AMW Reviews: Estee Lauder Pure Color Stay-On Shadow Paint (Halo)

Happy Monday AMW friends!
I had a wonderful busy weekend!  How was yours?
Today, I will be sharing a paint shadow from Estee Lauder.  I haven't really explored much on the eyes for months now as I've been very comfortable with whatever I have!  Urban Decay Primer Potion has always been my number 1 eye primer while it's inexpensive counterpart is still Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer.

As for cream shadow base, I have my favorite MAC paintpots, Bobbi Brown Cream Shadows and a couple of shadow pencils!  Who would've thought after exploring Rustan's, I saw a tiny wonder from Estee Lauder counter?


Estee Lauder Pure Color Stay-On Shadow Paint
Shade: Halo
I always prefer to try natural colored paints as they are easier to work with especially for starters!



Estee Lauder says ---
Go from smoky to wildly intense with non-stop shadows lit with shimmer. Pure pigments in a creamy shadow. Light-emitting dimensional pearls create shimmer to high-metallic finishes. Finger paint it onto lids. Glides on quickly, wears infinitely—all day. 12-hour wear. Crease-free. Won’t fade.

Happy Mother's Day Mama!

Dear Ma,
Happy Mother's Day!
I have always known how difficult it is to be on your shoes!  Raising 4 of us without "yaya", taking care of grandpa and grandma.  You did all the cooking, dishwashing, ironing and a whole lot more without a single complaint from you....I knew back then I had a wonderful mom.

But now that I'm also a mom, I realized....you are not only a wonderful mom but you are an angel sent from God!  The dedication, limitless love and support that you've given us made me into the person that I am now.

Ma, God knows how good of a person you are that's why He gave you second life.  Thanks to Him I have more chances to let you know how much I love and appreciate you!

Mommy AMW and AMW with 2 month old Baby AMW
Happy Mother's Day mama and to all the wonderful moms out there!
Don't miss the chance to let them know how much you love them!

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!
