Why I Like "Em Edible!

I grew up in a family of 6 in a usual 80's family setting.  The dad works while my mom is a SAHM (Stay at home mom).  With 4 of us studying in an private school, there's no budget for "extras" in the house.  In Mom and Dad's Anniversary, Dad's Birthday, Mom's Birthday,  Mother's Day, Father's Day and whatever occasion that screams for gift giving, the 4 of us would always pitch in for either ice cream or a cake!  You will never see a bouquet of flowers or just a single flower as a sign of greeting...as my mom would always say...

"Hindi mo naman makakain ang bulaklak!" (You can't eat flowers.)

So I grew up with the notion of giving fruits for my relatives every Christmas season.  But in my heart, I like the gorgeous arrangement of flowers, the unique color combination that gives the recipient a certain "high".  I had that feeling when a suitor hand me one (Promise, I have suitors aside from Keith lol) :P

And guess what, the bright minds came up with an idea of "edible arrangements".

AMW Reports: A Visit at Max Factor Landmark Trinoma Branch

Good day AMW Friends!
It's weekend!  I'm sharing a Max Factor moment with you guys!  I know the brand has been around but I haven't been visiting their counter much as I always thought they don't have anything new to offer!  Well, last weekend, I was proven wrong!  

Max Factor has a new and better looking counter at Landmark Trinoma Branch!  It screams modern, professional and looks more inviting than ever!


I took a quick look around the counter and found some old favorites PLUS lots of new products to watch out for!

Coach #FlowerFriday

A couple of weeks ago, on a Friday, I received a lovely basket with a sweet surprise at the center.... can you spot it?



 After taking several photos, I've decided to pull out the cute bottle of fragrance from Coach called Coach Poppy Citrine Blossom.  I gave a squeal when I saw the cute green poppy-flower like attached at the perfume bottle and I immediately got an awesome idea to use it on my hair!  

Maybelline Clear Smooth BB Stick 8-in-1 Skin Transformer Review




I have been accustomed about BB creams for years, but BB on a stick?  That's something!  Thanks to BDJ October Box, I got to try one of Maybelline's Star products --- the Clear Smooth Shine Free Clear Stick BB Stick!  I did mention this product will go straight to my sister's kikay kit but dear sis, I am so sorry, I got too intrigued with this product I have to try this first before I pass it on to you...if you're reading this..well, you have no choice! :P

AMW Reviews: Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Palette in 03 Warm Beige Shades

Happy Thursday AMW Friends!  How have you been?  
Today, I will be sharing a brand we nearly "lost"!  I was one of the many MUFE fans who nearly went crazy when I learned my favorite MUFE Shangri-la branch was gone!  Where will I get my favorite Camouflage palette?  Eye pencils and eye shadows? 

Thankfully, in a few months' time, I learned MUFE is finally back!  I visited their pop up store at SM Aura recently (post AMW Reports: Make Up For Ever Philippines is BACK!) and I'm happy to announce that aside from our favorites, Make Up For Ever has more products for both the PROS and Make Up Addicts!  One of their most recent additions is their Rouge Artist Palette.  Don't get swayed with the product name, this isn't only for the professionals, this product is for ALL lipstick addicts out there who are creative enough to come up with their own ideal lipstick shades!
