I Wonder: How Adventurous Are You? (Hair Edition)

Hi everyone!  It is a gorgeous Thursday today!  The day keeps getting busier each day, though tired, I am loving every moment of 2014!  There are just so many happenings the first quarter of the year so I can't wait for the next!  

Today, I have a question I've been meaning to ask you for quite some time!  I took time because I need to find photos just to prove a point!  *laughs*  Okay, it wasn't easy for me to find old digital photos of myself as I realized I'm a "Kodak" girl!  "Kodakan" days using "Kodak" films *hahaha*

Let's talk about hair!  Though my hair really isn't my "crowning glory" as it isn't the hair shampoo commercial type.  I still love them dearly and I make sure to take care of them!  I have spent a lot on hair products and God knows the sacrifices I've done just to save money to purchase hair styling products!

What's my signature cut?  Ask anyone from my "school" days and they would say: "Short with bangs".  No wonder I'm called "The Bangs Girl".

Okay, I can't seem to find my grade school photos but my hair technically looks the same as the photos below!  *laughs*

First photo upper left, I had bangs, I just clipped it because I was just experimenting, and the end part?  My bangs won! :P


After my "studious" days, I guess I got tired of the "above the shoulder" or shoulder-length hair so when I started working, I've decided to grow my hair long (thanks to Rebonding service) and went for serious layers!  For years, I had my hair either long or a bit below the shoulder!  I bid full bangs goodbye and sported side fringe!  I did play around with hair colors as well, yet I never went for wild hair color!  In these years, I also enjoy styling my hair and experimented on curls (with the use of flat and curling irons).

AMW Version: Happy Heart's Month Look

Happy Wednesday AMW Friends!
Today, as promised, I will be sharing an "AMW Version" post a.k.a. step-by-step makeup tutorial as inspired by the "Heart's Month".  I've created day time and night time Valentine's day look on my last post using L'Oreal Color Riche lipsticks and the night time looks won with a landslide!  I guess you guys are tired seeing me in neutral looks huh? Well, all your wishes are my command!  Thanks for emailing me your requests and I'll try my best to do more looks and more tutorials! 

Here's how it looks like when I'm doing the "dramatic" look *lol*


Are you ready for picture-laden tutorial?

AMW Reviews: Maybelline New Super Mineral 24 with Perlite 2-Way Cake Foundation

Hi everyone! Hope this day is treating you well.
I'm a powder foundation person and I usually go for BB Cream or CC Cream then powder foundation!  That's why I was really ecstatic when I got the newest Maybelline 2-Way Cake Foundation! 

The packaging is the best that I've seen from Maybelline (in my humble opinion).

Initial Thoughts: The Cream Factory Bath Creams

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
I had a lovely weekend seeing my good friend got married!  Ah, weddings make me happy and I'm glad to witness such happy event!

Today and the rest of February will be very busy for me so my "me" time for now, aside from the time when baby AMW falls asleep will be bath time!  Seriously, I even had to rush myself at times just because I know there are so many things left to do before the day ends!  So when I got The Cream Factory Bath Creams from my Sampleroom family, it was a perfect excuse for me to stay longer inside the shower!  Come on, lathering up goat's milk bath cream is something you wouldn't want to rush doing!

L-R Goat's Milk & Honey, Goat's Milk & Seaweed

I call this post an "Initial Thoughts" post because I only got to try Goat's Milk & Honey for now.
