AskMeMom: Who's Your Expert Mom?

My "expert mom" will always be my mama! 

I remembered how she was so cool for us to play outside when we were young and she would let us do freely what we (as kids) love to do!  She's always been the supportive "yet strict" mama everyone would love to have!

The Face Shop Dual Veil Concealer Review

So who loves concealers?  I know I do!  That's one of my favorite step in makeup artistry because I get so challenged!  Especially when it comes to clients coming up to me worried about certain skin issues on their most special day!  I'd wish I could whip out my magic wand and say: "Let me do the magic!"  (But they'll probably find me weird and not hire me in the future!  lol)

So everyday, I try to practice, read and research about various concealing techniques!  So when I saw a Dual Concealer from The Face Shop, I make it a point to grab and test this out! 

I picked this particular concealer when I was online shopping at Althea!  Thankfully, I got the perfect shade! 

Visit Laneige Pop-Up Store at SM Mall of Asia

Over the weekend, I get to check out Laneige's newest location at SM Mall Of Asia!  It was strategically located at the center near Forever 21 and I couldn't be happier!

The place was filled with natural sunlight, so a perfect place to try out testers and pick the right shade of foundation, powder, blush or lipstick!

 Laneige, is known for their skincare products!  The first Laneige skincare product I tried is their Water Sleeping Pack EX, I've used this all throughout my pregnancy (with doctor's approval) and even repurchased!  This is definitely an answered prayer for girls who want to hydrate their skin without the heavy and greasy feel.  

Belo Intensive Whitening Tone Correcting BB Cream Review

So year 2016, Belo up'd their game by creating an instant flawless, no-makeup look in a tube called Belo Intensive Whitening BB Cream.  Given the fact that I have used and tested so many BB Creams, I raised my brows on this because I have this inkling feeling that this product will be "heavy" against my skin.  (That was my judgemental side talking :P)

All thanks to my Sample Room family, I get to try this out amidst all the judgements on top of my head!  So after 2 full weeks of use, I'm ready to share my thoughts.

Note from AMW:  I did a patch test prior to applying this all over my face!  Please do the same if you have sensitive skin.

I look pale, but that's my pale face with a layer of Belo BB Cream

What sets the Belo BB Cream apart from the rest of the BB creams, is the "Conceals as it Whitens" promise.  I know most BB creams have whitening properties but seldom do I find that "whitening effect" even after a year of usage!   (Referring to my Skin79 VIP gold BB Cream)

Everyday Eyeshadow Palette from Cover Girl Bold Shadow Quad

Considering I'm a professional make up artist, you would think I have all the expensive shadows in my vanity table to be used daily right? 

WRONG!

All the expensive brands are in my professional KIT and I am quite simple with my daily makeup look!  So I always go for inexpensive (yet effective) drugstore brands!  And I recently found a good one from CoverGirl Full Bloom Collection!

My default daytime look for the past weeks!

All thanks to CoverGirl Go For The Golds, it is easy for me to create that look in no time!  Let's say, 3 minutes max for both eyes without liner and mascara?  Good enough for a busy girl!
