Ready, Set, Glow with Watsons and AMW!



If you can see my dark undereye circles peeking through concealer and foundation --- please, do not judge me!  I have a full packed 24-hour day!  I get approximately 4-5 hours of sleep (max) with wakeups in between to check my son!  "I have a jam-packed day" is definitely an understatement.  I almost need to schedule my shower time let alone have a me-time like this!

All thanks to Watsons Philippines for appreciating women like us who are juggling multiple tasks.  Just in time for the Women's Month, Watsons rolled out a "Glow With Wellness" Campaign and me and my fellow multi-tasking ladies were there to learn more about this campaign as we get pampered!

Kate Double Eyelid Remake Liner - Best Product to Define Your Crease




If you watched enough Youtube makeup videos and read enough makeup blogs, you probably mastered the art of creating defined crease or how to create fake crease from scracth.

Aside from makeup, we can also create fake crease or defined crease with the help of eyelid tape or glue.  (Ex. K-Palette Real Lasting Mega Cute Double Eyelid Glue and Tape)  Some of you may think the effect could be unnatural or it is just too much of a hassle to apply, TADAH!  I'm sharing one of the EASIEST way to define your crease with just a SINGLE STROKE! 

Hail to KATE Double Eyelid Remake Liner!
Available in 1 color only
Php550.00 (approx $11.70)

When I first got this, I almost tossed this aside because who would like to draw a fake line on top of your current crease?  The effect will definitely be a major "makeup disaster".  So just for fun, I "Snapped" (using SnapChat) a video of me using this for the first time.

And I was floored!!!  Now before sharing photos, let me start by sharing more details about the product.

Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Nourishing Facial Water Review



Half a month ago, I attended the launch of Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Nourishing Facial Water under the Intense Hydration line.  Without a doubt, you all know this line is made for me --- normal or sometimes combination skin with dry patches.  So I immediately injected this to my current skincare regimen!  After half a month, I'm ready to share my initial thoughts.

Now a quick question for you my dear readers, who doesn't like hydration in a form of water?  Well, companies are finally understanding the need of consumers for products that are close to nature --- aside from the fact that it feels like "water", the IH Nourishing Facial Water is 99.0% natural which gave me that instant attraction!

POP Beauty Pop-Art Look


So you all know how much I enjoyed the "natural pop" I get from using Pop Beauty Pop Your Natural Beauty Honey Haze palette. on my previous post.  Today, I'm creating more POP-Art-like pop using my NEW Pop Beauty Products.

Okay, that's a lot of "pop" in one phrase!

Spot the difference?
