To those who compliments my brows almost every time they see me, THANK YOU....but ya 'all should know by now how my real brows look without all the hoobaloo.

Now, isn't this a perfect "Yay" and "Nay" photo?  

Yes, thank you brow products...thank you!

One of the most trusted brand by makeup artists Make Up For Ever recently launched their full range of brow products and your resident AMW was there to cover for you (read article HERE)

And I was asked over email on how to use each product and if they should purchase ALL the products or can survive with just 1 or 2 out of the 3.  My answer?  IT DEPENDS on what you want to achieve and of course, your current brow situation.  I'll show you how using ONE or TWO of each against using ALL 3 would look with photos to prove of course!

Make Up For Ever Brow Gel No. 25 (Php1,200.00)

Guerlain L'ART DU TRAIT Precision Felt Eyeliner Review



I have been using eyeliner (pencils, gels and liquids) more than half of my life!  I remember using a brown eyeliner pencil for the first time during my Senior college days and I felt so beautiful back then #lol

Because of my small, chinky eyes, lining my eyes will always be the way to go to create that complete and wide-awake look!  I know I don't wear as much eyeshadow as I used to 10 years ago but I definitely will keep that eyelining game strong at present and for the years to come.

That said, I've been using, and testing, both drugstore and high end eyeliner brands and today, I am featuring the one from Guerlain called Guerlain L'ART DU TRAIT Precision Felt Eyeliner in 01 Ultra Black.

Housed in a pen like most liquid liners, you get a clear print of the Logo of Guerlain in Gold on top of a black pen.  Very chic!

Guerlain Precision Felt Eyeliner Says ---
Elegant and trendy, this ultimate Precision Felt Eyeliner L'Art du Trait from Guerlain offers precise, clear and definite drawing to create a natural or graphic look.

With a single stroke, it offers a perfect application and pay-off instantly. Impressively efficient, its long felt tip assures an ultra-precise gesture that enables you to draw a thin line or an intense graphic eye look.

Its water resistant formula and no transfer texture lasts from day to night (8 hours).

Meet the Boi-ing Family!




There are many things "I wished for" when I looked into my old graduation photo whenever I visit my mom and dad!  I wished my undereye darkness was concealed better and naturally!  But God is good, I was given a chance to take a better graduation photo, this time with better-looking brows and well concealed face!  Best of all?  I'm in ALL pink! (Added bonus pa na Class of 2017 ako! hahaha)

All thanks to Benefit Cosmetics Philippines!




After getting all excited with the lovely display during my first visit at Benefit Cosmetics Robinson's Magnolia Branch, I went down to business and got to know the Boi-ing Family!

Yes, Boi-ing isn't really knew to us Bene-lovers!  The Boi-ing we all love actually got married and had a family!  Housed in a better packaging with shades so easy to choose from (All of them comes in shades 01, 02 and 03) And guess what?  There's no second-guessing when it comes to concealing, whatever your "concealing" issues are, Benefit finally got you (and me) covered!

Tony Moly Facetone Cover FIX Concealer Review



I remember seeing the whole Facetone Cover Fix Line at Tony Moly branch at Lucky Chinatown.  "I want them all!" is what I remembered telling myself but I've decided to pick the Facetone Cover Fix Concealer (Php378.00) instead because I use up concealer more often than foundations!

Housed in quite a large tube considering this is just a concealer, it actually has 20g worth of Concealer and loving the tube packaging!

According to the SA, it comes in 2 shades: W01 Vanilla Beige and W02 Natural Beige.  Unfortunately, the shade I'm sure that would match me (Natural Beige) is out of stock and I can't seem to wait any longer, I went ahead to pick Vanilla Beige and crossed my fingers and toes, hoping this would work!

Housed in a squeeze-type tube with a sharp tip!  I am liking the packaging already!  Now, pushing the "Formal" look aside (almost like a medication from a drugstore) design, I am definitely ready to test this out because I was told this is a high coverage concealer and I get full pigmentation in just a little dot!

Tony Moly Says ---

A creamy, full-coverage concealer that won't 
ever crease, flake or leave you wanting more.

IN2IT Liquid Matte Lipstick Review (Ravish)




Happy lip product Monday guys!  I'm always excited for Monday posts because it is the best time for me to share to you my new lip product find!

IN2IT is the brand that we forever knew about (especially for Beauty Bloggers like myself!)  The super well-known IN2IT product will always be their powder foundation and that would be a separate blog post about it because I was actually able to try one!  (Finally!)


For now, I am quite happy (and surprised) to know that the brand actually came up with their very own Liquid Matte Lipstick line!  Yes, the Liquid Matte lipstick craze is still here to stay!  The shade I got is 03 RAVISH.

How do you like it?

 IN2IT says ---

  • Shine like a gloss, covers like a lipstick.
  • Soft and Creamy
  • Long wearing, enriched with moisturizers, Vitamine E, Luffa Seed Oil, Sea Grass and Corn.
  • Smooth and easy to apply.
Now let's talk about the packaging, it's housed in a "normal" liquid lipstick packaging but I actually like the simple design!  It's straightforward (transparent tube) so you can immediately see the color right away!  The lip product details are printed on tube but wordings are extremely small I had to take a photo of it and ZOOM if I needed to check out ingredients, thankfully, the brand included Manufacturing and Expiration date at the bottom portion of this tube which I super appreciate --- THANK YOU!

The doe-foot applicator is actually pretty nice!  I think most makeup companies already nailed the applicator because it gets better as I go on testing new products!  The applicator has 2 flat sides (which I love) and it applies the product pretty smoothly.
