Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipsticks by Colorsensational Review

So it has already been established that drugstore brands like Maybelline and L'Oreal (comes from same company by the way) are "upping" their game in terms of lipsticks!  With the wide array of lipstick shades in several finishes, I can't imagine leaving their counter without buying at least a single tube!  (Consider the price and sale they have every now and then)

With all the neon and vibrant lipstick shades that they are coming up, they finally came up with (well, in my opinion, my age appropriate lipstick shade)  Don't get me wrong, these colors can be worn by women of all ages but this reminded me so much of the 90's I have to claim the browns, courtesy of Maybelline Colorsensational Creamy Matte Lipsticks.

Priced affordably at Php299.00, I can't imagine not grabbing more than one!

So I originally got 3 tubes to start with!  The shades are (L-R) Clary Crush, Nude Nuance and Burgundy Blush.  Then I saw Divine Wine on counter and I told myself I had to get one!

The packaging is just like the Vivid Mattes but instead of vibrant cap shades, this time, it was housed in an almost transparent brown cap which I don't mind!

My Fairy Bread

Though my son is currently homeschooled, I make sure he has his "snack time" during and after "class".  He usually calls for cookies or chips but I am planning for better option!  Something pleasing to the eyes at the same time packed with vitamins and minerals to help his complete development.

I got inspired to create Fairy Bread when I got this package.

Note from AskMeMom: Everything should be in moderation.  

Here's my simple steps to make colorful Fairy Bread.

Step 1: Toast Bread
Step 2: Cut into fun shapes.  Mine is in star.
Step 3: Add a good amount of Star Margarine
Step 4: Sprinkle candied sprinkles on top.  The more colorful the better.

Essence Liquid Ink Waterproof Liner Review

I've chanced upon Essence Liquid Ink Waterproof liner when I was roaming around SM Makati Beauty Section looking for "new products" to watch out for.  This nifty product caught my attention because after looking at the tester, this reminded me so much of the discontinued Benefit Liquid Liner.

So based from performance, I call this the inexpensive dupe of the said product.

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask Review

I've said it so many times, if you need hydration/moisture, look for skincare products that focus on keeping your skin's natural moisture at bay.  One brand I literally went gaga for (not because it is endorsed by my girl crush Song Hye Kyo), but because it really works in the hydration department.... is called the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask.  It is indeed a mask-ful of hydration and protection that I can literally call my skin today ---- NORMAL!

The first time I tried Laneige skincare product was year 2011, the most-coveted Laneige Water Sleeping Pack EX which received a lot of approval from fellow Beauty Bloggers and enthusiasts worldwide!  

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they started out with Water Sleeping Pack, Water Sleeping Pack Plus, then Water Sleeping Pack EX (which I reviewed) and today, the Water Sleeping Mask.

I may not be a Laneige expert but I'm sure the change means the formulation gets better and they probably "listened" to the needs of the consumer thus the "evolution of water sleeping products".

This version I got is from the Limited Edition Milky Way Collection last December!  

Housed in a cute snow-inspired packaging, this tiny "add-on" can lift my mood which for me is a nice sensory experience.

AMWtv: Belo Sunexpert Initial Thoughts

Hi AMW friends!  If you follow me on Instagram and are cool enough to click my IG stories, you've probably seen how often I do initial thoughts/product reviews on products that I'm currently testing, random makeup and skincare tips and a whole lot of life-sharing.  With the positive messages I receive on the short and sweet IG stories, I am more inspired to do more!  And with this in mind, I've finally decided to create AMWtv, nothing special, not a full-blown "Vlogger" for sure but you won't definitely see the last of this video!  

Recently, I received a full range of Belo Sunexpert from my Sampelroom family!  Ever since Kyle went to school, I've been using more than the usual sunblock because I wait for him 3 full hours right under the sun so I tend to apply and re-apply more than usual.  So this is a blessings in disguise when I got fresh supplies of my daily sunscreen.  

YES, you read it right, DAILY sunscreen because the Belo Sunexpert definitely falls into that category.  They aren't sticky, extremely lightweight and doesn't change the color of your skin tone, and best of all, they work!  So please scroll further down for my initial thoughts video (upon receiving the products) and my in-depth review on each product.

Please be nice to me, this is definitely super amateurish but its done with 101% love!
