AMW Reviews: Flawless Face and Body Clinic

Good day everyone! 

Are you surprised to see a "facial" review on my blog today?  Well, I'm surprised myself!  I've been very vocal in telling everyone how I try to veer away from trying out facials as I have not-so-good experiences in the past (pre-Blogging days).  I may be a loyal facial customer during my work days in China but things have changed when I returned back to the Philippines.

I have been offered free facials, body services here and there for the past 5 years, but you can only count the times I actually tried them!  I'm a sissy when it comes to my skin!  I am so afraid of skin breakouts or irritations I often say "NO" right away.

But what made me say YES to a Flawless service?  Not because it was offered to me for free but because I was starting to see breakouts here and there for the past few weeks!  After I stopped breastfeeding, I'm probably just waiting for my "monthly period" to happen after 2 years!  Pimples were sprouting here and there and after trying to "wait" for them to disappear (which didn't happen overtime), I've decided to give Flawless facial a try!

Something New: Coach LOVE Eau Blush

Celebrating the first signs of love....

Check out my "kilig" face and I still have that face 7 years after marriage, 11 years after gf/bf relationship.

The heart knows before you do. That wondrous hint of a feeling- that gentle swell of emotion. Cheeks flushing with warmth, soft touches, shy smiles. The bloom of new love and the intimate promise of what’s to come. ---- description from the new Coach Love Eau Blush and I can't help but reminisce how I knew Mr. AMW is my FIRST and LAST love.

Yes, it was exactly the same feelings as described by the scent.

AMW Makeovers: Trial Makeup For Soon-To-Be-Bride

Happy Tuesday AMW friends!

I thought having a baby would stop me from doing what I love most, makeovers! 

Thankfully, I have clients who are very understanding!  I got a call for a trial makeup and it was a Saturday where no one can look after my baby!  So off I went with Baby AMW and thankfully, he was such an angel that day (and most days) he behaved while mommy worked! 

Meet soon-to-be-bride A, A is not used to putting on makeup so I was very particular in making sure she's very comfortable on every step.  I also explained to her that Bridal makeup is a bit tricky, eventhough she wanted to look very natural (no makeup look), her face will definitely be more made up than the usual daily makeup routine due to flash photography, extreme sunlight on that very special day.

Here's my take on makeup that make her look more vibrant (aka IN LOVE) yet she still looks like herself!

Client Skin: Combination (Dry/Normal)
Request: Natural makeup

New Product Alert! The Maybelline ColorSensational Pink Alert

I used to remember going "ga-ga" over finding the perfect pink lipstick that celebrities were wearing several years ago before the crazed MAC Pink Nouveau!  I told myself I will find the perfect "pink" lipstick shade that won't cost an arm and leg and there I was at a Maybelline counter swatching on different PINK lipsticks I could find!  And you thought it'll take me hours?  You're wrong!  There was around 1 or max 2 PINK lipsticks and unfortunately, they weren't even close to the pink lipstick shade that I want!

Who would've thought Maybelline took this "PINK LIPSTICK CRAZE" seriously and created a range for the LOVE of PINK!

That's PINK ALERT by ColorSensational

And the best part?  You won't hear reasons of not wearing pink because you look sick on them!  They created shades made specically for different skin tones (from warm, cool and neutral)!

And I got all 4!!! Perfect for makeup artists like me as I definitely have loads of request from clients for pink lippie and I have 1 for every girl!
