Clinique Pop Matte's Blushing Pop is a Perfect Nude!

I am so obsessed with Nudes and Brown lipsticks nowadays I almost do not wear much color on my lips!  I have a recent favorite shade for daily use and I've found it in none other than one of my favorite skincare brand of all time --- Clinique!

Under the Clinique Pop line, I knew this line has more vibrant and vivid shades!  It was a lovely surprise to see this color on counter and I fell in love!

You get my point why this is a-must daily lip color?

Clinique Pop Matte in Blushing Pop

If you read my previous post on the recent launch of Clinique's Pop Matte Lipsticks, you can see that the packaging is so cute because you get the exact color of the packaging and the lipstick shade!  So imagine owning lots of these and having them displayed on your dresser table?  

My first Pop Matte lip color is in shade 6 Rose Pop and that is my ultimate "Look at me!" shade.  If I am off to an event or party, I really go for that because it lifts my whole face giving me that "I know how to party vibe!"  

The Manila Hotel's Champagne Room Date With Mr. AMW

And this once-in-a-million date deserves a RomCom-like Poster.  Any titles in mind dear AMW Friends?

The Manila Hotel is not just rich in history, it is a hotel that is very close to my heart because I actually went in there so many times during College Days for my HRM (Hotel Restaurant Management) subject.  We had a project wherein we are required to pick a hotel who are willing to do an interview and share to us the job and responsibilities of each department.

The Manila Hotel is one of the most sought after hotel as a "subject" for the whole batch!  I remembered doing everything I can to "woo" the HR Department for them to grant us access and interview each department's Managers.  An impossible task?  Not for me!  I obviously got the access and every time I visit this hotel brought me back to so much "feels" and gives me the goosebumps!  Because hey, I got uno (1) for this particular project!

And nothing beats reminiscing my college days with my high school sweetheart Mr. AMW at the hotel's famed Champagne Room.  Because as much as we can get away with fast food, there are days we just want to chill, enjoy impeccably-prepared dishes in an outstanding ambience.

Esfolio Sun SPF 50+ PA+++ Review

Over the course of 4 months, I was able to finish up 4 tubes of face sunblock because for the first 3 months, I literally wait outside Kyle's school under the sun so I apply sunblock more than usual due to prolong exposure to the harmful UV rays.  

One product that really made it to the cut in terms of "feel", texture, comfort is the Esfolio SPF 50+ PA+++ (Php549.00) .

It doesn't hurt that the packaging is so pretty and unique!  Sits prettily at my dresser table.

The reason why the packaging is shaped like a leaf because one of the main ingredient of this product is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf.

Effectively moisturizes, conditions, and soothes skin with aloe barbadensis leaf extract; helps fight free radical damage with camellia sinensis leaf extract; boosts elasticity with hydrolyzed collagen; tones and purifies with witch hazel leaf extract; nourishes with matricaria extract and tocopheryl acetate; provides broad spectrum protection against UV rays with SPF 50+ PA+++

BLK Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeliner Review

When BLK Cosmetics launched a couple of weeks ago!  One of the few products I immediately tested are the lipsticks then their Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeliner, just because I use liquid eyeliner on a daily basis too because it helps enhance my eyes even without the need of eyeshadow.

Thankfully BLK Cosmetics offers 2 shades, Black and Brown.  The Black one could look a bit too strong for daily mom-on-the-go look so I always opted for Brown, and as you all know, seldom do you find good brown liner color that gives the right amount of intensity.

Housed in a black liquid pencil liner packaging, it has a green strip which I'm unsure if the color changes if the color of the liner is black.  I like the simplicity of the design and the logo located at the center.

BLK Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeliner Says ---

Smudge-proof, foolproof liquid eyeliner glides like velvet, delivering intense pigment that lasts all day - no need for touch-ups.

2 shades: Black and Brown
