This is How I Do It: My College Kinda Look

Happy Monday AMW friends!  How's your weekend? 

Today, I will be doing a very simple, quick look inspired by our dear college readers!  I have once received an email from a college student requesting me to create a makeup look for college students.

To be honest, I'd like to put up a photo of me without any makeup at all but face powder and lip balm as those are the only 2 products I used when I was in college.  But of course, life today is different, college students know how to prettify themselves (unlike me! *lol).  As you all know, I'm pro-natural beauty or to make it longer...I'm PRO "Let your Natural Beauty Shines Through!".

Please include face sunblock in your daily routine!  My skin darkened at least 2-3 shades when I was in college as we need to walk around the campus under harsh rays of the sun and you know how it is to be "cool" not to use an umbrella!  *laughs*  

 One Face Sunblock you can try that's not too pricey yet works for sensitive face ---- 

Beach Hut Face Ultra-Sensitive Hypoallergenic Sunblock in SPF 65

Mama Chow's Lactation Goodies + Surprise from Ford Philippines

Happy Sunday dear friends!  Today, I will be sharing a wonderful yummy find for moms who are nursing!  When I posted a photo of my expressed breast milk, Jayvee (another blogger) commented on trying out lactation cookies.  I nearly laughed as I thought he was just inventing it!  But of course, he wasn't joking at all as there is such thing called Lactation brownies, cheese cupcakes and cookies!

I agree with them!  Tastes fresh from the oven eventhough it was delivered via local courier.

Something New: K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner --- POWER UP!

December of 2011, I blogged about K-Palette's 24H Real Lasting Eyeliner Waterproof HERE (wow, I didn't realize it has been more than a year ago!) and I still swear by this liquid liner until this day!  (Read my Readers' Corner post on Must Try Liquid Liners).

This liner is approved by yours truly that I even highly recommend these to clients! Recently, I saw their newest ad, K-Palette 24 Hours Real Lasting Eyeliners with addition of 3 beauty essences aside from the usual long lasting, instant drying and super fine brush that won my heart!

I'm glad to try these 2 out (one in black and one in brown)!  To be honest, I don't need to ask for anything more for the old 1 Day Tattoo liner but 3 additional beauty essences is definitely a huge plus!  Want to know more?

AMW Reviews: L'Oreal Color Riche Intense Color Nourishing Care Lip Colors

Happy Friday AMW friends!  Who's excited for the weekend?  What are your plans?

I seriously have no plans at all as my schedule really depends on Baby AMW's mood!  *laughs*  All I know for sure is that I'll be taking Baby Kyle to visit my mom and dad as he's growing up so fast I want my parents to keep track on his different stages! 

Anyways, I will be sharing a review today on my favorite drugstore lipstick for the moment!  I can't believe I have these way back gifted to me by my Aunt from Canada but I ended up using them on clients and never tried them myself!  Now that was given the chance to try these again, all I can say is WOW!  Please scroll further down for more details about this wonderful lip product!

L'Oreal Color Riche Intense Color Moisturizing Care Lip Color are housed in a gorgeous gold box with Japanese characters.

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!
