Something New: Happy Skin Valentine Kiss #KrisValentineKiss

Kris Aquino, the Queen of Talk, has always been an "icon" when it comes to the perfect Pink Lips (Just like Anne Curtis on her red lips.)  Inspired by her favorite pink color, Kris Aquino approached the Happy Skin founders and asked them to create a limited-edition lipstick called Valentine Kiss perfect for the Heart's Day plus it is her birthday as well!  Branded with her autograph, this marks her stamp of approval as her signature pop of pink.

Yes, you don't need to guess which color of lipstick she's wearing and try to scour different brands for a "dupe", you can definitely get the Kris Aquino lips for only Php549.00!  Great job to the Happy Skin founders Jacqe Yuengtian-Guttierez and Rissa Mananquil-Trillo! 

  

What made me even LOVE this lipstick more?   For every Kris Aquino lippie sold, a portion of sales will go to the maintenance of Our Lady of Manaoag in Pangasinan!  So yes, we can stay "kikay" and beautiful at the same time, help other -- I call that Beauty with a HEART!             

AMW Reviews: Too Cool For School Glam Rock Smoky Nudy Lip Color

Hi everyone!  Good day!  I hope you're in a mood today as I'm in a mood to share my favorite nude lipstick as of date!  I have shown my Too Cool For School Glam Rock look using 3 star products from the collection and I have requests asking me to review the lipstick!

Your wish will always be my command!  Not in an instant, but I listen! :D  Don't I deserve a hug?

I am so addicted in creating my own shade of lipsticks nowadays and my favorite base?  Too Cool For School Smoky Nudy Lip Color from the Glam Rock collection.  Why?  Because this color doesn't make me look sick yet it is hydrating enough not to enhance my super dry, patchy lips!  If you haven't gotten the chance to find the perfect nude lipstick until now..head on to TCFS stores and try this on!  This may work for you just like it worked for me!

Too Cool For School Smoky Nudy Lip Color in Satin Beige

TCFS says ---

Glossy lipstick never goes well with smoky eyes-say yes to natural edgy nudy lipstick.

Less glossy, more of a soft touch, it stick closely to your lips with a touch.

 

Shades: Pale Beige and Satin Beige

AMW Reviews: Biolage Colorcare Therapie Shampoo and Conditioner

Hi AMW Friends!
It's a hair product day today!  I know I haven't really talked much about hair products as I find them to take a bit of time and several uses before I can really say if it's good or not!  But I do get a lot of email queries on what's the best shampoo and conditioner and to be honest, I always answer them: "It really depends on your hair situation."  

I have to admit, there's NO brand out there that could really make my hair look like a hair shampoo commercial unless if I go through Rebond service or Permanent Blow Dry services.  I can improve the "feel" or look of my hair but it takes time and a whole lot of effort!  

So far, my best advice is to deep condition your hair at least once a week with hair treatment of choice plus use clarifying shampoos at least once or twice a week depending on how much hair products you  use in a day! 

Today, I will be sharing one of my favorite shampoo and conditioner brand, Biolage by Matrix.  I have used Biolage more than a decade ago when this brand isn't even available in the local market!  My best friend, who lives in Canada then, went for a Rebond Treatment (which was really new and very expensive during that time) was advised to use Biolage Products by her Hairstylist and she loved the results!  Since my best friend and I have almost the same hair condition, she purchased me a set and I ended loving them too! 

Fast forward to today, I may have used a lot of shampoo and conditioner brands but Biolage will always have a special place in my heart!  So when I was invited to be one of Matrix Ambassador for the year 2014, I immediately said YES!  And what's even more exciting?  I got to take home these....

 
Ahh, brings back good 'ol memories!  I used to really scrimp on using these!

Weekend Food Trip at: Tokyo Tokyo

It's Sunday and I'm finally back with a food post!  I skipped 2 Sundays as I have been very busy with so many things!  I wonder when I will stop saying the word "busy"....maybe..when I retire? :P  

Remember the Tokyo Tokyo contest I held 2 months ago?  Well, I had to visit Tokyo Tokyo again after seeing the "Ramen" poster and I took my parents and brother along at SM Sta. Mesa Branch together with Mr. AMW and Baby AMW!  It was a lovely feast, the restaurant, as always, was packed and I'm glad we got a good seat!  

As for our orders?  

Beef Misono and Honey Chicken Teriyaki Bento

 Comes with unlimited rice and 2 glasses of Red Iced Tea

This has been a winner for us as Keith and I love to share different dishes so this is perfect for couples who love to share their meals!  Both the Beef Misono and Honey Chicken Teriyaki Bento are flavorful, no need for the extra sauce on the side!

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!
