Veloci's Holiday Collection --- CAMO

I used to be an active member of MPFA (Military Police and First Aiders) during my junior and senior years.  Part of the training, we have to go through a month plus of physical training during summer both in school and in mountains (Mt. Makiling to be exact).  So yes, I can still do the Rifle drills, the snake crawl, jumping jacks, making sure my belt and pins are extremely shiny using GLO!  I can even do "square meals" and all those deep masculine voice of "HOH!" 

Yes, I went back to memory lane again when I was at the launch of Veloci Holiday Collection --- CAMO.

The event was held at 100 Miles Cafe and upon entering the location, I had this feeling that we are not only attending an event but I have a feeling we'll be doing something both physical and mental activities!  I was pumped!

My Thoughts After Using Himawari Oil In Shampoo and Conditioner for a Month

So you've probably seen or heard about Dear Beaute Himawari Oil In Shampoo and Conditioner from beauty blogs or you've probably seen them on shelves at your favorite Beauty Bar Stores.  

I've received this set a month plus ago and here I am ready to share my thoughts after using both Shampoo and Conditioner for a month!  

AMW Reviews: Etude House Zero Sebum White Sebum Clear

Most awaited review from my "oilieship" :P  Friendships who have oily skin!  *harharhar*

I got the Etude House Zero Sebum White Sebum Clear MONTHS ago and I was just looking for someone to help test this product out.

Now, a long-time AMW reader would know how dry my skin is on a bad day and how "normal" it is on a good day!  I may have a bit of oil from here and there but it was all because of my extra "moisturizing" technique the night before!  So yes, admittedly, my face isn't the perfect canvass to test the Zero Sebum.

Thankfully, I have the ultimate oily-skinned willing guinea pig ..ahem Mr. AMW!  Thanks love! :D 

The packaging is cute, simple white with mint green accent and disregarding the size of the packaging (quite bulky really), I like the fact that it comes with a pump!  YAY!

NUXE Launches in Manila

So I felt like I was transported to Paris, France one Thursday afternoon.
I attended the launch of NUXE Paris in Manila Peninsula.

 

As always, before attending the event, I did a little bit of research myself and learned NUXE was born year 1991 by young entrepreneur Aliza Jabes.  The story is closed to my heart because Aliza created NUXE's first product at the time she was expecting her first son.  She created Huile Prodigieuse (NUXE's Star Product) --- this is the first multi-purpose product designed to take care of all the beauty needs.  This is an oil that can help nourish, repair and soften the face, body and hair!

Something New: Vedette Clay Masks, Peel Off Masks and Mask Sheets

Several years ago, when I came back from China, I bought with me loads of facial mask sheets and powder masks from Watsons and I always prepare a "facial spa" session for my family!  Everyone was giving me this puzzled look because facial masks back then aren't popular at all!

Given a few more years around year 2008 when I started blogging, everyone's been blogging about my now favorite mask brands --- My Beauty Diary, Etude House and Leaders Insolution.  

Now, with all the brands coming up with "at home facial treatment" products, I'm glad we are given more choices!  And looks like I"m adding up another brand to be part of my favorite list!

VEDETTE

The brand is new to the ears because it is indeed quite new even for me!  Vedette is a Vietnamese brand and it has been around for quite some time.  My beauty blogger friends So Loverly blogged about the brand during their Vietnam visit 7 years ago so that gave me an assurance that the brand is quite stable.

Just for reference, the brand does not only offer Mask Sheets but they also have Clay Masks and Peel Off masks!  You can choose depending on the needs of your skin and of course your lifestyle!  I am always a facial mask sheet girl because it is very easy to use and I only have a couple of minutes left before I sleep!  BUT, after trying out the other variant (CLAY), I am starting to fall in love with it because it seems more effective for my skin!  Will share more when you read further down.
