Instagram Check: Thank You!

Happy Saturday AMW Friends!
Today is a VERY busy day!  We need to move our bed to our new home as we need to sleep in our new home tonight!  I also have a makeup workshop to attend to both Saturdays and Sundays for Benefit Cosmetics Philippines!  Seriously, I am very excited for the busy day!  I don't know how I could manage it but I know I can! :) 

Anyways, whenever I put baby AMW to sleep, I always take at least 30 minutes to 1 hour hugging him, touching his face or just stare at him and thank God for the blessing!  Afterwards, I would go and express my milk as I scroll my social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram).  I also like to look back on all the photos I posted on Instagram especially at Kyle's photos! (man!  He is growing so fast!!!)  At the same time, I get to look back and thank the companies who believe in my blog and for sending me products to try!  I have YOU guys to thank to as well, when I started this blog, all I wanted was to share my thoughts on products I used and want to help other people out there to save money!  So THANK YOU to those who are still here, reading my everyday posts!  My blog won't grow without YOU!  So can we have another *group hug* please? :D 

 Because I am only human who gets really tired, my secret on staying cheerful is to always look back and thank GOD for all the blessings He has given me!  Aside from giving me the best husband, baby and family who supports me from day 1, I also have companies who support my blog!  I mean, seriously, without YOU guys, I'll probably spend MORE on beauty products!  At least, what I saved up can go to Kyle's Kiddie savings account! :D *yay*

Benefit Cosmetics sent me Christmas Gift, Christmas and New Year 2013 has passed but this came in perfectly for Chinese New Year!  I actually own The Bronze of Champions so this is my second one, so kindly expect a giveaway coming soon!  This is a lovely set perfect for summer so please visit AskMeWhats everyday! :D

 

Next that I'm thankful of?  Me being part of SampleRoom's family!  I mean seriously, this group is the best!  I'm not talking about freebies and free stuff (well, that is a bonus) but the fact that you know you have a family who shares common interests and believes in trying out samples before buying full size!  I mean, who doesn't love that?  It doesn't hurt that the family loves Baby Kyle!!! :D

CalChews

Comes in Chocolate and Caramel flavor.  My favorite is the chocolate flavor and seriously, this is very addictive!  I actually brought all these for my family when we had a short staycation at Crown Plaza Galleria Manila and they love it too!  I only have a box left!

Hi AMW friends!
Can I share something quick yet sweet?  Sweet because there is a special tip I learned when I had my makeup done by Maybelline's Makeup Artist Jim Ryan Ros!  Since he was sweet enough to share to me his tricks of the trade, I want to share it to you guys just in case you have one hell-of-an-oily skin and makeup always slides off your face! :D

Aye?  It's you?  Well, thank Jim for his wonderful tip and I actually road-tested this tip for the WHOLE day and it definitely worked!

Are you excited to know what it is?  Well..hello..you have to pay me first *winks*  Pay me with  a huge SMILE! :D

AMW Reviews: Benefit Ultra Plush Lip Gloss in Poutrageous

Hi AMW family!  I want to sing the song "We Are Family" at the moment as that's how I feel between me and you!  *naks* *Group Hug*

I don't think there will be a day that I'm going to just sit, relax and do nothing! Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but seriously, typing this blog post is a breathe of fresh air!  This is my "me" time and I am actually smiling right now!  (Just so you know, baby AMW is sleeping soundly at the moment) :P #KayaPala 

Anyways, Benefit's Color Collection was launched mid last year and I actually had the chance to try these products (during Photoshoot) before they were out in stores!  As much as I want to try them on me, I had to stop myself from doing so but use these lovely glosses on models instead   Read: BTS Ladies of Benefit Lane Photoshoot and AMW Makeovers: Benefit's Ladies of Benefit Lane.

I'm not sure how I got the New Ultra Plush Lip Gloss but I finally got my hands on Poutrageous shade after the launch!  Thanks Benefit Philippines for sending me this to try! 

Benefit says ---
The plushness is poutrageous! Our soft & silky glosses glide on sooo smooth, drenching lips in luscious color that’s never sticky. From crystal clear to hot pink, the luxurious formulas give your lips a kissable, sexy sheen.

Unboxing: January/February BDJ Box

I got my January/February BDJ box last week and to be honest, I am SO excited to try most of the items included in the box but I have to hold off myself as I've been too busy with a lot of things!  The AMW family moving out is happening this February so can you just imagine how crazy our schedule is?

Aside from the super full box, they also included a box of Garnier Color Naturals Cream Nourishing Permanent Hair Colour in Darkest Brown (Php199.00/approx $4.60) and I will hand this over to my mom as I just had highlights done for my hair (thanks Matrix Philippines!)

Now what's inside the BDJBox?

AMW Reviews: Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder

Hi everyone!  I'm back with another review!  I did a review on the most awaited Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and the product lives up to its name, the effect is indeed nearly naked.  As stated on my "con", the liquid foundation is low in oil-control, which doesn't bother me much as I have very dry skin but for oily-skinned users out there, you may want to take a look at their Pressed Powder.  

Before you ask me about the coverage, you have to be reminded that this is a Pressed Powder, not a Powder foundation so it is expected that there is light or almost no coverage at all!  Pressed powder is a perfect tool to use to prevent your foundation from "caking up" as it doesn't have the extra coverage that may may make you look "too made up".

So, are you ready to read my thoughts on the Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder?
