AMW Reviews: Vaseline Healthy White Instant Fair

Since it's Thursday, I'm doing a bit of a throwback Thursday post!  I can still remember the fun days Hannah, Ada and I had during our Vaseline Roadtrip of a Lifetime!  It was one of the major projects I've done in my blogging career!  I'm still very thankful to my Unilever family and Media Contacts for the opportunity.  If you have time to read my previous posts, click VASELINE ROADTRIP OF A LIFETIME.
Though it has been 4 years, I can proudly say that I still use Vaseline Healthy White SPF24 Triple Lightening Lotion and I even turned my sister into a believer.  (Review of the product HERE)  She buys this lotion and blames me for making her addicted to it! :)  I love you sis!

Fast forward to today, I saw a commercial on the newest Vaseline Healthy White Instant Fair Visible Fairness Lotion and I wasn't sold!  I originally thought this is the usual instant whitening product that makes you appear chalky, fake and texture is yucky!  Thanks to my Sampleroom Family for sending me samples OR else, I won't even dare purchase this as I'm afraid of looking like "human espasol"!

AMW Makeovers: Airbrush Bride

I usually advise my bridal clients that Traditional makeup nowadays can achieve the flawless look airbrush makeup can offer!  I am also confident enough that I have good makeup bases to help their makeup stay until removal!  Thanks to my past clients for always texting me after the event, I actually knew which product works for which particular skin type!  And yes, I get feedback that their makeup stays until removal!  (Thank God!) 

For today's client, she particularly requested for Airbrush Makeup and of course, her wish will always be my command!  If you think she looks familiar, well, I did her trial makeup a week before her wedding (read Trial Makeover post HERE)

Airbrush Bride: Angela
Skin type: Combination (Normal/Oily)
Request: Cover red spots and create natural-looking flawless skin.  
She also availed retouch makeup.

Something New: Wet n' Wild and Orly Products!

I recently got a cute package from my friends from Sprint Asia Beauty!  A little tidbit from me:  The owner of Sprint Asia Beauty is my schoolmate and I'm proud of her for venturing into this industry and they are carrying products that makeup mavens like myself go ga-ga for!

Example: Temptu, L.A. Colors, Wet n' Wild, Orly, Make-Up Designory, Beautyblender, VOV, Airstocking, Remington & Denco. 

I SUPPORT!!!

 I don't have the heart to open the cute packaging because it reminded me so much of "Aruba, Jamaica, oohh I wanna take you to Bermuda, Bahama...come on pretty momma!"  *le sigh*  The beautiful "sea sells seashells by the seashore"  I don't miss the intense heat but I definitely miss the fun and colors of summer!


Newest products from Wet n' Wild to take note of!

AMW Reviews: Dermal Collagen Essence Masks

Wow, I haven't reviewed any facial masks lately ever since I got pregnant and when Baby AMW was around!  I mean, who has the time right?  The moment he dozes off, I dozes off immediately with him as he could wake up anytime so I won't miss any opportunity to rest!

Now that he's 1, his sleeping pattern is more organized so I knew his sleeping schedule by heart and he sleeps the most soundly around 11:00pm-2:00am, that's when I sneak in my beauty routine!

I have been a My Beauty Diary mask user so when I got Dermal Masks to try, I put it a bit on the side as I can't separate myself from my favorite My Beauty Diary masks!  When I finished up all my masks, I told myself I have to try them as I've read a couple of raves about this brand!

Dermal masks are similar to other sheet masks you see.  You get 1 sheet per pack and you use it anywhere you want and you don't need to wash your face after!  

The difference with Dermal masks according to their product feature, you are to see the difference immediately even if you used it only once! 

Here are some of the variants I get to try ---
