Initial Thoughts: Mary Kay At Play Baked Eye Trio and Jelly Lip Glosses

When I think about Mary Kay as a brand, what comes to mind is SERIOUS SKINCARE and MAKEUP Brand.  But everything changed when I got their most recent makeup collection called "MaryKayatPlay".  The packaging itself screams "play with me!"  Who would've thought neon green and pink would go well together?

Mary Kay at Play color is all about FUN and all about YOU.  This is a subtle way for Mary Kay to tell you to say "bye bye" to your usual look and have fun playing mix-and-match!  Yes, we do not leave mixing and matching only to Professional make up artists, you can do them at home!

Mary Kay at Play Baked Eye Trio

Baked Eye Trio contains three matching shades, coordinated shades that you can be bold in trying out as a wash of color on lids, contour the eye crease or can be used to apply the lower lash line for an instant pop!  These baked shadows remind me so much of MAC Mineralized  Eye Shadow Trios!

AMW Reviews: Hayan Glitter Lip Gloss

Happy Monday AMW Friends!  Today is a Philippine Holiday for an election so please vote wisely! :) 

As for me, I will be sharing a review of another red lip product.  You may have this impression that I am so into red lipsticks or lip glosses but truthfully I am one of those "I'm really scared to wear red as people may judge me" girl!  It was only when I started blogging when I started to embrace red lips!  Not just any RED lips I tell you, I am very picky with the right shade of red that works for my skin and personality!

I got the Hayan Glitter Lip Gloss for quite some time and after several uses, I'm ready to share my thoughts on this Korean brand that have been making a noise in the cyber world!

Shade: T301 but I would like to call this Glitter Red Lip Gloss

Very Special 6th Year Wedding Anniversary!

Today is our 6th year Wedding Anniversary!  On November 3, 2013, it'll be our 17th year together!  I have spent half of my life with Mr. AMW --- my best friend, my boyfriend and my husband!  All through these years, I found myself loving him more each day!

Initial Thoughts: Shiseido Ibuki Ready For Anything Skin

Good morning AMW Friends!
Very early today, I will be doing a makeup to Mr. AMW's cousin as it is her graduation day and she's not only going up the stage to get her diploma!  She is going up the stage as a Cum Laude as well!  So proud of her!  Maine, if you're reading this, Mr. AMW and I are proud of you!

Speaking of proud, one thing I'm proud about myself is the fact that I can hold off NOT using the next skincare products (as much as I would love to jump from one brand to another), I just can't!  And I can't believe I have such willpower!  It must be my sensitive skin or my skin's inability to adapt from sudden skincare changes!  *laughs*  Poor me!

My first ever Shiseido skincare product range that I have tried is their Shiseido 1-2-3 Skincare Moisturizing Line, I told you the story about the "samples purchasing" at Bonjour Hong Kong several years ago!  The next range was the  White Lucent Line which is as equally good as the moisturizing line!  I was so tempted to jump to the new Ibuki line right away but I have to let my skin settle and breatheas I insert one product at a time (ex. Cleanser first, then eye cream, then moisturizer etc...) as it is easier to pinpoint the "suspect" in case there are any skin issues.

That works for me so I hope some of you may find this tip useful and give it a try when you plan on trying out new brands!

AMW x Skin Perfect Gives: Happy 13th Year Anniversary ADM Products

It's a "-ber" month, it's Friday....and guess what, it's just a random day that I want to make YOU feel happy again and again!  

When I created this blog, I told myself I wanted to help other people in my own way, that's when I created the blog "Ask me what's...." why AskMeWhats?

I've been asked that question so many times I've finally decided to set my FOOD *ahem* FOOT down and tell you a quick yet sweet story!  During "Friendster" days, there is an account called "Taong Grasa" (I'm not sure if you knew or heard about this) but this person is so nice in helping people by giving advices online.  Since I'm the "Mommy" of my friends as they always come to me for a hand, shoulder, arms and legs to lean on :P , I've decided to create a blog, a confidential one to help give solutions or if I can't give any...at least cheer people up!  Who would've thought I ended up giving beauty-related advices? 

To keep the long story short, my blog may have shifted direction from an advise blog to a beauty blog, my mission holds true until today, to keep readers happy, to keep readers in-the-know, the let them know they are not alone when they are going through difficulties in life!  It helps to vent I tell you!  It really does, and to have someone listen to you whether you know them or not, is such a huge help for me that's why I'm returning the favor by at least sharing some simple joys!  

(Ang haba ng intro ko! hahaha)  

So to keep the long story short, I have a giveaway!  (ayun lang pala! hahaha)  But before I do so, let me tell you about a skin clinic called Skin Perfect, I have seen them around and I actually treated my mom and dad facial services there in the past, but would you believe they have been around for exactly 13 years?  That proves how good they are in what they do!  

I recently got an invite to attend their 13th year anniversary "Me-Time" activity at Robinsons Magnolia, but since I'm a mommy (with NO yaya) and my schedule is always crazy (translate: Depending on Baby Kyle's mood or if someone can look after him) , it was unfortunate that I wasn't able to attend and celebrate with them!  Thankfully, Skin Perfect was kind enough to let me visit them the next day and even acknowledged my request to have something for my readers!  I'll tell you more about it later on!  You have to bear with my stories :P  It's a requirement! *laughs*
