Hello Caramel Brown!

 


Since the break of COVID-19, you've probably noticed how I have been doing "professional' thing at home.  Such as haircut, hair color and even nail care!  

I used to regularly go to my favorite salon Hairshaft Salon for my hair color, but not going to salon doesn't mean I will just leave my white hair peeking out!  Thankful I have a Mister who is used to coloring my hair even before I started blogging!


Revlon Colorsilk Luminista in Caramel Brown

I bought Revlon Colorsilk Luminista online at Shopee under Revlon Mall. It costs Php425.00 and I am very happy with this product line.  The old Revlon Hair Color I've tried have a strong chemical smell and dried my hair.  The Colorsilk Luminista smells better, my husband did not complain about the scent and I love how even the color was!

Best of all, with proper conditioning and care, my hair was back to its' healthy state unlike other hair coloring treatment which ended up drying my hair!

I will definitely repurchase the Colorsilk Luminista, something probably lighter but Caramel Brown is really beautiful!  What do you think?

Magnolia Ready-To-Cook Chicken Meals

 

Hi AMW Friends!
Happy Sunday!  My brother had his emergency appendectomy as his appendix burst and it was all crazy!  My brother live with my parents, unmarried and my mom is old to look after him and I can't stay in the hospital overnight as I have my own son to look after for.  

It was CRAZY!  But things were in place for some miraculous reason.  He was able to go through his surgery and was safe (Thank God!).  My dad's Caregiver was the one who stayed in the hospital as the hospital rules changed due to Covid scare.  They do PCR tests and they are not allowed to leave the hospital for the whole duration of stay.  That said, my mom is left to take care of my dad which is IMPOSSIBLE as my dad is bedridden and my mom is around 77 years old!  

My sister and I made a plan to go to my mom's place and scheduled to cook for them and help them feeding my dad and include household chores as well.  

Because I was too hyper cooking various dishes that would last the whole day, I ended up coming back home TIRED and too lazy to cook for my family.  Nakaka-guilty but I am only human!  I can't deal for long hours in the kitchen again after returning home and also ....time constraint! 

Thankfully, there are easy-to-cook dishes available that are really delicious!  I mean I wouldn't feed my own family dishes that tastes like "chemical", if you know what I mean.


I trust Magnolia when I buy chicken so I trust I get fresh, good quality chicken.  Magnolia Chicken Timplados comes in --- Fried Chicken, Oriental Wings, Spicy Wings and Chicken Teriyaki.


So yes, sobrang sarap all the flavors and it doesn't require a lot of prep in the kitchen!  God's answer to a tired and busy mom!

Silkygirl Gen Matte Lip Cream in Red Rebel

 

I have been shying away from Red Lipstick especially since we always wear mask whenever we go out.  Imagine removing the mask with lipstick all over your face?  

*CRINGE*

But nothing can stop me from wearing a red lip color that has the right hue making it a perfect "black dress" for my lips.  My lips are dry and plump, wearing the wrong shade would scream "Big Lips walking down the street."  *laughs*  I know, you are starting to imagine about it right?

Back to this lip color, it was love at first swipe.  Can you just tell how confident I was wearing this color 08 Red Rebel?

Silkygirl Gen Matte Lip Cream in Red Rebel

Silky Girl's Gen Matte Lip Cream are ultra-creamy and highly pigmented with a matte-finish.  I love how it does not dry out my lips and the color lasts long.  It does fade a bit and transfer through mask but I still have a lot of the color left on my lips!

I actually have the complete shades of the SilkyGirl Gen Matte Lip creams but I was reaching out for this more often because of the color!  I can wear light makeup and look made up with only a lipstick!

Driver’s License Renewal tips

 

Hi AMW Friends!
My driver's license expired on my birthday last February 2022.  Because of COVID, I did not renew my license until recently.  

There are a lot of queries from AMW friends on Instagram that is why I've decided to create this content for easier understanding.



First, you can start renewing your license 60 days before expiration date.  

Second, you need to register online at LTO Portal.


After Registering, go back and do the Validation exam as boxed below.


Once you pass the exam, you will be emailed the PASSING Certificate from LTO, print it out and bring it with you at LTO centers.  

Here are the steps needed to be done on my IG reel.  Feel free to click video below or watch HERE.


That's It! Feel free to message me or comment below for any queries.

Stay happy!

BYS Cosmetics Han So Hee Lip Nectar Review

 

We all know Han So Hee as the irritating Mistress from "The World of Married" but in reality, she is a pretty Hallyu star with great acting skills!  She is effortlessly beautiful (no wonder she got the Mistress role).  Even with the negative characters she played, that doesn't stop brands from getting her as a face because of her unique beauty.

Han So Hee recently collaborated with BYS Cosmetics for their Lip Nectar (Php499.00).  Known as the easy-to-apply liquid lipstick with velvety-soft matte finish, I am impressed not only with the quality but also the shade choices!  They were created in mind for all skin tones.

BYS Cosmetics Han So Hee Lip Nectar Review

There are a total of 8 shades in this collection, the shade names are after flowers - Blossom, Cherry, Tulip, Poppy, Rose, Dragonlily, Orchid and Poison Ivy.

After using these randomly on several occasions, here are my thoughts about these Lip Nectars:
  • Very nice packaging and applicator.  Applicator is perfect to define lips or create blurred lips.
  • Cute transparent tube, making it easy for me to know the shade without reading the shade names.
  • No scent or weird taste.
  • Does not dry lips.
  • No flaky lips.
  • Applies smoothly, texture is great!
  • Consistency is thin and non-sticky.
  • Transfers on face mask but a chunk is still left on lips.  Lasts around 4-5 hours with eating and drinking.  The color fades but still 50% stays.
