Happy 2nd Year Sampleroom!

These 4 girls literally changed the "beauty industry" when they launched Sampleroom.ph 2 years ago....wait...1, 2, 3, I did say 4 right?

Here you go!  Diana, Sophie, Nats and Kats, these girls are the amazing women behind www.sampleroom.ph.  I've said it before an will say it again, #TryBeforeYouBuy is definitely the best way to spend your hard-earned money wisely!  Trust me, there's just no other way (especially skincare products)!  I used to be so scared of trying out testers or ask for samples because I feel so "diyahe" (shy).  I'm sure a lot of you fellow shoppers can relate and thankfully, there is a venue to grab samples (some are even full sized!)

Gift Ideas: For Kikay Car Owners (Carry-All Bag)

*sigh* I wished I read about this earlier!  There was just this ONE HOUR window for me to shop for our Wedding Godparents and Kyle's Godparents last weekend and I was literally running around inside the mall --- alone ---- not knowing what to buy!  And just when Christmas is literally HERE, I see these Carry-All Bags / Trunk Organizers from fellow Blogger friend and I just had to share!  

With a toddler around, my car looks like it housed a family of 10 when there's literally like 2.5 of us humans!  *laughs*  The 0.5 human was the one taking up all the car space!  (Sorry Kyle, I'm not blaming you!) 

So truthfully, when I saw these Carry-All Bag/trunk organizers, I am sure I would appreciate such gift so I'm sharing this Gift Idea for Kikay or even non-Kikay car owners out there!  

 There are so many designs to choose from to suit the personality of the receiver!  If unsure, you can always go for the Classic Carry-All, the color is in red pa which is a lucky color for New Year!

Gift Ideas: For Moms with Kids

As a mom, discussing about letting the kids use electronic gadgets is a discussion that would probably take a lifetime!

Personally speaking, there is no right or wrong answer.  For me, everything should always be in moderation!  I for instance, let Toddler AMW use my phone or tablet every now and then but he understands when I'm using it so he isn't allowed to grab it just because he wants to!  As for tablet, he uses it with a limit, let's say maximum of thrice a week?  Not more than an hour each time.

Clinique Chubby Stick Baby Tint Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm Review

From the first "crayon-like" lipstick called Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Balm, which, by the way, is already AHMAYZZHHINNGG!  Clinique came up with an intense, highly pigmented and very hydrating version called Clinique Chubby Stick Intense.  Let's say those 2 are a couple, well, they finally wed and have a baby called Clinique Chubby Stick Baby Tint.  

What's the difference between the 3?

Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Balm is a regular lip balm with regular pigmentation.  Hydration is good.

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense is similar to the original Chubby Stick in terms of moisture properties but is more intense in terms of pigmentation.  

Clinique Chubby stick Baby Tint has the least pigmentation (almost invisible if you have pigmented lips), you don't get the exact color on tube but it is highly hydrating, even more hydrating than "her" parents.

According to Clinique, the new Baby Tint is all about you, with a collection of 4 SHEER shades from orange to pink to red and violet, it brings out your lips' natural tone.  Infused with Vitamin C, Shea Butter, Mango Seed Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil, the formula delivers a surge of moisture leaving lips soft and supple.

Lipstick of the Day: ARTDECO Art Couture Pearl Lipstick in 366

My first ever ARTDECO lipstick posted in this blog (AskMeWhats).
So yeah, I had to make this special!  Let's do a creative shot :P

This lipstick was left in my "lipstick bin" unsure if I'll be using this for myself or for my clients!  But the Christmas season is here and parties are everywhere!  And most of the time, we were asked to wear red lipstick, or if not, I am requiring myself to wear one because that's the only part of my face I can go overboard because I don't want heavy eye and face makeup with my active toddler around!
