AMW Reviews: Koren Zander Pro Brush Soap (Cantaloupe)

Today is Thursday and it's a perfect day to talk about TBT #ThrowbackThursday.  Same as a lot of you, I love watching Beauty Gurus on YouTube!  I am fascinated by how much I learned by just a few clicks on my computer/iPad!  One of my favorite guru is none other than Koren of Enkore!  I find him as one of the smartest Beauty Guru on Youtube and I seriously learn so much from him!  With his limitless ideas, I'm not surprised he finally came up with his own product line!  I'm still rooting for his makeup line but for now, I'm glad he created a Pro Brush Soap with loofah at the backside of the soap! 

Why?  Well...deep cleaning my brush is one task I try my best to love!  It is a difficult task especially for a mom like me who don't have enough time to stand in front of the sink for almost an hour cleaning ALL my professional brushes!  As much as I'd love to skip this step, I know I can't as I'm protecting the faces of my clients!  

How do I deep clean my brushes?  I make sure to have a sponge with me as swirling the brushes on the palm of your hand is fun for the first 10 brushes but it is a pain on the neck, hand and legs if you go beyond 10!  (Comment YES if you agree!) 

Thankfully, Koren Zander created ONE smart bar of brush soap with an attached loofah on the other side!  After using this soap for weeks, I'm ready to share my thoughts on this!

The Spa Red Carpet Treatment Experience + Win Your Own Red Carpet Treatment!

Several months ago, I booked myself a treatment called "Red Carpet Treatment" at The Spa.  It was a random "no work day" for me that's why I picked the said date but little did I know that it was a perfect day for a pampering as it was the same day I received an award from StyleBible VSA as Best Beauty Blogger!  (Still in awe for winning the said title!) 

Earlier that day, I did a makeup workshop for a makeup brand for 4 long hours and after a quick lunch,  I've decided to go to The Spa earlier than my scheduled time as I plan to express milk (I'm a nursing mom)  After being greeted by the friendly receptionists, I was immediately ushered to the Villa!  It was located at the topmost floor of The Spa, Bonifacio High Street. 


Stairway to Heaven :)

I Wonder: What's Your To-Go-To Palette?

Happy Tuesday AMW Friends!
Today's I Wonder Post, I wish most of you would comment back to share me your answer as I'm super intrigued to know "What's Your To-Go-To Palette?"

The reason why I asked is because over the weekend, I had the chance to fix my professional kit as I'm on for a busy November and December (yes, back to work baby!).  As I looked into my professional kit, I realized, there are so many makeup products that I personally love that I gave up because I'd rather give the best for clients!  

As I went back to fix my personal kit, I saw a palette I reach out for the most when I needed to prettify myself!  And it is not bigger than the palm of my hand!

AMW Reviews: ZA Total Hydration BB Cream White SPF50+ PA+++

Are you still on the search for the best BB Cream for you?  I know some may have moved to CC creams or soon DD creams (I can't believe they will be coming with that one!  Still sounded like a bra size to me hehehe).  But I am still in love in trying out different BB Creams, never fail to make me smile as I remember those days I am spending most of my free time in front of the computer online shopping for Korean BB Creams!  Look what a couple of years can do!  Most BB creams we long for are locally available! 

One of them is the ZA Total Hydration BB Cream UV White!  No need to travel to Hong Kong for our most loved ZA products!
