L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation Review

 Seriously, I was really scared to test this foundation because it was written all over the tube --- #NeverFail Foundation for OILY SKIN!

But for the sake of review, I actually tried this foundation for a week, wore this under the sun, while driving, while chasing after my son at High Street and all I can say was.... "I am SHOCKED!"

Note from Author: Though I have Normal skin now, the result could be different if weather gets a bit cooler, my skin tends to get "dry" on colder months, this must work really well because it's hot and humid!  That said, this is really a perfect summer foundation!

L'Oreal Paris finally brought in the most-awaited, most sought-after and most requested product --- the Infallible Pro-Matte 24HR Foundation.  This particular foundation if I may have to repeat, is suited for OILY skin, but I'm sure fellow normal/dry skin girls and boys out there would like to hear what I have to say about this particular foundation.

I got the shade 105 Natural Beige as my perfect match!

 There are a total of 6 shades curated for Filipina Skin tones.

Bare With Me with NYX Matte Lipstick

Happy Labor Day!

It's May 1 and still a holiday in our country!  As much as I would love to be resting like a princess, I have to say, there will never be one if you're a mom!  Nothing I'm complaining about for sure because I'm enjoying every single moment of it (if you follow me on IG stories).

Talk about resting, I have featured a couple of "nude" or "MLBB" lippies but this one definitely goes to: "I definitely look sick wearing this but the shade is so pretty I have to feature it!"

You get it, right?  The shade Bare With Me from NYX Matte Lipstick is such a gorgeous color you want to make it work especially if you have my skin tone, I will be honest with you, it looks more forgiving on photos but I look so washed out in person I need to pile another color on top for me to look like a healthy woman in her 30s.

But I have to stress again and again, even if this shade doesn't work for me, it still deserves a FULL page feature because .....

It is a Matte Lipstick that actually glides easily even on dry, parched lips.

The NYX Matte Lipstick is housed in a simple black bullet packaging with a "Peek-a-poo" clear plastic at the center for you to see the exact shade of the lipstick without opening the cap.  Great job in packaging department guys!

The color Bare With Me is a cool tone peach pink nude color that finishes off satin matte.  You get 0,16 oz of product per tube.

Weekend Food Trip at Coco Ichibanya

So I have tried Coco Ichibanya the first time in Shanghai more than 10 years ago!  I remembered my brother (who's working there) taking Keith and I, my mom, dad and my brother to this "Curry Restaurant" because it is extremely yummy.

Then, I opened the menu and said: "What?  It's all curry lang?"
Duh? Obviously, it's a CURRY RESTAURANT.

Obviously, it isn't just a curry restaurant, it is one of the yummiest Curry I've tried!  I loved the restaurant so much I made it a point to visit and dine there whenever I go to Shanghai!

Then, the most impossible thing happened, just when I always message my brother how I wish this restaurant would be available in the Philippines, it finally happened!  And I can't believe why it took me THIS long to finally visit Coco Ichibanya!

(Note from author:  All food photos won't look exactly the same as how they would regularly serve because we asked them to separate the curry sauce!)

Pork Cutlet Omelette Curry

Php380.00

Soft and fluffy omelette curry with steaming Japanese rice inside is a wonderful surprise!  It goes so well with the crunchy Pork Cutlet!  You also get to choose the spicy level of your curry sauce!

Pork Cutlet Curry

Php340.00

Because I wanted to share this dish with my son, I went for plain steaming rice with the same yummy pork cutlet that's oh-so-tender and soft on the inside.

Be Active! With the PHILAM Vitality Active Mobile App!

Hey AMW Friends!  Do you have a workout plan?

Judging by the way my schedule looks, you probably knew that I have 0 workout fitted in my schedule!  But as lazy as I look, I actually used to have an EXTREMELY active lifestyle --- 4x a week Gym and everyday aerobics/dance sessions!

I missed being active again, today, as much my workout entails running/chasing after my 4-year old son Kyle Nash, I try to squeeze in some "me" time by working out, a bit of a brisk walking after dinner or early morning walks.

Now, I'm sure a lot of you have this same "goal" as I do to keep myself stay active to free myself from possible health risks especially since I'm not getting any younger!  Thanks to my blogger friend Rowena for introducing me to an app led by Philam Life.  The app is called Philam Vitality Program.

This program seeks to help its customers to make better decisions that contribute to their overall wellness and rewarding them along the way!  You know how we love rewards!  So this is definitely an app worth checking out!
