AMW Reviews: L'Oreal Faux Cils Papillon Waterproof Mascara

When it comes to drugstore mascaras, I always go for Maybelline!  Please say "me too!" if you agree!

It doesn't matter though that L'Oreal and Maybelline comes from the same family but still, I always choose the latter because it never fails to give me the long and thick lashes I want!  (Coming from someone who has non-existent lashes).

When I received a unique mascara from L'Oreal, I call it unique because it may be in the usual silver colored mascara tube but the print screams "I'm unique!  Look at me!"  And oh, let's not forget the name of this mascara, I have this feeling I won't every pronounce it correctly!  

Try it yourself: Faux Cils Papillon!  I may not know a lot of French words but I understand Faux means "fake" so using my unique IQ :P  I know this mascara is telling me that it will give me a "False Lashes effect".  Am I right?

No choice, you have to agree I'm always right!  *winks*
And yes, Faux Cils Papillon means False Lash Butterfly.
Yes, I speak French...those 3 words mentioned above!  :P 


L'Oreal says ---
Our number one mascara from Europe is here.
Open your eyes.  Create big, bold butterfly lashes everyday!

AMW Reports: Ipanema Opens Shop in Rustan's Makati

Ipanema, I have 3 pairs of Ipanema sandals for the longest time and they're still alive and kicking until this very moment!  That proves how durable their footwear are!

The last Ipanema event I attended was year 2010 (has it been that long?) Feel free to read my report HERE and so far, I haven't seen or heard much about the brand until recently.  They are finally opening a shop in Rustan's Makati!  Yay!  And to make this post even better, I have finally seen collection perfect for the "fashionistas".

According to Managing Director of ELRO Corporation Mr. Patxi Elizalde: "At Ipanema, our footwear is designed to complement your daily ensemble 0 they look good and functional whether you're walking on the beach or the city."

I agree!

Happy Skin Feeling Scupltacular Face Contour Kit Review

Happy Tuesday!  I will be reviewing one of the most requested Happy Skin product to review...the Happy Skin Feeling Scupltacular Face Contour Kit!  Although the contour and highlighting product isn't what I normally reach out on a daily basis, this is one makeup product I've taken so much time to really look into!  Why?  They are the ultimate secret for photoshoots and weddings!  I've tried various contour and highlight powders and I swear, I still haven't found the ONE that works for most skin tones.

My ultimate favorite, before trying out Happy Skin is the one from Stila called Stila Contouring Trio, clients probably seen me reached out to this kit so many times and I really have to look for a replacement since this particular trio has been discontinued.

And here comes Feeling Scupltcaular!

The kit comes with a contour and highlight powder, the exact same pan size as the Stila one which would probably last you...at least a year!

I'm a Matrix Girl + Giveaway!

CONGRATULATIONS TO --- Ms. Nadine Diamante!!!

After I gave birth to Kyle, I never thought I would immediately get projects because seriously, who in the world would get someone who looked "Hagardo Versoza"?  (Sorry international readers, just a funny Tagalog way of saying "stressed")

Thankfully, my Matrix Family didn't think so!  They just probably took one good look at me and say: "She definitely needs a new hair color!"  True enough, this was the first ever hair coloring treatment I've done after learning I was pregnant!  And it has been almost 2 full years of messy long regrowth!

The shoot was fun and....super fun!  We went to the L'Oreal Academie to have our hair color treatment and for the first time in my life, I've finally decided to go for highlights!  They call it the Dual Colors Service using Wonder.Brown Gold and Wonder Light Gold! 

And here's the outcome of my hair and the shoot itself!  Thanks to Jim Ryan Ros for my makeup!

 

Up until this very day, I still have beautiful highlights because I've taken care of my hair using Matrix Biolage products for color-treated hair!  Though regrowth is quite long and though a Matrix Brand Ambassador, it doesn't change the fact that I'm still a very busy mom who juggles work, blogging, make-up gigs, make-up workshops, wife duties, etc...!  So please, don't judge my not-so-pretty hair color anymore but I'm definitely going back for my next color treatment!  

And because I am proud and happy to be part of Matrix's Family, I am sharing my joy and happiness via simple giveaway!  I was sent some Biolage products to use and I've found my favorites!  

The Matrix Color Bloom Masque which is meant to protect the radiance of Color-Treated Hair and the newest Biolage Exquisite Oil which I love to apply on my hair after every shower as it makes my hair soft, silky and the added bonus?  Smells so good!

And yes, I'm giving 2 of these products to ONE LUCKY AMW READER :D

Weekend Food Delivery at: Greenwich

Upon seeing the commercial of Greenwich Pizza Thins, I told myself: "I got to have that!"  

I have always been a fan of thin crust pizza and I want them super crunchy and have a cracking sound on EACH bite!

I don't know about you, but thin crust pizzas out there aren't "thin" enough for me!  I'm looking for that particular "almost cracker" like think texture and of course, I am definitely looking for that crunchy bite!  

Then I finally got to try it! 

The newest Greenwich Pizza Thins definitely have that flavorful taste like other Greenwich pizzas, but I personally think because of it's super thin crust, you appreciate more of the aroma, the taste and texture bite after bite.
