The Solique by Girl Stuff Ultimate Test

Dear readers, I'm sure you knew by now how I played a huge role during the launch of Solique By Girl Stuff Gel Polishes.  

Yes, I helped out in conceptualizing the Blogger/Media Event and I was even the host during the grand launch!

So you are probably expecting me to tell you just to BUY Solique by Girl Stuff just because it is the greatest Gel Polish on earth right?

Of course I won't!  I am still typing this post as the usual AMW --- the ultimate product tester because I believe you guys deserve to know the truth about all the products I've tried and used!

Now let's get started.

Solique by Girlstuff is a Revolutionary formula combining the benefits of polish and gel.  For this collection, they came up with 6 gorgeous shades and a Gel Top coat. 

AMW Reviews: The Face Shop Oil Control Water Cushion (V201 Apricot Beige)

Guess what?  I was indeed very excited when I got The Face Shop's Oil Control Water Cushion as part of my BDJ Elite Box recently and I road-tested it right away.  

I missed hovering around TFS looking for what's new and hot!  I haven't been going out just to "shop" nowadays due to my intensely busy schedule but I am so happy God gave me ways to still be up-to-date with the things I love to do --- trying and testing out skincare and makeup products.

For my type of skin, I believe "Cushion" type of foundation is a key for that dewy finish.  I've tested out a couple and this one I believe is the most unique because most cushions I used caters normal and dry skin while this one from TFS is said to work even for oily-skinned users due to its' "Oil Control" function and yet, still moist enough even for my skin type!

AMW Reviews: Nature Essentials Pure Natural Beauty Organic Hydrating Matte Lipsticks

You guys understand by now how I appreciate "organic" makeup especially when I turned into a mom!  I know some mommies would go bare-faced when they are with their babies or toddlers because most makeup contain chemicals and we don't want that near our kids right?

Since I want to be close to my son at the same time look decent, I chose to wear makeup still but I lean towards Organic makeup products. 

If you are a long-time reader of my blog, you know Burt's Bees and Yadah made it to the cut!  I always choose those brands whenever I have bonding moments with my son.

Thankfully, I found another brand to add to the list.  Nature Essentials Pure Natural Beauty.

After a bit of research, I learned Nature Essentials won several awards in terms of Outstanding Natural Skin Care Products Consumers Choice Awards, Best Moisturizing Soap Brand, Best Natural Skin Care Provider and a whole lot more!  

Wow, I'm impressed!

AMW Reports: Pink Sugar Launch

You guys have probably been seeing Pink Sugar all over Instagram, Facebook and Blogs.  You know what?  Can't blame US!  The launch last October 15th at Stella Woodfire Bistro was crazzzzyyyy!!!  Crazy in a very good way because girls (and boys) who are into makeup and colors unite for an afternoon of unlimited SWATCH FEST!

Wherever you turn, you see sweets, and testers EVERYWHERE!  The Beauty Blogger in me was in panic because I only have 2 hands and arms to swatch on to!  I wish I can swatch on my legs!  (not joking)  

Judging by packaging, you would think Pink Sugar Cosmetics is an international brand --- well, it could  be in the future, but for now, all I can tell you is that Pink Sugar is home-grown!  Aside from the cute and girly packaging and catchy names, what sets Pink Sugar apart from maybe 80% of other makeup brands are the distinct ingredients that benefits our skin.   I am happy to announce that Pink Sugar Cosmetics is free from animal testing and all their products are made without Parabens.

Which Burt's Bees Lip Balm Should You Pick?

If you are a long-time AMW reader, you'll know that I am always on a hunt for good lip balms that would work for my extremely dry lips condition.  One of the many brands I've tried AND LOVED is Burt's Bees!  

I would call myself a Burt's Bees Balm-pert (Balm Expert) because I've used all their variants and can actually distinguish which variant would work best for which lip condition.  But keep in mind this is based on my personal experience so feel free to share your favorite Burt's Bees Balm Variant and tell us how you like it.

First of all, I want to thank my Sample Room family for sending these to me because I really need to stock up on lip balms I finish them so fast I always need backups!
