Full Lashes + True Red Lipstick for Hump Day!

 


A good red lipstick can cure any tired look!  

The busieset days for me - Tuesdays and Wednesdays!  Those are the 2 days I felt the most lifeless!  I usually ended up taking a nap because I would feel super drowsy and sleepy by 9pm #trueAuntie 

When I received a welcome 2021 package from Avon Philippines, it was a very nice gesture because they added chocolates from local Chocolate brand Theo & Philo.  It was an instant booster for me.


I immediately tried the Avon Red Supreme Collection lipstick in True Red and their Power Stay Mascara and I was impressed!

Check this out!


With just a few strokes of blush and liner, I look fully made up!

What’s your secret to survive Hump Day?

Graffiti Nail Art with Orly Dreamscape Collection

 

Happy February Nails!

Looking back, I used to do nail art on a weekly basis - both finger and toe nails!  Gosh, how busy can motherhood be!!!  VERY!

Fellow moms would understand. 

Now, I have grown, I have matured, my nail art designs are more laidback, casual and not as wild as those that I’ve done in the past but I am not closing my doors.

I hope you like this simple art.  I like using “Collection” in terms of choosing the right colors because 99.9% of the time, they work!

Video here!  Hope you like and subscribe my simple channel which I dump all my videos there so it isn’t professional looking but I’ve done everything with my heart and soul!


Have a great Tuesday!

Hairstyle Tutorial: Scarf Bun

 

Hi Hair lovers!

I have mentioned this so many times, I enjoy styling my hair even at this day and age.  I mean how does a 40 plus years old women hair look like in the past? 

Thinking about my mom, it has always been short, or in ponytail?  Or just plain straight with a bit of resistance (from hairspray! Hahaha)

Times have changed.  Things are different.  Women in the 30s, 40s and 50s can look like a teenager!  All thanks to Social Media because we are more aware of trends no matter how busy we are.

I, on the other hand, has been living in ponytail and bun!  I have been busy the whole day doing houehold chores and mom and wife tasks I don’t have time to look good or appear human in most days!  

Since I have a couple of Zoom meetings in between looking like a slob, I am finding easy ways to “up” my hairstyling game without a lot of effort.

Do you like this?



A very simple bun without using hairpins but just a single non-slip rubber band!  Keyword: A non-slip rubber band is a must to keep the bun and scarf in place!


Pick a medium to large sized scarf like the one I used from Mango.  Bit scarves have more weight and control so it’ll fall off nicely.

Love Month Look

 


Hi AMW Friends!

I’ve said it so many times, February is my favorite month for so many reason!  

There’s Valentine’s Day, Lunar New Year (mostly celebrated in this month), My Birth Month, Ash Wednesday usually falls on this month and cooler weather of course.  If not because of COVID-19, we are probably going to Tagaytay every weekend for that blast of cool and fresh air!  How I wish the pandemic will be all behind us soon!

So back to my small world here at home, I have been staying in my office / “Beauty Room” more often.  Playing with new and old makeup can lighten up my mood anytime of the day.

I recently got all these goodies from Sephora , I got super excited and tried the Huda Beauty Naughty Nude Palette immediately together with the Nudestix x Pony collection.


Here’s the final look!  Very pink right?
