Unboxing: December BDJ Box - Max Factor

Happy Friday everyone!
Aren't you excited for the weekend?  Christmas Day is drawing near and I can't wait to share more giveaways for my dear AMW readers who are still here checking out my blog for updates --- THANK YOU!  Please visit AskMeWhats every now and then as more giveaways will be up within the week or so!  

Recently, I received BDJ's December Box and I find this very special!  Why?  Aside from the exclusive Max Factor box, I also get a Focus/Finish planner from Belle De Jour which I find really important as I'm really into traditional writing amidst the electronic world!  Yes, even with my updated electronic gadgets, I still prefer my trustee handy-dandy notebooks to keep myself sane from all the crazy schedule!  How about you?  Are we the same oldie-but-goodie? :P

Please continue reading to see what's inside!  I'm excited with these as I haven't tried a lot of Max Factor products! 

AMW Reviews: Maybelline Clear Smooth All In One Shine Free Cake Powder (Nude Beige)

Thursday deserves a THROWBACK Thursday post!

Well, I'm referring to a Throwback Brand!  Maybelline is definitely one of the very few brands I started my interest in makeup!  I remember hovering around Maybelline SM Sta. Mesa counter (not as a thief, but as a possible customer lol) checking on their various lipsticks and blushes!  Their prices aren't as competitive as today and I remembered telling myself to wait for my "part time job" salary (as a tutor) before I purchase one.  

Throwback na throwback no?

Today, I will be sharing a review on Maybelline's Clear Smooth All in One Shine-Free Foundation.  The shine-free term puts me off as I'm into dewy makeup nowadays, but for the sake of review, I used this for 1 full month before I gave it to my big sister who happily received it and I got immediate grateful text several days after! She obviously loved this!

Something New: Absynthe Bath and Beauty Products

So many local brands coming up with products worth having a 2nd, 3rd and 4th look!

I recently got a nice kit from Absynthe Bath and beauty and I swear, for someone who likes to "hit the pan" on old products before trying out a new one, I just can't resist is!  I immediately took photos of these and removed the protective seal and sniffed each one of the product!  *arfff* :P

I won't be able to write a detailed review yet on these products as I've been jumping around trying one from the other!  The most I've used out of all these is the Hair Potion.  But before I talk more about that, let me share to you what Absynthe Bath & Beauty offers!

LOTD: Estee Lauder Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipstick Glow Fuchsia

Hi everyone!
I came home a bit late from a busy Monday and of course, most of the time, I'm stuck in traffic so instead of spending a long time here in front of the computer, I've decided to share a quick post on my favorite lipstick as of the moment.

The Estee Lauder Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipstick in Glow Fuchsia.

This lipstick is part of the Estee Lauder Metallics Fall 2013 Collection.  I'm not sure how long these lipsticks are going to be on counters but if you plan to get ONE lipstick this season, try investing on one as they glide on like a dream on my super dry lips!
