I Wonder: Will You Splurge on Lipsticks?

Good Monday morning AMW Friends!
I have a quick question on top of my head that I would like to hear your thoughts!  I recently got a Guerlain Lipstick from an event I attended and it was actually sitting on my table dresser for quite sometime before I decided to use it (for the sake of sharing my thoughts).  It pains me when I started applying it on my lips because I want to keep it forever!

A bit of background about me, don't get me wrong, I don't mind splurging on foundation, eyeliners, brow products, etc...but I am "okay" with inexpensive lipsticks as long as they don't dry out my lips!  I actually have all the "mid-range" to "pricey" lippies inside my makeup traincase and leave the inexpensive ones behind for me to use!  Low maintenance itech!  :P

Before this goes straight to my traincase, I've decided to try this out and see what the fuss is all about.

Priced locally at Php2,500.00

Silver bullet packaging 

Quite heavy as compared to other lipsticks I own.

AMW Bulletin: OWL Coffee Philippines

Who loves Coffee?

*high five*!  I love coffee so much I literally breathe coffee!  (No bad breathe ha!)  #lol

I literally talk so much about coffee my friends from Blogosphere knew my coffee addiction!  

I am into brew coffee but I'm always in a hurry so I highly depend on 3-in-1 coffees as well and you name the brand, I've tried them all!

One instant coffee brand that I highly recommend which I got to know when I traveled Malaysia during my "nene" days!  Owl coffee is my "pabili" when I have friends working at airlines asking me what I want if they travel to Singapore or Malaysia.  

Thankfully, Owl Coffee is available in the Philippines so no more "pabilis".  

In the Philippines, Transaxion Unlimited Corp., is the exclusive importer and distributor of OWL and OWL is Singapore's leading brand of Coffee and Tea.  OWL was established back in 1956 so you know these are good coffee because they have been around for quite some time!

Today, you will see OWL in leading supermarkets and groceries in various flavors ---

•  3-in-1 strong
• 3-in-1   Regular Low Fat
• Teh Tarik (Milk Tea)
• Ginger Tea with Honey
• Kopitiam Roast Kopi-C - uses evaporated milk for its creamer giving it a smooth mouthfeel.
• Nanyang white Coffee Gula Melaka - with coconut sugar for its sweetener for a richer aroma

 But aside from the fact that they are available locally with all those flavors, OWL Philippines has a promotion going on that excites me and my baby! 

Have you tried OWL Coffee?
Are you a coffee or tea drinker?
I don't have to answer this question, you know it by heart for now :P

AMW Reports: Uniqlo x Ines De La Fressange Collection Launch

Uniqlo - my to-go-to shopping place when I want to update my casual, basic wardrobe.  Who would've thought a collaboration would change the way I perceive Uniqlo?  Suddenly, I think about Paris, France --- the Fashion Capital of the World!

Uniqlo x Ines De La Fressange Collection

Who is Ines De La Fressange?

"Born in France into an aristocratic family, Ines de la Fressange grew to be a fashion model, becoming Chanel's star model from 1983 to 1990, and the muse of designer Karl Lagerfeld. In 1989 she was chosen by the French government as the likeness for a bust of Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic.

Today Ines is active as a designer, journalist, author, and fashion consultant, and in 2010 was selected as a member of L'Oréal's "Dream Team." Her book Parisian Chic has been translated into 17 languages, with more than a million copies sold worldwide.

In 2013 Ines re-launched her own brand, INES DE LA FRESSANGE PARIS, and is closely involved as creative director. The luxury lifestyle brand includes a wide range of products to create a truly Parisian style, from ready-to-wear apparel to interior decorations."

 

Have You Heard About Himalaya Herbals?

I haven't heard about Himalaya Herbals until recently when samples were made available via Sampleroom.  When Sampleroom made these samples available in their website, it must be really good!

When I posted about my "haul" on instagram, I get a lot of positive feedback about the brand and I wonder why I only knew about these today! 

 Himalaya Herbals is actually a global brand with herbal products in personal care category.  They are present in more than 85 countries across the globe!  And it was just last year they launched in the Philippines together with their oral care range.  Here are some of the products I get to try and please let me know your thoughts which product is worth trying out!

AMW Makeovers: MOH and MOB

Happy Friday AMW Friends!
Today, I'm sharing an MOH (Maid of Honor) and MOB (Mother of Bride) makeover!  This is a continuation of my bridal makeup as posted HERE.

As we all know, the Bride is top priority when it comes to hair and makeup but as a makeup artist, I never forget to really take my time to prettify those people who are with her!  The special people who walks the aisle together with the bride to witness the special bonding between a man and a woman!  

I was lucky enough to prettify these 2 beauties!  One is sister of the Bride who will also act as Maid of Honor and the other one is the "blushing" Mother of the Bride, who feels as excited and as nervous as the bride!

I would like to share the newest Virginia Olsen products I got that I loved so much I brought with me on the gig and actually used it!  I seldom bring with me loose mineral makeup but because the pigmentation and colors are so pretty, I can't help but use them!  Thanks Virginia Olsen for sending me these!  The shades are perfect even on Bridal gigs!
