Readers' Corner: What to Pack (Make Up Artist Edition)

Happy Thursday AMW friends! Are you in a good mood today?  I hope so as I don't like people frowning as they read my blog!  People beside you might have this crazy idea that reading AskMeWhats gives you stress!  Well, I can, if you like me too!  *evil laugh* :P

To future makeup artists and to my lovely readers interested for makeup artistry who requested me to share what I pack for makeup gigs, Halleluiah!!! I finally got the time to finally answer this most requested "Readers' Corner" topic.

As much as I wanted this post to be as organize as I'd like it to be, I apologize if it isn't as my life has been upside down (in a very good way) since Baby AMW came along!  So bear with me :)

The Basic Needs

MAC Fix+ - I love setting my clients' make up with MAC Fix+, it does not only "set" the makeup but it refreshed the client after 30minutes to an hour of prettifying session.

Bench Pure Mist Facial Water - the inexpensive version of Evian, I like using this to spritz and refresh the client prior to makeup application.

Parian Spirit Brush Cleaner - I use this to clean brushes in between clients.  Quick drying and smells wonderful!

Kleenex - I carry loads of these!  This also helps when the bride gets sentimental and starts to cry.

There's more!

AMW Reviews: Maybelline Hyper Glossy Runway Pop Liquid Liners

It's mid-week everyone!  I don't know about you but my energy is quite low considering it's just Wednesday! You can't blame me though, it's exactly 2 months of sleepless nights and lots of breastfeeding!  Again, don't get me wrong, I enjoy every special moment spent with Baby AMW and I just want to say --- staring and looking at a baby for hours is possible!

Single readers out there, I am so sorry for gushing so much about Baby AMW!  I can't help it! 

Anyways, back to makeup!  I haven't been playing with colorful makeup nowadays as I try to wear as minimal makeup as possible as I don't want to rub my made-up face to baby's sensitive skin!  So imagine, nothing much on face and lips so that leaves me like a zombie!  Thankfully, I pulled out my colorful liquid liners from Maybelline, this was released around April (I think) perfect for summer!  I have used all 3 shades (not all together) and I'll share to you  my favorite after the review!

AMW Reviews: Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream

A year ago, when I was discussing BB creams with my friends, I remembered mentioning to them that a CC cream is coming up and the first brand (that I know) who made it was from Chanel!  I even joked about the possible apperaance of Double D creams (referring to bra's cup size).  Now that CC creams are out and available in the market, I guess it's not a joking matter anymore!  CC creams are also called Complexion-Correcting Creams!  What's the difference between a BB and CC cream?  I guess CC creams have "correcting" properties like that of correcting concealers.

As I was browsing through my favorite Glamour Magazine, I chanced upon a Clinique ad for their CC cream and I "instagrammed" it immediately as judging by the name, this CC cream is meant for me!  You know how much I love the Moisture Surge line so an additional Moisture Surge product is a huge Christmas Gift for my dehydrated skin!

AMW Reviews: Majolica Majorca Shiny Ray Liner Limited

Good morning!  I hope you have a great start of the week!  The weather was crazy over the weekend, it has been raining nonstop and I can't help but feel gloomy!  Since it's Father's Day yesterday, we've decided to go out still and nothing can perk up my mood than a good "brightening" product!  A long time reader would know how much I am into brightening products and I guess, that's my secret on looking "human"! :P

Majolica Majorca recently released their 2013 Summer Collection (Moonlight Virgin).  Part of their collection is a uniquely packaged Shiny Ray Liner!  There is a reason why Majolica Majorca has always been a head turner for me, just look at the unique packaging!

Weekend Food Trip at: Luck Garden Seafood and Tea House

Keith's cousin arrived for a vacation, as usual, the way to celebrate is to dine out and stuff our faces with food! :P 

I've seen this restaurant packed most of the time when we go for drive through at Burger King. So I'm looking forward to see what the fuzz is about!
