I'm Excited for Bobbi Brown's Here Comes The Bride

As you all know, I am a professional makeup artist and I love saying that over and over again! (Pagbigyan niyo na ako!)  One of my pride as a makeup artist is the way I do makeup for brides (in fairness, that rhymes!) 

I believe all soon-to-be-brides have a certain glow no makeup can create!  But of course, after years of doing bridal makeup, I've come to realize that the right makeup and tools can aid in enhancing the natural beauty plus the natural "glow".

I Wonder: Organic Soaps?

Happy Thursday dear readers!  Thank you for always checking www.askmewhats.com!  I know some of you have been long time readers and I just want to extend my gratitude by sending you all *group cyber hug*!!!  Thank you for the lovely emails, comments and kind words!  It meant the world to me!

Upon reading this post, most of you are probably at work, getting ready for work or is off to bed, whatever you are doing at the moment, I'm sure in some way or another, you've already taken a shower.  I have a feeling some of you are starting to raise your arms and start sniffing your armpit! :P  Come on, admit it!  If not...well, I guess I'm the only one doing it? :P

Since we're on the topic of shower, let's talk about the soaps we use!  To be honest, I've always been into commercialized soaps!  I've always read positive reviews and good benefits on using organic or soaps made with natural ingredients but I don't know why it doesn't hit the spot on me!  I guess it's the fact that most organic soaps do not lather up as much?  Or they finish up so fast?  So yes, those are some small things that made me steer clear from purchasing them amidst the benefits of using one!  

Thanks to Sample Room, I was able to give these organic/natural soaps a try and I think I'm starting to be converted!  Here are some of the organic soaps I get to try and will try!  I'm sure some of the brands are familiar to Organic soap Lovers out there! :D

ZA Perfect Fit Two-Way Foundation (Powder) Review




Though I have loads of liquid and cream foundations at the moment, nothing can beat my love for powder foundation!  I've been a powder foundation user for years and I can't keep track how many compacts I've thrown away!  

The last and most recent compact that I hit the pan was from Majolica Majorca called Skin Remaker Pore Cover Powder Foundation in BO10, I love it so much I kept the case as I'm definitely game to purchase another refill!  

And just when I thought I need to pull out my Majolica Majorca refill, I put that step on hold as I recently got ZA Perfect Fit Two-Way Foundation also in BO10!  Sorry MJ, I've heard so many great reviews about ZA I had to pull this out and use it ASAP!

AMW Reviews: Mary Kay Makeup Finishing Spray by Skindinavia






Happy Tuesday dearies!  How are you doing today?  I hope you're sipping a warm cup of coffee while munching on your favorite breakfast as you visit my page! If not..well, I am!  It's not breakfast but I'm definitely back on sipping my favorite brewed coffee (in decaf though) as I munch on my favorite Kinder Bueno Chocolate!  Fattening?  Who cares?  I'm nursing!*winks*

Let's get back to business, I have something exciting to share!  As a makeup artist, I'm always  updating myself not only with makeup artistry but makeup products!  I make sure to be updated with whatever products that may help make clients appear more flawless than ever!  

When I ordered by Zuca Case online, I plan to purchase several Skindinavia products as well as I've read positive reviews online from bloggers!

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
