Eureka Moment: Plum Lips That Won't Hurt Your Pocket




You know how it is when you browse through magazines and online sites and you found the PERFECT lip color you want to try but it is a bit pricey for your taste?  

Well EUREKA MOMENT!

As we all know, purple/plum lips is the current trend and as much as you want to get into this trend, it is challenging if you're on a budget.  Well, here I am, sharing a great find!

As I was rummaging through my lipstick stash one day and was fighting off some lipsticks with Toddler AMW, I chanced upon a silver tube lippie that is still sealed to perfection!  I took one glance at the shade name and it was called Berry Smooth.  Hmm...sounds lovely!  Then I opened it up and tried it on my lips....

I am in love!
Not with myself silly but with the lip color!

The lip color glides on like a dream, pigmentation is really good and my lips never felt dry the whole day I wore this shade!  Guess the brand?

Benefit Puff Off! Instant Eye Gel Review



You've probably heard this from a friend who suffers from eye puffiness: "If only I could iron it out!"  (Plantsa kung plansta!)

And guess what?  Someone FINALLY LISTENED!  Benefit came up recently with Puff off!  It is an instant eye gel to help smooth the look of puffiness!  And they were quite confident with the product to even include the world: "INSTANT"!

Now, here I am to tell you if this product does do the magic or not!  Are you ready to plansta?  :D

Instead of the usual metallic "roll-on" that actually works to de-puff our undereye area, Benefit came up with a custom ironing tip!  It is cool upon contact on skin so it definitely helps reduce eye puffiness!  (think of a gold spoon after a crying session!)

Hi AMW Friends!  Happy Monday!  I am off for a talk with Philippines' top company and I can't wait to share you all about it when I get the chance!  As for now, you may follow me on Instagram (@AskMeWhats) as I will definitely update my status there!

It is Monday, you're probably too lazy to get up and even lazier to do your makeup!  I mean who int he world would even use liquid or cream foundation on a hot and crazy weather like here in the Philippines?  

A tip for you especially commuters out there, well, you can actually do your makeup when you arrive in the office!  Let me know if you want me to share some tips on Office Makeup! 

And another tip I may share is that, you can actually use your favorite liquid or cream foundation without looking like you have a fake mask, or worst, when they create flakes up close!  That's a huge NO-NO especially if you have a client meeting or a Monday morning meeting with the boss!

Today, I have created a very simple yet effective tutorial on how to keep your skin from looking dry and fake after foundation application!  You only need to add one product in between!  Are you ready?

AMW Cooks: Stuffed Beef Roll


How many ways can you use "ground beef" in a dish?
Well, I asked myself that because of my busy schedule, we don't have much meat left on the freezer but ground beef!

Do I cook beef patties again?  Or maybe mix it with vegetables?  It was a Friday night and I usually cook something unique (ahem, unhealthy) for the family!  It is the end of the work week so I may at least spoil Mr. AMW right?

As I researched Google for more beef recipes, I don't find a lot so I just used my crazy imagine and thought of this!

Note:  This doesn't look good on photos but tastes really good!  I am quite proud of this dish as the whole family devoured this dish to the last crumb!


Ingredients:
  • Ground beef or pork.
  • Egg
  • Salt and Pepper
  • Bread Crumbs
  • Cheddar Cheese cut into sticks.
  • Soy sauce
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Cornstarch

Lush New Shampoo Bars Launch at Piandre Salon

Shampoo in a bar?
Would it suds up?  Will my hair feel extremely dry?  Is it even possible?

Well, let me answer those questions for you as I finally got to have my own #lushtime last week as they launch 6 new Lush Shampoo Bars in a place I feel quite comfortable with....Piandre Salon, Fort Bonifacio!


According to the Lush team, Lush's naked, unpreserved solid shampoo bars are not only convenient and unpreserved, but, they are actually saving bottles of liquid shampoo going to landfill when you use each bar!  Aside from saving the environment, these bars are quite effective because they have been hitting off the shelves!
