AMW Version: Too Cool For School Glam Rock

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I hope my huge smiling photo can brighten up your day!  Okay, I don't look like I had makeup on or probably I look sick to some of you but really, I'm not, I'm just trying to "rock" the "Glam Rock" look and that means, Nude Lips too!  Seriously, I can never look good with a nude colored lipstick minus smokey eye makeup but what the heck?  I want to challenge myself to create a subtle version of Glam Rock look inspired by Too Cool For School Glam Rock collection using only 3 of the makeups from this collection.  As for which particular products I used?  Well, I made it a bit too easy for you,  you can see me holding them!  #feelingmodel


Thanks Too Cool For School for sending me these 3 products last year!  I never thought I could actually wear nude lipstick without much makeup on!  Seriously, I went out with the look I created above and so far, I wasn't asked if I'm sick or feeling under the weather!  That's a first!  I always get the: "Nikki, do you feel okay?" or "Nikki, you didn't sleep well no?" whenever I wear nude lipsticks!

I Wonder: Makeup You Secretly Hoard

Hi AMW friends!  By the time you're reading this, I'm off to UST hospital with Mr. AMW and Baby AMW for Kyle's monthly check!  He is due for another shot and I pray he doesn't get sick or as fuzzy as last month!  A mom's got to do what a mom's got to do!  PRAY!  

I'm sure I had you at my blogpost title...are you still thinking at the moment which particular makeup you secretly hoard? 


Want to know what's mine?  Any guesses?  Well, you'll know more about it after the jump....

AMW Reviews: Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation

Happy Monday AMW friends!
How was your weekend?  I was sick over the weekend!  It was unusual for me to have cough and cold but my body finally caved in to germs!  It was really difficult as I'm a nursing mom so I didn't take any medication at all fearing some of the medicine may pass to my baby through breast milk!  But don't worry, I'm taking precautions and trying my best not to spread the virus!  :)  

Last year (as if it was ages ago..lol) I received Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and Pressed Powder and it took me a while to use it before I can clearly share my review!  


The name itself "Nearly Naked" is something WE all wanted for a makeup!  Here's my review on the foundation, the pressed powder will be up soon!

Weekend Food Trip at: Modern China, Glorietta 4

First food post for the year 2014!
Let's talk about Chinese food!  Who loves Chinese food?  Well, obviously, I do!  I can still remember my strong desire to eat Chinese dimsum even a couple of hours before I gave birth!  Yes, I ate even when my doctor was against it!  #TigasNgUlo

Before we bid 2013 goodbye, my friends wanted us to meet up for a quiet post-Christmas dinner.  Modern China was suggested by one of my friend who dined there a couple of times! 

Spinach Shrimp Dumplings
Php120.00 (approx $2.79) for 4 pcs
We actually went for 2nd round as this was extremely good!  Even my non-vegetable lover guy friend enjoyed this!  The good thing about Modern China's version of Spinach Shrimp dumpling is that the amount of spinach was just right so you don't get the overwhelming taste of it.

Something New: Inglot

Happy Weekend everyone!
Aren't you excited it's weekend again after going back to work for 2 days?  Well some of you probably aren't back at work until Monday *lucky you* but yours truly is a nerd, I'm back at work on Thursday and Friday so I'm really looking forward for the weekend!

Aside from looking forward for the weekend, I am looking forward for a very busy 2014!  Aside from more makeup seminars, shoots and gigs, I have makeup bookings for the year 2014 so I'm excited to share more makeover photos and tips!  As for makeup, I have thrown most of my makeup from last year (trust me, it hurts but it has to be done as some of them are quite old!) 

As they say: "Out with the old, in with the new!"  and one of the new makeup brand that's included in my makeup traincase is Inglot!  I am so happy when I learned Inglot is finally in the Philippines.  They are what most of us are looking for...professional makeup at an affordable price! 

I wasn't able to attend the launch of Inglot a couple of months ago, but thanks Martha for helping me pick the shades for my Freedom Palette, you know me too well! I love the colors you picked!


For you who are afraid to visit the store, I'll include pricing details so the next time you pass by Inglot, you wouldn't be scared as the price points are really good considering the wide range of shades you can choose from!
