AMW Reviews: 100% Pure Healthy Flawless Skin Foundation Powder

It is the start of the week once again and God knows how we all want this day to be Friday again!  Oh well, let's jump start the week with something positive instead, think happy thoughts, think about the things that inspires you --- your crush? Boyfriend? Husband? Kids? Or the wonderful lunch you're having later on?  Whoever/whatever it is..focus on that!  Then to me :P

I recently got to try "clean cosmetics" for the first time.  Clean cosmetics, that"s a new term right?  Well this is a term used to call those cosmetics that are clean of known, toxic substances.  The skincare and makeup products are healtheir and gentler than their chemical-laden, synthetic counterparts.  The ingredients are usually simple - maximum natural ingredients, and if unavoidable, minimum synthetic and safe ingredients.  And one of the brand that fits the bill is 100% Pure and thanks to the local retailer Canary Cosmetics for bringing these in.


For my first 100% Pure product, I've decided to give their Foundation Powder as I use this the most (lip balms aside).  Now that I have baby AMW with me almost 24/7!  Carrying him most of the time means I have him in close contact with me more often, that"s why I prefer to use minimal makeup or if I must, I try to use makeup that are safe for babies!  Perfect timing to know this brand right?

Weekend Food Trip at: Namnam Comfort Filipino Restaurant

Happy Sunday!
When I have friends coming over, I always try to look for a Filipino restaurant that can offer unique Filipino dishes!  There's always the classic Filipino food but at times, I want to try something different!  And guess what?  There's a restaurant who offers Classic Filipino Dishes as well as Filipino Dishes cooked with a twist!

AMW Bulletin: New Products to Watch Out For!

Happy Saturday AMW friends!  It's a lovely weekend for me as I am definitely catching some zzz's after a full week of sleepless day and night!  Since my life circles around Baby Kyle (feeding him, playing with him, putting him to sleep, etc..) I'm glad to have something non-baby related stuff in front of me as a reminder to get back to my pre-pregnancy self!  I mean, as a mom, it is definitely easy to just settle down to a certain comfort level a.k.a. No makeup, no skincare, no dressing up!  :P  Come on, I'm sure a lot of you mommies out there can relate!

Recently, I've come to know more Splash Corporation skincare products!  The line is SkinWhite and I am out of date!  Like I said over my previous post, I've worked for several summers one of Spalsh Corporation's distributing company and the skincare product I know is Extraderm 1,2,3,4 and I swear to God those products work!  Everyone working in the company have beautifully fair, smooth skin!  So I definitely have high hopes on the SkinWhite Advanced line.

Tip for the Day: Hair Products You Can Buy at Watsons

Good morning AMW friends!  Today, I will share to you a topic super close to my heart!  It's all about HAIR!  Everyone says the hair is an extension of your identity, that statement may seem outrageous to some but I totally agree, my hair/hairstyle is one huge topic until this very day, you'll understand why later on!  

The reason why I want to talk about hair is because I recently got a huge loot from dear Watsons as they launch the Hair Affair campaign. It's a loot that brought me back to memory lane!

Please read more, you won't regret it as you'll have a good laugh!  I may even change my mind and put down the photo :P  *winks*

How to Wear Red Lip Liner




Happy Wednesday dear friends!  Today, I will be sharing another This Is How I Do It post!  This time, it's a step-by-step photo post on how-tos as requested by readers!  As a makeup artist, I have been asked so many times by clients and friends if lip liners are really useful.  My answer is a huge YES!  And they're next question is: "How to use a lip liner?"  "I can never apply lip liner as it makes my lips dry!".



My post will be a simple guide on how I use lip liner and just so you know, my lips are SUPER dry and I'll be using my favorite red lip liner as well!  Mind you...it's red!
