Daytime Purple Lips!

From Max FactorX Lipfinity Long Lasting Lipstick in shade Eternally Luscious.

So how difficult it is to wear purple lipsticks during office hours without having your colleagues giving you that: "Are you going to skip work and party later look?"

I have a good number of purple lipsticks now but most of them are gearing towards nighttime look.  Thankfully, I found a nice color that would work on both day and night!  The shade Eternally Luscious may "sound" a bit too party-ish but the outcome is more of a medium lilac pink shade that works for most skin tones!

If you own MAC Heroine lipstick, the shade is almost similar but 2-3 shades lighter!  The Max Factor version is not too matte, I would say, this lipcolor falls into the demi-matte category giving added moisture and sheen on lips upon application.

 The packaging is very simple!  It comes with a gold packaging that says: "I'm so chic and you love it!"  The only concern I have with regards to the packaging is that the lipstick does not twist all the way down.  If your lipstick is still new, you may end up accidentally touching the lipstick on to the cap, which is a huge no-no if you are an OC gal like me!  It won't be an issue if you used up a quarter of your lipstick!

Kyle's 3rd Birthday at Lucky Rainbow

If we follow my journey as a mom on AskMeMom, you will probably notice I missed mentioning about Kyle's 2nd birthday considering he is my first and only son.  Well, it wasn't because we wanted to make it private, we actually didn't have any celebration for him because Keith's Grandfather passed away a couple of weeks before Kyle's 2nd birthday!  If you are accustomed to Chinese Culture, it is best not to celebrate anything when a close family member passed away.

Now on to the happy story, the 3rd Birthday is finally here!  As much as I wanted to create a big children's party for him, I've decided to go for an intimate "adult" party.  1. Because Kyle Nash doesn't have playmates yet (because he isn't formally schooled yet).  2. Our family is quite small, Kyle's youngest cousin is more than 10 years old!  So technically, the Kiddie party may not be enjoyed my many.

Even with a full-packed schedule, with the help of Mr. AMW, we were able to book a spot at Lucky Chinatown Z Mall, Banawe.  Thanks to Keith's Uncle for helping us book the function room too!

The day finally arrived and looking at the wonderful smile on this little man's face, I knew no matter what our celebration plans are, it will be a memorable one as long as we are complete as a family!

Now, here's my quick review on the food from Lucky Rainbow.  Overall, I am very happy with the service, the location and of course, Z mall has good ample parking spaces so it is also a perfect venue for mini celebrations like this!

We went ahead and told our orders to the restaurant several days before.  We booked 2 tables and everyone came home happy and contented.

My Summer Essentials...because these are HOT!

Can you feel the heat?
I sure can!  As much as I want to turn on our air conditioner in FULL BLAST 24/7, I know I can't handle the electricity bill.  So instead of moping around pitying myself for being a work-from-home mom.  The positive side of me is urging myself to just enjoy the heat!  

And it doesn't hurt that we have summer-related products that I get excited about!  

At a glance.....how do you feel about these?
