Happy Skin Eye Am Here To Stay 24H Gel Pencil Auto Liner Review

Dear AMW friends!
How was your long weekend? (for Philippine Readers) and weekend for the rest of the world?  I had quite a relaxing holiday and spent most of my time with the family!  And of course, I also spent most of my time testing new products I got and one of them is from Happy Skin.

Happy Skin Eye Am Here To Stay is a 24H Gel Pencil eyeliner which sounds promising when I attended the Happy Skin Summer Collection Launch last April 2. Seriously, is there such thing as an eyeliner pencil that STAYS?  You tell me! 

As much as I would love to try their black pencil liner, I got Chic Brown and Peppermint to test.  And guess what I did to really test this liner?  I used both liners on #KyleNash1stBirthdayParty were stress level is really high!  I used a gel liner on my upper lashline and used Eye Am Here to Stay Chic Brown on lower lashline and Peppermint on the waterline.  Was I nervous about Panda eyes?  YOU BET!  I had to ask Mr. AMW several times on how my liner looks when no one was watching!

Something New: Estee Lauder Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion

Estee Lauder, one of the few brands that works for my skin, came up with Micro Essence Skin Activating Treatment Lotion, sounds great right?  But seriously, what is a lotion?  What does it do for our skin and what's the difference with serums and creams?

Thankfully, there was a Q&A with Dr. Nadine Pernodet, Ph D., Executive Director of Skin Biology, Research & Development from The Estee Lauder Companies that can help clarify skin-related questions that has been bugging YOU and ME.

Something New: Elizabeth Arden, You've Done It Again!

It's True!
Elizabeth Arden, the brand, is very sentimental to me as I owned my first ever "expensive" perfume highschool days and it is TRUE LOVE by Elizabeth Arden.  The scent is discontinued (I don't understand why) but I purchased quite a lot of backups in HK as that is how loyal I am!  (Isn't Mr. AMW Lucky??? teeeheee)

When I got Untold, I immediately raised an eyebrow thinking it won't ever be good enough for my favorite True Love scent...I mean seriously, who can top TRUE LOVE?  ---> *laughs*  I'm getting a bit too personal here!  :P

 

Truthfully, I left this scent inside a paperbag under my table and almost forgot about it!  When I was off to check in a hotel before Kyle's first birthday party, I panicked as most of my fragrances are still in my old home, so I grabbed Untold and used it on the day of my son's special day!
