AMW Bulletin: More Good News to Sample Room VIP Members!

You know the saying "Try Before You Buy?"
I kept on saying that to YOU my readers whenever I put up a product review.  I always advice YOU to ask for samples especially when it comes to skincare because I know how hard it is to spend your hard-earned money and all it went was...errrr..down the drain!

That is why when I was invited to be a "Partner Blogger" for Sample Room, I immediately said yes without hesitations!  I am one hell of a kuripot girl I highly recommend trying out SAMPLES....even if I turned into the world's richest woman (ahem! sana totoo!)  I will still do the sample thing!

Now back to more good news! Thanks to Sample Room's unending love for their memebers, they are sharing a new promo for Sample Room's VIP!



Okay, to simplify the good news, VIP Membership lets you have 1,000 points usable for 2 months for the price of Php799.00!  
 
Only that?  Of course not!  There are so many perks as a VIP Member:
  • You will be able to get exclusive, limited samples that are premium and are priced higher. 
  • Starting October, VIP members get a treat!  You get a FREE mystery gift every single time you sign up and renew for VIP Membership!
TADA!

AMW Makeover: Lush Angel!

Hi Everyone!
I'm sharing yet another makeover with before and after photos!  Let me know if you like these series! 
Today, I will be sharing a makeup I did for my very good Blogger Friend, Lush Angel!  Ayan ha, may sariling segment ka Angela!  hahaha

Well, she definitely deserves a spot in this blog because aside from the fact that she is a very good friend of mine (Kyle's Ninang too!).  She is also one pretty girl even without makeup!  Photo proof below!  

Angela will be part of an entourage for her friend's wedding.  Prior to that day, she sent me a makeup "peg" and the inspiration?  Julia Barretto!

Angela chose a perfect model, aside from the fact that both of them are beautiful, Julia's makeup is usually minimal, very fresh, full of life!  And her makeup depicts the makeup look I want to create on Angela!  

(Note: I apologize if makeup won't be shown properly on photos, again, I took this shot on my own without my trustee photographer!  The right side of her face (facing you) is where the natural sunlight comes in!  That explains the uneven makeup look!) 

Lush Angel
Skin type: Oily
Request: Julia Barretto Makeup



Because Angela have very good skin to start with.  I prepped her face by using an oil-free primer to help keep her foundation to stay longer without sliding off due to her oily skin.  After waiting for a couple of minutes, I applied Cream Foundation all over her face focusing more at the center to even out some of the redness.

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."
