L'Oreal Gather's the World's Most Beautiful Collection Star 2014 (Barely Lipsticks)

Everybody who is into makeup has probably been on a search for "the perfect nude lippie" at least once in their lifetime!  I have been in search for that "My Lips But Better" (MLBB) lippie so many times I can't keep track!

Out of the number of times I've searched, I went through several hits and misses and thankfully, there is one brand that gave this a serious thought and came up with Barely there lipsticks that suits ALL skin tones!  And the best part?  They have models to give us the "rough idea" on how the effect would be!

Introducing, L'Oreal Star Collection by Color Riche.  

Truth be told, the Color Riche line from L'Oreal deserves a standing ovation in terms of pigmentation, quality and price!  I've reviewed and mentioned this line so many times on my blog I won't give you the boring review anymore but instead, I'm sharing what the Star Collection has to offer!

Eureka Moment: Almost Nude

First things first, the book-like media kit isn't sold but this was packaged for bloggers and media.

AMW Cooks: Asparagus in Mushrooms and Ground Beef

Asparagus, what are other ways for me to cook them without the usual ground pork in soy sauce or oyster sauce?  Well, I've decided to change it into beef and added my favorite Enoki mushrooms for texture.

The recipe is very simple, here are the ingredients you need ---

AMW Reviews: Asus Zenfone 4 and 5

Seldom can you find a person NOT using smartphones nowadays!  We are definitely living in a world were we rely so much on technology!  Look at me for example!  The moment I wake up (before the little one does), I check my mail, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter page.  On days, I want to cook something exciting, I have my phone right beside me and I'll search on recipes!  If I need to go somewhere, I go online on WAZE to make sure I get traffic updates and of course, directions just in case I get lost due to reroutes!

The list could go on and on! 

No wonder mobile phone companies are coming with better (and more inexpensive) versions of the SmartPhones we love to depend on!  The brand I recently got to know is Asus and they are called ZenFones.

I was lucky enough to get 2 Zenfones to test!  Zenfone 4 and 5!

I originally call this a "His and Her" phone but after trying out both, I want to call these "HER AND HER" phone!  I want these 2!  Hahaha

Both ZenFones are powered by Intel Processor.  I may not be a "Tech Blogger" but I know a thing or 2 about phones and let me share to you how I find both phones.

AMW Reviews: Virginia Olsen Pure Organics Lip Creme (Kiss the Girl)

Lipsticks, who can honestly say they have enough?
I can't!  I always want more! 

As a makeup artist, I want to make sure I have a wide range of lipstick shades available for my clients to choose from!  That's my best reason to purchase more lipsticks! 

Recently, I got a lipstick from Virginia Olsen under their "Lip Creme" line.  The name lip creme sounds ultra moisturizing and perfect for dry-lips users like moi!  After using it for a week, here's my honest-to-goodness review on how I find this said product!

The shade I got to try is called: "Kiss the Girl".  Tell me if the song from Little Mermaid suddenly pops in your head after reading this shade name!  It does to me...ALL THE TIME!  EVERY USE!  

Virginia Olsen says ---

Virginia Olsen Pure Organics Lip Crème is formulated with all-natural ingredients which provide long lasting color and natural moisture that are safe to use even for those with delicate lips. It delivers natural pigments in a traditional lipstick shape, yet maintains its organic integrity.

Unboxing: BDJ Box (July 2014)

Hello!  If you have a "Blog" roll that you follow on a daily basis, you've probably seen a lot of Beauty Bloggers unboxing their July BDJ Box!  You may think "hohum" not another BDJ Box unboxing but hey!  This is seriously exciting for me, and I'm sure at some point in your life, you have received a gift and you get so excited to unbox or unwrap them as well!  

This box is no exception, any packages I get still give me the "high" and I guess that's how it is in life, we have to find the "balance" to keep us moving.  We have to find something that will excite us no matter how superficial it is!  :) And for me, the superficial side is receiving beauty-related stuff!  Because I like them, that's the reason why this Blog still exists after all these years :)

Just in case you're not updated, here's what's inside the BDJ July box!  What I like about BDJ Box is that they are environmental-friendly!  They've used their small boxes for quite sometime and I like it that they don't waste a single space inside!  And just when I thought: "How do they deal with big products/samples?"  In a blink of an eye, my queries were answered!  They created bigger boxes this month to house bigger samples and still didn't fail to put a smile on my face!

What to take a closer look on the brands included?
