How to: Catwalk to Sidewalk Makeup

Tuesday Choose Day!
I choose to look a bit pretty today with the help of make up!  You know what?  I saw a couple of posts on my Facebook wall on how men dislike women who wear make up!  Well, I'm sorry guys!  We "confident" women wear make up not for YOU but for ourselves!  We want to look and feel good because that's how we are!  Well, to some who wants to look good for the opposite sex using make up...well, that's their thing!  So kebs kebs lang! :D

In short, I just typed in a whole useless paragrah!  Hahahah

Seriously, after creating a "brow tutorial using brow pencil", I got inspired to create a makeup look that I can't seem to create a name for it!  So, my usual crazy self would echo: "Catwalk to Sidewalk Look". 

In short: From Glam makeup to everyday "wearable" makeup look!  You guys know me pretty well, I am all for creating simple makeup looks that would enhance your beauty --- not by covering it with make up!

I will skip brow tutorial as I just recently posted one!  Feel free to create any brow look that you feel would match your face shape!

AMW Reviews: L'Oreal Revitalift Magic Blur Instant Smoother Anti-Aging Moisturizer

The first L'Oreal base primer that I tried was called L'Oreal Base Magique (click link for past review).  To be honest, the Base Magique is quite nice it actually went into my makeup kit for clients who aren't allergic to silicone based primer!  

Whenever I pass by L'Oreal counters and ask for Base Magique and the SA would have a blank look, I knew it won't be available ever again in the local scene!  So when I was invited to attend to the Magic Blur launch (which I wasn't able to go by the way), I knew the product must be promising or at least, it could be the better version of my favorite Base Magique!  Or was it?

When you just read the product description, you'll know this is not just a primer, the Revitalift Magic Blur is a Primer and Moisturizer in one!  Why do I say so?  Well it has Opti-Blur technology and Pro-Retinol A --- Retinol is a major ingredient used for its' anti-ageing properties.

That obviously excites me!  A primer and a moisturizer in one!  That would be perfect!  

Weekend Food Trip at: Kettle

Hi AMW Friends!
I had so much fun yesterday at the Philosophy SM Mega Fashion Hall branch!  And because I like to keep souvenir on each of my workshop (a.k.a. Photo-op with the store's most distinct area), I chose, again and again, the famous Tub!  And I'm so happy how they were decorated not only with Philosophy's bestselling bath products, they also include 10 lootbags for attendees and ONE huge bag for the major prize!  Amazing right?  THANK YOU SO MUCH Philosophy Philippines for inviting me and my readers to grace your lovely "abode".

And here are the gorgeous attendees who went all the way to SM Megamall!  Thank you for spending time with me and for being such a sport to take photos immediately after facial!  See how gorgeous they all look without make-up?

Benefit They're Real, Honest Mascaras and Liners Launch

So a couple of days ago, I went to a "mysterious" event for Benefit Philippines.  As we all know, Benefit events are always exciting!  So off I went to Black Sheep with no expectation, well, I did expect some hunks though!  hahaha and they never fail!

As seen as I got in, I get to see profile of the gorgeous Benefit Glambassadors!  These portraits were taken by talented Sam Valenciano and all the ladies wore Air Optix Contact lens.

AMW Wears: NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dragon Girl

Just when can a girl get tired of RED?  I say, never! 
When I want that instant "made up look", I rely heavily on perfecting my red lips!  And I am very particular in choosing the right color and texture of a red lipstick because I have not only extremely dry but highly pigmented and full lips!  So ONE wrong mistake could make me look like a BIG HUGE LIPS walking around the Metro. 

And obviously, we don't want that because I want to look like a girl with Huge Lips whom you want to kiss!  MWA MWA MWA >--- please don't take me seriously and please don't randomly kiss me in public! :P

My first ever, favorite RED Lip Pencil is from MAC and it is in shade Cherry.  (Post HERE)  Since I'm always on a rush and I want to always cut my "prettifying" time in half, I finally found a lip pencil that is thicker (so easier to apply) and has the same consistency and gorgeous shade that I want!
