SanFo Travel Report: At St. Regis Hotel

Hi everyone!  I'm here in San Francisco safe and sound!  Guess what?  I survived long haul flight with first-time traveler Baby AMW!  Let me tell you, it's one of the most challenging situation we put ourselves into and I'll share a separate post about my experience on traveling with a baby!  I'm sure some of you are experts but I'll definitely share some of my thoughts and tips on how I survived ours! 

At 9:30pm Manila Time, 6:30am San Francisco time, I'm wide awake (not of choice) as Baby AMW's body clock is still from back home so he's wide awake leaving us parents no choice but to forget about jetlag! :)

Now let's talk about St. Regis Hotel were Benefit Cosmetics booked us in!  Before coming to the hotel, I roughly had an idea on how the hotel looks like (keep in mind I"m a researcher! :P) 

Got a welcome bear and teething ring from the nice and pretty girl from the Reception.  Kyle was shy..yet very happy!

What we immediately see upon entering the room.  Very modern interiors.

Uh-Oh! I have a Subpoena!

Nothing serious, you may calm down!
Today, after an early makeup gig, I'm off to San Francisco USA tonight!  Thanks to Benefit Cosmetics Philippines for sending me the Subpoena under the Penalty of Beauty Law!  

I will visit the Benefit Headquarter and meet other beauties worldwide!  Aside from that, they are launching something exciting for the brand!  I can't wait to share to you what the brand has in store for us Filipinos!

Of course, I cannot leave with Mr. AMW and Baby AMW, yes guys, I'm taking them with me so I pray Baby Kyle will be at his best behavior!  I'm confident he will have the time of his life though I can't promise if he'll remember everything!  *laughs*  No matter how busy I am, I made sure to research on some of the "must-see" spots in San Francisco...

Unboxing: BDJ Box March 2014 (Secrets of Spy Gal)

At this point, you probably know I did a couple of workshops with Benefit Cosmetics Philippines and think I have all the Benefit Products I need --- WRONG! 

Even way before Benefit Cosmetics arrived our shores, I've always been a fan of the brand, the packaging and the quality of their products.  I've bought a couple during my trips abroad and even have my dear friend Gracie sent me some all the way from UK!  But there can never be enough Benefit products for makeup lovers like me!  Yes, I played with their products so many times during workshops and shoots, I probably know 3/4 of their products (or more) by heart!   But upon receiving BDJ Box March Edition, I made a loud squeak!  Yes, I can't get enough of their products!  Call me greedy, but I want them as I use them both on myself and clients!

This box is the lightest subscription box I received to date but mind you, the contents are Benefit's heavyweight champions! :)

AMW x Dermclinic Gives: Love the Skin You Are In with Dermclinic GCs!

Hi AMW Friends!
Aside from loving the Friday Madness, Friday is the best time to share another giveaway!  Do I hear "Yehey?"  I caannn'ttt heeaaaarrrr yoooouuuu!!!!

Thanks to our friends from Dermclinic for being so supportive of my blog as they are willing to give 2 GCs for 2 lucky AMW readers to try!  I can't contain my excitement!  If you were able to attend to ANY of my makeup workshops, I always start by talking about skincare, why?  Well, a healthy and well-cared skin do not need much makeup!  Can you imagine how easy life is to cut your makeup time in half because your skin radiates the natural glow?  

Less Makeup is More on a Good Skin Day :)

BUT, with our environment, it is very difficult to keep our skin looking fresh and healthy without the help of skin care products and facials.  I am one STRONG believer of having your skin taken care by a dermatologist or professional skin care clinic makes a WHOLE difference!  Way back when I was working in China, I used to have regular facials on a weekly basis and I tell you, my skin was glowing!   

AMW Reports: Colour Collection Hot Hues Event

When I got an invite from my SampleRoom Family, I can't say no!  Especially if the event is about Hot Hues from Colour Collection!  I have tried Colour Collection lipsticks in the past and they are indeed very promising!  So I can't wait to share to you guys their newest luscious Lip colors perfect for summer!

The event was held at Holiday Inn, Makati.  A talented girl painting using lipsticks!
