Nuxe First Wrinkles Smoothing Eye Contour Cream and Wrinkles Smoothing Cream Review

I am a self-confessed "turtle" when it comes to skincare products review.  I admit, I take too long of a time to review them because of so many reasons!  But the main ones are ---

• My skin is sensitive, I just can't switch from one skincare products to another.
• I felt bad not using up the current skincare products I'm using.
• The current skincare products work so well on me I just don't have the heart to switch.

Anyone of you feels the same?

Well, until I got 2 products from the Creme Nirvanesque Range called the Nuxe 1st Wrinkles Smoothing Cream and Eye Contour Cream.  It must be the simple and straightforward packaging plus easy-to-read ingredients list that made me go: "Why not give it a shot?"

I'm glad I did because these 2 age-defying products are also perfect as make up base!  I tote these 2 along with me inside my KIT for clients to use too!

Both products are for wrinkle-care!  So it's not too early or late to start using anti-aging products girls!

As we all know, the cause of wrinkles are stress, dehydration and lack of sleep.  There could be some other contributing factors like genetics (I won't get into details on that) but for me, as a mom-always-on-the-go, it is all the top 3 reasons mentioned above that is starting to make me look like my age!  (Oh no talaga! I can see some lines na! Boo hoo!)

AMW Wears Shiseido Maquillage Dual Color Rouge in Cherry Pink (21)

Latter part of 2015, Shiseido Japan released their 10th Anniversary Collection.  I know this because I do my research on make up collections of brands I love from time to time.

Imagine the happiness when I received my very own Shiseido Maquillage Dual Color Rouge 10th Anniversary Lipstick as my birthday gift from Shiseido PH team! (Thanks guys!)  Because of that, I hail this my "2016 Birthday Lipstick"!  

It is not your usual lipstick because it comes with 2 shades, well, 3 to be exact as you get to mix both shades together and get a different color (my favorite!)

I call this an "Instant Fresh Face Lipstick"!  Do you want to check it out how it looks on me?  Read on please!

The AMW Family visits Landers Superstore

Mr. AMW and I had been dating for 11 years before we got married.  So imagine just how many malls, coffee shops and places we visited in 11 years?  LOTS!  Do we get bored?  No, not at all!  Because our preference to "bonding" is similar and very simple.  We are happy even if we just push 1 grocery cart and shop inside a supermarket.

Now that I'm a mom to Kyle Nash, I am NOT surprised how Kyle prefers grocery shopping over toy shopping!  He's more comfortable inside the supermarket as compared to kiddie places!  So when we heard about the newly opened Membership store at Balintawak area called Landers, I had to bring my 2 angels with me!

Landers Superstore Balintawak Quezon City along EDSA just opened its doors to the public on the latter part of June.  I also saw another one in construction at Otis, Manila expected to be completed by the early parts of August.  

I love the feel of the store upon going in.  Natural light goes straight to the food hall and my son was extremely excited and was comfortable enough to run around.

Landers Superstore is similar to S&R Membership Shopping in MANY ways!  But what sets them apart is the gorgeous Dining area called Landers Central.  I love how the seats are more comfortable and spacious.

Sample Room is Heaven-sent Since 2012

I have been a proud member of Sample Room for as long as I remember.  Okay, it wasn't that long but it felt like I was with this family forever!  Sample Room started 2012 and it has been 3 fulfilling years of Trying Before Buying!  If you have been a long time reader of my blog, you'll know how much I wished ALL BRANDS to give consumer (us) chances to try their products before we buy full-size!

And my prayers were answered with Sample Room came about.  With the commitment of empowering consumers through an interactive online community, us, consumers get to find the perfect match when it comes to skincare, cosmetics and other beauty and wellness domains.

Just some of the "happiness in a pouch" I receive every now and then...

Top Contouring Picks from Sephora

So you've probably seen me posted this on my Social Media Accounts.  I was so inspired to create a special blog post for this because I was asked so many times about the 3 Contour/Highlight Powders I got from Sephora.  

First things first, I shopped these online and they were delivered straight to my doorstep in less than 2 weeks.  All the products were bubble-wrapped properly and I got everything in good condition.  So kudos to Sephora team for that.

My picks from Sephora ranging from below Php1,000, below Php2,000 and below Php3,000.
