My Top Maybelline The Powder Mattes Favorites




A month after the launch of Maybelline Powder Mattes Lipsticks and got to take home all 15 shades!  I finally picked my top 5!  Of course, there will be an explanation on why I picked each shade and how I would wear them!  At the same time, scroll further down to read my honest thoughts on one of the most "lightweight feeling lipsticks" I've tried to date.

 Picking shades right out of the tube may be easy for you but not for me!  They all look so gorgeous on lipstick bullet so I had to actually wear and try all 15 shades before I pick the best one for me!

Starcube Digital TV Box Review




I sit in front of the computer way longer than staying in front of TV.  I can't even remember watching a TV show more than 30 minutes every since I work from home.  

But, everyone in the family depends on TV for entertainment especially after dinner when Mr. AMW's family would sometimes join us for dinner!  As much as I would like to apply for a cable subscription in ALL our televisions at home, it isn't practical because like I said, I don't spend much time on TV but when the "need" or "want" calls for it, I want to have at least something ready.

I recently heard about Starcube Digital TV Box when I overheard our neighbors talk about it (okay, di ako chismosa ah, malakas lang talaga boses nila!)

Because the introductory price isn't expensive and it is just a ONE time payment, I went ahead to learn more about this TV Box.



What Starcube Digital TV Box can offer ---
Enjoy clearer reception of your favorite free TV channels
True enough, the channels are clearer and in Full HD.  The only downside is that, I don't get to watch ALL local TV channels because channel availability is dependent on network coverage.

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!
