The Beauty Rush with Etude House, Tony Moly and Leaders Insolution




How does it feel like to attend a Beauty Rush event (a.k.a. Amazing Race minus the running?)
Well, count me in!  And what makes me even happier?  To attend an event at Lucky Chinatown Mall!

Firstly, the mall is one of my favorite because you get everything there -- food, toys, clothes, tech products etc...
And secondly, the mall is 20 minutes away (with Moderate traffic)!

That's why I had a huge grin there with my partners #TeamTiara


I was invited by the good folks from AGC and the hosts Marj Sia and Nicole Romero.  The fun Beauty Rush started at Yoree Korean  BBQ Dining for lunch but as much as I LOVE Korean Food and wouldn't want to miss this!  I declined because Lucky Chinatown is so near to me and I had to look after my son in the morning so yeah, tummy aside --- son first!  Heard from the girls how yummy the food were!  Ugh...next time!

Unboxing of: BDJ May 2015 Kiss Dry Goodbye Box

As the box goes "Kiss Dry Goodbye".  It old myself: "This is MY box!"  I am claiming it because you all know how dry my hair is, how dry my face is, how dry my skin is ---- yes, I'm a dry dude!  So as I excitedly opened BDJ's May box, I do have very high expectations!  (kayo kasi, laging super ganda ng box my expectations are getting higher by the month!)

TADAH!
My eyes gravitated towards a full pack of Nivea Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes (Hooray!)  and the Dermal Face masks!  Then my mind went blank....there are quite a number of products or brands I haven't seen or heard off!  

Aloe Derma --- Check!
Himawari --- Check!

Oh, 2 brands lang pala! :P


According to BDJ, this month's box is all about using the right hair treatment, wash your body for that silky, smooth fell.  As you step out of the shower, we are expected to show off that white pearlies!  Then, a good scrub and facial products won't hurt for a healthy, fairer skin.  And of course, they added 1 makeup product (a blush) to achieve natural flushed face!  

As much as the box goes Kiss Dry Goodbye, I want to call it --- Kiss Summer Goodbye!  Because the rainy season is here and the products in the box are there to help revive the "lost summer"! 

EB Advance Supreme Lipsticks Review




Hi AMW Friends!
Today, I will be reviewing an inexpensive lipstick brand that most of us Beauty Enthusiasts probably started out with before we go spending crazy on high-end brands!  I personally haven't tried lipsticks from this brand, not because I'm a brand snob, but because I usually invest on lipsticks that I use for clients.  So I'm not the brand snob --- my clients are!   *hahahaha*  Just joking.  

But seriously speaking, even for a drugstore brand, I don't mind including them inside my train case AS LONG AS they deliver, the quality is extremely good, and it passed my gruesome product "test". :P  

Will EB Advance Supreme Lipsticks be included in my professional kit?  We'll see....

The EB Advance Supreme Lipsticks may sound or look familiar, because they are made by the company Ever Bilena.  I've had so many request to do a review on this brand particularly the lippies because I was told they are extremely good!

How to Prevent Undereye Make Up from Creasing



Hi AMW friends!  Happy Hump-Day!
I have a quick tip for you guys!  Really quick I promise you!
Don't you dislike it when you apply your foundation, concealer and set it with a nice loose powder and midday, you find your under-eye area creases and dries up? 

Well, after several practice on various clients, I've found a way to deal with this situation!

Instead of putting up Steps 1-10, what I'll be doing now will be totally different from normal tutorials or "tips" blog post.  Because I will tell you to UNDO one step.

After your skincare routine and when you are doing your BB Cream, CC Cream or Foundation routine (cream and liquid), skip application on the undereye area.

How to Prevent Undereye Make Up from Creasing
 YES!  You read that right, SKIP application on that area and apply your favorite BB cream or foundation all over your face (or wherever coverage is needed) skipping the undereye area.

Let me tell you why!

#RemoveYourMakeupMovement with TBS + Giveaway


After the fun and successful workshop with The Body Shop last Saturday.  I've decided to create a post on the Camomile Cleansing Range which I highlighted during the workshop!  I hope the participants didn't feel like I'm hard-selling them (because truth be told, I wasn't paid to say good things about any of the products mentioned during the workshop).  I just realized how much I am in LOVE with this range I've decided to share my thoughts and review on each product from the Camomile range in this blog post because I'm sure some of you who weren't able to attend are quite intrigued with the said range.  And as you all know, it is very important for me (personally and professionally) to highlight makeup removal before going to bed --- because that is my ultimate secret to having good and healthy skin!

So before I remove all my makeup from a day's worth of activities --- makeup + dirt + oil, I have to be honest, I did a bit of powder retouch so I don't look too stressed from the day's busy activities --- here's my day time makeup look before removal.


Now hold on to that photo (above) because I will share to you first the products that I've used from the Camomile range.  I don't use all 4 products at the same time, I use each product depending on my mood and depending on what type of makeup I used!  I will share in-depth thoughts and reviews on each product as you scroll down!
