My Keeping It Together Travel Essentials




Since Kyle came to the world, Mr. AMW and I didn't travel as much as we did in the past but now that he's 4, I am a little but pulling myself away from our usual "clingy-ness".  So this year, I said YES to 2 business trips (both in Thailand) and it worked pretty well.  I missed him a lot (so does he) but we survived the #sepanx !  

Since most of my trips are short yet very busy!  I make sure to make most of my organization skills!  I make sure I practice my "OC" skills not only in makeup artistry but also when it comes to packing my things.  

I kind of mastered that when I had to lug ONE YEAR'S Worth of AMW items for 1 full year when I worked abroad inside a 30kg luggage!  So a short 4 days trip is just a walk at a park -- with the help of my favorite brand for organization --- K.I.T. Keeping It Together!

Aside from my favorite containers from the said brand, I was recently gifted an Airline Carry On Clear Travel Bag (Sets of 4) (Php395.00), a monogrammed KIT Jiro Bag Organizer (Php445.00-495.00) and KIT Jiro Shoe Bag (Php495.00-550.00).  

These are heaven-sent!  Thanks Mich!


For the bag organizer, this is perfect for my Anello Bag because it goes way to the bottom.  Since this backpack is structured, I can easily reach out for my wallet, ballpen, comb, lipbalm, alcohol or any random stuff I need that I can carry inside the plane!  I also like the zippered portion where I can keep important stuff like my license and credit card.



As for the Airline Carry On Clear Travel Pouches, I highly appreciate these like the invention of internet!  As much as I love cute designed pouches, when it comes to travel, I like them clear so I can easily see what I need!

ABBC 2017 Philippines and Thailand Competition



God is really good to me when he gave me the opportunity to host the Asian Beauty Blogger Contest 2017 Philippines.  It happened so quickly I almost didn't get the chance to recover from all the excitement.



If you haven't watched the videos, the 3-part Competition has been uploaded on Cathy Doll Philippines' Youtube page.

Esfolio Black Caviar Hydrogel Eye Patch Review



Comes in a form of Esfolio Black Caviar Hydrogel Eye Patch.

I was shocked when I first used this!  I didn't believe how such product could literally "tighten" up my undereye area, lessening a bit of the puffiness almost in an instant!  

And this is NOT an infommercial.  #LOL

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!
