New Zoya Professional Lacquer Shades I'm Loving!

My nails are back!  Well, not really!  I haven't been posting much about nail polishes ever since I had a baby is because for the fact that I'm making sure whatever I put on my fingernails are safe not only for myself but for my kid!  

There are only a few safe brands of polishes left that I really wear on a daily basis, you all know my love for GirlStuff, Solique and now I'm sharing to you my next safe polish brand fave --- ZOYA.

If you are expecting or breastfeeding, this is a polish brand I also highly recommend.  Zoya Nail polishs are free from Big 5 (Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene and Camphor.)

And just in case you want to know my current favorite shades for the season...here you go...

L-R Hunter, MIA and Dream

Let's start with my top most favorite shade out of the 3.

Make Up For Ever x Icona Pop Lipstick Line

According to Dany Sanz, Founder & Artistic Director of Make Up For Ever ---

"Lipstick is to makeup what the last brush stroke is to painting... the ultimate, perfectly contained touch of color that completes the work of art.  And just like in art, makeup artists need an infinite palette of colors.  This is why I have developed such a wide range of new ARTIST ROUGE lipsticks, I always want to give makeup artists a profusion of shades and textures to sublimate and create their perfect piece of art."

Thank you so much Ms. Dany!  You pulled an arrow straight to my heart!

That's how Mikki and I felt when we saw the Artist Rouge Lipsticks all lined up in front of us to play, swatch, mix and match!

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".

Tony Moly Ferment Snail Lip Treatment Stick Says ---

• 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!
