Tony Moly Dual Stamp Liner Review





So there is such thing as a "Stamp Liner".  I actually wasn't in need of any "liquid liner" as I have so many back ups to date but upon seeing this new "fad" from Tony Moly store, I had to grab one!  Just because AskMeWhats is definitely a venue for something new (especially on skincare and makeup) so I had to share my find!

Well, it isn't that new because I got this December of last year, I'm not even sure if this product is still available in store!  Blame the OC-ness in me to finish my makeup before I open a new one.

Housed in a very simple black packaging, you wouldn't call this "boring" when you see what this pen can do!

A: Concept Shape Of My Face Triple Contour Review




I've already "hit the pan" on my favorite daily contour powder Pony Effect Nice Shading in Crony and I'm slightly panicking.  Aside from fixing my brows, contouring is a make up step I actually DO NOT SKIP since the year 2017!  Don't ask me why but I'm quite liking the subtle "shade" that I have on a daily basis and I get compliments saying my face looks slimmer *hehehe* 

One of my most recent Althea order includes the A: Concept Shape of my Face Triple Contour.  I actually like to try out various brands of contour powders especially those made in Korea because I find the contour shades to be perfect for girls like me who has fair skin.

NYX Intense Butter Lipgloss in Napoleon Review



Today is the start of an EXTREMELY crazy week!  My days has always be BUSY but this week is exceptionally crazy!  If you don't believe me, (shameless plug starting now....) follow me on @AskMeWhats on Instagram and watch my IG stories!  You'll understand why I drink at least 3 cups of coffee a day!

Aside from coffee, I rely heavily on lip products to help myself look presentable on a daily basis!  Aside from making sure my brows are looking good (which I tend to hide under my bangs nowadays), I can't seem to hide my lips so a good lip color will always make or break my look!  Either: "Pagod ka ata" or "Ang blooming mo naman"  I would definitely choose the latter so I'm definitely more adventurous in trying out various lip colors...even the bright ones...like this one from NYX called the NYX Intense Butter Lipgloss (Php790.00).

Intense talaga siya!

The shade I get to wear is the name of my brother!  Definitely not his personality to be THIS LOUD and colorful but I'm actually loving the name!  Just because it's the name of my brother.... :P  Not as an alcoholic beverage :P

I personally do not own a lot of NYX Intense Butter Lipgloss.  But technically, if I read the term lipgloss, I would think of a lip product that is high shine, less pigmented and purely hydrating.  

It isn't the case for NYX, this one is just like that of a Liquid Lipstick BUT with higher shine.

Chicken Fajitas Recipe


The best way to show your mom how much you love and appreciate her is to cook for her (if you are into cooking).  One thing I didn't do so much for my mom is to cook for her!  Because I grew up having her or my sister cook for us #luckyme

But after turning into a mom myself, I realized I need to use my knowledge in cooking and share it to my own family!  (May talent din pala ako sa cooking guys!)

I am definitely not a "Chef-kind-of-girl" but I am definitely a cook that can whip up easy-yet-warm-to-the-tummy dishes!  Everything I cook takes less than 45 minutes because I'm always in a rush!  I recently shared my Chicken Fajitas recipe on Instagram Stories and I was overwhelmed with the request I get to share this simple recipe!

Pardon the photos because I only use cellphone camera, who in the world can hold a DSLR camera while cooking?  (If you can --- I salute you!)

Chicken Fajitas ala AMW

Ingredients:

  • Boneless Chicken Thighs or breasts

Mother's Day Gift Ideas


So tomorrow is Mother's Day!  I know "time" is definitely one of the best gifts you can give to your mommy but if there's a little bit of budget to go along with time, here are just some of the items I would LOVE to give to my own mom.

A simple act of love with Sweets.
Toblerone's Limted Edition Mother's Day packaging is available to show your mom how much you appreciate and love her.  This is a perfect gift idea for those who can't seem to say: "I love you mom" in person!  

Toblerone Mother's Day Art Packs and Sleevers are available at The SM Store North EDSA, The SM Store Mall of Asia, The SM Store Megamall, The SM Store Makati, The SM Store Cubao, The SM Store San Lazaro, Robinson's Ermita, Landmark Trinoma and Landmark Makati until tomorrow May 14!  

A simple act of love with Accessory
When mommy friend Jackie and I had a chance to visit Nomination Italy store at 2nd level Glorietta 4 to "gift" each other Composable Bracelets from Nomination Italy, I realized how wonderful it is to gift your mom something this personal and meaningful for the special occasion.  When you pick or compose a bracelet, you look back into wonderful memories you share together with your mom, whether it could be as simple as a shopping trip, travels and a whole lot more, you can materialize your bonding activities and memories by composing your very own bracelet and have your mom wear it to be reminded of the good times you share together.


My Nomination Italy Composable Bracelet (mixed with rose gold locket), the word "LOVE", a cross and a husband and wife imprinted on it.
