My Kanebo Selection Colors Eyeshadow + Moisture Rouge Look





I know when it comes to makeup, there's no rules!  But at times, I actually like to use just ONE brand on major areas on my face --- like for Kanebo's case, I went for eyeshadows and lipstick from the same brand because, why not?

I recently got the Kanebo Selection Colors Eyeshadow Palette in 01 Cool Monotone and Kanebo Moisture Rouge in shade 05 Core Red.  These 2 are perfect to create a simple daytime look and can even work for night time!  

I can create so many looks in just one palette but this is the easiest and simplest way using most of the shadows in the palette too!

There are a total of 3 palettes in the newly launched collection (01 Cool Monotone, 02 Stylish Brown and 03 Gently Pink).  I got the perfect palette because this shade gives me the "oomph" without looking too made up.

Happy Skin x Disney Limited Edition Makeup Launch




Even in my 30s, I have to admit, I still watch Disney Movies because I feel so good deep inside.  Especially Disney's Iconic Princesses like Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, and who could forget Frozen?

The list could go on because deep inside, I believe all women are Princesses!  We deserve to be treated as one too!

Dearberry Lip Service and Flirt Lipsticks Review



Start of the week once again and I am claiming Monday to be a Lipstick-choice day!  I enjoy sharing my lipstick find on a Monday because this is my ultimate "I'm so lazy to get up day and I want more sleep!"  So the best way to look presentable is whip out the best-looking shade of lipstick that matches your complexion!

Your friendly AMW is here to let you know other lipstick brands out there!  Such as Dearberry!

Dearberry has 2 new lipsticks called Lip Service and Flirt.

Judging by the look on packaging, Lip Service is housed in a black box and black packaging which translates to a more mature side.  As for Flirt, the name says it all, this line is more playful, girly and just plain....flirty!  The packaging is also housed in a pink tube similar as the box!

Johnson's Milk + Oats Review




When Kyle was still a Baby, I am very particular with the bath product he uses.  But now that he's almost 4 years old, I told myself I will use whatever's available because I don't want his skin to be too sensitive like *ahem* his mom so I want him to get used to different brands!

And just when I thought I was being a cool mom for not being "OC" about his skin, it backfires on me because Kyle is suffering from Dry, Itchy and worst, skin irritations!  We literally had to bring him to his Doctor to have his skin checked!  True enough, he is suffering from Clinically-visible Dry Skin!  

I honestly felt bad!  But what's a mom to do?  Instead of moping around blaming myself, I have to thank my SampleRoom family because they recently sent me a Johnson's Milk + Oats package so I gave it a test right away!

Finally, I'm ready to share my thoughts on the power of 2!
