Laneige X Lucky Chouette Serum Drop Tints

So a pair of "Lucky Owls" landed on my desk one day and it was from Laneige.  This is a trendy and innovative collection from the leading K-Beauty brand and this time, it goes with the new trend called "Fashionable Beauty".  They collaborated with Korea's hottest fashion designers and that's when Laneige x Lucky Chouette comes to life!

"Chouette, which means “owl” in French, is a symbol of good fortune.  An encounter between Laneige and Lucky Chouette gave birth to a lovely pair of owls that promise to bring good luck to all – Bella Chouette and Vely Chouette.  This adorable duo can be found on the collection which is made up of the brand’s bestselling BB Cushion for incomparable radiance, the new Serum Drop Tint for glossy and lively lips, and the limited edition Multi Face Palette that works as a highlighter and eye shadow in one."

Today, I will be sharing all 9 shades of the Laneige X Lucky Chouette Serum Drop Tints for you to have an idea how each shade looks!

Pork Salpicao Recipe (Version 2)

Last year, I shared my Pork Salpicao recipe and who would've thought there will always be another version?  After more than a year of trial and error, well, it's not like I was concentrating on improving the taste!  But after trial and error, I finally created a better Pork Salpicao Recipe and I'm sharing it to you!

Tommy Hilfiger Launches New Watch Collection: Tommy x Gigi Hadid

How does it feel to wear a piece of Supermodel Gigi Hadid?

I felt like I'm the most pretty person in the entire world!  (Pagbigyan niyo na!)  

I am a watch collector, it doesn't have to be top of the line luxurious watches but I like all brands and all types of watches nevertheless!  I have a drawer-ful of watches and I like changing them depending on my personality.

So the launch of Tommy Hilfiger New Watch Collection is a perfect timing for me to "shop" for more watch brands out there.

The launch in the Philippines happened last November 16 at Cafe Naya at the Palace and the whole place was transformed to Nautical look!  As we all know, Tommy Hilfiger has been around for quite some time, known as the leading designer lifestyle brand, known for their classic American Cool Style that's preppy with a twist, I am not surprised a collaboration with world's Supermodel Gigi Hadid was in tow!  

And during the event, local Brand Ambassadors for the Watch Brand were present!  Influencers like Chie Filomeno, Janina Manipol and Jessie Yang were there to celebrate the launch with our friends from MGI Luxury Asia Pacific Ltd. and The Watch Store PH.

Why I'm Still Coming Back To You All Through These Years...

I'm referring to the Clinique 3-Step Skincare system.

If you are a SUPER LONG TIME reader of AMW, you would know that the first skincare regimen I really stick to is the brand called Clinique!  I know there are so many skincare brands out there that is starting to work for me now, but going back to my "skincare roots", I have the brand Clinique to be thankful to! 

After coming back from an almost 4 years gig at China with the crazy 4 seasons, my skin was extremely crazy when I came back to Manila!  It was dry, itchy, scaly, red and just plain "blah"!  It took me awhile to really get it into my system to spend a bit of effort (and money) to invest on a good skincare regimen!  After testing out the Clinique 3-Step System that is meant for my skin type --- DRY, my skin has never been better!  Yes, even better than the time I was in my teenage years!

I may be a Beauty Blogger who tests so many skin care products, just so you know, I always have this "set" from Clinique because whenever my skin is acting up, I will comfortably go back to this and my skin will get right back on track!  

If you ask me years ago, the main reason Clinique works is because of their Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion which upgraded to a (+) several years after, now, if you ask me again!  You would be surprised with my answer.....

Aside from the iconic Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+™, there is actually a "difference maker" in this set!  I used to call this the "extra step that I think I can get away without", but now, I call this the CO-Star that made the star shine brighter!

Maybelline V-Face Duo Powder by FaceStudio Review

Hi AMW Friends!  How's the contour-thing going on by your side?

I have been a master-contour and highlight girl for the year 2016!  I am claiming 2016 to make myself look slim --- not through exercise of course :P

I recently tested Maybelline V-Face Duo Powder, I love to contour using powder because that's the easiest!  And here's a funny story --- Kyle's school guard went up to me and said: "You look different, there's something different with your face"  And he's pointing out to "surgery" and I just laughed and said: "Natural beauty!"  Then I realized, it was the Maybelline V-Face Duo Powder that I have been using for the past month!  I hope he's not reading this, and he shouldn't! :P
