AMW Reviews: Benefit Cha Cha Go-Go

I have proclaimed my love for Cha Cha tint as my favorite shade out of all the tints from Benefit!  Some of you may go for the famous Benetint, while some will choose the baby pink shade from Posietint.  But the girl writing this post is biased, you know why?  Well, I get compliments EACH time I wear Cha Cha tint so this is my obvious choice! :) 

BUT, because I love my clients more, (some of my bridal clients probably noticed me using this prior to blush application.) it was painful for me to put the full sized Benefit Cha Cha Tint inside my Zuca Traincase and I actually transferred some of the tint inside a small container.  

Can you imagine the happiness that enveloped my body and soul *lol* when I saw this in store during the Benefit Bloggers Hard Hat Party?

How To Creating Fake Crease for Monolids




How to create a fake crease for monolids?
Is there a way to make my eyes look bigger?
How to lessen puffy-looking eyes using eye shadow?

These are some of the many questions I get with regards to "Asian Eyes" or Monolids.  (I'm sorry for using the term Asian eyes as not all Asian Eyes look the same, I just had to use it as the beauty blogging community are used to this term!)

Aside from "faking the crease" by applying dark eye shadow on the outer-V, in the real world of busy bees...who has time to really blend and make sure both eyes match?  Some of you may sacrifice sleep for this but I'm not part of the "tiis ganda" crowd!  *laughs*  

For today's "This Is How I Do It" post, which by the way, are usually tips I share that are meant for busy bums out there!  I try to share tips that are very simple and less time consuming!  


There are 2-3 things you need to create such "effect" ---

AMW Bulletin: Win 5 Minis Gloss in Love from Lancome

I fell in love with Lancome's Rouge in Love collection when I had the chance to try on their mini-versions last year and decided to repurchase a full size for clients!  Don't you just love and hate minis/samples?  They are evil!  You get to try them and fall in love with them and spend more!  *laughs*

Anyway, the return of the evil minis are here!  Lancome came up with the Gloss In Love lip glosses and guess what?  I currently have 5 minis!  Thanks Lancome Philippines for this but again, these tiny bullets are super evil!

Something New: BeautyCornerPH Acrylic Make Up Palette

Fellow Make Up Artists and beauty junkies out there?  Once in our life, we've probably used a CD or CD case in mixing our liquid foundation or any cream based products am I right?  

If not, well, I guess I'm referring to myself!  I went from CD to a clear plastic CD case.  But once I got into professional make up artistry, I told myself I have to look professional as well!  My first ever super professional looking mixing palette is the Monda Oval Steel Mixing Palette which is still very much alive up until this moment.  No complaints!

As for readers out there, I'm sure you're still looking for alternatives, probably non-stainless steel and more handy!  Well guess what?  There are choices out there and this one is from Beauty CornerPH.


Cute Bee NOT included!  *laughs*
