Shiseido Ibuki Smart Filtering Smoother Review

As much as I'm not into face primers because I am born with perfect skin (JUST JOKING!).  

Well, it is the fact that I'm too lazy to apply full face makeup on a regular basis so I don't think I find the need to use face primers.  NOT UNLESS, I get a face primer that says --- SMART FILTERING SMOOTHER, a product that blurs imperfections to keep me "Selfie-ready" anytime anywhere!

It is no surprise that the top skincare brand in Japan came up with their own "face smoother" under the Ibuki line!  I gave this a test right away after learning about this product during the Beauty Discovery Event last February.

Shiseido Ibuki Smart Filtering Smoother Says ---

"Picture-perfect looking skin. A game-changing formula that acts like a smart filter reducing the appearance of pores and leaving skin with a fresh, smooth, matte look.

Reveal the coveted look you thought only a selfie filter could deliver! This game-changing formula acts like a smart filter with a skin blurring effect. The velvety, lightweight texture uniquely turns matte on skin and immediately absorbs excess sebum from skin’s surface. Visible pores become less noticeable. Sleek and compact, the container slips easily into your pocket, giving you the power to have beautiful, selfie-perfected skin anytime, anywhere." 

Crazy, Beautiful, ME with Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks

Don't go crazy with my title!
I'm referring to ---

CRAZY - the crazy colored blush on pan from Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks HD Cheek Color in shade Tokyo Rush.
BEAUTIFUL - how beautiful the color appears on cheeks amidst looking crazy on swatch.
ME - how I still look like me and you will still look like YOU wearing this particular shade.

Indeed, we should never judge the book by its' cover.  Even a blush!

The Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks HD Cheek Color were launched late 2015.  I did a couple of "swatches" HERE and I finally got the chance to pick the brightest shade and wear it!  

K-Palette Lasting 3Way Eyebrow Pencil Review

I get more compliments about my brows than the rest of my body!  *laughs*  Don't get me wrong, I'm not being sarcastic about it, it's just funny how people are really into brows nowadays they compliment them like a whole new individual!

That said, I need to live up to the "gorgeous brows" expectation by making sure to keep them looking "naturally gorgeous".

So trying out different brow products from different brands is definitely part of this "AMW Reviews" game.  I get the goosebumps whenever I'm holding up a New Brow Product!  

Just like the new brow product from K-Palette!  These are called 3Way Eyebrow Pencils! 

Eeeekk, I can't wait to fill in my brows looking at this photo!

K-Palette says ---

"Get your brow game on with this 1DAY Tattoo Lasting 3Way Eyebrow Pencil from K-Palette. Beauty experts swear by this nifty product. It features a soft and creamy pencil formula in a twist design. It comes with a matching powder on the other end in a sponge tip to soften up your look, and a spoolie for a perfectly groomed finish." --- K-Palette Philippines

So indeed, I tried the quick 3 steps to achieve better looking brows!

Happy Skin Bye Bye Blues Brightening Concealer Review

I've said it so many times here on my blog and in all my workshops!  I go out daily without the need of foundation as long as I have a good concealer and a face powder to set!  That said, I have finished so many brands and types of concealers over a decade and there are just a few that I can say --- really works!  

When I got myself Happy Skin Bye Bye, Blues Brightening Concealer Wand during the Festival of Colors Collection Launch, I wasn't that impressed with the capacity of a concealer to "brighten" at the same time cover undereye darkness!  I mean, you can choose only ONE right?  Either a concealer can "correct" your undereye circles or acts as an undereye "highlighter" to brighten the area.... multiple choice question...choose only ONE.

But with Happy Skin, I can finally say, there is an option 3 --- ALL OF THE ABOVE!

The Bye Bye, Blues concealer comes in 2 shades --- Light and Medium.  As always, I go with my gut-feel and went for "Medium" even if my fellow Beauty Bloggers would probably raise their eyebrows on me!  But yes, I need a medium because that is HOW DARK my undereye circles are!

Makeup World Pucker Up Matte Lipsticks Review (Cairo, Havana, Panama and Dublin)

Happy Monday AMW Friends!
I am so ecstatic to share a new found makeup brand available locally!  The brand was super nice enough to "Publicly launch" through AMW Workshop Series last March and I was given this rare opportunity to try out their bestselling products too!

Makeup World Philippines!

"Makeup World is a locally owned brand providing a whole new colour cosmetics experience with its quality products at reasonable prices."

Thankfully, they are indeed made with quality and I like how "classy" the look of their packaging.

I got to try all 4 shades of their newest Matte Lipsticks and I like the fact that the names of the shades goes well with the name of the company --- Makeup World....shade names are wonderful places in the world!

What's your favorite shade?
