Isehan Sunkiller Super Lasting Base SPF 50 PA++++ Review

I have been neglecting sunscreen lately and as much as I want to protect my skin from the harsh rays of the sun, the extra step on skincare or make up feels like running around the track!  Seriously, who can take the extreme humidity and heat?

Well, after driving around the Metro getting stuck in traffic with a car tint that isn't too dark, I did see a bit of redness around my skin the night when I removed my make up.  Wake Up Call!  I need to get back and touch my sunscreens again!

Thankful to AMW readers who requested for a product review of the Sunkiller sunscreen I got from BDJ Box Kawaii Box!  Yes girls, believe it or not, I will look like an old hag without your product review requests! :D   So lazy as I want to be, I stuck to the AMW product review rule and went on and apply the Sunkiller Super Lasting Base sunblock for almost a month consecutive (even when I only stay at home!)  Now, I'm ready to share my thoughts! 

     

But seriously, don't you think the packaging is cute and girly?  I love how the name says "Sunkiller" but it looks so dainty and girly!

Sunkiller Super Lasting Base SPF50 PA++++ says ---
This tinted Japanese makeup base has SPF50 protection against skin aging UV rays and uses a blend of hyaluronic acid and collagen to hydrate skin. No worries on looking unnaturally pale upon application because of its natural beige tint. It’s lightweight and keeps skin smooth and matte for 8 hours for longer lasting makeup.

Unboxing BDJ Spring into Beauty April 2015 Box and My Thoughts

You have probably seen several unboxing of the BDJ April 2015 box from other Beauty Blogging sites!  I'm so sorry I'm too late but I have to still post this and share my thoughts.

As much as I would LOVE to say I love this box dearly like most of the BDJ boxes I own, I am on lukewarm water on this month's box because for the fact that I have enough bath products as of the moment!  (Totally not BDJ's fault).

This month's box is called Spring into Beauty, what the team calls, the "secret to overall radiance".  True enough, the contents will help keep your skin radiant because of the presence of exfoliating products, a sample of a BB cream and a highlighting palette.  

I say, it is not enough!  I wish they included at least a sample size of a sunblock or sunscreen! 

But is the box worth it?  As always, it is worth every single cent spent as you get at least 5 full-sized products.

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!

Max FactorX Skin Luminizer Foundation says ---

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.
• Handy pump dispenser

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.
