AMW Wears: (Extra) Sexy White Shirt

Happy Friday everyone!
Let's talk about fashion, I can't seem to stress more how I am into comfort especially now that I'm a mom!  

A few years back, I blogged about my favorite Sexy White Shirt tops and I've worn them a lot of times in white and gray!  I like pairing them with shorts, jeans or even glam them up a bit with a scarf or statement necklace!  

But, after giving me, no matter how much I'd love to wear my Sexy White Shirts again to feel *ahem* sexy, I can't!  Let's face it, my body isn't the same as before plus the fact that I am currently nursing my little one, (maybe it's a good thing), I"m more "gifted" up there!  *laughs*  Okay, I seriously blushed a bit while typing this!  

Thankfully, my favorite brand came up with Extra Sexy Collection that would fit Small to Medium Frame.  Aside from the said changes, I was told they sourced for more luxurious organic cotton fabric and I can really tell that these shirts feel and look better on me!

AMW Reviews: Ofra Lipsticks

Happy Thursday everyone!  Funny how each time I feature a lipstick brand, the shade that would always be featured is a red and a pink!  I guess most of us are looking for good pink and red lipsticks that can change the way we look in an instant!  In less than a minute!

As a professional makeup artist, that's my one little secret in changing the looks of my clients especially when they are on a Prenup shoot (wherein various looks are needed). Thankfully, I get to try Ofra brand via Glamourbox

There are no shade names but instead, it's numbered

Dear AMW Friends,
Please watch this short video...



So true right? 

AMW Reviews: Sleek Kajal Eyeliner in Odyssey (Purple)

When we talk about Kajal Liners, I always imagine them as dark colored liners used to create dramatic looks!  My very first Kajal Liner is from The Body Shop, and true to what I say, they came in dark shades in which I love to use when I create smoky eye looks!

Though I've used the Kajal Liner several times, I still have a lot left so I don't know how a single individual can finish Kajal Liners!  Unless, you wear them 24/7 and 365 days a year? :D

Okay back to Kajal Liners (I seriously tend to blab too much so forgive me :P), my favorite brand Sleek came up with their own Kajal Eyeliner and this time I got the purple shade!


Why in the world do I need a purple Kajal Liner when I can easily pick my purple eyeliner pencil to give an instant color on my water line or lower lash line?

Well, Kajal Eyeliners are unique because they can double up as an eyeshadow base aside from eyeliner.  They are creamy enough to be used as an eyeshadow base creating an instant pop to whatever powder shades you have on top!

Ben Nye Media Pro HD NK-1 Conceal-All-Wheel Review

I realized I haven't posted about concealers for quite sometime!  Not that my skin is perfect, but I have notion of "less is more" as always!  Since most liquid/cream foundations have good amount of coverage, I usually double up my foundation as a concealer!  That's the reason why I don't speak much about these.
But that doesn't mean I don't use them or need them!  As a professional makeup artist, a good concealer should always be available in your kit!  You may never know what your clients may request.  I have one client with a huge birth mark on his face who requested me to cover them for his hosting job.  Another client with freckles requested me to cover them (though I personally prefer them peeking out a bit)...customers are always right and we have to satisfy their requests and needs!  

I have been a long time user of the Make Up For Ever Camouflage Cream palette and like some of you, I panicked when the store closed for a while so I immediately searched for something as good or even better!  Aside from my favorite HD brand Graftobian, Ben Nye comes to mind as these are high quality products meant for professionals that doesn't break the bank!

The Conceal-All-Wheel comes with 4 concealing shades!  I personally think this wheel is a nifty product that can correct, conceal and highlight!
