Initial Thoughts: Forever Living Aloe Hand and Face Soap

Have you heard about Forever Living?
I did, specifically the ALOE line almost a decade ago when I was having trouble with my bowel movement (okay, that's too much information but that's the real story!) :P  

So my good friend Jals recommended me this Aloe Vera Gel drink which I find quite difficult to ingest (don't mind me, I'm iffy like that!)  but it did it's job making my life easier!  :P  I only consumed a quarter of it and didn't repurchase not because it didn't work but it is because I don't need it after!  

Fast forward to today, I was sent Aloe Hand and Face Soap by an AMW reader and I immediately put this inside my bathroom and gave this a "constant" use for the past weeks! 

Aloe Hand & Face Soap Php656.32

Here's the overview of the product taken from their US site ---

Aloe Hand & Face Soap is a rich, pearlescent, moisturizing hand and face cleanser with a generous amount of aloe. It creates a luxurious lather, leaving the skin feeling clean, smooth and silky, while minimizing the irritations experienced with some bar soaps. Its mild formula also makes Aloe Hand & Face Soap an ideal shampoo for children and adults alike.

Biodegradable, pH-balanced and non-irritating, it is mild enough for daily facial, hand, hair or body cleansing, and is suitable for those with sensitive skin.

• Mild formula
• Moisturizing cleanser
• Mild and non-irritating
• Pump-action dispenser

Initial Thoughts: Bobbi Brown Art Stick

As soon as I got the newest "Art Stick" from Bobbi Brown PH, I gave an immediate "sigh" and raised my arm to surrender!  I'm surely gonna lose this battle!  Just the sight of this jumbo wooden pencil, I'm probably saying "bye bye" to this and give it to someone who has better (a.k.a. more moisturized lips) than I do!

But after reading about the inspiration behind the Art Sticks (note: I love reading Bobbi Brown's inspiration on each makeup line she creates!) I was actually surprised seeing the 2 adjectives --- creamy and moisturizing.  They must be kidding me!

AMW Reports: MYOH 2014

I have only a total of 2 pairs of Havaianas, very simple baby pink color and the recent one which I got from Dove's First Summit in white.  Both are simple yet girly and I wear both a lot!  Though just a pair of slippers, they are super comfortable and I wouldn't mind adding more "Havis" in my collection!

When I got an invite to join Make Your Own Havaianas 2014 (MYOH2014), I made sure not to miss this event!  Though this is MYOH's 8th year, this is my first time to join the MYOH craze so I'm glad I was with blogger friend Lush Angel on this!

This year, Havaianas returned to its Brazilian roots as they complement pins with Brazilian Vibe!

AMW x Burt's Bees Gives: Burt's Bees Lip Glosses

Happy Tuesday AMW friends!

I'm sharing my current lip gloss love from Burt's Bees!  Burt's Bees has always been known for their Hand Salve, Foot Creme and Lipbalms!  But lip glosses?  I just knew about them late last year and I'm a happy camper as these glosses are lightweight, super non-sticky and they actually come in variety of shades!  They're not highly pigmented but the glosses give a good "oomph" of color perfect for this season!
