I am a #PhilipsMOMforMoms Ambassador



Dress: SM Woman, Shoes: Cole Haan
Thanks Ms. Trixie Esguerra for taking my photos

When I was asked to join this advocacy called Philips MOM for Moms, I did a bit of research online and immediately said YES!

Why?

Well, firstly, Philips is a leading health technology company and has always done various projects to hep improve the lives of mankind.

Today, they are embarking on a grand and never-before-done feat of monitoring mothers-to-be who are at high risk of pregnancy-related complications in the Philippines.

The event was held at Makati Diamond Residences last November 21st and was hosted by fellow mommy Ms. Issa Litton.

The Body Shop Eye Colour Stick in Cyprus Bronze Is Au Naturelle!



The secret to completing a lot of tasks as a Blogger, Mom, PR and Brand Consultant, Makeup Trainer (and a lot more!) is not about being a natural-born Superwoman, it is, in my opinion as plain as a single word called "RUSHING".  

I know the things to be rushed and things to give importance an make time!  I can whip up a family dinner good for 5-6 heads in less than 30 minutes, spend time teaching my son and bond with him with Arts and Activities for an hour and do my makeup in 3-5 minutes flat!

PRIORITIES.  A secret I hold for almost 5 years now since turning into a mom!  

As much as I missed the whole hoobaloo of makeup application, my look isn't really a priority especially if I only need to go out for errands!  There may be times I need to prettify myself and use extra time for events, but most of the time, my makeup is super low key and I believe fellow mommies would understand.

Now, with the love for low key makeup, I highly depend on makeup products that is very quick and easy to use!  I recently discovered my love affair for Eye Pencils when I used the one from Etude House and added my collection with the newest one from The Body Shop.

Cathy Doll Brow Mascara Review




Way before I got addicted to Brow Pencils, Brow Powders and Brow Gels, my love affair for Brow products started with a product called Brow Mascara.

"Brow Mascara what?"  That's the exact phrase my brother texted when I asked him to help me purchase my favorite Brow Mascara whenever he stops over Hong Kong.  People weren't really into brow products back then and Brow Mascaras are almost non-existent in the Philippine Market.

Fast forward to today, I am so happy I am a Beauty Blogger and even happier than there are more Brow Mascara choices now!  Being a Beauty blogger made me want to search for more new and upcoming products and brands and one of the promising brand I found is from Cathy Doll.

Okay, I have worked with the brand for more than a year now but seriously, they always hear my honest thoughts on the products they are bringing in.  One of the product I raised both hands for them to bring it in is called Cathy Doll Brow Mascara --- call me selfish (because I use them dearly), but after trying and testing this out, I knew my country has to try it too!  (naks!  My country talaga!)

The Cathy Doll Brow mascara is available in 4 yummy sounding shades - Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Creamy Caramel and Hazelnut.  

I know most of you chocolate lovers are thinking about your favorite chocolate brands now, me, I'm thinking about Coffee Flavors!  #lol

I got the shade Dark Chocolate which is the darkest shade from the bunch.  Housed in a "Cathy Doll-like" packaging (translate: CUTE), I like the stripes and gold!

The size of the product is just right and the wand is perfect in length and brush head is not too small or big!  I find this very easy and comfortable to use!
