Weekend Food Trip at: Shilin, Lucky Chinatown

Hi AMW Friends!
How are you?  I had a busy weekend and today will be a bit more relaxed!  I will stay home today to bond with Kyle before my week starts again!  And next week will be crazy!

So anyway, I recently did take away for Shilin restaurant from Podium when I had a haircut at Hairshaft!  And that was last year!  When we talked to our friends about how we feel about Shilin (yes we do talk about food! lol!)  They told us we weren't ordering the right "Shilin food" to experience the Shilin way of eating! 

So off we went to Lucky Chinatown's branch to try Shilin, this time, dine in! 

And as always, there should always be Shilin Xiao Long Bao, because I have to admit, they are really good!

Shilin Xiao Long Bao

Original 6pcs

You may try the black truffle version, but I'm happy with this original! 

#SeizeTheSummer and Win a Trip for 3 to Bali, Indonesia!

New AMW readers probably do not know that I used to be a Vaseline Girl and I still am!

Several years ago, one of my biggest project as a blogger was Vaseline Road Trip of  A Lifetime, you can read more about my entries HERE.

That's why when I got an invite for a launch of Vaseline Healthy White's newest product, I had to clear up my schedule and go!  Seriously, this brand is dear to my heart not only because they made me a Vaseline girl in the past, but I actually used Healthy White and finished up Nth number of tubes!

At the launch, I was greeted with this table set up...ahh Summer is definitely here!

The star product was there, up close and I gave it a test right away!  Thank Lord they didn't change the scent!  The scent brought me back to so much good memories!  

Reader's Corner: Where to Buy Colored HairSpray

My "kumare" and grade school friend called me up one day and asked: "Mars!  Where can I buy hair color products for my daughter?"

Suddenly, AskMeWhats turned quiet...I actually do not know the answer!  I mean I knew quite a lot but I'm unsure if they are safe for the kiddo!  

Just when I was just about the research for my friend, a good friend Therese, who works at an agency asked me if I wanted to try Color HairSpray from Wish.  As crazy as the idea was for a 36 years old mom...I said yes!  And it's not because someone asked about these, it is because I am totally intrigued by them too!

Wish Washable Color Hair Spray

Shades: Brown, Blue, Silver (LE), Violet, Pink and Red

Price Php219.00 per piece 

Available at Watsons

And since I don't want to go out with colored hair not knowing what to expect (does it smell bad?  Will it ruin my hair?  Will the color run if I perspire?) I tested all these colors out (except brown) several hours before I took a shower! (Yes, inaamin ko) :P

Something New: Close Up Diamond Attraction

So few weeks back, I missed the launch of Close Up Diamond Attraction, thus missing the chance to meet Heart Evangelista in person because of my "no house help months".  

The kind people from Close Up sent me Heart's Beauty Picks!

As much as I got so excited with our same love for K-Palette Real Lasting Eyebrow 1 Day Tatoo and a red lip pencil....

I am seriously looking forward to try Close Up Diamond Attraction Toothpaste!  I actually took the box out and used it immediately.

“What elevates Closeup Diamond Attraction from other whitening toothpastes in the market is that it utilizes Blue Light Technology through a blue covarine foam that lessens the yellow tones on teeth, making teeth look whiter and brighter, instantly,” says one of the country’s top cosmetic dentists, Dr. Cecile Infantado.

Tony Moly Delight Magic Lip Tint in Red Berry Review

You know how it is when you were starting out on makeup and lip products on pots are really interesting?  Well, I've gone through that stage and seeing this new Tony Moly Delight Magic Lip Tint brought me back to my younger years!  

If you read most of my product reviews, I dislike using "pots" on lip products because I feel like they are unhygienic!  But today...SURPRISE SURPRISE!  I am actually in LOVE with these lip pots because they are VERY hygienic when I bring them for work as a Make Up Artist! 

I only have 2 lip product pots on my traincase as of the moment, meant for male clients!  But after using them also for my female clients to "prep" their lips before the actual lipstick, I am definitely looking for more alternatives!
