AMW Makeovers: Bea and Claire

Happy Friday!
I am so excited to share another AMW Makeover post, I  haven't done a makeover posts for quite some time but now, I'm back with a vengeance!  I am very thankful that I still get clients even if I was "on leave" for several months after giving birth!  

I got a text message from my dear friend who's currently the Brand Manager of Silka, she asked me to do her makeup on the company's anniversary party!  Who am I to say no?  She has been very supportive of my makeup artistry and I can clearly remember the times I practice my makeup skills on her!  

It has been several years after so I'm really excited to prettify her again!

Bea has always been on a "safe side" in terms of eye shadow shades, it has always been golds and browns so that day, I suggested she gets out of her shell and try on something different, something she doesn't sport much and it's definitely a smokey eye makeup! 


Thankfully, Bea felt the same about the change and gamely asked me to do whatever I think would work for her!  It was a night event so a smoky eye makeup is perfect!

AMW Reviews: BCL 24H Browlash Ex Water Strong W Eyebrow (Natural Brown)

I can never get enough of brow products! 
Anyone feels the same?

Recently, my brother had a quick stopover at Hong Kong prior to coming back to Manila, he messaged me asking me what I need from Sasa (yes, my dear brother shops at Sasa for his darling little sister!)  and you guessed it right --- brow products!

So when I received a nice package from Smile of Updated Trends, I can't help but squeal as she probably read my mind!  I love collecting brow products, from pencils, brow liners to brow gels!  Companies make them?  I want them all! 

So the BCL B&C Browlash Ex Water Strong W Eyebrow is definitely a new brand for me!  The day I received this, I immediately gave this a test even when I was just staying at home!  That's what product reviewers do!  Stay pretty even inside the house *winks* :P

AMW Reviews: Hayan BB Cream Perfect Skin Cover

One of the most requested makeup product to be reviewed is BB Cream!  I can't blame you!  I can still recall the time I went BB-crazed!  I was online at Ebay almost all day searching for various BB creams to try!  I started with Major Korean Brands like Etude House, Tony Moly, Skin79, Lioele, The Face Shop, Skin Food, etc...

Then I went ahead trying out western version of BB creams from Estee Lauder, Clinique, Bobbi Brown, etc..

Then there's the Japanese brand called FairyDrops (which I LOVE by the way!)  

Then there's inexpensive brands like Avon, Maybelline...you'll think I'm over with BB creams by now?  NA-AH! 

Recently, Hayan Korea kept in touch with various bloggers to try out their products (that explains why you see a lot of Hayan reviews online), and I'm one of the lucky bloggers who get to try and test their products!  (it wasn't an easy job I tell you especially if we're talking about BB creams!)  So after using this product on and off for a couple of months, I'm finally ready to share my thoughts on this BB cream!

 P.S. "For Crystal Clear Skin" written on box excites me!  I hope it gave the same effect to you!  (Goosebumps and all!) *winks*

AMW Reviews: The Body Shop Lipstick Colour Crush in Coral Kiss

 The Body Shop is a to-go-to brand when it comes to skincare and cosmetics, we all know that by now!  But sometimes, we get swayed by other brands who can offer not only quality products but they are also housed in very cute packaging!  Who can say no to that?

Thankfully, The Body Shop came up with their new lipstick line called Colour Crush, and they may not be housed in cutesy-patootsie packaging, but, they definitely leveled up as I find these more classy to look at!

Check out The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipsticks!


Definitely not boring at all and the cap is the same shade as the lipstick itself!

AMW Reports: Too Cool For School, SM MOA

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
Do you want to go "cyber shop" with me?  I've learned about Too Cool for School (the brand) years ago when I visited Seoul, Korea.  Through my sister-in-law, I learned we already have a branch locally and I'm so lucky their first branch is nearer to where I live, SM Mall of Asia.

Since I was at SM Mall of Asia weeks ago for my Brow Wax session at Benefit Boutique, I've decided to visit Too Cool for School to check out what's new and what's exciting with the brand! 


I will share to you the star products that caught my attention.  To be honest, the store is a bit overwhelming as there are so many products to choose from.  Not to mention, the products are packaged in very cute and unique packaging!  Any girl who is into makeup can easily go crazy inside the store!
