Radiance in a Tube?



Don't you wish you can fake good skin?

With the right makeup, you probably can!


I have always been into primers that add radiance to my dull skin.  I am NOT joking when I say I have dull skin, I do have clear skin at times (not now as I am majorly breaking out!)  but since I don't have sufficient intake of water (yes, inaaamin ko!)  plus, I tend to sleep very late at night (not good!), my skin is dull and blah....

But when I go to my "ego-boosting" social media page a.k.a. Instagram, I always get the compliment of "Ang fresh mo!" "You have good skin!"  "Your skin is glowing!"

I am not complaining, but I will be honest with you, most of the time, it is MAKEUP!

I loved a couple of radiance primers int he past, the most used and loved is the Benefit THAT GAL Brightening Primer which I used for more than 5 years now.  I finished up a total of 4 tubes and still highly recommend this to my friends!  

But because I am Ms. AMW and I do a lot of product trials, I recently tested Bobbi Brown's newest primer called Primer Plus Radiance with SPF35 PA+++.

BLK UNIVERSAL Multi-Use Tint Duo in Nutmeg Review


Easy-peasy makeup you say?

I've found myself a favorite in the BLK Cosmetics UNIVERSAL Collection.  I've done a full IG TV on that for my initial thoughts and unboxing but this one I am really enjoying this a lot and I've been reaching for this more often!

Please spare the half face effect as I use the product only on 1 side of my face.  Can you tell which side?

Kyle's Pambaon


I plan Kyle's snacks and lunch every weekend.  I have a full sheet to cover Mondays to Fridays and I can't believe I have a grade schooler!  

I know, I'm still on lala-land thinking I still have a baby but I seriously have a 6-year old Grade 1 student who goes to school at 7:20am and leaves the class at 3:00pm.  The first few weeks was the hardest #SepanxHits but as days and weeks go by, I find myself coming into terms.  I just have to make it visible for Kyle that I still think about him through the "baon" I prepare for him!

Thankful with the new O-Gurt from Oishi!  Kyle comes home telling me how much he enjoys his morning snack time with his favorite Bread Pan cookies!


I tasted them all, it has to pass my taste before I pass it down to my son!  Thankful that all of these 4 variants tastes great!  Kyle's favorite is Strawberry while I always reach out for Original Flavor!



Yes, school is difficult as it is, let's make the rest of his day fun and exciting!
This is definitely part of the "rotation-baon" planned out for Kyle.

What's yours?

 Oishi O-Gurt Yoghurt drinks are available in leading supermarket nationwide.

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

AMW Family experienced Lily's Wonderland





Almost everybody I knew grew up with Lily's Peanut Butter.
In my case, I grew up with Lily's and I still have Lily's with me until my adult years!

I love our neighborhood fresh pandesal and I love it with a good 2-3 layers of Lily's Peanut Butter.

So when me and my family were invited to be part of the Lily's Wonderland, I had to clear up my schedule and be there!

What is Lily's Wonderland?



The company Newborn Food Products Inc. conducted a "Mom and Kids Health Ambassador" contest late 2018 and early 2019.  The kids who came were among the winners per school and won cash, products and a chance to visit the Production Plant of Lily's Peanut Butter.

BLK Universal Brow Stick Review



When I unboxed some of the BLK Cosmetics UNIVERSAL Collection on AMW IG TV, a lot of you requested for in-depth review on this Brow product.  

I don't blame you, it is unique in some sorts of way!  The uniqueness starts with the packaging.

Packaging?  YES!  It is a pencil, I know, pencil type packaging that you can see in most makeup brands!  But guys, this is not a liner/powder combo, this is a liner/mascara combo in a slim pencil!  That's what makes this product unique in my humble opinion.


BLK Universal Brow Stick 
Php399.00
Shades: Natural Brown and Taupe
Here's your ultimate brow perfector. Whether you have fine, delicate arches or sport full, bushy brows, this double-ended brow stick has you covered. Super easy to use, this creamy pencil glides on smoothly and blends flawlessly. The angular tip allows for custom brow looks whether its barely there or big and bold. Top it off with our brow mascara top coat formulated to add dimension and sets every strand perfect. -- blk Universal. Universally flattering. multi-use on-the-go essentias designed for everyone.

The product comes with double-ended product.  One side is the eyebrow liner while the other side comes a super slim mascara wand with brow mascara.

Swatch: Natural Brown
I love how BLK Cosmetics focused on Filipinas - most Filipinas use either a Natural Brown liner if they have colored hair (brown) and a Taupe liner (for naturally black or dark brown hair).  They focused on what the majority needs and they nailed it with the Natural brown shade that works so well on me - no red tones, just true-to-life Natural Brown.
