Highlight, Warm-up and Color My Cheeks in a Single Swipe

You probably know by now how important it is to warm-up your face, highlight and color your face.  With that, I bet you are picking up at least 3 products on a daily basis just to apply on ONE area --- the Cheeks!  

I recently discovered a drugstore brand that can do all 3 in a second!  Shawill Make-up!  

I have discovered Shawill years ago when I was just starting up on blogging, the brand is still here for almost a decade, that said, I'm sure they have a loyal following and I'm glad to be able to try their products again!

Make Up For Ever Artist Rouge Light Review

“Step into the light with ARTIST ROUGE LIGHT, a luminous lipstick with pure and brilliant colors in a lightweight and hydrating texture.”

That's according to Make Up For Ever when I received 5 gorgeous shades of their newest lipstick line --- the Artist Rouge Light.  And guess what?  It is finally easy for me to transform from Nuder, Sweeter, Sexier, Younger and Better with just a single swipe of lipstick!  

That's my secret in looking different on a daily basis without changing my overall makeup look.  Here's a proof!

 


These lipsticks come in the same box as the Artist Rouge Mat and Creme, but, the similarity kinda ends there!

 Instead of the usual "matte" tube packaging, this one is glossy!

Weekend Food Trip at: Belleville Cafe

Ever getting married, I make sure to free up my weekends for both families (mine and Mr. AMW's).  And because of that, I always try to search for new cafes and restaurants just to bond and catch-up.  I love Cafe Restaurants more because of the quiet vibe plus I can enjoy a good cup of coffee after a hearty meal.

One resto-cafe that caught my attention is called Belleville Cafe, located at Tomas Morato, it wasn't difficult to search as long as you have Waze and it was a perfect "bonding" experience with my family because we got the place to ourselves!

The ambiance is very cozy and homey and you get to see books and magazines where you can actually read and borrow.  The only unique part is that, you need to go out to order outside (and pay) and to use the washroom, you literally have to pass through the "order area" and go into someone else's home!  *lol*  It wasn't an issue for me because you felt like you're staying at a friend's place for dinner!

Now, what about the food?  They serve mostly coffee, pasta and sandwiches but they also serve some hot dishes!

Kracie Ichikami Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner Review

I've had this pair of Ichikami Moisturizing Hair Series for months now but I just got the chance to use this a month ago!  I have this "mommy-mode" of using up the shampoo and conditioner pair before going to the next one!  #ImATitaLikeThat

This pair is Sulfate and Silicone Free that's why I highly use this especially now that I have very light-colored hair!  The Kracie Ichikami came up with 2 hair care series --- Revitalizing (For Dry, Dull and Damaged Hair) and Moisturizing (For Frizzy, Dry Hair and Scalp).

The pair is formulated with Apricot Oil which promotes hair growth and adds shine to hair and also Tea Flower Extract which helps moisturize the hair to prevent dandruff.  After using the pair for a month, here's what I have to say ---

How To Keep Your Makeup Look Fresh All Day!

For someone with extremely dry skin and who loves to use powder or powder foundation a lot, I am quite surprised to always get compliment from friends and colleagues who always say: "Ang fresh mo naman!"  (You look so fresh!)  Even when deep inside, I feel like dying inside from heat, lack of sleep and muscle pain.  

There are so many times I tend to forget to hydrate myself and the liquid I consume for the full morning is just a cup of coffee (BAD!  Please don't do this at home!)  So seriously, where is the freshness that people see?

I realized, one thing that I never forget to do is to hydrate my skin!  It would be so much better if I hydrate myself both on the inside and outside but thankfully, I never forget to use hydrating mists to rejuvenite my skin especially midday.

I've used up several brands, from Origins GinZing Energy-Boosting Treatment Lotion Mist to Esfolio Aloe Vera Moisture Soothing Gel Mist.  My most recent one is from Kanebo.
