CBTL's 2018 Gift Giving Journal Deserves Finger Heart!

Have you taken a peek though the 2018 Giving Journal from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf?

You should!  Because this 10th year anniversary planner has a wonderful design perfect for gift and personal use!

For companies who rooted in giving whole year round, I think they deserve a space in my blog + MORE!  So please share this wonderful news to share blessings in other people's lives because that is really the spirit of Christmas!

Now on its 10th year of the Giving Journal, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® celebrates its journey of giving through the years with a central theme: LEAVE A LEGACY. The brand dedicates its 10th year to its purpose - to empower each individual to live excellently and purposefully by living a life of service to others. They believe that each person has a responsibility to leave a legacy of profound good, impacting the lives of others, and that is why for 2018, the brand encourages its community to not only ask questions such as “What do I want to do?” Or “What are my goals?” but instead, to ask one’s self “What are my roles?” and “What does the world need from me?” As we set our hearts on another year, the The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®’s hopeful mission is this: to enable its community to expand their vision by including others.

Avon True Color Perfectly Matte - The Natural Colors I Love!

When Avon sent out their full collection of their True Color Perfectly Matte Lipsticks, I wasn't as excited to try and test them because at the back of my head, I thought these would be extremely drying and won't work well with my lip condition.

But for the sake of review and because I've been reading raves online, I've decided to pick my top 4 favorite shade and tested them out for more than 2 weeks!  If you follow me on Instagram, you'll see on #AMWIgStories how many times I've worn and loved them!

The full collection available in 20 shades!

Why Big Guys Pizza Can Be Your Choice To Bring Holiday Cheers!

After working from home for almost 5 years, I realized that I'm missing something about having a physical office!  I missed those random Birthday Celebrations, Halloween Parties, Valentine's Day Celebration and of course, Christmas Parties!  

Food has always been the biggest happiness in any office and since I don't have one, I'm happy to bring cheer to someone elses' office --- Mr. AMW's!

How to make sure to fill-up at least 15 tummies?  Call on The Biggest Pizza in the Philippines!

I know some of you have heard about Big Guys Pizza!  And thankfully, the founder knew how it feels like to feed a handful of mouths so he decided to offer this HUGE pizza to serve all Filipino needs of gatherings and parties!

Madame Heng Soaps are now in the Philippines!

A lot of people shop whenever they go to Thailand.  I, on the other hand, prefer to immerse myself into their culture and actually like to talk to locals and do what locals do!  That includes trying out their bestselling products and even dine in non-touristy restaurants! 

Thai women are known to a more natural approach when it comes to skincare and I like that!  One brand that pops whenever I do research is called Madame Heng.

Madame Heng, is an all-natural facial wonder that has been around for more than half a century.  The popular Thai brand takes pride in their soaps, which are made from pure and natural ingredients, with different variants specializing in various skin needs. The meticulous attention to detail and passion for creating a natural and effective product has paved the way for the success of Madame Heng’s soaps, which started from humble beginnings.

Made by Heng Shui Hiu for the family's use, she later gave samples to her neighbors and the rest was history!  I'm glad I get to finally try these and feel like I am one of the lucky neighbor of Ms. Heng!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser Concealer

So the Saga for Concealers continue....and I got my hands on the most coveted concealer from the Beauty Blogging community!  The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser Concealer!  I've seen Beauty YouTuber (both localand international) raving about this!  So when I learned this is FINALLY available in the Philippines, I got so excited, moved all the concealers I've been using aside and tested this for almost a month!  1 week in Korea and the rest of the days here.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Eraser Concealer

Php399.00

This super-concentrated treatment concealer features a micro-corrector applicator to help instantly erase dark circles and fine lines.

This concealer for dark circles and fine lines instantly creates a radiant, refreshed looking eye area. Infused with goji berry and Haloxyl™. Packaging may vary, what you receive may not be what is reflected on site.

You have to "twist" the collar of the concealer in the direction of arrows until you see the concealer visible on sponge!  It took me approximately 10-15 twists.  Not bad!
