My Birthday Face!

Hey AMW Friends!

So before we bid farewell to the month of February, I want to say --- It's My Birthday!!!  

There won't be anything super special today, I will still drive my son to and from school, be with him during nap time, study and do art activities with him and just a simple dinner with my family.

Yes, it seems like a normal day to all of you but that is what I choose to do on my birthday!  I'd rather stay home and spend time with my loved ones!

What will be my birthday look as I"m getting close to 40?  39 to be exact if you are still counting, this is the simplest look I have in mine with the help of Pink Sugar's newest HD Cheek Color and Sugar Tint Lip And Cheek Tint --- these 2 new products were released for the Valentine's season but I felt this is appropriate for how I feel on my special day --- Very much LOVED!  (By my friends, family and YOU!)

Let's start with glowing cheeks, I like cheeks that doesn't exude a lot of COLOR but more of cheeks looking fresh and glowing from within.  I was able to achieve that with the new HD Cheek Color shade in Paris Lights.

A Concealer That Can Cover Your Deepest Darkest Secret

If there's OMG moment for a concealer (coming from someone who uses A LOT of concealer), I will give it to CLIO's Kill Cover Pro Artist Liquid Concealer!  I know I've raised my hat on the Kill Cover Conceal-dation but there is something extremely unique about this concealer I can't help but gush about it!

Kill Cover Pro Artist Liquid Concealer

Php820.00

Available locally at Club Clio

Swatch: Shade 04 BO

This is one of the darker shade and I am thankful this works perfectly for my undereye area since it has yellow undertone.  

"Orange" You Glad It's Summer Time?

Not Really. 

But I'm glad it's my birthday soon!

Just a few more days and I'm turning a year older!  I don't feel any day older though, I guess I am surrounded by fun and young people I get all the youthful energy!  And let's not forget, I like cute, pretty stuff that makes me happy every single day!

Today, I am wearing a lip color I absolutely dislike *laughs*  But that's just me, Orange lipstick really isn't my thing but this lipstick that I got from NYX Cosmetics called NYX Full Throttle is a type of lipstick worth checking out!  I don't know how this got into my kit (I mean, THIS COLOR in particular) but who am I to judge?  This color is particularly LOVELY on photo!  A bit shocking neon orange in person but really beautiful on photos! 

According to NYX Cosmetics ---

"It’s the color addict’s ultimate fix and a makeup artist’s dream: Our new waterproof Full Throttle Lipstick covers your lips with super-saturated matte color and features a unique bullet with a beveled edge for lining, filling and perfecting your pout to your heart’s desire."

 

Birthday Food Trip at: Nono's Comfort Food, Podium

I told you so many times that February is my favorite month because ---
1. Cool weather
2. Valentine's Day
3. Chinese New Year - most of the time, my brother would come home for family reunion.
4. My Birthday!

Well, the last part, I'm not that excited anymore, who's excited growing older? 

But, what excites me is the fact that I get to celebrate so many times!  With friends, with both families (mine and Mr. AMW) and just US (the AMW Fam!)

My language of love will always be bonding over food (that explains why I'm not losing weight!)  And February definitely is a month of CELEBRATION!  (Can we play that song over here?)

Personalized Professional Makeup KIT by DOB

Me with my newet DOB Pro Makeup Bag!

A couple of years ago, I purchased my ZUCA case for approximately Php12,000+ and that was a LONG time ago!  I never used or purchased any other makeup traincase after using the ZUCA bag because it works for me in SO MANY WAYS ---

• Easy to tote around whether hotels or on location shoots.
• Comes with pouches so I can easily separate makeup based from category. (1 bag for base makeup, 1 bag for blush and powders, 1 bag for lipsticks, another 1 for eyeshadows etc...)
• Easy to set and organize makeup on ANY table as I just pull out the bag, fold the cover and Voila!  I have my own "drawers"!
• Looks neat for both MUA and clients.
• Easy to pack up, since I can return the products easily after every use.  Once done with work, I only need to close the zipper and insert the utility bags inside the KIT and I'm ready to leave!
• I can sit on it and boy oh boy does this HELP A LOT!  There were so many times during a shoot that chair really isn't a thing!  So I am proud to say, I have my own chair anytime, any day!
• Perfect size for travel, can be used as a handcarry so your makeups are well-protected.  Aside from that, the bag can easily pass through airplane aisles!
• Multi-purpose, this KIT is not only for makeups but for any other stuff you desire.  (Art materials for artists, clothes for traveler, gadgets for Photographers/videographers and a whole lot more!)
• Can store other products like makeup tools even my extension cord as the bag has a lot of zippered compartments.
