Elizabeth Arden Red Door Speed Services

Everybody's on a rush nowadays even I can't spend more than 2 hours of "me time" just because I have to accomplish multiple tasks in a day plus I have to take in consideration traffic hours thus I spend most of my time driving instead of relaxing.

For a tired mom like myself or any tired person in general, I am sure we appreciate those mini "window of free time" to rejuvenate ourselves.  To some, it is shopping, while others go for a quiet time inside a coffee shop.  As for me, I like to do some pampering but with limited time.

Elizabeth Arden recently launched The Red Door Speed Services at Trinoma and I am so excited to have tried the services on my own.

Elizabeth Arden wanted to fulfill the total beauty needs of today's busy and active women, a team of beauty experts in store will be offering express services aimed to pamper, rejuvenate and relax consumer.

Here's the best part, The Red Door Speed Services are complimentary for Elizabeth Arden customers.

Let me guide you to the services they offer:

1. Booster Bar
Customized Oxygen Blast available in Lifting, Detoxifying, Brightening and Hydrating. This 15-minute spa refresher includes cleansing and toning, followed by a quick mist of customers’ preferred Oxygen Blast serum delivered via an airbrush stylus.

I've done this but was so relaxed I wasn't able to take a photo of it!  But it is worth every single minute because I can see my skin recharged almost immediately!

Cream Silk's Customized Solution + My New Hair Color

I color my hair "as long as I can remember".  

From boxed color treatment to having it done professionally at salons.  Given the chance that my hair could talk, well..let's not go there.

BUT, in my defense, I take care of my hair dearly!  I use conditioner on a daily basis and use hair treatment at least twice a week.  

So imagine just how many tubes of conditioners I use up in a month?

That's why I was squealing with joy when I received Cream Silk's newest range called Customized Solutions.  I noticed that they also changed their packaging with more "relate-able" models as they are our country's well-known personalities (Heart Evangelista, Coleen Garcia, Nadine Lustre, Pia Wurtzbach, Yassi Pressman, Julie Anne San Jose, and Rachelle Ann Go.)

The 7 customized solutions covers all Filipinas' Hair Needs, from Standout Straight to Hair Fall Defense, Damage Control, Stunning Shine, Dry Rescue, Dandruff-Free and Color Protect. 

I'm sure like me,  you probably wanted to try ALL variants.

But since I color my hair a lot!  And I recently had my hair "Balayage-d" at HairShaft Salon, Podium, Fred Penales went all out with Ash tone Balayage.  My hair is extremely light with all shades of Ash and I can imagine my hair getting dry in a week's time!  SO I'm definitely arming myself with Color Protect Conditioner from Cream Silk and so far, the experience was wonderful!

My Second Nomination Composable Bracelet

If you follow me on Instagram and #AMWIgStories , you've probably seen me and fellow mommy Jackie picked our Nomination Composable Bracelets last May to celebrate Mother's Day.

After using it for 3 full months, I knew a second one won't hurt because I just love it so much!

I went for their newest collection called Bella La Vita (Life is Beautiful).  This is a special edition 30 years bracelet in steel and I love it that it comes with my favorite jewelry shade Rose Gold!

"Original Composable Classic bracelet in stainless steel with coloured PVD 9K rose gold finish and "Bella la Vita" Double Charm. Medium size: 17 cm. Available in 3 variants. Special Packaging. Made in Italy. This precious Made in Italy jewellery celebrates our 30th anniversary. The “Bella la Vita” bracelet, dedicated to those who, like us, believe that life is beautiful!"

To celebrate my beautiful life, I just added 2 butterfly dangling charms also in Rose Gold because it signifies how I mature to be a butterfly soaring high, chasing after one dream at a time!

Tarte Tarteist Review

How does it feel to hold the most coveted Tarte Tarteist Pro Glow?
All thanks to my good friend Jheng for gifting me this because this palette deserves a shoutout and lots of "whistling" for being wonderful in terms of giving me the sculpt and glow that I want (and need!)

So pretty I can even skip applying face powder!

"A highlight and contour palette with six pigmented powder and cream shades to create perfectly glowing, chiseled looks on every skin tone." 

This product is housed in a velvety black cardboard palette.  I like the feel but I actually felt it gets dirtied up quite easily so I tend to put it back in the box after EVERY use (which is a hassle by the way). 

CLINIQUE x JONATHAN ADLER Collection

If you are a long-time AMW reader, you should know by now that one skincare brand I really love is Clinique!  I've said it before and will be saying it again and again that I may have tried so many skincare brands in the market (for the sake of review) but one brand that really healed my dry skin issues is Clinique!

So when I learned that one of my favorite skincare and makeup brand Clinique collaborated with Jonathan Adler (A potter, designer and author), I knew the brand will be coming up with something colorful, exciting and luxurious.

After seeing the collection in the flesh in one of the Clinique stores recently, I knew I have to share the details with you!
