Initial Thoughts: Virginia Olsen Products

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
Today, I will talk about a mineral makeup brand called Virginia Olsen Minerals.  The brand isn't new to me as I heard about it for quite some time but it is only now I get to try the products!  I'm sure there are loyal V.O. Minerals users out there so do share to me your favorite items for me to check it out okay?

Here are my Virginia Olsen Minerals Loot!  I'm most excited to try their Eye Prime (one of the newest addition to their product line) and their HD Mineral Mattifying Base.  But of course, after reading raves about their eyeshadows, I  now understand why they are well-loved!

Initial thoughts on ---

• HD Mineral Mattifying Base
• Eye Prime
• Mineral Eye Shadows in Lilac and Goldstone
• Pure Organic Lip Glosses in 01 and 03

Happy Father's Day and Thanks Le Coeur de France

Back when I still work in a "visible" office at Ortigas.  I used to walk to Shangri-la Mall before I go home to buy something for my family!  It always have to be food! 

With my not-so-big salary, I told myself I don't have to break the bank just to make my family happy!  One of my favorite to-go-to take out place is Le Coeur de France!  They usually have certain percentage off on breads and pastries so it was a smart move for me to show how much I love and appreciate my family!  Yes, we weren't that vocal back then so I use food to show how much I love them!

When I received a "bread basket" from Le Coeur de France just in time for Father's Day celebration, it puts a huge smile on my face as I have been doing this for YEARS (up until present).

With my favorite bread from Le Coeur de France!  Oh....perfect with their hot cup of coffee!

AMW Reports: The Launch of Banana Republic's WildBlue Noir and WildBloom Rouge Fragrances

I attended an event with my best half last Wednesday and we got home with fun memories, amazing scents and a portrait of us to celebrate our forever HIS and HER!

Thanks to Banana Republic Philippines for inviting me and Mr. AMW to Vask to take a peek and "sniff" at Banana Republic's newest fragrances this season ---

Wildbloom Rouge for women and Wildblue Noir for men

Something New: Kiehl's Facial Fuel "Heavy Lifting" Moisturizer for Men

Just in time for Father's Day!  Kiehl's developed a product made specially for men to solve their skincare needs!  Just like my dad who likes simple, easy to understand and use product, Kiehl's came up with "Heavy Lifting" firming, Lifting and Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer which is so easy to use I don't need to explain to my dad how to use it!

Available in the market with a suggested retail price of Php 2,250.00. 

I'm not sure about your dad but my dad still looks young at the age of 79!  Genes play a big part but he also takes care of his skin!  Thinking about his room and his very simple "beauty regimen" that consists of hair gel, a cream and his favorite fragrance, I understand how men look for ONE product that is easy to use and understand!

AMW Wears: 1988 A.D. Scarf

Happy Friday AMW friends!

I recently got a nice "black box" with a gold imprint 1988 A.D.  It took me awhile to realize it was a gift from the generous folks from 1988 A.D. as I don't remember ordering a scarf and slim tie.

It was a gift worth receiving as I got it on Mother's Day!  I'm posting it today as this is also perfect for Father's Day if you have no idea what to give to the man of your life!(Referring to the slim tie, not the scarf! lol)

I immediately took out the scarf for a spin and I get compliments because of its' color and quality!
 

But let's talk about 1988 A.D. first...
