Unboxing: BDJ Corporate Chic and October 2014 Skin Savers

Before October ends, I want to share my unboxing expeience on BDJ Box!

I originally got the Corporate Chic "pouch" which isn't housed in the usual BDJ Box, instead, it comes with a very cute Simply She Cosmetic Pouch!  

Corporate Chic was put together by the BDJ team to help us "working ladies" look presentable when you're working from nine to five.  As for me, my work schedule is crazy!  I even work at 12mn when Baby AMW is asleep!  So yeah....with little time for myself, I need quick and easy fix to make me look presentable (not losyang)

Simply She Cosmetic Pouch

Php400.00

Don't judge the pouch for its' size, it is small yet super terrible!  Terribly WONDERFUL!  Daily beauty essentials for the face and hair!

AMW Reports: Bobbi's Party PH!

One of the best feeling in the world when you're a blogger who loves to blog about beauty products?

A store visit with fellow beauty junkies! 

I mean who wouldn't want to be surrounded by all things makeup and skincare?   It doesn't hurt that they completed it with snacks!

It happened last week when I got an invite to Party with our Bobbi Brown Philippine friends!  It was a first for me to visit their SM Megamall branch because seriously, the place is too far from where I live!

Okay, I saw an Instax --- must prettify myself first before we post our photos there!

See?  I look human na no?  *hahaha*  I'll share to you my Bobbi Brown makeover as you read further down!

AMW Reviews: The Body Shop Instablur Eye Primer

When The Body Shop came up with their All-In-One Instablur, I went: "FINALLY!"

The Body Shop has a lot of good makeup products, from their powder foundation, brow powders, lipsticks and blushes!  Oh, let's not forget their concealers and Lip & Cheek tint.  It is high time they create a good base to help intensify, or prolong the makeup that works for our weather.

Thankfully, their face primer delivers so I'm super ecstatic to see them broadening their Instablur line!  This time for the eyes!

The packaging is almost the same as the All-In-One Instablur but this one is smaller. 
Very easy to differentiate the tube for the face and for the eyes.

It comes with a sharp "mouth" making it easy to control the amount of product needed.  This is more hygienic especially for Make-up Artists like me!  But, if we're talking about personal use, we have to admit, the doe-foot applicator is still the best!

The Body Shop says ---

Our first eye primer that works to conceal under eye dark circles, neutralise redness on the eyelid and enhance the vibrancy of eye shadow color.

• Yellow tint works to neutralize the appearance of dark circles and redness on the eye lid
• Makes eyes look less tired and more refreshed
• Use under eye shadow to prolong wear and enhance color vibrancy

Tip for the Day: Big Hair Don't Care

Hi AMW friends!  Happy Humpy Wednesday!  Today, I will be sharing my first "Hairstyle Tutorial" blogpost because I received emails requesting on how I do my "Big hair" when I posted several photos of it on my Instagram account.  You guys know how Non-techie I am so instead of videos, I'm creating photoTorial instead (Photo Tutorial) :P

I'm always in a rush, so trust me when I say, once you get the hang of this, you wont' take more than 5 minutes to create Big Sexy Hair!  

You may need the following: (Not everything on photo as I only have 2 hands :P)

• Heat protectant spray (ex. Prostyle Fuwarie Curl Styling Mist or CHI Silk Infusion)
• Flat Iron
• Dry Shampoo (ex. Made By David Dry Shampoo Lemon and Freesia)
• Paddle Brush (ex. Acca Kappa Protection Brush)
• Matrix Biolage Exquisite Oil

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.
