I Wonder: Korean or Japanese Makeup?

Yay!  My favorite month is FINALLY here!  I don't know why I'm even excited!  I'm turning 35 this year!  *gasp*  Seriously, I don't feel 35 and I definitely do not act like my age!!!  

Today, I'm heading to Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria for a weekend stay as it is a yearly thing with my family for a bonding period during the Chinese New Year!  We also have this mandatory family photo taking and it was fun seeing how we changed through the years!  Ooohh, last year I was 5 months pregnant and my family gave me a surprise Baby Shower party!  This year, I have a hyper-active Baby AMW and I love the addition to the AMW family!

Seriously, I can go on and on about my life but I am stopping HERE as I don't want you to get bored!  Since I express milk 3-4 times a day, the ever hyper mommy (me!) dislike the idle time so I like to watch Youtube videos while I express milk!  That's when I start to see different makeup looks from Japanese to Korean style.  As always, inspiration struck so I thought of posting about this to get your votes!

Do you like Japanese or Korean style makeup?

Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Bright Fit Review

Happy Friday!  Kung Hei Fat Choi!  It's Chinese New Year so I"m wishing everyone good health, fortune and happiness!  For a "brighter" Year of the Horse, I will be reviewing one of the most requested BB Cream review based from my poll on AskMeWhats Facebook Page!

Though I've found "The one" when it comes to BB Cream, I can't help but got intrigued when there were more than 3 requests for me to review this BB Cream!  Without any thoughts, I visited Etude House Market Market branch and swatched all 4 shades and ended up with Natural Beige shade which is a perfect BB Cream shade for my skin tone!

Etude House says ---

Pomotes silky complexion with pearl infused sheer coverage. Contains adenosine and arbutin for anti-wrinkle and whitening efficacies. Also features SPF30 / PA++ UV protection & anti-darkening. Formulated for Sheer Silky complexion coverage! 

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!
