AMW Reports: MAC Huggable Lipcolour Makeover

How does one feel like when a specific look was designed for you?
I felt like a celebrity, a model!
That was last Saturday!  Inspired by MAC's Huggable LipColour Collection, I was invited, "bare faced", for a makeover at MAC Rustans Makati and I end up looking and feeling amorous? (Definition: showing, feeling relating to sexual desire)  LOL  Okay, I was not feeling that, I was referring to my lipstick shade! *wipes perspiration* 


I will share the simple steps and tricks I learned during the one-on-one makeup session!  Noel showed me a face chart he did specifically for me and I breathe a big sigh of relief as the makeup is quite natural as I was in simple top and shorts!

Maybelline Super Mineral 24 Healthy Long Lasting Foundation with Perlite Review






Hello everyone!  Hope you are in a good mood today as you are reading this post!  What keeps you going by the way?  If you ask me, aside from my lovely family, the superficial side is....COFFEE!  I'm back with a vengeance!  But of course, I'm staying good!  1 cup of coffee a day drives the #badvibes away! :)

I am so excited to share a liquid foundation review from Maybelline!  I received this a month (or more?) ago and I've been testing this on various occasions!  Staying inside an air-conditioned room, staying out and the best test of all?  Divisoria shopping!  Though the weather is a bit cool nowadays, I will still share my month-long usage review on this product!  Of course my readers out there, if you have tried this product, feel free to comment below and tell me your skin type and your experiences so we can help other readers with different skin conditions.

AMW Reviews: Girlstuff Nail Polish

Happy Tuesday everyone!
Yes!  Finally!  I'm back to doing something for my nails!  Well not really  nail art for now but at least I'm starting to paint my nails once again!  Ooohh the joys of having baby!  I just want to spend spare time playing with him rather than prettifying myself!  Thanks to YOU for being my dear loyal blog reader, because I'm forced to test more products thus, I'm also forced to look at least a bit GOOD!  hahaha

Let's talk about safe nail polishes!  Nail Polishes free from the BIG 3 are usually expensive, that's why I blogged about Girl Stuff Nail Polishes almost 3 years ago as they are safe yet really inexpensive!  Yes, even after 3 years, the price remain affordable!  Good job Girl Stuff!

This year, they are coming up with MORE colors/collection!  I was so happy when I passed by their SM Mall of Asia kiosk as I find their colors really exciting!

Here are 2 collections I will be adding up to my "big" polish collection!  I'm actually using more safe polishes now with Baby AMW around! 

L-R Girl Stuff Holiday Collection 2014 and Sophisticate


Girlstuff says ---
Its inevitable ... your little girls will always want to prettify themselves. If they will do so, let them use products that are SAFE and appropriate to their age. GIRLSTUFF products are designed specially for young girls...safe, but trendy!

AMW Reviews: Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

Happy Start of the Week AMW Friends!
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see what a productive weekend I had!  Well, it started as early as Friday!  I had a whole day shoot for a hair brand that I love (will tell more about it soon) then I went to Benefit's Agent Zero Porefessional Powder Launch at Aracama and was able to catch up with my friends from Benefit and fellow beauty bloggers.  

On Saturday, I went at MAC Makati counter for my Huggable Lips Makeover and also had a brow wax at Benefit with Baby AMW around (he was such an angel!  No complaints at all!  Well, except a quick diaper change at the Benefit Boutique) and hey!  I was able to squeeze in a grocery shopping at Rustans Supermarket!  *yay* 

And yesterday, I went back to Divisoria to purchase more toys for Baby AMW's Upcoming First Birthday Party.

If my weekend isn't busy, I don't know how you call it! :)   How was yours?

Since I'm always on a go, I tend to do short-cuts when it comes to makeup application so I definitely fell in love with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush!  I got this from MySoCalShoppe and fell free to scroll further down to read my thoughts about this brush!

Eureka Moment: You Pick, Nippon Pack!

Hi AMW Friends!
I am so excited to share a Eureka Moment post for makeup enthusiasts out there!  Mind you, not just makeup artists but ALL makeup users out there!

Aside from investing on a good makeup tools, I can't stress enough on using quality sponges, cotton buds, cleansing wipes etc...!

That's why when I learned about Nippon Esthetics and their wide range of tools to help create gorgeous faces, I never looked back!  I always make sure to stock on their products for both personal and professional use! 

And when I received this set during the Christmas season last year!  I had this Eureka Moment in my head to share to you guys that they are already available in retail packs! 


My favorite Nippon Checklist which I tape on my mirror as I use this as my checklist for every makeup gigs!
