AMW Cooks: Triangular Shaped Lumpiang Shanghai

When I posted this recipe on Instagram, some thought I made Samosas!  *I wish!*  Sorry for tricking your eyes but it is just my simple Lumpiang Shanghai dish (Fried Spring Rolls) shaped differently! 

A quick background, Lumpiang Shanghai is my favorite comfort food!  As I was preparing to make some, I realized my wrapper isn't as fresh as before (as it was frozen for a couple of days already) so instead of forcing the wrapper to work against its will, I've decided to wrap it in this shape and seal the wrapper with egg white (better than water).  So far, this method worked!

Ingredients:

• Ground Pork
• Lumpia Wrapper
• Finely chopped onions.
• Finely chopped garlic
• Finely chopped carrots
• 1 whole egg
• Soy sauce
• Salt and Pepper
• a tiny amount of Knorr Seasoning (optional)

Something New: L’Oréal Paris Dermo-Expertise LASER X3 Skin Power Water

In the past, I had a hard time looking for the right skincare products that is hydrating enough for my extremely dry skin!  I think I got it when I worked in China for 3 years and my body wasn't used to the extreme weather --- too hot, too cold, too humid.  Upon getting back, my skin is literally peeling and flaking it doesn't look good I tell you!

Thankfully, girls today have more "inexpensive" options!  I used to spend more than Php1,500 for a highly moisturizing skin care product!  I don't mind spending that much for skincare but hey, if there are more inexpensive ways, why not?  

L'Oreal Paris introduces their new skincare product for the "super thirsty skin!"  

The Revitalift Laser X# Skin Anti-Aging Power Water

This product got me at "Instantly refined, hydrated and re-plumped skin"

AMW Wears: AIOnline Shop AU165 Top x 3

As you all know by now, Online Shopping is my best friend!  Yes, I go out every once in awhile but I'm always in a hurry to get back home!  (I miss Baby AMW that much!)

So shopping definitely isn't on my top priority as of the moment (siguro pag teenager na si Kyle lol)  so I opt for online shopping especially when Kyle is asleep!  hahaha 

I had a good first-time shopping experience at AI Online Shop and I blogged about them HERE.  Once in awhile, I take a peek and see if they have new collections coming up as their price range are SUPER AFFORDABLE!  Almost the same or even better as Divisoria (minus the crazy crowd).

Here re my picks and check this out, 9 pieces of clothing for less than Php2,500.00!  Aminin niyo, ang galing ko no? :D

Take a closer look and see the numbered tops!  They are in 3 different colors but they look the same right?  Well, because for the first time, I got the exact same blouse design in 3 different shades because I just can't get enough! 

I love loose chiffon blouses!  I can easily move around and I don't have to worry about "sucking in" the pregnancy fats!  So here are the 3 similar tops in different shades as worn on different events.

AMW Reviews: L'Oreal Super Liner Blackbuster

 

YES IT IS!
Mind you, the brand isn't PENTEL PEN though, the brand is from L'Oreal!  Ayan, trusted yan in beauty!

Don't you wish at least once in your "makeup application life" on using a real Pentel Pen marker to line your eyes each time you create crooked, uneven lines?  I'd be honest to say: "YES I once did!'

The answer to all "unsteady hands", to those who are scared to use eyeliner!  Now, you may graduate from pencil liners....you're welcome! 

Oh before you start thanking me, don't you want to at least read what I have to say with my first ever eyeliner from L'Oreal?  Come on, you're interested!

A blockbuster or a flop?

Pixi By Petra Sheer Cheek Gel in Flushed Review

I have been addicted to cream and gel blushes lately.

Why?  I am so tired, mentally, emotionally and physically!  If you follow me on IG (@AskMeWhats), you'll know that Baby AMW got really sick a week ago and now, he's getting better but left with cough and colds.  Now I understand how hard it is....to be a mom!  Oh, the constant worry!  And what's worst?  The fact that I can easily cancel out on events but cannot cancel out on makeup clients who booked me months ago!

As much as I would love to just go barefaced and look yucky!  I am paid to prettify other people so the least I could do is to keep myself presentable!  You know I'm a brow, eyeliner, blush and lipstick gal so with the least number of makeup products I use on my face, I should at least make sure...they are worthwhile!

One recent find?  The Pixi by Petra Sheer Cheek gel which I have been using quite a number of times since I received this from Glamourbox to test last July.
