Tony Moly Ferment Snail Lip Treatment Stick Review

Happy Rainy Start of the Week AMW Friends!  Please stay safe and dry!
Today, I will be sharing a lip treatment stick I've been using for weeks now, this is from Tony Moly.

The name is called Ferment Snail Lip Treatment Stick, the reason why I picked this up even if I have loads of lip treatment (backups) at home is because of the word "Snail".  Snail is quite huge in Korean Skincare and beauty regimen nowadays, so I can't help but pick one up because of the name!  And seriously, it sounds weird but this could be the answer to my "super chapped lips problem".

• Gold tea ferment snail extract gives moisturized and healthy lip care 
• Mild on sensitive skin
• SPF 13 protects lip from sun

AMW x Dynamic Youth Workshop Series: Makeup 101 with Nikki Tiu

Dear Lord:
Thank you so much for making my dreams come true!  I cannot ask for more but just guidance and wisdom for me to continue doing what I love to do.

Amen

That prayer stands true, I thank God each and every day on the blessings I receive after I announced the launch of AMW Workshop Series last February 2016.  Who would've thought I've done a total of 4 workshops for this year?  And a 5th one coming up before the year ends!  And one Filipino-Chinese association Dynamic Youth, Inc. partnered with AMW Workshop Series to create 2 workshops for their members.

This poster was printed and posted at Liberty Hall, Buenavidez.

"Dynamic Youth Inc, a non-profit organization, founded in 1954 has a goal of promoting and maintaining the Chinese culture and language among the Filipino-Chinese youths by sending them to a study tour every summer, and officially inducting them as members of the community after the tour. With more than 10,000 members all over the archipelago, Dynamic Youthcontinues to be bonded by charitable projects to share our blessings to the less fortunate, and also fun activities like basketball, photography classes, badminton, zumba classes and more. In line with this, Dynamic Youth has decided to partner up with Ms. Nikki Tiu to hold make-up classes for our members who want to learn the how-to's of proper make-up application."

It was held 2 Sundays of July and it was one experience I will NEVER forget.

My Talk on My Biogenic World: Playtime Discoveries

Dear AMW friends!

Remember the "invite" I posted last time?  Well, time flew by pretty quickly and look!  It's already Mid-August and the My Biogenic World Playtime Discoveries event was held last July 30 and 31!  It seems just like yesterday when I was having cold feet because it was a FIRST for me to talk about "motherhood" on stage!  Particularly at the Activity Area of Market! Market! which, by the way, is HUGE!

This is how the Floor Plan looks....

And the real thing!  I had goosebumps seeing this!

Benefit BROWVO! Conditioning Primer Review

Thank God for my "brow genes" because they always look full even without applying much brow products!  BUT, as a make up artist, one challenging "Brow Issues" I always get from clients is: "How to make my brows appear fuller?"  

It was a blessing to make up artists like myself when Benefit came out with Gimme Brow, I have mentioned in this blog, on workshops and in person (to clients) so many times that it is my ultimate faking "full" brows secret!  

BUT, the thing about Gimme Brow is that I can't seem to use it or depend on it for clients who already have full brows BUT sparse on some areas, or maybe, full brows but each brow hair has a mind of their own!  

Benefit's Biggest Brow Collection this year 2016 covers ALL brow issues, and one of my issue was solved!  With the newest Benefit BROWVO! Conditioning Primer!

And adding to my requirements, this is also a Brow Primer, meaning, whatever brow products I put on client will last LONGER!  Double YAY!

My Current Hair Situation

Dry, blah, wild and crazy!

Yes, those are just some of the adjectives to describe my current hair situation!  I've done Balayage  ala Hairshaft-style 2 months ago and because of my extremely busy schedule (Kyle Nash going to preschool and all), I can never sit inside a salon for longer than 2 hours because seriously, who has time for that if you have so much stuff to do?

BUT, on rare days like an event at Podium where Hairshaft is located, I rushed to the extremely busy and packed salon after Watsons Kiss Aging Goodbye event.  Thankfully, they accommodated me even with a full house!  

As much as I'm tempted to have my Balayage refreshed or maybe change a new hair color, I just had to go for what I really need!  A hair treatment (for my parched hair) and another session of Brazilian Blowout because I can literally see some "frizziness" creeping through from my roots!  (Not a good sight guys!)

Now looking back at my most recent Hairshaft visit post, naka-red din pala ako nun!  Why do I have this tendency to wear red everytime I visit the salon?  Must be the excitement?  Or maybe I just want to belong!  (check out their wall in this photo)

That day, Ian was the one who assisted me, he has amazing massage skills!  All my tension knots were gone in an instant after just a few minutes of back massage!  Thanks Ian!
