AMW Reviews: Mary Kay Liquid Eyeliner Pen

The hunt for the easiest liquid liner to use for first-timers continues...
And I think I found a possibility in the name of Mary Kay Liquid Eyeliner Pen.

I have tested this product out for months so I have a feeling I'm almost "hitting the pan" so I guess I am 100% ready to share my thoughts on this.



Mary Kay says ---
This innovative eyeliner combines the ease of a pencil with the definition of a liquid for precise, no-mess results.
  • Easy to line, creating looks from delicate to dramatic.
  • One-step, smudge-proof, no-mess application.
  • Glides on without skipping, pulling or tugging.
  • Creates fuller-looking lashes.
  • Long-wearing, flake-proof water-resistant formula.

AMW Reports: Benefit VIP Party with Jared Bailey + Limited Edition Holiday Brow and Lash Service




When Jared Bailey, exactly 1 year after, visited the Philippines again, the Benefit girls made sure to invite us to their exclusive private party!  This was held at Vask Curve last November 3, if it covers Brow topics plus meeting the Global Brow Authority, I knew I had to be there!


As always, Benefit events are fun and unique!  Upon arrival, our photos were taken and we get to try their Limited Edition Holiday Brow and Lash Service.  Remember last year's "BLING"?  Well, this year, they are bringing it back this time giving both brows and lashes the royal treatment.

You can choose between ---
Brilliant Brows - an eye-catching set of Swarovski crystals to illuminate and lift the brow.
Pop o' Previous - A solitary Swarovski crystal for a subtle sparkle.
or  Flashy Lash - A shimmering set of Swarovski crystals to light up the lash line.

Eureka Moment: Crown Pro Blending Fluff Brush and Pro Domed Blender Brush




Dear AMW Friends, 
I've been quiet for a long time on make up brushes because..you guessed it right!  I have enough brushes to prettify 10 people without the need to wash them because I have back-ups!  And all of them are well-taken care off so I don't have the need to purchase new brush sets anytime soon.

Not when I laid my eyes on the Crown Brushes!  It was during the CBeauty event where I met Cristina Madara when I got to touch and feel Crown Brushes for the first time.

Yes, I've read positive reviews online but knowing the fact that I have to order online from US and have to wait for months for these brushes to arrive, I told myself I can get away without them.

NOT UNTIL I TOUCHED THEM!  Especially the Pro Blending Fluff Brush and Pro Domed Blender Brush!  I knew I had to get them, and now, I am thinking about purchasing backups because they are THAT good!

So...EUREKA MOMENT!

Crown Brush Pro Blending Brush
Php475.00 (approx $10.55)

I have enough eye blending brushes that I can really tell which ones are the good ones and which ones not worth a single centavo!  The best I've used is so far from MAC!  The MAC 217 Blending Brush!  I had to purchase 2 in Hong Kong because this is the perfect blending brush for me and for clients who have small lid space! 

As soon as I purchased the Pro Blending Brush from Crown, I am happy to announce, this definitely is the BEST blending brush I've tried!  No kidding!


It has the same "density" the MAC 217 brush has and actually shaped in a dome that is perfect to create "fake crease", create depth on your eyes or just simply blend out harsh edges!  This is a natural-haired brush that isn't scratchy even after several washes.  And best of all, the brush hairs are even better packed than the more expensive ones so this is a life-saver even for first-time eye makeup wearers.  This brush can turn you from newbie to pro!  My blending skill turns up a notch because of this brush!

AMW Wears: Maybelline Velvet Matte by ColorSensational

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
I had a lovely weekend with the family and having a bit of "Me" time at the salon.  Will share more about my experience soon on the blog.

Today, start of the week, I want to share some "colors" to jumpstart our week!  Bright colors that can hopefully make our day!  Because I believe wearing the right shade of lipstick or gloss that makes you look and feel good is worth a try to keep that Monday Blues away.

You've probably seen this photo on my Instagram account weeks ago!  It took me until now to share this post because I technically wore all these shades one day at a time to be able to come up with a sound conclusion, will share more about my conclusions at the end of the post, for now, indulge yourself in the Maybelline Velvete Matte Lip Color shades that I currently own.
