What's New This Week?

So much to talk about, so little time! 

I recently  stayed more than 2 hours inside the Etude House store and guess what I realized?  It wasn't a good idea when you think you're working but you're actually shopping at the back of your head!  Anyone can relate to that?

So when you check out their website (www.etudehouse.ph) and their physical stores, you'll definitely spot what's in and hot as of the moment!

THE WONDER PORE LINE!

Why does this line reminds me so much of the Wonder Girls?

There are a total of 5 products (or 5 steps) + Mask and I got Steps 3 to 5 and a mask!  Keep in mind that I don't need this product FOR NOW as I don't have obvious pores and I obviously need more anti-ageing products than Pore minimizing!  But who cares?  They are cute, I'm keeping these because I will test this out to my willing victims (ahem..my sister-in-law and Mr. AMW!)

Wonder Pore Tightening Essence

Php998.00

This is a pore essence that tightens pores for smooth and firm pores.

 After applying emulsion, dispense a certain amount and spread gently onto face. 

I will actually take this with me on gigs just in case my client is into Korean products.  I love how "handy" this bottle is and how simple yet catchy the color is!

Happy Skin Shut Up & Kiss Me Moisturizing Matte Lippie and Moisturizing Lip Lacquer Review

Putting both photo together, I realized one thing....
Yeah..I have the exact same smile!  Should I change it?  #hahaha As if I can!

But on to the serious note, I will be sharing a review on my 2 newest Happy Skin Shut Up & Kiss Me "collection".

Now you tell me first which one you like, the left or right photo?  Or both?

I have to be honest, I can't decide!  That's why I'm leaving the decision to you guys!  But seriously, do we really need to choose?  I tend to use the left side shade on a daily basis while the right is for days I want to look simple with an "oomph".

So ready to know which is which?

Right photo facing you: Happy Skin Shut Up & Kiss Me Moisturizing Matte Lippie

 Like I said so many times over my previous reviews on their Moisturizing Lippies --- they are amazing!  (Posts HERE, HERE, HERE HERE)

The challenging part for them, is the fact that they came up with a "Matte" version, their Moisturizing Lippies are amazing on my extremely dry lips!  So I can't help but wonder maybe this time, they'll make a lippie that I won't like!

How To: Wear Pastel Makeup (and not look like a trying-hard-teenager)

If you are reading this post, the title probably caught your attention! :P  

Before you go pointing fingers at me saying I'm trying so hard to look young, well, I'm not! :)  I just have a pastel colored eye shadows that I haven't touched and it's high time I use it and share to my readers who may be a bit beyond 30s (like me...ahem!  Okay, I'm waay beyond 30) and would like to know how to use pastel colored eye shadow without looking like a trying-hard full-blown adult woman trying hard to look like a teenager!

I hope not me! :P

First off...when you plan to wear pastel-colored eye shadow, it is very important to keep the rest of your face clean yet very simple!  Thus, I highly recommend to skip that full coverage foundation and let your skin breathe!  I opted for just a moisturizer, spot conceal key areas like my under eye circles, some redness around my nose and cheeks and set with a powder.

AMW Reviews: Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Foot File

Can I tell you my ultimate secret?

I may seem confident showing everyone on my blog my barefaced but when it comes to my feet, I kinda shy away not showing them as much as possible!  

It all started when we moved to a new home and we had the whole living room turned into a play area for my son!  With play mats taking 3/4 of the living room space, I always find myself running around barefoot!  Obviously, I can't seem to apply any foot lotion because I don't want to slip (yes, I love my back) and my other reason, I don't want my son licking lotion from the mat!  (Yes, he is now on the lick-the-mat-and-see-how-it-tastes-like stage!)

So after a year of constant running around without much TLC for my feet, it turned extremely dry, dirty and .... embarrassingly ugly :( 

It was a wake up call for me when I saw my once sexy feet turned old and dirty looking :(  I am NOT joking when I say it looks dirty no matter how many times I scrub them with a loofah!

To deal with this situation and before my feet situation turned uglier by the day, I bought foot scrubs, foot scrubbing tools and a lot more!  After a month of trying, my feet-situation didn't worsen but the problem didn't go away!  It remained dry, full of lines and dark especially at the heel area.

You can't imagine it right?  I'll show you, but please make sure you are not in any way, eating or thinking about food!  *laughs*

Nothing wrong right?  Well, check the "heel" area, that area gave me the most headache for almost a year now!

DISCLAIMER: My feet are EXTREMELY Clean, I wash them and wipe them with wet cloth so many times a day I can't seem to track anymore!

Something New: NEW Palmolive Naturals Anti-Hair Fall Shampoo and Conditioner

This is my current hair length ....

Quite long right?  And I always start to sing the song: "I hate this part right here..." (by the Pussycat dolls) whenever I pick up my comb to comb through my damp hair.

My hair tends to be all tangled up and several strands of hair are left on both my fingers and wide-toothed comb!  It is normal they say to have at least a 100 falling hair on a daily basis!  But not for me, I may look like I have a lot of hair but there is this particular areas around my head wherein I can literally feel the scalp!  It was actually confirmed by my hairdresser the key area where my usual hair fall is!  

And my close friends would understand why I would go beyond borders just to take care of my hair!  My hair is my pride!  Some women cannot go out without makeup, I cannot go out without at least combing or fixing my hair!

Recently, I received a gift pack from my Sampleroom Family.  It was the NEW Palmolive Naturals Nati-Hair Fall Shampoo and Conditioner and I immediately used it that night and I have been using this pair for 1 full week so I'm ready to share my initial thoughts.
