AMW Reports: Shu Uemura Rockwell's New Look + Contest

If you pass by Shu Uemura rockwell branch, you'll definitely take a second (or even third) look!  Who wouldn't?  Look at the colorful lights that screams TOKYO!

And before I get all "intriga", thankfully, I was invited for an exclusive walk-through last week to take a peek on what's new and what's happening at the Shu Uemura Flagship store.

Did I mention Shu's new retail concept is inspired by Tokyo?  I did!  And truthfully, the store does remind me of Tokyo for its' vibrant, lively look accompanied by quirky chairs and live-moving screens!  Ahhhh..how I missed Tokyo, I will definitely go back!  If you want some Tokyo Travel tips visit my blog posts HERE.

Now back to the store.
Upon entering the store, I immediately saw different sections to "Play With".

The ShuATELIER

This is the heart of the retail store.  The display area that showcases all of Shu Uemura's make-up products and what I love about this area is that you can easily find and see ALL the products at a glance! 

Above the counter, you will also see shuLIVE...

The area were you can watch behind-the-scenes videos and make-up demos of International Artistic Director Kakuyasu Uchiide and the rest of the Shu Elite team.

Happy Skin Zit Zapper Second Skin ZZ Cream Review

And I was joking to my friends about DD, EE, FF creams...look what we have now..the ultimate "double letter" cream --- ZZ!

And this time, I am not joking!  ZZ stands for Zit Zapper which is Happy Skin's version of their ultimate "BB Cream".

I've had this all along since the launch but I recently got the chance to use and test this.  I had to wait for my skin allergies to die down so I can really make sure whatever reactions I get from testing ZZ Zit Zapper Second Skin Cream  stays true.

The moment I learned about ZZ Cream being the Foundation for Acne Prone and Sensitive skin --- I have huge doubts inside my head!  How can a product works for Acne Prone skin and Sensitive skin at the same time?  Well, partners Rissa and Jacqe from Happy Skin are very confident with these so I had to try this out myself!

Kiehl's Micro-Blur Skin Perfector and Hydro-Plumping Re-texturizing Serum Concentrate

I have always been a fan of Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate as it is one product I've tried that instantly brightened my skin overtime!  Read my past reviews HERE and HERE. 

That was years ago and I guess I got sidetracked with different skincare products to try!  BUT, this year, I was sent Kiehl's Micro-Blur Skin Perfector to try and I was mum about this because as much as I would love to try this for myself, I never change my skincare routine "abruptly" because of my sensitive skin history!  So I actually brought this along with me on makeup gigs to use on clients!  Just so you know, I value skincare routine so much I inject that on each of my clients!  But of course, I always check with them if they have skin sensitivity to particular brands or ingredients.

One of the most-loved brand that I get positive response from clients is Kiehl's!  I've used the Micro-Blur Skin Perfector serum prior to makeup application and so far, I love the immediate blurring effect it gives.  It may not be as obvious as those Pore Erasing products like that from Benefit POREfessional but this gives a good "headstart" before I start makeup application.

Thanks to my clients' feedbacks, I was told this skin-smoothing formula is lightweight and do not cause them to oil up midday!  Of course, most of the time, I use this on clients only once so I can't tell if this product will help lessen pores in the long run!  I can't try this as I have very dry skin so I have non-existent pores! :)  (yabang no? hahahah)

AMW Reports: Mustela "Nurturing Skin Care" Event

If you are expecting, a new or even an expert mom, you probably heard about Mustela.

I heard about Mustela the moment I knew I was expecting because my good friends have been singing high praises about the brand!  I, of course, was busy with my 6 months worth of  morning sickness so I did not bother use any product on myself during those times! 

Then came my super adorable Baby AMW! Thankfully, I was gifted a Mustela Bebe Trial Set and I fell in love with the Mustela No Rinse Cleansing Fluid and Dermo-cleansing gel for hair and body that I ended up purchasing for full size!  And of course, the Mustela shopping continued, I hoard on wipes (they are winner!), the Foam Shampoo and the Physiobebe Cleansing Fluid!

So when I got an invite to know more about this Nurturing Skin Care line, I had to free up my schedule and see what other products I should get addicted to!

The event was held at La Creperie, hosted by the ever pretty and talented Ms. Lexi Schulze
