AMW Wears: L'Oreal Color Riche Collection Star Velvet Pinks

Not everyone can wear Pink Lipstick!  That's what I used to say!  Because pink really looks weird on me at times, especially the bright ones!  

Thankfully, one giant cosmetics company --- L'Oreal, came up with a blooming pink lipstick collection for every Filipina's skin tone!  The line is under our favorite Color Riche Collection Star Velvet Pinks!

Guess what?  I wore them all!

Have you found a favorite?

 L-R Jasmine, Primrose, Iris, Nymphea, Fuchsia, Rose Lotus and Camelia

Housed in the previous Collection Star Collection - black tube with the lipstick shade featured in front so you don't have to open the tube every single time!

Weekend Food Trip at: Banapple Pies and Cheesecakes

We have tried to dine-in at Banapple for the longest time!  They're always packed and my whole family can't seem to wait each time we visit there!  A couple of weeks ago, my very good friend came from the US for a vacation and we decided to take her out for a shopping trip at Robinsons Galleria!  All of us didn't have a decent lunch and it was mid-afternoon already!  So it was a good timing to finally get a good seat at Banapple!  We wanted feel-good-food at the same time good for her kiddos too!

Lasagna Roll-Ups

Tony Moly Panda's Dream Collection Launch

When I visited the nearest Tony Moly Store at Lucky Chinatown Mall a few weeks back, I can't help but pick a couple of products from the Panda's Dream Collection, the packaging calls for my name even if most of the products I picked are really not part of my shopping list !  So packaging definitely plays a big role in MY makeup shopping!  How about you?

Then I got an invite from Tony Moly for the official launch of the cutest collection to date, Panda's Dream!  And the set up at One Shangri-la Place was definitely loaded with cuteness!

What makes it even cuter?  Pastries from Boulangerie22!  

A Girl Can Never Have Too Many Lipsticks

NEVER!

That's were most of us started when we get into the world of colorful cosmetics!  I remembered playing my mom's "small lipstick" collection and wondered when I will have my own!  I remembered puckering up even if it's just a plain lip balm because I feel so "Dalaga" doing so!

So yes, I can honestly say, even with basket-full of lipstick at the moment, I always tend to pick another one!  Why?  Because it is the easiest way to transform one's look without much effort!  And do you agree with me when I say: "You look and feel really good if you are wearing a lipstick shade that works for you?"  

Last week, at SM Makati, SM Beauty showed to ALL lipstick lovers out there how they understand our journey of discovering the many possibilities of lipstick.  With the help of the Beauty Brands available locally, there were so many activities for attendees to enjoy that day!
