AMW Reviews: Artistry Ideal Radiance Illuminating CC Cream

You know how I am when it comes to anything that brings out "radiance".  I test them out almost immediately!  Whether it's a BB cream, CC Cream or even a Skincare line!

Same goes with the new Artistry Ideal Radiance tube that I got a few months ago.  Now what is Radiance and what is Ideal Radiance?

Will answer that later!

So the ultimate test is here!  This was launched around April of this year!  This product, like most CC creams work as skincare and makeup in one!

Looking at the printed side of the packaging, it must be made in Korea to have Korean wordings.

AMW Reports: My First Family Portrait with Pampers

Can you spot the familiar-Family portrait that I grabbed from Pampers website?

Yes!  The AMW family!  You also get to see Shen's family too! (upper right hand side).

You know how I am so into taking photos on my phone on Kyle's EVERY move!  As much as I have all his facial expressions saved in my laptop, I always choose the best ones and have them printed out and displayed in our living room and bedroom.

AMW Reviews: Benefit Porefessional License to Blot

As much as I love Benefit Cosmetics so much!  The POREfesssional line really is not for me!  you probably know by now why!

No?  Well, to newbie readers, I have combination Normal/Dry skin.  So yes, as my sister will probably gasp with this statement: "I almost do not need to retouch midday!" and "My face powder lasts me more than 3 months because I use it only once a day!"

#ChroniclesOfADrySkin

So if you think I am not as excited as my oily-skinned friends when Benefit POREfessional License To Blot came to the market --- you are wrong!   Why?

Because I highly depend on Benefit POREfessional Balm on most of my clients and I finished 3 full sized tubes in a year!

The POREfessional Agent Zero Shine is also a nice setting powder so I seriously didn't think a new product from this line will pop out!  Like what else can Benefit think of right?

You know Benefit Cosmetics, when I got to know the brand last year during my Press Trip in San Francisco, I knew this brand never sleeps!  They are always thinking about new innovation and not just new!  New and UNIQUE!  

So the License to Blot was born!

What can this nifty product do?

How to: Catwalk to Sidewalk Makeup

Tuesday Choose Day!
I choose to look a bit pretty today with the help of make up!  You know what?  I saw a couple of posts on my Facebook wall on how men dislike women who wear make up!  Well, I'm sorry guys!  We "confident" women wear make up not for YOU but for ourselves!  We want to look and feel good because that's how we are!  Well, to some who wants to look good for the opposite sex using make up...well, that's their thing!  So kebs kebs lang! :D

In short, I just typed in a whole useless paragrah!  Hahahah

Seriously, after creating a "brow tutorial using brow pencil", I got inspired to create a makeup look that I can't seem to create a name for it!  So, my usual crazy self would echo: "Catwalk to Sidewalk Look". 

In short: From Glam makeup to everyday "wearable" makeup look!  You guys know me pretty well, I am all for creating simple makeup looks that would enhance your beauty --- not by covering it with make up!

I will skip brow tutorial as I just recently posted one!  Feel free to create any brow look that you feel would match your face shape!

AMW Reviews: L'Oreal Revitalift Magic Blur Instant Smoother Anti-Aging Moisturizer

The first L'Oreal base primer that I tried was called L'Oreal Base Magique (click link for past review).  To be honest, the Base Magique is quite nice it actually went into my makeup kit for clients who aren't allergic to silicone based primer!  

Whenever I pass by L'Oreal counters and ask for Base Magique and the SA would have a blank look, I knew it won't be available ever again in the local scene!  So when I was invited to attend to the Magic Blur launch (which I wasn't able to go by the way), I knew the product must be promising or at least, it could be the better version of my favorite Base Magique!  Or was it?

When you just read the product description, you'll know this is not just a primer, the Revitalift Magic Blur is a Primer and Moisturizer in one!  Why do I say so?  Well it has Opti-Blur technology and Pro-Retinol A --- Retinol is a major ingredient used for its' anti-ageing properties.

That obviously excites me!  A primer and a moisturizer in one!  That would be perfect!
