How to Contour and Highlight Using Contour and Highlight Stick from IMAGIC




Such a long title! 
But seriously, to those who tell me they can't contour and highlight for the love of beauty... come on, YOU CAN!  You only need a lot of practice and maybe.... (shameless plug coming up) you can backread my past post...

How to Contour for Photography (I'm so proud of this post because my face looked so chiseled here!)

And of course, I also reviewed a similar contour and highlight product from the same brand...


But before you get distracted with anything else, let's talk about the new IMAGIC PROfessional Highlight and Contour Stick.  This product packaging isn't new in the market, Etude House has one, also NYX (in a slimmer pencil packaging)

Nail Art Tutorial: Medal Nails



I wasn't really aiming to create "Medal-Like" nails.  But it was late at night before my big day of Hosting Duty.  I looked at my nails at exactly 12mn and my eyes grew wide --- I had to do something about my nails!  

Pulling myself apart from my son's comforting hug (Most difficult thing to do!), I motioned Mr. AMW to follow me (because he is supportive like that!) hahahah 

I promised myself I won't go overboard with my nail art, I just needed a couple of minutes to make my nails look decent for the next day's shoot and I understood very well I had to wake up early!

TADA!

Palladio Waterproof Eye Liner Review



I have been on a lookout for waterproof pencil liners for as long as I remember.
At the back of my head, there are a few that passed my standard when it comes to "TRUE WATERPROOF QUALITY"

1. Make Up For Ever Aqua Liners
2. L'Oreal Superliner (which is phased out by the way!)

Will Palladio get into my top 3 list?  Scroll further down for my in-depth review!

BLK Velvet Lip Cream Review



Am I too late with this review?
I hope not!  I finally get to try and talk about the BLK Velvet Lip Creams which I think works really well for users with extremely dry lips condition!  The matte ones I recently reviewed (BLK All-Day Intense Matte Lipsticks) are great but on some days that my lips have a mind of their own, application tends to be a bit harder than usual, there's a bit of tugging and worst, dry patches could appear (which happens to me on all matte lipsticks by the way!)


So thankfully, the brand created another version of their lipstick line meant for those who wants intense moisture in their lipsticks, I don't know about you but I NEED moisture in my life!

Kyle Learns How To Say THANK YOU At Pound by Todd English



Kyle knows the idea of saying Thank You as early as 2 years old, but the thing is that, "Thank You" seems just like any other sentence he can just blurt out on a daily basis without understanding the full meaning to it and how it can make the other person happy upon hearing it.  



Since Kyle is into books, I really like the book I recently got, a Story About Gratitude with the help of cute Twiga.  


Twiga Learns How To Say Thank You 

Is a simple book with illustrations on how being grateful and appreciative can make everyone happy, in return, you also see the magic of the world!

The Storybook by the way is FREE with the limited edition Bottle Wash (600ml) available in Baby Company and on www.tinybudsbaby.com


And after reading, it was perfect timing that the food arrived...thankfully, Kyle said "Thank You" after I fed him fries!

NOTE: Watch out for POUND by Todd English $1 Dollar Deals!  These are Php50.00 meals that is worth every single centavo!
