Casual, Day and Night Look Using L'Oreal Color Riche Star Matte Reds

So you guys probably knew by now how I love to play around with my looks by merely changing my lipstick shade?

If you don't...well, I guess the secret is out!

You know how we always think Red Lipsticks are for special occasions, you're probably one of those who blurted out: "I don't look good in Red Lippie!".  Truth be told, I was one of those!  But thankfully, we have a wide range of "reds" nowadays to choose from there will surely be a RED meant for YOU!

L'Oreal Paris Collection Star 3 lipstick shades meant for Light, Medium and Dark skin tone arrived at my desk one day, as much as I would love to showcase 3 different skin tones on my blog, I want to create a different take on how different shades of REDS can be worn by just one person --- YOU.

AMW Reviews: YADAH Auto Lip Crayons

It's Monday today and I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Cheers to good vibes everyone!

And today, I will be sharing a review on a "cute" brand.  When I say "cute", I always think about brands like Etude House or Benefit Cosmetics!  Who would've thought another brand joined in the "cute packaging" bandwagon?

You probably read about Yadah Cosmetics on my first YADAH post.  Aside from skincare, they have a full range of make up line that even professionals can really look into!  ONE product that really caught my attention is their Auto Lip Crayon line!  I "swatched" them during the event and was impressed with the smoothness, creaminess and high pigmentation! 

Today, I will be reviewing 2 shades --- a light and dark shade.

Healthy Food Delivery Review: Fit Food Manila

If you are active on Instagram, you've probably seen celebrities or your favorite Bloggers going for Healthy Meals! 

I want to try them, badly!  Not because I am really into diet, but for the fact that I know I should eat well and get in shape!  It has been 2 years since giving birth so I want to stay active, look healthy and feel good with my body!  

Truth be told, there are days I am not treating myself well, I tend to skip breakfast and just have a cup of coffee, or skip meals because I'm too busy with work!  Such a huge no-no right?  Especially if you're a mom with a super hyper-active toddler.

When a good friend of mine asked me if I wanted to give these healthy meals a try!  I immediately said YES!  As much as I love cooking, there are days I don't want to think about the food I will eat!  And best of all, I want to eat healthy!

For 5 days, I've tried meals from Fit Food Manila.  Fit Food Manila sends delicious low-calorie meals straight to your doorstep the night before for 5 full days! 

True enough, Sunday night at around 9:30pm, a set of food was sent straight to our doorstep with this menu.  I was ecstatic!

Day 1

#PlayForReal with AskMeMom and #KyleNash

What my brother told me, when I was a baby, my mom just leaves me inside the "wooden crib", without any toys, with just a single bear that I hold on to.  

I was the youngest child, with 3 toddlers running around the house without any househelp (yaya), I don't feel bad anymore that I don't have the much-needed attention most babies or toddlers get nowadays!  

You know why?  Because I grew up to be very creative with my existing resources, talent and time.  I may not be the top of the class or the best of the best but I know I've created a tiny spot in this big world.  

I'm sharing this mini  tidbit about myself because over a month ago, I got an invite to #PlayForReal with Johnson's.  Unfortunately, because of my extremely busy schedule with works here and there, I didn't make it.  But Johnson's Baby Philippines was kind enough to send me this set and I got to understand what they are trying to tell moms today.

Creating fun experiences with your kiddos using their sensory organs.  Again, I'm not implying that electronic devices are bad, they aren't!  They are really helpful with my son's learning, but I highly recommend adding the "old school" learning of getting down to your knees using your hands to get dirty! 

Antipodes is Now In The Philippines!

I first learned about New Zealand Organic Brand Antipodes from fellow Beauty Blogger (also a really good friend) Paris B. of My Women Stuff, she's done a lot of reviews on Antipodes products and I can't help but wanting to try them all!  

Thankfully, it didn't take years for me to wait, it's just around a year or so when these landed my desk (literally) via courier one boring day. 

Are they really locally available now?  Thankfully, according to my very reliable source, They are!  Antipodes are definitely HERE TO STAY!

Upon seeing the products, I am most interested with the Divine Face Oil --- under the moisture boost line.  I immediately washed my face and gently massaged the oil mid-day, in between phone calls, research and interviews --- wow!  I was immediately relaxed! 

So as much as I want to use all 3 products at once --- I didn't!   I chose just 1 from the 3 products I got and settled on trying out Divine Face Oil first and added Anada Gentle Toner the week after!  I'll share more about my first impressions after the jump!
