KISSME Heroine Make Prime Liquid Eyeliner Rich Keep Black versus Brown Eyeliner

 

Would you believe my first Kiss Me Heroine Make liquid liner was reviewed year 2015?

Fast forward to almost a decade later.  Beautybox Corp.  - the distributor of our favorite K-Palette liners also distributes Kiss Me Heroine Make liners locally —- yay!  No need to hoard these abroad as the local price is quite competitive.

KISSME Heroine Make Prime Liquid Eyeliner Rich Keep (Php795.00).  

Available online via LAZADA

01 Jet Black vs. 02 Brown Black

AMW says—-

I seriously love both shades but for daily, I have always been a fan of Black Brown liners but in the past, Black Browns aren’t as nice as recent ones!  Brown seems to look washed out or too light especially for someone who really enjoy dark liners!  

Thankfully, the recent years shows better shade choices especially from Japanese Make Up Brands.  I lvoe how Black Brown liners look like black but in a more natural manner.  I can et away using just plain liquid liner witout much make up on without looking like I have very strong eye feature!

If you can’t imagine how both shades look like when applied, I will definitely give you a visual comparison and you can easily see why I am in love with both shades.

Left facing you 02 Brown Black and Right facing you is 01 Black Brown

After looking at the comparison photo above, which shade do you prefer?

I still pick on my black liner for straonger makeup looks or when I have full face makeup on with lashes for special occasions!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

Hong Kong Relaxing Trip for a Family with Kid

 

Hi AMW Friends!

As promised, I am sharing my quick itinerary (or non-itinerary version) of our quick Hong Kong trip for a family of 3 with a 10-year old boy who already visited Hong Kong Disneyland few years back.  So this is a quick spoiler for you that we did not include Disneyland HK!

Day ONE:

Important note to book your WIFI gadget in advance especially if you have an airport transfer booked!  It is best and easiest way to communicate with your driver upon arrival without the need to pick up WIFI or Simcard (Which will take additional time!)

Time is GOLD so I booked our WIFI via Big Sky Nation.  Use NIKKITRAVELS to get 20% off your booking when you book https://bigskynation.com/. 

Also, since we are a family of 3 with heavy luggages (hello winter clothes!)  We have decided to book private airport transfers straight to the hotel via KLOOK.  Feel free to use AMWTRAVELS for extra discounts because these 2 travel services ROCK!  I am hooked with these 2.

So during our arrival after relaxing for a few minutes in the hotel, we explored Causeway Bay and dined at our favorite Cafe De Coral!  

Watch this Day one video!

Day TWO:

We planned HK for the fact that HK has Legoland Disocvery Center!  We flew before weekend to make sure we don’t go with the crowd!  Imagine weekend right?  So we booked our tickets on Legoland Discovery HK Website 

Before day 2, I did some reserach on how to reach K11 Musea (where Legoland Center is located) and decided go look for Restaurants we can try on the way —- as forcing ourselves to look for Michelin starred restaurants would take time.

Since K11 Musea itself is a place to visit, we were able to try the famous Mak’s Noodles right at K11 Musea foodcourt!

We had the whole night free so we visited Victoria Harbour for the Light Show.

Happy 2024!

 

Hello AMW FRIENDS!

Oh My Goodness!  How long has it been since my last post? *Checked*

Okay, last post November 2023.  Not that bad but considering it is ME, who loves to talk and ramble about random things here on my blog, it seems FOREVER!

Life happens!  Not the bad one thank God but I was busy with work, you all know about yearend panic for my clients.  Also, my son’s Final Exams (ooohhh Grade 5!) and….

After COVID-19 scare, we finally booked a short trip (in a whim!) to Hong Kong!  

We originally wated to go to Japan but it was a last minute decision we don’t have time to fix our Visas.  We traveled the day after my son’s FINAL EXAM DAY and he needed to go back to school 5 days after for Christmas Party and Program so I took advantage of this 5 days to visit one of my favorite place —- Hong Kong!

We as FROZEN family just wanted to be immersed in Winter season :D

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Oil-Free Review

 

I have written a post on how to choose the right shade foundation, or tinted moisturizer, using 2 Laura Mercier shades as an example in this previous post.

That was a year ago and I got the chance to really use this Tinted Moisturizer from the brand for so many times and I am ready to share my thoughts about it as I am almost done with this tube.

Hailed as a light finish matte moisturizer foundation, this gives a sheer coverage formula with blurred matte finish.

As someone who has normal/dry skin, tinted moisturizer foundations are my thing but living in a tropical country doesn't mean I'll pile this product all over and leave as is.  That is what I feel ON EVERY SINGLE tinted moisturizers in this entire planet but not with Laura Mercier.

Let's talk about the effect, I don't call it Matte finish but it leans towards Demi-matte finish.  I love how it gives my skin an instant healthy glow probably coming from the "moisture" that comes with the product.  Checking out the product ingredients, it comes with Licorice Root Extract, Vitamin E, Jojoba Esters, Squalene and Glycerin --- all skin loving, moisture-packing ingredients.  If you are on the oily skin department, fret not, they also have some oil-absorbing ingredient included as I NEVER felt greasy even if I am under the humid weather.

The product boasts to have SPF20 included aside from Foundation and Moisturizer.  Though SPF20 may be good, do not skip your sunscreen because that would never be enough to protect yourself from the harmful rays of the sun!

On to the coverage, I am LOVING this as it gives light yet buildable coverage.  I mean look at that photo below!  I can get away not using any concealer (but don't skip it if you need heavy coverage!).  The effect is super natural - a PURE definition of NO MAKEUP LOOK!

I like to apply this using my OVAL brush as I can apply more in small areas at a time.  I also like to set with powder still as I NEVER EVER leave home without setting my face with powder.  

How do I feel about it?
I love it! The texture is so smooth and it blends onto my skin like butter!  I also like the fact that demarcation marks are not a thing with this Tinted Moisturizer.  Since it is oil-free, I love how it felt like I am wearing NOTHING.  SERIOUSLY NOTHING!

Will I repurchase?
YES!  And I highly recommend everyone who dislikes using foundation on a daily basis to try this instead.

And can I just say?   I love you guys!  I have been blogging for MORE than a decade now, 15 years to be exact and if you are still reading this after all these years, CYBER HUGS guys!!!

Keep smilin'

Stay happy!

Love, Bonito 11.11 Picks

 

I love dressing up and I love shopping for clothes.  The sheer amount of clothes you can see in my closet will give you an impression of a shopaholic.  But I am not! :P  (That's what I say!) 

I recently just did a spring cleaning and gave away 3 garbage-bag full of clothes for donation and keeping key pieces that I can wear again and again.  I used to purchase by the "fashion" and buy pieces I cannot wear after 10 years!  

So if you are also like that, I am NOT judging you.

One brand I recently get to love is Love, Bonito.  Their pieces are made meticulously, their designs work through the years and the styles are just .. well...my style - meaning, every single person get to find their style in a Love, Bonito store (in my case, Online store)

For Love, Bonito's 11.11 Singles Day Sale, I've picked another round of my favorite pieces that I can mix and match, wear and re-wear multiple times!  

Are you ready?

Outfit 1 

1. Teyla Elastic Paperbag Jeans in Light Denim Wash - size runs big so please downsize!  Size 27 is still big on me considering I am really a size 28
2. Jaelia Crop Camisole Top in Sunflower - go for Large if you want the crop to be not to high, this is not zipped so the bigger the better, I do not have to have a hard time wearing! 
3. Goldie Textured Collared Shirt in Lotus Green - because this design is loose, I got size Small and it was perfect.
