AMW Reports: A Visit at Clinique SM MOA + Giveaway

It is Clinique Day today!

Going back to a Clinique counter sends me back to good memory lane!  If you are a looooonggg time reader of my blog, you will know that one of the many few "splurges" I did was to shop for Clinique skincare products!  I used to stay at Clinique Counter, Duty Free Philippines Branch for hours whenever I get the chance to visit because I'm always in love with their GWP!  (Gift with purchase)  Can you imagine how many Clinique Pouches I own to date?  (Too many to mention they are all stored in a box!  lol)  I can hear you say "hoarder" from afar! :P

Back to where this post should be about, I was invited by Clinique Philippines to visit their SM Mall of Asia boutique as they were having a mini gathering with some of Clinique's VIP clients.  It wasn't hard to find a store such as Clinique as the place is huge and I love the bright interior at the SM MOA branch, did you know they have a training room PLUS a private room just in case you want to try the 3-step system but is a bit shy to be seen by public?  Ask the Clinique SA about it! :) 

Aside from VIP clients, there were bloggers who went for a quick makeover using ALL Clinique products.

Naris Up Day Keep 24 Hours Long Lasting Eyebrow Mascara (Shade 01) Review

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today, I'm sharing a review for a product not locally available so dear Philippine readers, don't get mad at me!  My brother bought me Naris Up Day keep 24 Hours Long Lasting Eyebrow Mascara via request and I believe there are so many of you who plans to visit Hong Kong either this year or the coming years, keep this product in mind if you love to color your brows!  This is a wonderful product to lighten up even dark brows! 

Did I just spoil the review?  I gushed too much huh?

Initial Thoughts: Zenutrients

It's almost my birthday!  Though getting a year older, I don't mind!  I'm honestly excited as I can't wait to celebrate my 35th birthday with Baby Kyle! :)  I can still remember how happy I was last year with the little bundle of joy inside my tummy as he excitedly moved inside as my family sang Happy Birthday to me!  Now, I can literally see him smile and clap on my special day! :)

Seriously, how excited I could get?  My birthday is not until Friday!  Yes it's on the 28th!  But please bear with me...that's how I am..perky! LOL

Today, I will be sharing my Zenutrients favorite!  Because of Sampleroom, I was able to try Zenutrients products which I possibly wouldn't try on my own!  Speaking from the bottom of my heart, not because I'm one of Sampleroom's ambassadors but because I highly believe in Trying before Buying!  So please head on to the Sampleroom website, earn points and grab samples!  The company is match made in heaven for bloggers like myself.

Back to Zenutrients!  *laughs*  How can my introduction get that long?

Weekend Food Trip at: Vikings Buffet Restaurant

Hi AMW friends!
Hope you're feeling great today!  I had a lovely Saturday and as you can check me out on Instagram (@AskMeWhats), you can see that I've done quite a lot of things in half a day!  *proud*

I also celebrated my birthday in advance with family #1 (Mr. AMW's Family) and there's more to go! The perks of being married, you have a HUGE family!  And I love it!

Speaking of food, finding a good restaurant to celebrate my birthday every year is a pain in the head (and wallet *lol*), you want to make sure everyone enjoys the food!  For me, a no-brainer birthday party venue would be a "buffet" restaurant!

So far, I'm not a fan of buffet restaurants as I don't want to stuff myself with food and get a stomachache after (yes, that's me being greedy!)  But early this year, our family celebrated New Years at Vikings, Macapagal Avenue and I was expecting the usual "buffet" restaurant wherein you just stuff your face with "so-so" food and not feel contented.

Vikings is different!  I actually enjoyed my experience!  To be honest, I wanted to enjoy it so much I didn't really take good photos of the food (plus the fact that we arrived late so there's not much food left on the buffet table!) 

Something New: L'Eau Jolie by Lolita Lempicka

I can never get enough of fragrance and I'm lying if I tell you I don't get excited every time I receive fragrances as press gift or from friends and family as gifts!  I can never get enough of them just like lipsticks!
  Just to share to you how much fragrance I own to date?  Well, imagine a big clothes hamper and I almost filled them all with bottles after bottles of scents that keeps me alive through the years!  (I don't usually store them in clothes hamper by the way, I had to put it there when I was moving out.)

And I still want more!  Sorry for the greediness *lol*  But there is something about perfume bottles that attracts me!  They attract me more than abs in men!  (Promise!) 

Imagine my "yelp" when I received my first Lolita Lempicka fragrance called L'Eau Jolie.  It is housed in an apple shape bottle and this bottle is definitely "display" worthy!

"The top notes are blackcurrant and nashi pear, sprinkled with violet leaf. A round bouquet then releases elegant notes of neroli, peony and peach blossom. The base notes: musk, cedar and sandalwood bring warmth to this subtle elixir, which does not overwhelm the senses, but delicately stirs them. Seduction is inevitable yet subtle." - L'Eau Jolie by Lolita Lempicka
