AMW Reviews: Sleek Full Fat Lash Mascara

When you mention SLEEK Makeup to me, there will always be a bit of "fluttery" stomach as this brand is close to my heart!

Why?  Well, my first SLEEK product was an Eyeshadow Palette which was a "winning" from a blog contest I joined years ago (Thanks Cosmetic Candy)   The palette traveled from the opposite side of the world and the trip was worth it!  From then on, I highly recomend Sleep Eyeshadows as they are highly pigmented and inexpensive.

When Smile brought in Sleek Products, I was ecstatic as I get to try more of Sleek products and so far, they didn't fail my strict taste!  And for the first time, I got their mascara and I gave it a road test immediately! 

Will this be the first SLEEK product to fail my high expectations?  Read more...

AMW Reviews: Kiehl's Actively Correcting and Beautifying BB Cream

I know, not another BB Cream review right?  I mean seriously, why would a company even think about creating BB creams when we're off to CC creams and DD creams now?

Kiehl's definitely do not jump into the BB cream bandwagon right away, based on research, the 161-year old skincare company doesn't always aim for first.  According to the Vice President of Global Education Ms. Cammie Cannella: "...being first in a category is not our focus, we choose to deliver real benefits in formulas that take innovation to the next level..." 

Kiehl's definitely got my respect on that!  BB creams are definitely easy to make yet it can also easily ruin your skin!  So I'm glad to company went for customers' safety.

The tube is surprisingly small, with only 30ml of a product, I believe I will finish this up in a month or 2 of daily use.

AMW Wears: EazyFashion Gypsy Off-Shoulder Dress

I love dresses that are comfortable because I move around a lot!  2 weeks ago, I had a full day of events and meetings!  I don't want to look too made up on a meeting yet I don't want to look too casual for events!  The secret?  I wear my EazyFashion Gypsy Off-Shoulder Dress which works for both casual and cocktails.  During informal meetings, I paired this dress with my very comfortable Elements Slippers (Instagram: ElementsPhilippines)
