Style Series: Fashionable Mom

 

Hi AMW Friends!

It is yet another fashion post once again!  And aside from that, I want to update you guys that I colored my hair.  Well, not me, my husband colored my hair using L'Oreal Paris Excellence Cream Triple Care hair Color in 5.15 Frosted Light.

I don't know why this is even called Frosted Light as it came out dark on me but I guess my previous hair color was a bit too light that's why this turned out differently.  But I am not complaining, this product DOES cover gray hair!

Now back to my Style Photo.  This was my outfit during my son's Trick or Treat activity.  The top is my favorite because I can bend and run and walk around without having to worry about anything yet the texture of the clothing is comfortable enough for me to move.

As for my pants, well, I live in a tropical country, this peek-a-boo pants was supposed to be worn on a pool or beach trip but since we are staying in most days, I may as well wear it as much as I can!

How do you like this look?

What's your favorite loungewear?

Your Thoughts on Marvel x Maybelline?

 

I don't know about you but Maybelline, particularly the SuperStay Matte Ink does not need to do anything for marketing because the products speak for themselves.  

They aren't the best for people with dry lips like I do but they are the best for these times (mask-wearing season) because these are long-wearing, long lasting lipsticks that I haven't even found a competitor close to these!  (Let me know if you've found one!)

But low and behold, just in time to uplift our mood, Marvel x Maybelline wanted to send a message about US being a Superhero in all of us!  Armed with lip confidence (even while wearing mask) and the power to cover --- Instant Age Rewind Eraser.  We can look good even underneath the masks and face shield.

This limited edition collection assembles some of the Marvel Franchise's most iconic characters with some of Maybelline's bestselling products!

Choose between Spider Man, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther and Black Widow. I say you get them all if you are a Marvel Fan!

The Marvel x Maybelline collection retails for Php299.00 for the Superstay Matte Ink and Php399.00 for the Instant Age Rewind Eraser and are available online at Shopee PH.

Visit Maybelline’s official store on Shopee and don’t forget to “Add to Cart” and check out through this link: http://bit.ly/MarvelxMaybellinePH. With both brands coming from the battleground that is New York City, you better believe these products are super-charged indeed! 

Will you purchase anything from this collection?
Who is  your favorite Marvel Superhero?

Stay happy!

East vs. West Makeup Looks

 

Hi AMW Friends!
I have been meaning to do this video ever since I started doing short IG TVs.  The laziness to edit and busy schedule got me so I only had a couple of months after to finally made this half face versus look into reality and I am so happy I did it because I've always wanted to know which particular look would suit best my face shape and features.

What do you think?  Can you spot which side is the Eastern side and which side is West?

As written on my IG post, I am not discriminating a particular look, I just based my makeup styles from books I read, videos I've watched and several photos I have seen online.  The western look has always been my style even when I was doing makeup professionally.  This is the type of makeup that would look great on photos, videos and a bit darker in person but with the right technique, you would still look like yourself in a more polished way.

Eastern side, I am basing on our Korean, Japanese and Thai counterparts.  I've followed a couple of makeup artists from those countries and noticed a common denominator and put it on my other face!  The effect?  Very natural, glowing and dewy skin!

A closer look on Western side.
Defined and arch brows.  Creating bigger eyes with cut-crease method, winged liner, bronzer, contouring and highlighting and defined lips!  

L'Oreal Color Riche Mattes in #BloomingKiss Review

 

Ever since the rebirth of matte lipsticks, we "almost" never looked book.

How did I even dare say that?  Well, how many years have I been swatching and trying out on various matte lipsticks?  SO MANY TIMES!  If you don't believe me, click HERE.

I thought the fad would die down, I guess I was super wrong.  I guess I am the only one who suffers from extreme dry lip textures that I always lean to semi-matte lipsticks or glossy types!  

But thankfully, the lipstick goddesses are nice to me, brands are starting to care for users with extreme dry lip condition so they are creating matte lipsticks that can be applied smoothly on dry, dehydrated lips and the best part?  They got all the benefits of what matte lipsticks can offer - pigmentation, long-wearability and a whole gorgeous shades for me to play around!

L'Oreal Color Riche Mattes are no exception.  This brand, together with sister brand Maybelline has always been creating inexpensive matte lipsticks that can be worn without lip discrimination!  

They revamped and repackaged their line and created the Blooming Kiss collection.  I am unsure if they added new, unique shades for this particular line but most shades I've seen in the past.

And here are the photos of me wearing all 6 shades without lip balm or lip conditioner underneath.  Best of all, I can wear them day in and out without feathering or bleeding.  I am impressed!
