Something New: Pond's Products and The Face Search Winners

Everyone who's into "showbiz" knew Heart Evangelista, the pretty girl behind Ponds, is recently engaged!  And obviously everyone would like to know the details on her wedding preparation including makeup and skincare.  Yes, she does have glowing skin (I check her Instagram posts) and according to her, her secret is staying positive and surrounding herself with good people.  Aside from that, she uses Ponds.

According to Heart: “I start by cleansing with the cult favorite Pond’s Cold Cream and wash the day off with the Pond’s Flawless White Facial Foam,” she says. And while Heart likes to have her share of fun under the sun, she makes sure she does it responsibly. “I use Pond’s BB+ Cream every time I leave the house because it has SPF 30 PA++ that protects from harmful UVA aging and UVB burning rays,” shares the actress. “It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth and helps control oil the whole day.”

And with only months away until her wedding, Heart injected the New Pond's Dewy Rose Gel - this is a whitening product in Refreshing Gel that is infused with Rose Lumiere Serum that goes deep into the skin to lighten dark spots inside and smoothen pores outside.  This unique gel formulation (my favorite texture) is easily absorbed by the skin!

I am proud to say that I used to be a #PondsGirl , the first skincare regimen that I spent my hard-earned money on is the Pond's Flawless White range and so far, it worked on me.  I stopped using the Flawless White line when I grew older and started to suffer extremely dry skin.  I hope the "gel" texture would help in hydrating my quenched skin!  Any dry skinned users out there?  Thoughts please?

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
