Maybelline Hyper Ink Liquid Liner Review

Since the arrival of wonderful liquid eyeliner pens, I didn't see myself touching a liquid liner that is housed in a "pot" and "applicator" (separately).  Holding the new Maybelline Hyper Ink Liquid Liner brought me back to so much good and bad "eyelining" memories.  The first one I tried was from Kate by Kanebo and I remembered poking my eye directly with the sharp brush seeing "black tears" rolling down my cheeks.  

Good 'ol pre-Blogging, pre-MUA memories.

Now that I'm confirmed to have steady-hands and a very good hands in ANY type of liquid liner application, holding this gave me that ultimate rush because I knew I will be getting somewhat a very precise, high intensity liquid liner --- and Maybelline Hyper Ink Liquid Liner gave me so much MORE!

The Hyper Ink Liquid Liner is housed in a very simple black and silver packaging with a long handled "cap" that I appreciate because I have better hold of the liner brush!

Maybelline Hyper Ink Liquid Liner Review Says ---

Get inked with a liner that does it all. Intense blacker than black pigments are highly absorbed by its unique flexi-cushion tip that gives extreme control. With a 12h smudgeproof formula, this eye liner will deliver bold and precise definition all day long.

I Perfected My Strobing Skills with NYX

I highlight and contour subtly on a daily basis, that's how I make my skin looks more healthy and radiant because I have naturally sallow (a.k.a. boring) skin.  I have roadtested so many contour and highlight products I knew which particular ones would give me the very natural and subtle effect while other products/brands can give me more drama.

But I wasn't ready for this particular "strobing" technique that I got after using the palette from NYX called NYX Strobe of Genius Illuminating Palette.  All I can say is that --- it is indeed a "genius" in the strobing department.

To those who are "used to" my usual "Product review photos", you can definitely see a major change in this!  

For goodness' sake, I don't even have any eye makeup on in this particular photo (only brows), but I love the way my skin looks, so healthy, so glowing, so 3D!

The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof Eye & Lip Make-Up Remover Review

The Body Shop Camomile Range is my ultimate favorite!  I haven't really raved about it a lot online but offline, I've told most of my friends and readers about it I almost act like a Camomile Ambassadress!

Read about The Body Shop Camomile range HERE.

Read my in-depth review on The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil here.

And recently, I saw a somewhat "newly packaged" Waterproof Eye & Lip Make-Up Remover and gave this another whirl.

Pink Sugar Lip & Cheek Tints New Shades (Slay, Pillow Talk and Love Bug)

Pink Sugar recently launched 3 new Sugar Tints (Lip & Cheek Tints) and the names are so cute --- Slay, Pillow Talk and Love Bug.  Are the names inspired by millennial songs?

The 3 new shades have matte finish and as much as I would love to multi-talk these babies on my cheeks, I have dry skin so I seldom apply "tints" on the area.

The 2 shades Slay and Love But are more on the "pink" side while Pillow Talk has a brown hue to it, that's why I sandwiched the brown at the center for you to see the difference.

Found your favorite?

L-R Slay, Pillow Talk and Love Bug

I happily talked about my first impressions and swatched them on my IG stories the moment I received them!  Please follow me on IG @AskMeWhats and watch my IG stories because I usually share initial thoughts, unboxing and random tutorials!  (shameless plug...I know!)

Just by the mere look of the swatches, I was leaning more on the shade Slay (top swatch) and thought Pillow Talk would make me look like a walking dead.  But looks and swatches CAN BE deceiving!  I actually love all 3 shades and they all work for me!

AMW Cooks: Shrimp Lumpia

 "Lumpia" or fried spring rolls has always been my favorite dish even when I was younger!  As much as I cook this a lot, they always turn out differently because I never measure!  I always joke around that my dishes depend on the mood of the cook! 

Anyone can relate?

If you check out my AMW Recipes, you'll notice how much of a "meat" person we are!  Well, technically, we're not just carnivores, we love our veggies and seafood, but I am allergic to most seafood that's the reason why you don't see me cook them.

BUT, there are days I give myself a break!  I ordered a kilo of fresh (still moving) shrimps and decided to trick my family (and my allergies)!  :P

Ingredients:

• Fresh shrimps
• Ground Pork
• Onion and Garlic
• Salt and Pepper
• 1 egg
• Chopped carrots
