AMW Reviews: Max FactorX Skin Luminizer Foundation

I have used Max Factor X Skin Luminizer Foundation several times even on a make up photo-torial recently (How to apply make up on dark, pigmented lids).  I tend to grab this particular liquid foundation when I needed the full coverage minus the fake, heavy feel! 

But seriously?  Who likes to apply liquid foundation on a very hot and humid summer like this?  Well, ME if I have some coverage!  I also tend to use this as my "lightweight" concealer!

Want coverage that enhances your skin rather than masking it? Try skin luminizer foundation, which cleverly uses light-reflecting particles to create a gorgeous healthy-looking glow.

• Subtle skin luminizers are specially designed to reflect ‘warm’ light tones.
• Also contains a hydrator that helps improve skin’s condition to create a healthy glow from within.
• Medium coverage with a dewy finish.

I've Experienced MOMspiration at Discovery Suites and I like it!

A long-time reader would probably know by now how close I am with my mom!  And that closeness actually changed when I turned into a mom myself!  Our relationship is way closer and I really can't thank her enough for all the sacrifices, hardships and adjustments she has done!  I mean, I knew that from the start, but experiencing it first-hand is a different story!  Less than a week after I gave birth, I gave my mom a call and told her: "Ma, I can't believe how hard it was for you, I only have 1 and you had us 4!  THANK YOU and I LOVE YOU!" 

And let me tell you a bit about my mom, she is really down-to-earth, humble and very simple!  She never asks for material things and would feel bad accepting expensive gifts!  So for me, the best gift to a mom like that...is the gift of time.  As much as I would love to be there for her 24/7, with my very busy schedule, I'm sure just giving her the time she deserves, to feel special, to feel appreciated is the best gift in the world!

And recently, I experienced one BEST GIFT idea for moms out there!

MOMspiration at Discovery Suites.  No joke, I am not paid to write this post, I was just invited to "experience" how it is to enjoy a fun, relaxed lunch with fellow mommies.  And I want my mom to enjoy the same experience I had.

"MOMspiration" is Discovery Suites' way of honoring our pillar of strength.  You can choose intimate lunch or dinner or to "jump up" the total gratification experience, you can go for Staycation package that includes dinner treat like what I experienced.

I will share more about the pricing and details below but please, enjoy my photos because I am literally salivating at the moment.

My drink of choice: Mango Strawberry Shake.  The combination is surprisingly good!

Happy Socks Launch

You know how I love anything Happy and cheery right?
So when Happy Socks came into our local market, I knew these colorful and vibrant socks screams ME!

And thankfully, the company shares the same values as I do --- just like these cheerful, colorful additions to our wardrobe, the company wants to make a world of difference one Happy Socks at a time!

How to be happy the Happy Socks way?

ArtDeco's Fashion Colors Spring/Summer 2015 Emilio De La Morena

A couple of days ago, I get to meet and chat with ArtDeco's Chief Make Up Artist Macedonio Bezerra.  He flew all the way to the Philippines (for the first time) for the launch of Artdeco's Fashion Colors Spring/Summer 2015 Emilio de la Morena collection.

Mace was born and raised in Brazil, landed in the makeup industry at the age of 20 for a Brazilian Brand O Boticario.  Yes, this guy is from Brazil and that explains his charisma and cheerful vibe!

BETADINE® Feminine Wash Encourages Women to do it Twice A Week!

When I was around 10 years old, I chanced upon a book from our old bookshelf entitled "On Becoming A Woman".   Because of my "curiosity NEVER kills a cat" nature, I took that book and read it!  My sister saw me reading it and nearly took the book away but I promised her I'm just looking at the "illustrations" (the book has simple illustrations by the way) but in reality, I was reading the book word-per-word, cover to cover.

As mature as I was for the age of 10, I do understand some of the tips on how to become a woman.  

• Hair and makeup - check
• Nice, crisp outfit that makes you feel comfortable - check
• Confidence - Check
• Dating - Check
• And to take care of your "down under" --- ahhmm... what's that?

And obviously, I kept mum about it and felt it is taboo to ask about this topic from family and friends.  Fast-forward to today, as women are more open and aggressive in terms of their sexuality, career and family life.   I think it is time for me to be open and share to women (even the younger ones reading this post) on how important personal hygiene is!  Good hygiene can definitely add up to women's confidence.  And we talk about good hygiene, aside from the usual hair, face and body care, it is but normal to tackle and focus on hygiene "down there".  

And thankfully, I won't be typing this post away randomly because I recently attended an event that is focused on the utmost importance of Feminine Hygiene.

The #IDoItTwiceAWeek Campaign!

To celebrate modern women, BETADINE® created an event that pampers women from all walks of life!  Women who are more career-oriented and multi-taskers!  Check out good food from the hotel.
