AMW Reviews: Ellana Pressed Mineral Blush Duo (Bunny/Ecstacy)

One pick-me-upper makeup item for me is a blush!  I can literally go from blah to semi-blah *lol*!  Seriously, no matter how stressed I look, a simple step of blush application makes my face appear more vibrant, alive and I actually feel a tad bit better!  So even when staying at home, cooking, taking care of Kyle, I actually apply a pop of color on my cheeks even without foundation!  And sometimes, Mr. AMW would say: "Wow, rosy cheeks ka ha!"  And I just secretly smile!  (Oh no, secret revealed!)

Do you do the same?  Or ako lang?  Hahaha

Back to one of the newest Blush Duo I've tried from a local brand that I love Ellana Minerals, it is a pressed mineral blush and it comes with 2 shades!  Bunny and Ecstacy is actually meant for blushing and contouring but of course, you can find many ways to use them!

Weekend Food Trip at: Ramen Nagi, SM MOA

It was late afternoon when we weren't that hungry but wanted to try Ramen Nagi just because there wasn't a lot of people inside....

 

Upon seeing the menu of Ramen Nagi located at SM Mall of Asia, I was ecstatic!  

Some of you may complain that there isn't much choices to choose from!  For the AMW household?  It's wonderful news!  Why?  Hubby and I tend to take such a long time choosing our food and we always like to argue on who needs to do the ordering!  I always ended up doing so as he's very indecisive when it comes to food!  (Sorry sweetie, it is true!)

It was an impossibly quick decision to go for Original King (Butao).  I know Black King (Kuroo) is a food bloggers' favorite but yes, we'll start with the basic.

Just when we thought we only need to sit prettily to wait for our Ramen.  TADAH!  More choices to make!  *rolls eyes* WHYYYyyyyyyyYYY?????

So yeah, we ticked on the basics!  Went for NORMAL on everything!  Yes, for once...let's go normal! *laughs* Pun intended!

I Wonder: How Connected Are You?

Since I recently talked about my first ever Blog Stint as a Vaseline Girl 4 years ago, let me talk about technology back then and how I wish I was THIS connected those times.

We went for a week long Roadtrip at Laoag, Vigan and Baguio and my phone wasn't internet ready back then...heck!  I was using a Nokia phone!  All we have with us is a laptop and a Smart Bro Prepaid Internet. 

It was difficult as we were quite blind on what's happening with our subscription package or account information.  After seeing this commercial, I went..heck!  This should be available 4 years ago, but again, I don't have hi-tech phone back then so all I can say is..lucky you today!

And here's what I want to know,
How connected are you today as compared to (say) 5 years ago?


Me, I literally have my phones, ipad, laptop all connected so I'm online 24/7!  Looking back, I can't believe how simple my life was but thinking about it, I may be busier than 5 years ago but I'm happy to be connected to my brother and friends who are overseas via Viber or WhatsAPP!

AMW Bulletin: Veloci Watches

I'm a watch girl!
I was originally a watch girl before I turned into a clothes, shoes and bag girl!
Mr. AMW can attest to that as he's the major contributor to my watch collection!  Also my dear Brother AMW!  Awww, I'm really lucky to have such generous family!

And just because I don't blog much about watches doesn't mean I'm not in-the-know about them!  I recently heard and read about the new Italian-inspired Veloci watches from fellow bloggers and I can't help but salivate on some of my favorite pieces!  Hello paycheck..Goodbye paycheck!

 Veloci Aeronaute

"designed for the daredevils"

A unisex watch!  I can imagine Mr. AMW wearing this strap and he'll look great on it! 

Lipstick of the Day: MAC Lipstick in Please Me

It's Friday!  I'm definitely looking forward for a productive weekend!   I can't believe I'm saying this but since becoming a mom, I don't think I have any day off and it is so true when they say, your parents devote all their time and effort to raise you and that's unconditional love!  *sniff* Mommy, daddy, I LOVE YOU!!!

Now back to a superficial topic before I blab more sentimental stuff!  

Lipstick!  I've had MAC Please Me for quite some time and I can't believe I didn't blog about this!  I didn't even take a product shot and used it right away upon purchase!  Silly me!  I guess there are times I just want to enjoy being a consumer and forget about being a blogger!  So yes, this is how Please Me looks on me! :D

Do you like it?
Well, I quite like it!  See just how much I've used?
