AMW Reviews: The Body Shop Smoky 2 in 1 Gel Liner (Eyes and Brows)

When I heard The Body Shop came up with a Gel Liner, I exclaimed: "FINALLY!" 

I mean seriously, don't you agree with me when I say almost ALL makeup brands came up with their version of gel liners?  I mean way back before K-Palette 24H Real Lasting Eyeliner and Benefit They're Real Push-Up Liner, I am a gel-liner addict and you can freely search "gel liners" on my search box and you'll see the brands I used and reviewed.

Just when I thought I'll go silent about gel liners, thanks to The Body Shop for reviving my gel-liner love!  When I got the 2-in-1 Smoky Gel Liner Eyes and Brows...I immediately exclaimed, I won't be using this for the brows for sure!  So bear with me as I will be reviewing this as eyeliner.  As I use this gel liner solely for eye-lining purpose.

The Gel Liner packaging may be unique and eye-catching several years ago but since Revlon came out with a similarly-packaged gel liners 2 years ago (and I believe some Korean brand as well?)  , the unique packaging isn't as unique anymore.

If this is the first time for you to encounter this packaging, well, feel free to be impressed!  This is a handy gel pot with a brush neatly tucked on lid.

And as usual, feel free to read more for my in depth review!

How to Be Happy and Contented

Okay, this post is totally different from my usual posts and I'm actually typing this as I dry my hair!  *laughs*  I had a big fan right in front of my face and suddenly, I had this trail of wonderful thoughts....on sharing my how-tos!  I've had a couple of how-tos post and those are all skincare/makeup related.  Today, it's none of those!  I'm speaking about the emotional happiness.  The physical side?  Too easy, there are so many products and methods to make you pretty!

Okay, not saying I'm pretty here but I did use makeup to help me look at least "decent" to leave the house.

Long-time AMW reader would know why I started this blog and why this blog is called AskMeWhats.

...... do you know ba? (still waiting)

Weekend Food Trip at: Yoree Korean BBQ Dining for AGC Christmas Party

I'm not the type who would use Social Media when I'm on the road.  But recently, I have a LOT of time to do so, take selfies, take photos of my surroundings, because I just have SO MUCH time on hand because of the crazy traffic!  #BerMonths #ManilaTraffic

When I got an invite to attend AGC's Christmas Party, the company who brought in Tony Moly, Etude House and Tous Le Jours, aside from the fact that I love all 3 brands was the venue!  If you know me pretty well, you'll know that this Chinese girl loves Korean food!  I have dined at Korean Village so many times I think the number of visits exceed my age!  :P

So yeah, a new Korean restaurant to try?  Why not brave Manila traffic all over again? 

Mind you..it was exactly 2.5 hours driving (ONE WAY!)

  

Yoree Korean BBQ Dining by the way, is located at the Forum, Bonifacio Global City.  I parked at The Fort Strip (thanks Rowena for the tip) and I waked a couple of blocks to the restaurant.  

Can you imagine how famished I was?  I can literally eat a whole cow!  Or even grass along BGC! :P

So yeah, my tummy welcomed the 10 course meal prepared by AGC!  And before I talk about the restaurant and food, can I share a bit of background?

I have never been to an Etude House, Tony Moly or Tous Le Jours event, every time I got an invite, it was always a bad timing (on my part) because I always have something scheduled to do or I was out of the country, or probably just given birth!  So yeah, right timing to attend a company Christmas Party when I haven't even met anyone of them before right?

Awkward you may say but guess what?  I fit right in!  The staffs at AGC are super wonderful! And let's not forget, I also had wonderful table mates!  Fellow Beauty Bloggers, unite! :P

Now let's talk about the food...I was immediately served with appetizers.  Still a Kimchi girl!

Then the waiter with personality came over to serve us, Wagyu Beef!  We were all in heaven!

Initial Thoughts: Mores White Booster and Mores Skin Firming Pack

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today, I will be sharing my initial thoughts on the new skincare brand called Mores!  I received 2 Mores products from my Sampleroom family!  Seriously, the best decision to be a partner blogger as I get to try so many new "kikay-related" products, I don't only get to try them out for free, I also get to try them out even before I see them in stores!  

Yes, I got these for free but as always, you'll get real time feedback from yours truly!  But of course, keep in mind that I probably have different skin type/condition as you, so my experience may be totally different from yours!  So please TRY before you buy!  If possible, try some samples first before you purchase the whole thing! 

So yes, I am very "iffy" when it comes to trying out new skincare products but the Mores White Booster really caught my interest.  Why?  This is a "White Booster", an intensive whitening and collagen booster that works for all skin types!  I am not really dying for the "whitening part" but I'm excited for the collagen boost! 

Here's how the packaging looks like...

The packaging is made of plastic with pump (thank God!)  so it is lightweight and very easy to tote around.

Price: Php1,695.00 for 30ml

Upon reading the box, it says the product is best used overnight.  Thankfully, I only get to really use skincare products at night when I don't have Baby AMW hugging me, licking my face!
