Pink Sugar Our Lil' Secret All Day Matte Powder Review

As a Beauty Blogger and Professional Make Up Artist, I always advice my students, trainees and beauty-loving friends to always use Powder Foundation to set their makeup for full coverage and use powder to retouch for the whole day!  

What's the difference between a Powder Foundation and a Powder?

Powder foundation has more coverage while powder is there just to set everything, lessen shine and keep everything in place minus the added coverage.  So no need to belt out those Chinese Opera whenever you pile on face powders because they are as natural as you first applied your makeup in the morning!

No matter what they say about Korean glow-y skin, every Filipinas I talk to wanted their skin to be matte especially in our weather!  So I am not surprised Pink Sugar came up with several shades of their Our Lil' Secret All Day Matte Powder and I tested this product and here's what I have to say.

Pink Sugar Our Lil' Secret All Day Matte Powder

shades: Light Warm, Beige and Medium Beige

Pink Sugar Our Lil' Secret All Day Matte Powder Says ---

Merry Christmas from AMW Family!

When Kyle was born, my wish came true and I couldn't ask for anything more but for him to be in great health and be a good person.

Of course, if God gives me more wishes to be granted, I wish for great health and safety for my whole family and of course, sharing some good vibes and blessings to YOU my dear AMW friends who have been with me for more than a decade.  Thank you, from the bottom of my heart because I still have the chance to type my well wishes here every single year!  Thank you for checking my site, for reading my thoughts and trusting my reviews.  I will keep on doing this as long as I have the passion to help and share my knowledge (and that would be a long long time pa I can tell!)  I just hope you still want to read something from a Senior Citizen in the future!  #lol

Merry Christmas to you my friend, from the time I was still single to being a Mrs. down to being a mom, thanks for being part of my journey and I can't wait to share more with you!

Please let me know you're still here by commenting below!  I'd love to know that I am not talking to just anybody on cyberspace but someone with a name!  Someone I can really say THANK YOU to!

Merry Christmas!  

Stay Happy, Healthy and Loved!

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

Magnolia Ice Cream Best of the Philippines' Collection

With the recent winning of Catriona Gray as Ms. Universe 2018, I can't help but look up to her for always putting up the Philippine Flag wherever she goes!  From her dress to her earrings down to all her answers during the competition, she raised our flag with Pride and I can't help but do the same in my own little way.

Get the Best of the Philippines Ice Cream Collection for Christmas season!

I have my favorites - Macapuno, Ube, Cheese, Mango, they are all part of my childhood, but what excites me with this collection is how Magnolia mixes things up with a special ingredient for that special twist.  

Let's talk about my favorite of them all --- Mango Dark Chocolate.  I love the "bringing back to memory lane mango flavor" with an added bitter sweet taste of dark chocolate.  Who would've thought chocolates and mangoes would go well together?

Then there's UBE Keso, I always pick Ube and Keso whenever I see Mamang Sorbetero right outside Kyle's school.  

Merry Christmas BLK-way!

So, where do I start?

When I unboxed these on #AMWIGstories a few weeks ago, I was amazed on how lovely the packaging of the Holiday BLK Cosmetics are and I love how these are definitely worth looking into as a Christmas gift Ideas!  Everyone loves to own at least one BLK Cosmetics, I can vouch on that as I just had dinner with friends and they asked me about it!

When you shop for BLK Cosmetics, you also get their Holiday Tin Cans which can house your favorite lipsticks during travel.   Of course, you can put other items like keys, candies, gums and other stuff.

Aside from that, they also have a cute Holiday Pouch to house your makeup essentials, I love the print and I love how festive it looks!  RED is really my favorite color when it comes to pouches, wallets, even powerbanks!

And BLK Cosmetics didn't end the excitement there.  This holiday, they launched their BLK Travels Collector's Edition Php1,499.00.  Included are the travel-sized tubes of their matte lipsticks! 

New York and London Kit
Dubai and Hong Kong Kit
South Africa and New Zealand Kit
Paris and Los Angeles Kit



 I think these are perfect travel companions because I find myself picking on travel-sized lipsticks whenever I travel!
