AMW Reports: Happy Skin Summer Collection 2014

What do girls who love makeup do on a very hot day?
Well, they stay on top of the building where wind is strong and carry huge sized version of their favorite makeup!  

Just like we did!

Thanks to Happy Skin for reminding me why I went into makeup artistry and why makeup should really be fun! 

Yesterday, I've attended Happy Skin's Summer Collection launch!  It was a shame I had to leave early but I'm glad to be able to drop by and take a peek on their newest limited edition makeup this summer!  I'm sure a lot of you are excited to know what Happy Skin has in store for us after their successful launch five months ago and I am proud to say, the brand has grown so big in such short span of time!  Thanks to Jacque Yuengtian-Gutierrez and Rissa Mananquil-Trillo for creating skin-loving products perfect for us Pinays.

Let me give you a quick tour on my short yet sweet island hopping experience at 71 Gramercy....

Eureka Moment: My Hair Tools Storage

Happy Humpy Day!

Do you miss my Eureka Moment posts?  Well if you don't, I do!  I am just too busy to go out so I'm not really aware on what's happening in this world!  The cool things that make our lives easier, and let's not forget those functional products meant for organizing...ahhh..I just peed myself out of excitement!  (Eeeww!  That's gross!)  

Let's talk about our hair tools!  I'm not sure how much hair tools you own but I do own quite a number!  I may use it as an excuse for "work" but I have been "collecting" hair tools even before I started doing hairstyling for clients!  So yes, it is an obsession!  But this obsession comes with a price.... monetary...and CLUTTER! 

After years of search, I found a way to keep my hair tools safe, clean and out from other people's eyesight! 

 EUREKA MOMENT!

I'm referring to the 2 taupe colored baskets with lid on the right hand side of the photo.

I found these baskets bundled in 2 at local Ace Hardware stores.  I always see them in ALL Ace Hardware stores and I've been meaning to purchase them but don't know how to put them in use!  Because I obviously wanted them so much, I suddenly came up with an awesome plan to use these baskets to store my hair tools!

By the way, the baskets come in 3 shades ---  Cream, Taupe and Dark Brown!  They also come in 2 sizes, the ones I have on photo are the bigger ones.

Check out how I use them ---

AMW Reviews: Benefit Lolli Tint

Now I have colds!  My throat is feeling a tad bit better over the weekend but I have stuffy nose today!
What lovely news to share eh?  Don't worry, I'm doing fine!  After going through 5 months of morning sickness and giving birth --- I'm a SUPERGIRL!  I can survive anything!  *laughs*

I guess all of us have to hold on to something to give us strength each day, I know how hard it is to go through our mini challenges without a support system!  So start grabbing your pen and pencil and list down the people you love as you drink you favorite cup of coffee or tea....you'll understand why you should stay strong --- for the people you love and who loves you back!

Now I'm in a jolly --- lolli mood today!  Why?  I'm sharing a review on Benefit's FIRST WATERPROOF tint!  Say what?  Waterproof?  Aren't they all waterproof?  Gotcha!  I had the same reaction when I was told the other tints you love aren't waterproof!  Seriously?  They seem like it!  

I've used Lolli Tint a week before my US trip, during my US trip and after my US trip.  This product is tested on cool, hot and very hot weather!

Lolli Tint is housed in the same packaging as other cheek tints from Benefit

AMW Reviews: Colour Collection Hot Kiss Lipsticks

Happy Monday!
Thank God for weekends!  I was able to rest for both Saturday and Sunday so I'm finally getting a tad bit better.  To those who didn't know, well I got sick after our US trip.  It was probably fatigued, lack of sleep plus the sudden change of weather that caused my crazy allergies, cough and colds to pop out!  Even Mr. AMW and Baby AMW got sick too!  

Now I'm back, and I'm ready to rumble!  I'm looking forward for this week as I'll be back attending some events that I'm excited about!  I'll share more about it soon!  As for today, I will be sharing my 2 newest Colour Collection lipsticks which I got during the Colour Collection Hot Hues Event.

Weekend Food Trip at: Arby's Roast Beef Sandwich, LA

Hi AMW Friends!
Happy Sunday!  I spent my weekend staying at home as I have cough, sore throat and a bit of fever!  Since I'm stuck at home, I might as well share my lovely food experiences in the US!  I can't believe it has been a week that I'm back!  I really missed my friends and family in the US!

Today, I will be sharing my favorite food chain in the US for now!  I haven't tried a lot but Arby's definitely went up to my top favorite restaurant chain!  When we drove by Arby's and I saw a huge "Roast Beef Sandwich" sign, in my head, I was thinking: "Not again!"  Don't get me wrong, I'm not being ungrateful but I'm really just too tired to eat and all I need is a good night sleep!

As soon as we got in the restaurant, I can't believe a burger chain could have THIS MUCH food selection!
