Jordana FabuBrow Eyebrow Pencil Review

How many brow pencils have I reviewed?  A LOT!

And I will keep on reviewing them because I believe that's YOUR most requested product to review!  

I've read all your queries, I've seen all your DMs especially when I talk about brows on #AMWIgStories  I understand the strong need for a good pair of brows because... I recently saw a video of myself 10 years ago and I look different with a thin line of brows!  (Yes girls, once in my life, I had this super thin, worm-like brows plastered on top of my eyes!)

One brand that I tried is from Jordana USA called FabuBrow Eyebrow Pencil.  I got the shade 02 Medium Brown which I think is a universally flattering shade for most Filipinas.

On US website, they have 6 shades to choose from --- 01 Taupe, 02 Medium Brown, 03 Dark Brown, 04 Light Taupe 05 Soft Brown and 06 Midnight Brown.  But in the Philippines, I believe they only carry 3 shades (Taupe, Medium Brown and Dark Brown).  I personally wish they have something that would cater girls with redheads!

I thank the Jordana USA heavens that they did not create anything with "black" because black should never be used on brows!  Even with extremely dark hair, I highly recommend Dark Brown or Gray shade!

A Liquid Foundation That Can Be Used Daily

Half serious, half crazy.  

That's me in real life and that's me on photo proud wearing makeup only half of the face! I have been roadtesting the new Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup for 2 weeks now and I am starting to love it... a lot!

Housed in a super thick glass bottle with a nice gold brand name printed so beautifully.  I knew I had to try this well-raved foundation especially in our humid weather.  I mean seriously, I've read raves from fellow beauty junkies internationally but most of the time, the effect is different once tested in a tropical country.

Proven 24-hour staying power. The same long-wear makeup you love, now proven to last even longer. Looks flawless and natural. Feels lightweight and so comfortable, you won't believe it's super long wear. Won't change color, smudge or come off on clothes. Lasts through heat and humidity.
Oil-free. Oil-Controlling. Dermatologist-tested. Non-acnegenic; won't clog pores. Fragrance-free.
Medium to full coverage. Matte finish. Proven 24 hour wear.

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.
