Lancôme UV Expert CCCover Review

You know how you wish sometimes your favorite SPF (which you heavily invest on) can give you the coverage you need too?

Well, in that case, I've finally found the product under the name of Lancôme UV Expert CCCover.  They invented an innovative sun care range (yes, this product is under the sun care range) to combat the seven environmental factors of the "Exposome" (visible light that leads to skin pigmentation), to help restore our complexion's rosy glow!

I am too excited for words because my make up routine is cut shorter when I use the Lancôme UV Expert XL-ShieldTM CCCover SPF50 PA+++.

There's a new term I mentioned in this post that I feel I had to share to you guys after constant research.  What is "Blue Light"?

New studies confirm that the blue light contained in visible light has a pigment-inducing potential. This high-energy light penetrates more deeply and intensely into the skin than UVB rays, passing through the entire epidermis and dermis.

Secondly, the effects of blue light were compared to UVB exposure. Subjects were exposed to blue light at an intensity of 87.5 J/cm², the equivalent of three hours’ exposure at the height of summer. It was thus demonstrated that blue light causes more intense pigmentation than UVB. This pigmentation is also more long-lasting, as it can persist for up to three months after exposure.

Blue light is therefore indisputably a factor to be taken into account in the fight against skin hyperpigmentation phenomena. 

Riot Girl Complete Set Review

As a professional make up artist, I have an excuse to own a lot of brush sets!  And truth be told, I don't mind adopting more!  Looking back from my very first professional brush set from Suesh and Charm until today, these are the tools of trade I don't mind investing on because they are all well-taken care off and still looks good as new!  

To add up to my "brush babies", a new brand made its noise online called Riot Brushes.  It took a bit of time for me to review these brushes because I had to get over "gushing" on how gorgeous they look!  I knew I had to be impartial so it took me a month to get used to owning such beauty.

Riot Girl Complete Set

Php2,500.00

The Riot Girl Complete Set comes with 6 Face Brushes and 9 Essential Eye Brushes making it a whopping 15 brushes for such an affordable price tag!

At the back of your head, if you think these brushes are too much for personal use, you may try to get the Riot Essential Face Set priced at Php1,450.00 or the Riot Deluxe Eye Set priced at Php1,250.00.  A friendly advice from your trustee AMW friend, go for the Complete Set because brushes never expire and you may never know how much you need them until you use them!

The brushes are housed in a gorgeous chic brown clutch that you may use to store all your Riot brushes, or in my case, I like to use it as my makeup kit!  My Riot brushes are now being used and abused so they don't have the chance to get back in to this lovely clutch.

Starmobile PLAY Max Review

I was recently sent a Starmobile PLAY Max 5-inch for review.  This phone is hailed one of the most affordable big battery smartphone to date!  How affordable?  Priced only at Php3,290.00!  And what do you get?

• 22 hours of talk time and last for 16.6 days on standby.
• Powered by 4000mAH battery.
• 1GB of RAM
• 8GB of expandable storage.
• 8-megapixel rear camera and LED flash.
• 5-megapixel fixed focus front camera with LED flash.
• DUAL Sim

And a whole lot more!

The main question is, does this phone fits my lifestyle as an Active Blogger who is almost 24/7 online?  To use, is to believe!  And I've tested this for a month now and I'm finally ready to spill the beans!

AMW Wears Inglot Lipstick Shade 45

And the result is....

AMAZINGLY RED!

If you are looking for highly pigmented, high shine and super gorgeous true-to-life RED from PAN to lips shade, go for Inglot Freedom System Lipstick in Shade 45.  

My lips are super pigmented and most of the time, the lipstick shade changes upon application, not with this one from Inglot!  

To those who aren't familiar with the Inglot Freedom System, these are sold separately (in square pan) and you can purchase their palette to personalize your choice of shades!  

Inglot Cosmetics are paraben free formula nad are not tested on animals, which is great news by the way!

I own quite a number of Inglot products and so far, the experience has always been positive!
