AMW Reviews: Pro Studio Beauty Pro Blend Sponge

Hi AMW friends!
Today, I will be sharing a review on my "egg-shaped" sponge which I got from Pro Studio Beauty.  I have this in my professional makeup kit for months and I only got to use this on my most recent gig on a male client!  You know how it is with male clients right?  Some may be used to having their makeup done while some aren't!  So pulling out a brush may scare the hell out of them so I've decided to whip out my airbrush machine, at the same time, do some spot concealing using the Pro Studio Beauty Pro Blend Sponge.

I owned a couple of Beauty Blenders so I can definitely compare this to the "original one".  Aside from that, I only have another called HD Makeup Blender and so far, you can read both reviews by clicking the "name" for link. 

Lilac colored egg-shaped sponge called Pro Studio Beauty "Pro Blend Sponge".  

You can go for other shades and I think they also offer the same shape as my HD Makeup Blender.

Glambox says ---

Use this Pro Blend Sponge to apply foundation to get the ultimate professional flawless finish!

Best used when damp. Hold the sponge under cool water and squeeze several times (to wet the sponge). After, give the sponge one more squeeze to remove excess water before using the sponge for makeup application. During application, gently pat and glide sponge on skin.

Available in various colors.

Happy Skin Shut Up and Kiss Me Lip & Cheek Mousse (Swept Off My Feet) Review

Good morning AMW Friends!
As you can see on my Instagram account, most of my makeup looks are clean and very simple.

The box is the same as their Moisturizing Lippie.

The product is housed in a regular lip gloss packaging with applicator.

AMW Reports: Swarovski Fall/Winter 2014/15 Collection

When I tell you "Swarvoski", what comes to your mind?
I would probably say, very sparkly stones my couturier used on my Bridal gown and the sparkly Swarovski crystal head piece.

When I told my husband that I'm heading to a Swarovski event when I got a personal invite from Blogger friend Patty Laurel-Filart, my husband said: "What will you see there?  Crystal Ornaments for home?"

NAH-AH!  It is an event where he'll probably spend some money because I got home gushing about the new designs for Fall/Winter 2014/2015.

Bloggers with Miranda Kerr..ahem...I mean Patty Laurel-Filart (the host)

The event was intimate and was held at The Gallerie, Rustan's Makati on a lovely Saturday afternoon.

And it was a close encounter between me and the 2014/15 Collection.  I am loving so many pieces!  I've always thought Swarovski pieces are plain, I'm so glad to see I was completely wrong!

Initial Thoughts: Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate

Hi guys!
Guess what?  First day of the week and I'm sharing a skincare product review!  Something unusual since I seldom jump from one skincare to another!  It takes an awful lot of time for me to insert new skincare product because for the fact that I have sensitive skin.  

A couple of months ago, I received a full sized 30ml bottle of Shiseido Ultimune  Power Infusing Concentrate because I am a Sampleroom partner (thanks guys!)  This concentrate has been sitting on top of my vanity for quite sometime and it was only last month October 20, 2014 to be exact when I've decided to give this a try!  What gave me the courage?  Well, the fact that I'm on Shiseido Ibuki and the whole line worked for me!  So I stopped on ALL Ibuki products and actually used ONLY THIS for several nights (around 1 week) to really test if this product will cause me any allergic reactions.  

Thankfully NONE.  And here's my initial thoughts on using the said concentrate.

According to Shiseido ---

"The ultimate concentrate for enhancing skin's inherent multi-defensive power against signs of aging, environmental factors and daily stress. Day by day, your skin becomes smoother and more resilient making wrinkles less noticeable and your complexion appears to glow with more radiance than ever. Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate is for all women of all ages. It works with your skincare to boost the benefits of your regimen, no matter your concerns."

AMW Cooks: Cantonese Style Ground Pork with Egg

Before I share my recipe on the ultimate comfort food (for me), I want to share how much fun I had at my first 2-hour intensive makeup workshop at Benefit SM Mall of Asia.  This targets Benebabes who want to learn makeup hands-on and it was meant to be very intimate for me to be able to really focus on each girls' faces!  

Again, thank to the gorgeous Benebabes and Benefit Cosmetics Philippines for making my weekend super fun! 

Now on to the recipe, don't judge me on putting "Cantonese Style" on this regular Pork Giniling recipe, because we are Cantonese and I haven't seen other household cook the exact same dish as my mom, I'm claiming this to be my mom's dish because I love her and I'm proud of her :)  Back when I was really young (really young because young lang ako now lol)  "meat" dishes aren't usual in the AMW household, because my mom is very strict when it comes to our meal, we had to have a balance of meat and vegetables and back when we are young, don't we just dislike vegetables?
