GirlStuff Bloggers' Elite Summer Collection, Please support AMW!






Funny how I'm posting this on the 1st day of April and you are probably thinking I'm just pulling your leg on this one!

PLEASE, I AM SERIOUS when it comes to polishes!  *laughs*

If you follow me on IG and FB, you probably know by now how excited I am in sharing my collaboration with Girl Stuff Polish!  Everything happened so fast I am overwhelmed yet very thankful to the Lord for such blessings!

What you see me wearing in this official photo is called....

Girl Stuff Bloggers' Elite Summer Polish
Shade: AskMeWhats



Yes, I finally have a polish shade named after my Blog!  I am so excited for this collaboration and I can't contain it!  But before I share more stories about the launch, here are some side-stories on the shoot day itself!  It was a fun, quick shoot with Girl Stuff.

Nail Polish Application, the day I met AskMeWhats polish shade in the flesh.

Initial Thoughts: Nekkid Beauty

Let's get NEKKID shall we?
Excuse me?  YES!  Let's get Nekkid!

Nekkid Beauty is very new in the market but before you say buh-bye to this blog post!  You may want to read what I have to say!

The brainchild of NEKKID is from a fellow Beauty Blogger Sabs Hernandez, who is very much obsessed with skin care products just like yours truly!  It was last year when she whispered to me during an event on how much she would like to push through her skin care business because that is her passion and all I can say was... GO, I'll support you!

And trust me when I say, it isn't difficult to support a product that was made with ingredients lists readable and understandable to regular consumers!  All products under NEKKID are free from harmful chemicals, dyes and away from the "Dirty dozen"!

So the more natural the products are, the more they are beneficial to our skin!

And I was able to test 4 products and so far, the brand is extremely promising and I will definitely try more of their products in the future!


Creamy Body Scrub in Pomegranate and Mango
Php350.00 for 250g

 My absoluate favorite out of the 4 products!  Okay, it is difficult to pick a favorite because they all have different functions!  But what I love about NEKKID Creamy Body Scrub is how CREAMY it is!  One of the creamiest body scrub I tried to date and I am seriously addicted with the scent!  Now that I'm really busy with an active toddler, I used to rush my shower time to spend more time with my little angel, but with this Creamy Body Scrub around, I can't help but scrub away the dirt, tired muscles and worries and just enjoy more "me" time...

Tony Moly Perfect Eyes Super Proof Eyeliner Review

Happy Monday!  We all need some eye-wakening experience and my biggest secret to look awake is using an eyeliner!  I always get the: "Oh, you are Chinese?  PURE?"  

Yes, I don't have small, chinky-eyes as expected but I definitely have smaller eyes than most gorgeous Filipinas out there!  What I do to make my eyes appear brighter and awake is by using eyeliner and I sometimes exaggerate the line to make them appear bigger!  

So I am definitely a heavy liner user and one that I originally love (before the gel-liners and before those eyeliner markers are made available for ease of application), I used to heavily rely on Liquid Liners and if I may brag...*ahem*, I am quite an expert in using these!  (But please don't count the many liquid-liner-eye-poking experiences in the past...that you don't have to know! :P)

Once I got the Tony Moly Perfect Eyes Super Proof Eye Liner on Hand, I knew I had to test this for my co-liquid liner experts!  *winks*  If you're not an expert in this field, well, you can always start and grab our title! :D


The Tony Moly Perfect Eyes Super Proof Eyeliner I got comes in Black color and it is housed in a mascara-looking tube.

AMW Cooks: Bacon Wrapped Burger

My husband loves Bacon!  Who doesn't?
Well, he love Bacon --- a lot!  I don't!  But as a loving wife *ahem* #TrueStory  I make sure to cook him dishes that would wow him visually, emotionally and mentally!

As I have limited ingredients left on the fridge, I was thinking: "Burger again?"   It was almost weekend and I want to surprise the hubby!  Eureka moment --- a pack of Bacon! 

What to do?  I planned on chopping the bacon and combine it with the burger pattie, but I wanted something visually appealing! 

So I made these!  Who would've thought fellow-Bacon lovers were suddenly requesting for recipes?  It is very easy I tell you!

P.S. Sorry there's no step-by-step photos because my hands are extremely dirty!


Ingredients:
  • Ground pork/beef.  I used ground pork.
  • Salt, pepper, garlic and onion, chopped mushrooms and cornstarch -  to be mixed with Ground Pork.
  • Egg
  • Strips of bacon

STRIVE S/S 2015 Collection Launch



I was one of the few who literally rejoiced when comfortable footwear started to arrive our shores!  Finally, someone understood my woes!  My mom and sister can't seem to understand why I'm always in a bad mood after a long day walking around Divisoria.  As much as I enjoyed spending time with my friends, I would rather sit for hours in coffee shops or restaurants to chat than walk inside the mall for hours!

I'm finally saying it....My knees and legs hurt!!!

As of this moment, I have 3 shoe racks all full with nice-looking pair of shoes but there are only a pair or 2 that I really wear when I'm out!  If you see me wearing high-heeled shoes in an event, PLEASE, come up to me and give me a hug!  It is really an effort for me to look good!  *laughs*  Given the chance, I'd rather go for shoes or sandals that are extremely comfortable, not just normal "flats" but they should be arched in a way that works for my weird feet!  (I'm not flat-footed by the way!)

The good thing about these shoe brands that are meant to give comfort are good for a time-being, I am literally complaining after a year's usage on how they don't feel the way they used to!

AGREE?

Well, finally, ONE BRAND promises support and comfort for as long as the pair "lives".

STRIVE!




Thanks to Macel for introducing me to Str
