Vionic Footwear Launch

I have tons of clothes that I can mix and match on a daily basis but when it comes to my footwear, I may have a lot of pairs but there are only 2-3 pairs that I really use on a daily basis.  They don't look as fashionable but they are comfortable enough.

Raise your hands if you are like me, you go for comfort before style.

But, in this generation, isn't it high time for us to ask for both?  AskMeWhats has always been on a lookout for comfortable footwear yet fashionable enough to be worn in public especially on events where I usually attend!  Thankfully, a fashion-forward footwear brand is finally in our country!

This collaboration, the Vionic Innovation Lab, brings together world-renowned health and fitness experts who share a common vision of enhancing foot health and promoting a more vibrant, active lifestyle."

Vionic recently opened retail stores at Uptown Bonifacio and Ayala Malls The 30th.  I was lucky enough to be invited to their launch at Uptown Bonifacio and I get to see and try the footwear in person and give it a feel.  

Kate Tokyo Black Feather Lash Review

Gosh, I haven't reviewed a single mascara this year!  I knew I had to, I've been using them but I get really "lukewarm" with all the mascaras I've reviewed not because they don't work, it's just because I am not blessed with "lushes" (aka lashes)

Castor Oil...do you work?

(Any feedback would be highly appreciated)

So I used the Kate Black Leather Lash until it dried out!  Yup, I used it so consistently I am sure I can give an in-depth review!  Though photos do not show how much my lashes appreciate the mascara, I actually do!  Please scroll further down to read more.

Kate Tokyo Black Feather Lash comes in 1 shade only BK-1 or Mysterious Black.

It is housed in a simple black packaging and the mascara wand comes with 2 sides!

The unique two-sided wand brush transforms your eyelashes into jet black with alluring luster. 
Experience the black bird feather-like, soft and gorgeous lashes.

Easiest Brush to Contour Your Face

I currently own so many makeup brushes I can't seem to keep track and I dread washing them on a weekly basis!  (shhhh)  

But, a certain brush brand caught my attention because it is indeed so easy-to-use and it delivers as what the name says, it frames my face whenever I use this and the name is called.....

Face Framing Contour Brush 

by Pro Studio Beauty Exclusives 

Php480.00

I got this brush as a Christmas Gift last year and have been testing and using this for almost 2 months now.  

If you ask me, at first glance, the brush doesn't look anything special at all!  I mean judging by the look of the bristles, application could go messy.  But of course, who am I to judge?  I gave this a small sweep under my cheekbones the moment I received this (not recommended as you need to wash your brushes upon purchase)

Initial thoughts?  Brush hair is quite soft and easy to use and it fits under my cheekbones perfectly.

Golden Rose Cosmetics Dream Eyebrow Pencil Review

I've always been adventurous with makeup.  I don't look into just trying out expensive brands, I am more for going for products/brands that works (irregardless of how much they are worth).  So when I saw an eyebrow pencil lying on top of my desk called Golden Rose, I immediately had to go straight to the computer to do some research about the brand.

Golden Rose is cosmetics brand from Turkey.  They actually are already in the market for over 30 years!  The price range of the cosmetics are on a drugstore side and they have complete makeup range to create various looks!

The Golden Dream Eyebrow pencil doesn't look unique as compared to other brands, it comes with an eyebrow pencil and a brush.  But hail to those into brushing their brows!  The brush is actually soft and useful!

The shade I got is 306 which is actually almost taupe but lighter than regular taupe shade makeup you own.

Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub Review

Hey AMW friends!  It's Tuesday and the days flew by pretty quickly and my AMW Workshop Series for year 2017 is lurking around the corner!  Will post more details soon!

Today, I've decided to share my tiny secret on how to keep my lips half-sane especially on days I swatch gazillion of lipsticks!  My secret?  I use lip scrub to completely remove lipstick/lip lacquer residue!  

Most of the time, lips/eye makeup remover doesn't do the cut!  So to answer most of your queries, you need to invest on a lip scrub!  And one brand/product you can look into is from Tony Moly called the Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub!  

It is housed in a super cute "lip-shaped" plastic packaging and I originally thought this is a tinted lip balm when I picked this out in store!  It was a lovely surprise to find a lip scrub instead because I honestly own so many lip products and only a few lip scrubs!  The most previous one I reviewed was Bliss Fabulips and I already "hit the pan" on that. 

Tony Moly Kiss Kiss Lip Scrub says ---

"Removes dead skin cells and make lips soft, smooth and elastic 2. With vegetable nature scrub complex 3. Help lip essence balm absorb into lips"
