AMW Reviews: Snoe's SABStance Blushes in X6 Faith and X8 Love

Happy Monday AMW friends!  Today, I will be sharing 2 blushes that's included in my collection.  I am so proud to share about this because this blush line is a collaboration between SNOE and my dear makeup artist and blogger friend Sabs Hernandez.  

Sabs has been "up there" in the makeup industry, I've read her names in various glossies and she has made her mark in her various works!  That is why I am not surprised she finally collaborated with a brand and truth be told....if you have a makeup artist create colors and makeup in general?  It must be really good! 

Snoe SABStance High Intensity Powder Blush

I believe Sabs came up with 10 blush shades with names like Faith, Hope, Love, Courage, Joy, Patience, Respect, Just, Wisdom and Honor.  Names that definitely gives SUBSTANCE to what a person should be.

Now let's veer away from the exterior and let's talk about the blush itself.  The first thing that came up to my mind are my favorite  Tarte blush because of the presence of Amazonian Clay!

Weekend Food Trip at: Slammin' MinI Burgers + Fries + Dips

When you walk in a Burger joint and there are so many choices to choose from, don't you just want to taste them all?

That's my dilemma #sosyproblems 

Thankfully, Slammin' burger solved my problem by creating mini version of our favorite burgers!  And the best thing?  You wouldn't mind ordering this on a date because it won't get as messy as regular sized burgers!

Last weekend, I invited my family to join me at Slammin' Mini Burgers + Fries + Dips located at Promenade.  It was supposed to be a "pre-dinner" thing but my family ended up so full and contented we almost didn't push through with the "Mr. AMW Birthday Dinner"!

 

Slammin' Mini Burgers got its start when Slammin' President Patrick Dy (great job!)  and his partners decided to take their existing brand, Slammer Burgers (we tried this and I definitely choose Slammin'!  Tastes way much better!)  in new direction. According to Mr. Dy: "We changed our whole culture, look and logo.  Totally revamped and upgraded our menu.  The main reason for the change is for Slammin' to eventually become the number one mini burger concept in Asia."

I won't be surprised if that happens!

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
