thought a C-shaped pillow could make such a HUGE difference in my life as a newbie mom?  

A couple of weeks before I gave birth, I got a huge package from Taste Central, to be honest, I immediately took notice on snacks and set the huge pillow called Boppy Feeding and Infant Support Pillow a slide.  Fast forward to several weeks after giving birth, I would give up EVERYTHING and hold this pillow tight!

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....
