Readers' Corner: Blush Products that Last

Happy Tuesday AMW Friends! 
I was in a mood to check my "Blog Query" folder and scroll way down and finally get to answer the "most asked" query from readers!  As the title goes, it's all about long-lasting blushin' today!  

Who doesn't like their blush to last until makeup removal?  I know I do!  Here are some of the makeup brands that I've tried (and tested) on both myself and clients!  They're mentioned here because they passed!  



Are you ready?

AMW Reviews: Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Edge Meister Brown

Happy Monday friends!  Mascaras, they are God-sent, especially to me, as I have lashes even shorter than Baby Kyle's!  (yes dearies, Baby Kyle surprisingly has longer lashes!  I don't know where he got it from!  lol).  

I recently got Majolica Majorca's Lash Expander Edge Meister in Brown, you can check out my in depth review on the black version by clicking HERE so I'm not going to do the usual Pros/Cons.  

I've always been a fan of black or blackest of all black mascaras!  They give not only length and volume, they give the added "ooomph"!  So this brown-colored mascara is something out of my comfort zone! 

 
 Do you think this gives the effect I want?

Weekend Food Trip at: Pizza Hut Bistro + Safe ID Ladies Wallet

It's Sunday and it's time for a food post once again!  Today, I will be sharing a food so simple yet dear to most of us!  PIZZA!!!  Who doesn't love their pizzas?  I know I do!  I believe the best part about eating a pizza is when you enjoy them with friends!  As for me, it was with my dear foodie partner Mr. AMW! 

We've always been very picky with our pizza, we prefer thin crust over thick crust and we like to request the kitchen to toast them really well until crunchy!  But aside from pizza, there's one dish from Pizza Hut Bistro that made us go back again and again...

This one!


Want to know what's inside?

AMW Reports: The Face of Juicy Cologne

Happy Saturday AMW Friends!
Let's talk about cologne.  To be honest, I'm not really into colognes as I prefer the longevity of Eau de Parfums and Eau de Toilette, colognes make me feel like a "trying hard teenager" but now that I am a mommy, things have changed!  I have opened up my mind to using cologne again (after 10,000 years) as I'm afraid the usual scents I use could be too strong for Baby Kyle!  I'm sure my sister is smiling ear-to-ear now as she's a fan of cologne!  

Recently, Juicy Cologne invited me for a launch to get to know their first ever Brand Ambassador.  I wasn't able to join them but that invite put me back to my "makeup gigs" memory box! Over a year ago, I helped out creating pretty faces at TV5's Star Factor program at the Juicy Cologne Booth!  


Check out my happy face


Okay, the half day makeup gig was crazy!!! There were so many girls lining up to have their faces done and I'm glad I've done this with my best friend!  But anyways, back to the topic on Juicy Cologne, years after, I'm glad they finally came out with an endorser!  And as excited as I sound, NO it's not me, aside from not having the "artista" look, I'm waaayyy over aged!!!  *laughs*

Something New: Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters

Happy first day of August!  Would you believe half year is over and it's ALMOST Christmas season once again?  *lol*  Okay, Christmas talk is a bit too much but August is a month dear to my heart, it's not my birth month, not my anniversary month but it was August of last year when I learned I'm officially pregnant!  Look where I am now!  All psyched up with the cutest baby in the world!  (Okay, forgive me as I'm the mom, who else would think their babies are the cutest --- mommies of course! lol)

Since we're on the topic of "looking back", let's look back to Revlon's Colorburst Lip Butters!  I have reviewed them last year (click AMW Reviews: Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters).  If you've read and seen my past post, I have actually "hit the pan" on the shade Pink Truffle!  

Today, there are 4 new shades of Lip Butters that's part of my "personal lipstick collection". 



If you think the shades are gorgeous just by looking at the packaging, wait until you see them "baring it all" :P
