Infallible Pro Matte Gloss is More Than A Gloss!



They are demi-matte, extra rich and creamy lip product that made me use the millennial term: "I am Shookt!"

The moment I had these L'Oreal Infallible Pro Matte Gloss tubes in front of me, I let out a serious *yawn* because glosses for me are boring, they are shiny, hydrating and maybe, they all look the same when applied on my dark, pigmented lips!  

Obviously, judging by the look of my photos below, I was wrong!  And this time, I'm glad I was VERY wrong!

For gals who loves the insanely pigmented matte liquid lipsticks, this may be the solution to US because I am saying goodbye to dry and crusty lips!

Weekend Food Trip at: Sarsa Kitchen + Bar





I had an event next door at Yoree last year when Mr. AMW and Kyle waited for me at the nearby restaurant called Sarsa Kitchen + Bar.  The moment I met up with them, Mr. AMW gushed about the yummy and best Chicken Inasal he tried!

Fast forward to months after when we've decided to take Kyle to BGC just to roam around and have fun, I told Mr. AMW I wanted to try the "Best Chicken Inasal" in town and of course, try out the rest of the dishes because I've read positive reviews online.

Can You Go Barefaced?




I honestly can!  Even with dark undereye circles, laugh lines and a whole lot of skin redness, I guess, I'm at this very comfortable stage of "I don't care what other people think because this is really the way I look!"  


But of course, even with barefaced look, I still believe in using SPF!  So why not include an added bonus aside from just protecting yourself from the harmful rays of the sun?

I recently tried Tony Moly Flash Primer that comes with SPF30 PA++!  It is also a BB & CC starter which I think works in making my skin "glow" even in reality, my skin is as flat and boring as Sahara Desert. (Sorry Sahara Desert, I'm sure you look prettier but I'm just making a point on how dry my skin is!) :P

I honestly feel I have a good lighting right in front of my face wearing this product!

As confusing as this product sounds, the basic functions are ---

  • As a primer: used before applying your base makeup to help moisturize skin and keep makeup longer.
  • Natural luminizer: This product comes with delicate pink pearls to make skin appears luminous and bright.
  • Brightens your skin and keeps it flawless-looking.
  • BB & CC: Naturally covers certain pores and redness to make skin appears even.

Cleansing Water or Cleansing Water Oil In?




I had a funny IG DM conversation with good friend/Shobe Marj about the best feeling in the world at the end of the day ---

  • Removing Contacts
  • Removing Bra
  • Removing Lashes
It was 3 checks for both of us but now, I'm adding up REMOVING MAKE UP as the 4th best-feeling in the world for a woman before calling it a night!  Well...that's just me!  Kindly let me know on comment box what other "best felling" you can add!

I use ALL Types of makeup removers ever since I started wearing makeup!  Because I believe to keep your skin in good and healthy condition is to always remove makeup completely before you go to sleep no matter how tired you are!  

Thankfully, brands are coming up with easier-to-use makeup removers and you actually have a choice for removing hardcore makeup or just remove simple makeup!

Kracie came up with Kreer Cleansing Waters to help cut short daily makeup cleansing regime with just one step.  This is called 4-in-1 because it works as makeup remover, facial cleanser, exfoliator and toner in one.

Creer Cleansing Water is a no rinsing required regimen but of course, I still highly recommend to add up a cleansing step if you have time!

Goodal Green Tangerine Skincare Initial Thoughts



After trying out Korean Face Masks, I actually went into the Korean skincare craze and was actively trying out Korean brands.  Not the 7 steps, 12 steps or 20 steps but just the simplest K-Beauty Skincare routine. 

I recently tried Goodal Green Tangerine line (not all of them) but 3 of them --- Green Tangerine Moisturizing Foam, Moist Fresh Toner and Moist Serum.  Not complete, but good enough to jumpstart with this brand and see if these works.

Let's start with the Goodal Green Tangerine Moist Cleansing Foam (Php420.00).  This product got me at "moist" cleansing because it is very difficult for me to look for a gentle cleanser that won't strip off the remaining moisture from my face!
