Solique X Agoo Collection Launch

I've been Blogging about Beauty for almost a decade now so I definitely have a couple of "Local Beauty Icons" I look up to!  One of them is none other than Ms. Agoo Bengzon.  

I've seen Agoo in several events I've attended but never gotten the chance to talk to her because she's always surrounded by people.  She is a former beauty editor and is a beauty industry vet.  So whenever I see her, I just appreciate her elegance, her fashion and her gorgeous digits!  (Seriously, she's got one of the best looking hands!)  

So it wasn't a surprise for me when a good friend, owner of Girlstuff and Solique Gel Polish Ms. Janina Gutierrez-Tan told me about the Solique x Agoo collaboration.  

It took a while, I was a bit impatient (ako pa talaga!)  but it was because I was too excited to know what the Beauty Guru has in store for us and guess what?  The wait is definitely WORTH it!

Introducing, the limited-edition collection for Solique available this August ---

Solique x Agoo Gel Polish by Girlstuff

Shades: Smitten, Posse and Cloud (L-R)

That's me with Ms. Agoo Bengzon, one of the most humble "It Girl" I know!  Seriously, I enjoy talking to her because this girl does not only exude grace and beauty, she definitely has the love and passion for everything she does which makes her such an inspiration to everyone!

My CLIO Lips

When CLIO arrived our shores, I knew this is a brand that I would spend a portion of my "makeup money"!  And after trying out their 3 lip products under the Virgin Kiss Line, I knew I had to go back to Club Clio and check out for more shades!

What's good about this line is that you get to play mix and match and you can easily create gradient lips with the help of Silkuid Lip!

Weekend Food Trip at: Sear Steak Scullery

Ever since my son entered Pre-K at Banawe, QC, I probably made the "rounds" to almost ALL restaurants located in that location!  One of the most recent discovery is at Sear Steak Scullery. 

Sear Steak Scullery is one of the very few steak restaurants located at the said area so I am a bit excited in trying out the menu from there.  It's located at 238 Building which you will find other restaurants like King Chef, Tokyo Bubble Tea etc... around.

Now once you book a table, you will get a basket of their homemade pandesal which made my heart flutter!  It's the best tasting pandesal I've tried in my entire life and we actually tried purchasing these but these aren't on sale!

As much as the excitement were there, it died down a bit when we tried their fried dishes!

 Onion Rings

Php169.00

Deep fried breaded onions with cajun spice and tartar sauce.

I find that they added a bit too much of the cajun spice which I find a bit overwhelming for yummy onions.  

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."
