AMW Reviews: Mary Kay Endless Performance Creme-to-Powder Foundation

So it's Tuesday today and I'm off for several meetings!  God is really good!  So before I go, I'll leave you with a review on my most recent foundation from Mary Kay!  If you have noticed on my previous "photo-torial", I used Mary Kay's newest Endless Performance Creme-to-Powder Foundation because the weather was really hot at that time so I've decided to use the least amount of makeup as possible and the Mary Kay one is cream-to-powder letting me skip a step or 2.  (Concealer and Powder).

After using this product several times, I'm ready to share my thoughts on this.  Please keep in mind that I got this as press sample so this is a "refill packaging" so if you purchase the compact itself, it won't look like this.

2 shades that was sent to me was Ivory 2 and Beige 1.

How To: Prevent Your Lipstick From Transferring

If you are in a hurry, I just included 2 easy steps!  BUT, if you have a minute or 2 more to spare!  I'll add more on the tips portion below!  But for busy mommies like me, this is my simplest and shortest trick to prevent lipsticks from transferring on clothing, mug or other people (ahem!)

Yes, we can all wear a bright red lipstick on a Monday for that instant "boost"! 

Not included in the two steps is your lipstick application!  Just apply your favorite lipstick the way you want to!  Whether it is directly from tube or with a lipbrush --- your choice!

Grab a clean tissue paper and blot your lips.  Imagine, just like your face that tends to oil up and you use oil blotters to deal that situation, same with the lips!  You need to blot your lipstick after application to remove excess "oil" or wax from the lipstick.  If your lipstick is not as bright as you wanted it to be, re-apply second layer and redo the blotting step!

Weekend Food Trip at: Red Kimono

I've tried Red Kimono restaurant at Fort, BGC at the same building of ONE Parkade next to Bon Chon several times because I usually go for "takeaway" whenever I'm out for an event before going home!  When the family accompanied me to a night event, I've decided to take them there to try their food, this time, fresh from the kitchen!  (Not from takeaway box!) 

The restaurant is seldom full but don't judge the restaurant by the number of customers inside.  The food they serve are quite good and the price is okay considering it is located at the heart of BHS Central.

Spicy Salmon Crunch

Php220.00 (approx $5.00)

A fiery roll stuffed and topped with 

grilled Norwegian salmon and Crispy Tempura Flakes

This was actually my request!  I haven't had any "rolls" in Japanese restaurant for quite some time and I missed the version from Teriyaki Boy!  Overall, this version is really good too!  A starter I'll definitely order again.

The Philippine Launch of UNIQLO Baby

When my son was still a baby, I tend to dress him up in cute outfit that would make everyone goes "awwww!" whenever they see him.  But, most of the time, I go for "blah" clothing as long as he feels and look comfortable.  Can't we just combine but cuteness and comfort?

YES we can!  All thanks to the Japanese Clothing and High-Street Brand Uniqlo!  I always find their clothing to be super comfortable so I trust them when they say their Uniqlo Baby Wear are categorized as Class 1 - the safest classification under the Oeko-Tex Standard.  From raw materials used to the finished product, all the clothes made are formalin-free to ensure the health and safety of babies.

I'll share more about those information later on but let me share to you the photos during the launch!

 UNIQLO Baby was formally launched at SM Aura branch last week.  I was right at the nick of time (sorry, long story!)

The event was hosted by Delamar of RX93.1 and she introduced to us the newest addition to the "UNIQLO MOMMY" (I coined that term!  Don't quote me! :P)  Ms. Nikka M. Garcia (the wife of Patrick Garcia) who is now I think 6 months pregnant?

Michael Kors Fragrance and Beauty Collection Launch

You know how it is when you read international blogs and you see them blog about brands that you wish were available here?

Michael Kors is one!  Don't get me wrong, I love their fashion line, especially their watch!  BUT, just like Tory Burch, I wish I could get hold of their makeup, fragrance and nail polish line because, fashion brands who venture into makeup can really come up with unique collection --- because they understand women quite well!

And I'm so happy to say, they are HERE! That's why you are seeing this post!  Oh, can I just say that GOLD works for my skin tone so the packaging deserves 2 thumbs and 2 toes up from me!

During the launch, I got to know about both the Beauty Collection and Fragrance Collection  Here you have Michael Kors' Philippines Brand Coordinator Kimi welcoming the guests.
