I Go To Such Events Because I Love to Cook...

If you follow my IG Stories or previously, Snapchat, you'll see how much of a Kitchen-nerd I am!  Don't get me wrong, I'm not super good at cooking but I have the passion to create feel-good, easy-to-prepare, homecooked meals for Mr. AMW and Kyle Nash!  

I can probably say, I'm doing a pretty good job because my parents-in-law, sister-in-law (at times) would join us for dinner!  They won't if they don't enjoy the food di ba?  *self-pats my back* 

So when I got an invite from our friends from Electrolux Philippines to learn how to keep food fresh and healthy for the family, I knew I had to be there!

The event was held last Wednesday at The Green Sun Makati, it was a huge event and I love how they emphasized on "Happiness Homemade" because I believe homemade food will always be the best!

Leaders Coconut Bio Mask with Broccoli Review

So I've tried so many Leaders Insolution masks I can actually get in store and pick the particular variant I need without the help of the SA!  *laughs*  Well, I still like talking to their SA so I do ask them what's new but I actually understood what my skin needs I don't have to rummage through mask after masks just to pick the right one!

The Leaders Insolution Coconut Bio Mask line, I would call an "Unsung Hero".  As much as I'm a fan of "what's available in the kitchen", my skin tends to be sensitive in that department so I shy away from these for the longest time!

Because I am Ms. AMW and I tend to be adventurous (at times), I finally cave in and went for "Green Energy" which is the Brocolli Variant.  For someone with dry skin, I would normally go for the "Violet Energy" (with Blueberry) as this is meant for dry skin.  Because my skin was really acting up for several weeks now (Hello Teenage Pimples!) I picked Coconut Bio Mask with Broccoli because this is meant to leave skin calm, clean, and glowing.

3CE Stylenanda Waterful Concealer Review

I got the 3CE Stylenanda Waterful Concealer on my 2nd Althea order.  As you guys know, I heavily rely on "online shopping" because I almost never have chances to go out just to chill or shop!  Whenever I'm in a mall, I'm always chasing time so I am extremely thankful to have online shopping partners like Althea!  Through Althea, I also get to know Korean brands that I've never heard off!  Just like 3CE.

3CE is also known as 3 Concept Eyes.  And Stylenanda is actually a leading online website in Korea that leads on women's fashion trends!

So I finally have my hands on my second 3CE Product called the Waterful Concealer.   Second because my first 3CE product reviewed on the blog is the 3CE lip pigment.

Housed in a very simple black box with Korean Description, I don't need much research to understand what this tiny tube can do!  I just hope and prayed I picked the right shade but I guess I did!

Cargo Swimmables Water Resistant Blush Los Cabos Review

The Canadian brand Cargo has been around for years, even the time I was just starting out blogging!  One of the most coveted Cargo product (for me) are their Water Resistant Bronzer.   So after years of waiting and stalking online stores, I'm glad the brand has finally decided to reach our shores with the help of Beauty Bar! 

Cargo Swimmables Water Resistant Blush are available in 3 lovely shades ---

• Los Cabos: Soft tangerine
• Ibiza: Shimmering hot pink
• Bali: Medium rose pink

And I got myself the Soft Tangerine shade which I originally wanted because this is called a Nars Orgasm Dupe.

(Side story: If you are a long time beauty blogger, you'll understand why we have this crazy "need" to look for Nars Orgasm Dupe!)

Housed in a very simple tin can, you get a huge C and the brand name embossed.  As simple as it looks, I actually like this!

Cargo says ---

CARGO Swimmables Blush delivers an effortless summer glow that stays put rain or shine – perfect while lying poolside, spending the day at the beach or just being outdoors on a hot day. This longwearing formula withstands perspiration so you don’t have to fuss with reapplication while micronized light diffusers work to ensure a gorgeously natural, non-shiny glow.

L'Oreal Infallible 16HR Pro-Matte Powder Review

By now, everyone should know the difference between a regular Powder and a Powder Foundation.  Powder foundation usually gives coverage and dual powder foundation can actually be used Wet/Dry.  As for powder or setting powders or finishing powders, they are there to "set" your makeup without much coverage!  This is a perfect "retouch" powder that I highly recommend for all my clients so as not to "move" their makeup or change the shade of their base makeup!  

And what makes it even more wonderful is when companies are creating additional benefits for setting powders, just like L'Oreal Infallible Powder, this product does not only "set" your makeup, it is set to control oil and gives out a matte finish up to 16 hours.

L'Oreal Infallible 16HR Pro-Matte Powder Says ---
Absorbs excess oil and reduces shine on the skin’s surface for up to 16 hours. The lightweight pressed powder can be used alone, to set foundation after application, and/or throughout the day for quick touch-ups.

Up to 16hr shine-defying power. Creates the perfect matte finish. The pro look of long-wear.

Available in 6 shades
