Let's Help Empower Each Other!

If you are a long-time AMW reader, you probably knew by now how much I value beauty on the inside as everyone's first priority before trying to look beautiful on the outside.  

I know, easier said than done, how can each one of us feel beautiful on the inside if we have our own battles?  I know we all have our own trying times and it is time for each one of us to step up and say... "Hey, we're all going through something, I'm here just in case you need help!"


And that's how I try to empower each and every single one of you with my daily blog posts, posting about makeup, skincare, food may sound superficial to some but that is my way of helping other people in my own little ways.  

I answer EACH and EVERY Single email, query on all my social media sites because I try to reach out and help with the best of my ability!  A simple answer on "What's the best brand of purple lipstick" to "How do you manage your busy schedule as a Working Mom" will help empower other women out there who are struggling and need help.

I've been blogging for a decade now and I will be doing this for more years to come because this is just one of the many simple ways I know to extend my help and make other women feel beautiful in and out.

Don't judge me when I get all sentimental because I was sent a box of Avon goodies and actually watched this video.  Their Be Empowered video is definitely a must-watch video because that's when you realize that even big-time models/actresses have gone through struggles just like regular "Janes".

My Daily "Nude" Look

If there's an "everyday face for Nikki Tiu", this is my everyday face.

Well, not really, shall I rephrase?

If there's an everday "full face" makeup for Nikki Tiu, then that (photo above) would be my everyday full face look!  My version of a full faced makeup will always be ----

• Fresh-looking.
• I still look like me, but younger version perhaps?
• Easy and very quick to do, 5 minutes max!

And so far, after the launch of Cathy Doll Nude Me Eyeshadow (Php499.00), I have been picking this Nude Palette multiple times I think it's time I review other eyeshadow palettes.

Cathy Doll says ---

"Cathy Doll Nude Me Eyeshadow comes with 3 tones that are vivid, and long-wearing even without the application of eye primer. Enhance your charm with this handy yet chic compact." 

Eureka Moment: Mascara Mishaps?

 When I first got the Happy Skin Pretty Clean Instant Makeup Eraser, I originally thought this was specifically made for eyeliner mishaps, I mean, of course, most of us have issues in eyeliner application especially when we try "wing-in' it" right?

Not me...ahem...give me some of my bragging rights, I have quite steady hands so eyeliner application is really not an issue of mine!  So, just when I thought this product is meant for those with wobbly hands...well, my confidence was thrown right back at my face whenever I apply mascara.

My lashes are short, if I may have to say it again and again --- very short, sparse, stick straight and non-existent.  So whenever I do apply mascara, it always gets into my lids because...I have to really wiggly the mascara wand from the roots of the lashes, which of course, is the easiest way to transfer some of the mascara to my lid!

That's when I realized I don't put mascara on a daily basis just because I'm too lazy to clean up the mascara mess I make on EVERY application.

Not until, I met this....

Laneige Two Tone Shadow Bars Review

So Laneige recently launched their Milky Way Fantasy Collection which is said to reflect the beauty of the enchanting universe in its sparkling packaging.  

True enough, the packaging caught my attention but you get the pure, simple, Laneige-like packaging on all their products!  I am instantly drawn to the Two Tone Shadow Bars because it has a rose gold shade to coordinate with the white packaging.

Revlon Insta-Blush Review

Every Beauty Blogger in this world probably blogged or talked about Stick Blushes but seldom do I hear raves about them.  

Why not?

Well, aside from the fact that it is indeed a great invention --- twist-up stick, easy-to-tote-along and use, can blend using just the tip of your fingers...

Why not?

Most of the time, based from my experience, they are hard to manage in terms of blending and they do not last the whole day!

Revlon recently came up with their own stick version of a blush called Insta-Blush.  As the name states, this product can instantly give you the "blush" you want on your cheeks anytime, anywhere with ZERO tools!  After using this nifty product for at least a month, I'm ready to share my thoughts!

Revlon Insta-Blush Says ---

"Our sheer, blendable blush is mistake-proof. The luxurious, cream-to-powder formula creates a naturally flushed, beautiful kiss of color. Use on the apples of cheeks for the perfect finishing touch to a contoured or highlighted look— Anytime, Anywhere."

Available in 4 shades: Candy Kiss, Nude Kiss, Rose Gold Kiss and Berry Kiss.
