Something New: Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea Yuzu

Ask me my favorite Elizabeth Arden scent, hands down...still the discontinued True Love.  I still have a half empty bottle and I'm saving up scent for very special occasions.

And just when I thought nothing would excite me after True Love.  Well, suddenly, my spirits were uplifted after seeing this. And thank you Elizabeth Arden for including "Sparkling Lemon" into your scent. 

"Sparkling. Uplifting. Feminine. Green Tea Yuzu, captivates its wearer through bright notes of Yuzu zest, sheer bergamot, sparkling lemon which meet an etheral wave of green tea vapors and lemon tree petitgrain."

AskMeMom: New Huggies Dry Pants

When your toddler is on the stage of "loving to walk and almost run", you know diaper-changing will always be a challenge!  

I actually (kinda) mastered the art of diaper-changing with Baby AMW standing up but at times, I wish there is a better and more convenient way as I always end up disturbing him in his most active and hyper stage and after diaper changing?  All I have is an "alboroto" baby!

Thankfully, someone finally thought of a solution to moms with active babies!

 Huggies Dry Pants!

I wish I get to know you back when we went to the US!  Imagine the cramped space inside the airplane toilet?

By simply adding less than Php1.00 to the price of your current taped diaper, you too can experience easier diaper change and uninterrupted playtime.  With it's "saktong fit" stretchable wasteband, you get 10 hours of dryness and even more!  

AMW Reviews: Rimmel Stay Blushed! Liquid Cheek Tint (Pop of Pink)

I'm on a roll with blush reviews!  I have always been a fan of blush because it gives my pale skin an instant "lift".  Whether I use contouring powder or not, I highly depend on blush to create dimension on my face even casual days.

As soon as I got this product from local reseller Beautycorner.ph  and saw the shade called Pop of Pink, I initially thought: "Not Again!".  As you all know, I may be a fan of "pink ANYTHING" but not when it comes to blush!  Why?  They usually come out too obvious and too fake on my cheeks!  But upon swatching....I had a change of heart.

Rimmel by the way is a UK drugstore brand that has been going around in the blogosphere for quite some time because of it's affordability YET super good reviews!  I haven't tried a lot of Rimmel London products so this actually made me excited!

Rimmel Stay Blushed! Liquid Cheek Tint is housed in a tube almost similar to a lip gloss.

The product description says Lightweight that blends instantly and seamlessly which I knew I had to test it out on our weather.

AMW Reviews: FS by F21 Cosmetics Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner (Brown)

If you are a long-time reader of AMW, you'll know how much I loved Gel liners and I used and tried a couple of brands!  

From Coastal Scents (raise your hand if you still remember this brand), Makeup  Masala Gel Liners,  San San gel Eyeliner with Vitamin E, Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Liner, Kate Gel Eyeliner, ELF Studio Creme Eyeliner,  Stila Smudgepots, MAC Fluidline and the list goes on and on!

As you can see, I don't discriminate makeup brands or price points!  What is important for me...is the effectiveness of the product!  If it works and is super affordable, you'll know where it'll go --- Eureka Moment!

I recently got to try FS by F21 Cosmetics from BDJ Box for the month of September 2014.  Thankfully, this gel liner is included in the box because I wouldn't purchase any gel liner because I just have too many as of the moment!

FS by the way stands for Fanny Serrano, Fanny Serrano is a well known local Makeup Artist for the stars and his collaboration with Fashion 21 Cosmetics is really wonderful because most of the products from the FS line works really well!

I know I'm blabbing so much again, I should just get on to the review right?  Well, just so you know, my first FS by F21 Long-Wear Gel Liner is in color Brown which I love because Brown is a perfect gel liner shade for everyday look!

FS by F21 Cosmetics says ---
A long-lasting, gel-based, water-proof liquid eyeliner that's soft on the lids and rich in definition.
