K-Palette Lasting 2Way Eyebrow Liners are Reformulated and...



LOWER PRICE!
How can you top that?

From Php950.00, they each cost Php895.00!  And they added 2 new shades which I really love!

The original shades are L-R Light Brown and Natural Brown, they added Mocha Brown and Grayish Brown!



  • Light Brown is perfect for light haired gals like me!  This is my favorite shade to date.
  • Natural Brown is perfect for those who has natural brown hair.  Or maybe, you had your hair colored but is still close to your original hair color!
  • Mocha Brown is perfect for redheads!  I used to mix Light Brown with a bit of a reddish brown shadow whenever I do brows on my client who has red hair, now I don't have to!  
  • Grayish Brown on the other hand is perfect for users who never color their hair!  For hair that has a natural dark-black tint, this is perfect!  As a makeup artist, this shade is heaven sent for mature clients who seem to lack brows and wanted a naturally-drawn brows!

Innovation Meets Skin Care with Aesthetique Solutions




When I first heard about "Microdermabrasion Device" at the palm of my hands, I was really skeptical and even told the person who invited me how scared I am to try such product because of my overly sensitive skin.  The most I did to my skin is once or twice a week Exfoliation using my Mary Kay Skinvigorate Cleansing Brush.

As much as I nearly said "NO" in attending this launch, I was also intrigued to know what this is all about!  I mean, I am a Beauty Blogger who wants to know what's up and about in the market, I might as well go and see what the product can do for me or for my friends and family!

Tony Moly Petite Cotton BB Cream SPF36 PA++ Review



So I have the Tony Moly Petite Cotton BB Cream SPF35 PA++ in Honey Beige for quite some time and I honestly have been raving about this BB Cream for this specific brand and imagine my surprise when I realized I haven't posted any review yet!

This BB Cream is a "Delight" to use because of the light texture, super simple yet practical packaging and ---- PERFECT Shade Matching considering this is a Korean brand! (Yes guys, I don't look too pale or white here!)

Thankfully, they also have a Dark Beige variant so users who have darker complexion can FINALLY try a Korean Brand BB cream!

Working Mom Tips




Whenever I meet friends, they would always tell me: "You are doing so much!  How do you find time?"

I usually give them this exasperated look and tell them: "I don't sleep!"   But now, as I'm sitting in front of the computer while my son is sleeping soundly with my favorite Leaders Insolution sheet mask plastered on my face, I'm doing quite good!  I'm actually enjoying this roller coaster ride called MOTHERHOOD!

Now, don't get me wrong!  Don't compare me to other moms who have more than 1 kid!  They are definitely my hero!  My idol!  So please look at this post as a Motherhood Guide 101 --- nothing fancy, complicated or scienfitic!  Just a newbie mom who learned something through 3.2 years of motherhood and I'm sharing what I learned through the years because I think I'm doing quite a good job!  *pats on my back*

A little background about me to newbie readers.  I'm a hands-on mom with a Day Job and multiple side jobs.  My freelance jobs include --- Make Up Artistry, Make Up Training to Various Brands and AMW Workshop Series, a Brand/PR Consultant.  Adding to that is my day job as a Consultant in an Executive Search firm.

Now how hands-on am I as a Hands-on Mom?  I spend more than 50% of my time with my son!  If I work from home, jump it up to 80-90% of my time!  I co-sleep with my son, bathe him everyday, cook for the family, play with him and teach him (if he's in the mood for learning) and I am also his favorite toy!  --- yes guys, I'm an ANIMATED mom and I'm proud of it!

And yes, I do all these in 24 hours, there are days I can't complete a task but most of the time, I sleep with a big, contented smile on my face.  So if I can do it, you can definitely do it too fellow mommies!

AMW Wears: Maybelline Rosy Matte by ColorSensational




So NUDES are really in huh?  And I'm talking about Lipsticks! 
Maybelline's powerful lip franchise Color Sensational went crazy over colors early this year!  You don't believe me?  Take a look at my lip swatches on the previous Velvet Matte by ColorSensational line.

As much as I'm very much impressed with bold lip statement, the high pigmentation, creamy matte formulation that glides on lips like a  dream, there are days I just want the "girl-next-door" look.  Thankfully, Maybelline came up with their Rosy Matte by Color Sensational and by far, my favorite line of all!

There are a total of 5 worthy shades to choose from ----
Out of the 5, I immediately got drawn to shade number 3, 4 and 5 (from left).  But a decision cannot be made without wearing them!  And I'll tell you if I made the right choices!
