Achieve Glowing Skin with Pixi

So I have been a fan of Glowing Skin since the start of 2018!  I don't even mind putting facial oils in my foundation to achieve that glowing skin look! 

Why?  Because glowing skin makes anyone look younger, makes your skin looks healthier and best of all?  You look like you had weekly facial visits!

Agree?

The downside about putting facial oils in your makeup routine is how your skin will look greasy, oily and dirty at the end of the day considering our almost 40 degrees weather in the Philippines.  So because I know most readers have normal/combination and oily skin, I've thought of doing a Glowing Skin look using products that won't add up to the natural oil of your skin, instead, it lessens oil but gives additional glow! 

A good deal right?

I got that glow on my first photo using Pixi By Petra Glow-y Gossamer Duo 

in shade Delicate Dew.

The Best Way to Prime Your Skin Before Makeup

I used to buy just one primer and use it all over my face and wonder why I'm not a fan of it.

Then after years of learning about makeup and skincare and continuous learning, I realized that in both makeup and skincare, Mathematics must be included because we should learn to add and subtract.

Add hydration where hydration is needed and subtract grease where it is not needed.

We thought it was as simple as that but it also takes effort to choose the right type of primers that would aid you and your skin to be ready for makeup.

I recently chanced upon the newest product from Sleek MakeUp, they finally came up with their own primer and they are available in 2 variants --- Mattifying Primer for Soft-Focus Finish and Hydrating Primer for Moisturising.

I used to just go for Hydrating primers and skip the Mattifying ones because I always tell YOU I have dry skin but after years of treating my dry skin, I turned out to have combination skin --- Normal and Dry.  So here's the best way for met o apply Primer and you can maybe get a tip or 2 from this post!

Sleek MakeUP Mattifying Primer helps reduce oil for flawless looking, matte skin. Soft-focus powders provide a velvety finish and help blur the appearance of fine lines. While the Sleek MakeUP hydrating lightweight primer moisturizes the skin for flawless looking makeup application. The moisture-rich formula contains known hydrating ingredients and makes skin feel smooth.

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Lip Booster Review

After the launch of the full HD line last year, I used Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Lip Booster in Universal (clear) so many times on #AMWIGStories , I even finished up 2 full tubes and I can't believe I did not blog about it!

I have received several DM's on Instagram asking me which particular lip product I was using as the dryness of my lips definitely disappeared in just a couple of swipes!  

Since I got myself a 3rd tube, this time with their newest shade 02 Pink, I've decided to post about it because you can finally see a hint of color making this my ultimate fave especially for girls who have the same lip condition as I do --- dry, parched, super helpless lips!

 A pro secret used to boost and prepare tired lips on sets : this hydra-plumping serum hydrates and smoothes, adding fullness and comfort to lips. Wear alone for naturally healthy-looking lips, or use as hydra-plumping mask before lipstick application, wiping off any excess before applying color.

Healthy Snacks for Kids and Adults

I give myself a pat on the back for training Kyle to eat healthy.  He eats his vegetables, his share of fruits, meat and a whole lot more!

But when he started school and learned to eat sweets like his classmates, from gummies to lollipops, cakes and chocolates, I knew I had to up my "snacking game"!  How can I make him snack healthily while feeling fulfilled and happy at the same time?

This summer, my son loves Ice Cream!  We actually have tubs of ice cream as a reward system for being a good boy!  But as you all know, the health-mom in me wanted him to snack healthily all throughout the day!  I want to reward him something that is delicious yet healthy!

So I leaned on to yogurt as an option!

Yogurt, that wonder-cousin to ice cream and cheese.  Yogurt is a mixture of milk fermented by bacterial cultures that produce lactic acid. It comes in varieties like low-fat, fat-free, Greek, or Icelandic style and more. It contains many of the same nutrients as milk, only in different amounts depending on the type and sometimes, the brand of yogurt. One serving contains many essential nutrients like protein, calcium and phosphorus to help build and maintain strong bones and teeth. Zinc boosts the immune system, making you less susceptible to colds. Riboflavin and panthothenic acid also help the body with metabolism. Yogurt also has vitamin B12 to keep the nervous system healthy and blood functions normal.

6 Summers with SampleRoom Family

When my good Blogger Friend Sophie told me about how she and her group of friends thought about bringing in a "sampling site" in the Philippines, I knew it's going to be big!  Because I, for one, has always been a fan of "Hey guys, try testers on counters first before you purchase!" , or "Hey, ask for samples if they have any before you commit in purchasing full size!"

That's how AMW started, I started a journey of investing good quality skincare, makeup and hair care products and I want to share my experiences online so YOU know what to expect before you spend your hard-earned money.  

So when Sampleroom asked me to be a Partner Blogger, I said YES right away and it was the best yes after Keith --- LOL!

But seriously, who would've thought 6 summers has passed and I'm still here, happy and taking about my love for Sampleroom as often as I can?
