Sleek Makeup Highlighting Collection Launch






It was one of those launches I knew I had to get my butt off my home office and muster my courage for at least 2 hour traffic from my place to Makati because Sleek Makeup is launching their Highlighting Collection!

HIGHLIGHTING GUYS!  My magic word when it comes to makeup!


Highlighting for me is like someone carrying a spotlight with you wherever you go!  it's one of crucial makeup routine that makes people say: "Freshness ka ha!"  

Di ka man gorgeous, at least FRESH ka :P

The launch was held at SM Makati and I came in wearing comfortable clothing and almost bare-faced.  The weather was extremely hot that day!

Guerlain Lingerie De Peau Review (02N Light)





Aahh, a foundation for a review.  It's been awhile right?  This time, what makes it even more special is for the fact that I am reviewing a pricier foundation for a change!  Have I been reviewing so many drugstore foundations lately?  Well, I know you gals, you always wanted the inexpensive route but going back to my "note to self", it is okay to spend a bit more on makeup that covers your entire face (aka FOUNDATION).

The Guerlain Lingerie De Peau has earned raves and positive reviews from fellow Beauty Bloggers across the globe.  As always, I seldom just agree with them considering the fact that I'm living in a microwave oven!  *laughs*  As much as I don't like to wear foundation on a daily basis, this is one makeup product that I really depend on during special occasions or when I know I need to look at least half decent that I originally am!

Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Treatment Lotion Mist Review





Who loves facial mist?
Who thinks facial mist are vital in one's beauty regimen?


ME! ME!

I used to think these are just "extra" in anyone's beauty routine until the weather gets extremely hot and humid I can't seem to want to put anything on my skin!  That's when I rely heavily on Mist to hydrate my skin at the same time, give the nutrients it needs on a daily basis minus the "weight".

And the new Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Treatment Lotion Mist came right on time!  When my schedule gets really crazy and all I want is an instant caffeine-fix for the body and GinZing Mist fix for the face!

SAEM Saemmul Luminous Multi-Shading Review





Happy "Luminous and multi-shade-your cheeks" Tuesday!  Yes guys and girls, I understand how difficult it is for you to wake up early in the morning let alone do your makeup!  We want more sleep right?  So I got something to share to you guys for you to look at least "half decent" even with just ONE swipe!  I've recently discovered a Korean brand called Saemmul through Althea and this cheek product seems to be giving me the "healthy glow" I need.

This is a more natural way to contour because the darkest color isn't dark at all!  And if you swirl your blush, the colors just blend so well together it gives your cheeks color, warmth and glow!

Pink Sugar x Project Vanity These Lips Don't Lie Matte Lip Crayons Review




Happy Monday AMW Friends!  I had a productive weekend, was able to host and judge a Nail Art Competition for Girlstuff at the same time, I was able to attend a Baby Workshop hosted by Smart Parenting in collaboration with Pampers.  I am busy!  I just felt it now!  #hahaha

That doesn't stop me from featuring new lip products on a Monday though!  Today, I am proud to announce the collaboration between a Beauty Blogger Friend Liz Lanuzo of Project Vanity with Pink Sugar.

Project Vanity tapped Liz to design beautiful shades that everyone can wear.  And I can imagine the excitement of my Blogger friend because she is indeed a perfect candidate to collaborate with a make up line, someone who is passionate about beauty.


The Result?  
Lip colors wearable by ALL!



These crayons are matte yet creamy and moisturizing in texture.  They've been infused with the usual Vitamin E and Shea Butter and thankfully, they are also highly pigmented like the original version!
