Unboxing: Gamourbox's Flawless Beauty Box

Truth be told, I'm probably the world's slowest "Unboxing" person!  I guess I have my reasons..I'm a mom and it really takes time to take photos when you have a super active baby around who likes to touch all the products you hold (including the camera!)  And yes, I'm taking my own photos too (that explains the not so good shots) because Mr. AMW is a busy dad!  *hahaha*

Well, I'm sure you don't want to read more excuses from me and want me to jump right out and talk about Glamourbox's Flawless Beauty Box.

Truth be told, after my heart-pounding Beauties and Babies box , I don't know how non-moms would react receiving that box but I don't even want to think about what others would feel..all I know was that it was the best box ever!  If you're a mom, you'll understand why!  Everything for your baby is the best in this world!  

So when I received the Flawless Beauty box, before looking at the content, I was hoping for more makeup products, instead..the box isn't as full as before so I thought this is a let down.  But thankfully...it wasn't!

A quick overview of the products included in the box.  I immediately saw some "saviors" that made me love this box! *ahem* Ellana, *ahem* Ofra!

Smart Tips During Travel

Just for laughs...I thought of creating a short "comic strip" of us during our most recent travel in the US last March. 

I checked my email and saw a nice promo from Smart Communications called ALL-Day Surf Abroad.  I thought of sharing this to my fellow Smart subscribers who plan to travel and wanted to keep their friends updated through Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

The moment we landed San Francisco Airport, I went to purchase a US Sim Card immediately with internet plans.  The guy who picked us up immediately exclaimed to me that I shouldn't purchase one because it is double the price as compared to purchasing it in the city.  As much as I would love to save up, who can wait until they get into the city and wait until the next day (as I arrived midnight) to let my family know I'm safe through Whatsapp?  NOT ME!

And since I get a lot of queries on how I deal with internet connection when I travel, well here's the best solution so you don't have to worry about bill shock.

Initial Thoughts: Olay Aquaction line

My fellow Bloggers would immediately point at me when you want someone who has dry skin.  Yes, I am the dry-skinned Blogger who literally has to slather my face with hydrating moisturizer night and day!

When I received Olay Aquaction line, I usually set skincare products aside as I am not the type who changes my skincare regimen in an instant.  But after reading the product description from the box...and the mere fact the name is called AQUACTION, I knew I had to give it a try.

And just recently, I was telling my fellow blogger friend Angela how my skin isn't as dry anymore.  I was telling her how much stress I'm getting and it must be the stress that's secreting more sebum ... I wish!  I realized...it was the Olay Aquaction line and mind you, I only used it for a couple of days!  

This is not a complete review but an initial thought post just in case you're interested to know if "PUMP PUMP BOUNCY SKIN" is indeed possible!

I got to try 3 out of 5 products from Aquaction ---

Olay Aquaction Intensive Treatment Mask

Olay Aquaction Hydration Gel

Olay Aquaction Sleeping Mask

AMW & TFC Gives: Clothing GCs!

Hi AMW Friends!
Today, I will be sharing something exciting!  Well...as you can see, I am showcasing 5 AMW with 5 different outfits I wore on various occasions!  There is ONE common denominator though.....they look girly, classy and oh-so-comfortable!

When I was asked to help spread the love about The Flower Collection, I immediately said yes because the brand is closet o my heart. I didn't tell them about it but I actually bought from The Flower Collection way back when I was still in college working my way to the corporate world!  Yes, I was graduating then when I've decided to spend some of my hard-earned "summer job money" to upgrade my wardrobe to look more professional when I enter the world of Airline Industry.  Yes, I used to work at Vietnam Airlines (practicum) and China Airlines! 

To be honest, I am one of those shoppers who go by "what's in" and looking at my closet, I need more classic pieces that screams "Nikki" and nothing beats a "NIKKI OUTFIT" when it's bright, girly and printed with florals or dots!

Because I was too busy to visit their store, or any other stores in general, the queen of Online Shopping went to their website and I find their website very friendly even for first-time online shoppers.  The size chart is a huge help and I managed to pick the right size for me!  FYI: All the outfit I got fits me perfectly!  Am I good or am I great? :P
