A Reddish Orange Lipstick That I Can Actually Wear + Important Tip!

If you are a fan of lipsticks, you probably knew some key rules by now especially on how to make your teeth appear whiter!

Sometimes, you don't have to be a Professional Make Up Artist to know the tricks.  You know it by heart if a particular lip color works for you or not.  As for me, I knew from the very start that orange-y lip colors really aren't my best friend.  They do not just make my teeth yellower than usual, it makes my overall look dark and I appear to have acidic skin (even if I don't!)

Now, keep in mind that yellow and orange base lip colors tend to bring out the same hues on your teeth but again, there will be some exceptions to the rule!  I actually found a reddish orange lip color that I can actually wear!  It's not my favorite lipstick out of the bunch but I am happy to announce, I can wear it and not look like I'm toasted under the sun!

Can you guess the brand?

Kenji Tei, Lucky Chinatown

Whenever I'm tired, I always request for Ramen Dish, Ramen is my comfort food, it hugs my soul and it gives me that soothing sensation.  

Yes, Ramen gives me that :P

So after a full day of work and down with cough and colds, I invited my family to join me at Kenji Tei, Lucky Chinatown Branch.  Mr. AMW and I were discussing on whether we tried this restaurant before or not.  Thank God for AMW posts, I was able to track back our first Kenji Tei experience which was at Greenbelt branch year 2012.

So obviously, I forgot how their food tastes like but I don't mind dining again because I was craving for Ramen and there are only a few Japanese Restaurants at Lucky Chinatown.

Chashu Miso Ramen

Php375.00

I still have my heart on another ramen brand but this one isn't bad!  The broth is extremely flavorful (not really thick but just right) and the noodles is al dente.  I love the Chashu because it has the perfect amount of lean meat and fat making it extremely tender.

AMW Workshop Series Part 8: I Woke Up Like This

3 Years Ago, I prayed for my own workshop.  A venue were makeup and skincare enthusiasts bond together with good food, great lessons, beauty session and a whole lot of make up and skincare items!  

Who would've thought this will be my 8th workshop?  I am so amazed by how God works in mysterious ways!  I love how he made me an instrument in making girls feel beautiful in and out! 

AMW Workshop Series Part 8 is called I Woke Up Like This.  This is to jumpstart year 2018 with having more time to reach our goals while looking good!  As requested by many of you, I've created a short course on how to create simple, natural, yet effective-looking makeup that helps enhance your natural beauty in the shortest time possible!  

And this photo speaks: "We All Woke Up Like This"!  

I love everyone's makeovers!

Firstly, as always, I want to thank our dear sponsors who generously share their wonderful makeup products.  ALL makeups used by participants during that day are from these wonderful sponsors!

If you don't believe me, you better look at this traincase-full of items!  All AMW Workshoppers get to take home everything you see in the photo below (except makeup traincase)

Althea's New Skincare Line

Everybody who's into K-Beauty products probably heard or shopped at Althea at least once in their life!  I've shopped their so many times for items I can't find locally and I have unboxed my packages so many times a lot of you would think I'm sponsored (80% of the time, I'm not!  I pay for my own orders!)

I recently heard about the launch of their Petal Velvet Powder which was a mattifying, translucent powder that sets makeup and leaves behind a smooth, silky satin finish.  I gave it a skip because you know my skin type - I'm dry, I need moisture!  So it is okay for me to miss this out.

But, when I heard about the newest skincare line called Althea's Bare Essentials, I knew I had to dip my hands on them because this is said to be crafted products that gives the benefits of the infamous 10-step Korean Skincare Routine rolled into 3 quick and easy steps.

Now, who doesn't want that?  I know I can't do 10-steps, I just don't have the time (lucky you if you can, and may you please go ahead with that), as for me, I try to minimize my beauty regimen as much as possible because sleep is more important to me!

As expected, the 3 products Althea is mentioning talks about --- cleansing, toning and moisturizing.

The ORIGINAL Penguin Store

I have known about the brand Original Penguin for many years now!  I've first seen their store in Hong Kong and actually owned quite a few because I love how comfortable they feel and how they last no matter how many washes!

But these days, style has evolved, people are starting to wear more fashionable pieces (no matter how uncomfortable they are!)  I have gone through the same bandwagon and have worn several uncomfortable clothing just to feel how it is to be part of fashion!

Now where's the comfort in fashion you say?

Thankfully, the Original Penguin offers more than just comfort, they offer a whole lot of style, even lifestyle!

The new Rockwell location showcases Original Penguin’s aesthetic of contemporary style, without compromising classic appeal. The brand is now larger than ever, becoming a one-stop shop that features its classic and latest collections of apparel and accessories, alongside its newest offerings, bedding and luggage. It has also become the first international fashion brand to hold a full-service barbershop inside its retail stores.
