AMW Bulletin: Clinique Bonus Time September 2013


Dear AMW Friends!
Would you believe September is within reach and we're on "-BER" months already?  It only felt like last a couple of days ago when I learned I was pregnant and suffered morning sickness like no other!  *sigh*  I'm getting sentimental here.


And speaking about my pregnancy and morning sickness, one of the few brands that I trust is from Clinique as the brand is tested safe for my sensitive skin!  Today, I will be sharing our favorite CLINIQUE BONUS TIME!  Come on, you have to admit, you are as excited as I am to know what color and design of the pouch they will be housing those cute samples!

AMW Reviews: LA Splash Enlightened Creamy Shadow Base in Highlight

Hi AMW friends!  Today, I will be reviewing a creamy shadow base from LA Splash Cosmetics.  I've known this brand from my "stalking-CherryCulture.com" days.  I haven't really tried any products from the brand so I'm excited to give this a try upon receiving my January Glamourbox.  



 Shade: Highlight


LA Splash says ---
Use alone or pair this cream shadow base with a pressed shadow to facilitate blending and enhance shadow color and wearability.

Enlightened Cream Base can be worn alone but is recommended to be used with all the pressed shadows.  It comes in 3 nude highlighting shades, one smoky charcoal base, which is essential to create the perfect smoky eye, and the glitter base which can be used alone or under any eyeshadow to add some extra glitz.

Eureka Moment: Spend vs Save (Hair Oil Edition)

Dear AMW Friends!
Eureka Moment once again and this time, I'm sharing an inexpensive find!  Once in awhile I will be posting more Eureka Moments on splurge vs. save!  I mean, at times, it feels nice to splurge just to reward ourselves but if you look hard enough, and with some luck on hand, we may find an inexpensive alternative that works just as fine as the pricey sister!

Are you ready?


Some of you may have guessed the brand base from the bottle but just in case you can't seem to put your finger to it, why don't you just read more and see what's cooking....oil?  *lol*

AMW Reviews: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion +

Happy Monday AMW friends and happy holiday to Philippine based readers! 
Today, I'm finally ready to share my thoughts on the newest Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ (DDML+)!  I've finished 3 huge bottles of the original Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion so I guess I can call myself an "expert" in my own little ways on the difference on the old and new one!  


The new DDML+ is housed in an exact packaging as the old version.  (read past review here and my Cliinque DDML revisit here)  I've been impressed with the old DDML that's why it puts a huge "whyyyyyyy" on my lips when I learned they reformulated it!  Why would they do that?  I'm already a strong believer of the old formulation and I'm quite loyal when it comes to something effective!  I mean, the Clinique DDML has been one of the few moisturizers that healed my super dry, itchy skin!  

Clinique says ---
Step 3 in Clinique's 3-step skin care system.  The moisture "drink" developed by Clinique's dermatologist to maintain optimal moisture balance for very dry skins, or skins dry in the cheeks, comfortable to oily in the T-zone.  Softens, smooths, improves.

The big plus: with a new complex, this formula strengthens skin's own moisture barrier by 54%.  More moisture stays in.  Skin feels soft, springy.  Has a glow.

Size: 125ml with pump

Weekend Food Trip at: Ebun

Happy Sunday everyone!
Today, I will be sharing a Filipino restaurant I recently tried when my brother arrived for a short visit!  Ebun Restaurant located at SM Mall of Asia.  


Based on research, Ebun restaurant is a traditional restaurant that gives a hint of Spanish touch.  Ebun means "egg" (not bird as I originally thought LOL).
