Looking for an Eye Brightener Pencil?



Like other Beauty Bloggers, I'm sure at one time in your "Beauty Blogging Life", you've used a white eyeliner pencil to "brighten up" your eyes!  Admit it girlfriends, because I'm raising both of my hands up high because I'm super guilty for that!

As much as White eyeliner pencil is indeed effective for that "Ullzang Makeup look", I'm sure there's a more subtle version for daily use...and I've found it through Cargo Swimmables Eye Pencil in Secret Beach.

Cargo Swimmables Eye Pencil (Php850.00)
"Three shades added to the iconic long-wearing, waterproof eyeliner collection. The Swimmables Eye Pencils feature a rich, creamy formula with the feel of a liquid and the versatility of a pencil. These transfer-resistant, extreme wear pencils glide on smoothly and effortlessly locking comfortably in place for up to 14 hours.Now available in three highly-pigmented shades, including the Black Sea (Black), Pebble Beach (Brown), Secret Beach (Nude)."

Out of the 3 shades available, I found this particular shade to be the most unique and can work as a best-kept secret for Pro Makeup Artists like myself.

Benefit HOOLA Lite Review



Hi AMW Friends!  Summer season is "almost" over!  But who said we can't keep the "warmth" on our faces?

When it comes to Benefit's Box O' Powders, HOOLA has always been that name that pops when it comes to "bronzer" or "instant face warmer".  But let's be serious, as much as I love that product, I wish they have something lighter that would be apt for fairer skin.

After years of waiting, I would say, this is worth the wait!  HOOLA LITE is here for girls like ME!

Housed in the well-known "box-type" packaging, I used to dislike how bulky it is making it difficult for me to bring this along for makeup gigs!  But....after piling them up together with other shades, I do like them better and I like how gorgeous they look inside my dresser drawer.

P.S. I really like the brush that comes with this!  So I can forgive the "bulkiness" anytime of the day!

AMW Wears: Hush Puppies The Body Shoe in Reo Aida



What's my secret to be a "super mom on-the-go"?  
A NICE PAIR OF FOOTWEAR --- and that's just ONE of my many super powers!

I have featured so many comfortable footwear finds because like I said in the past --- my legs, ankles and heels are extremely sensitive and when I tell my friends I've found a footwear that works for me...they know it is extremely comfortable because I have "high standards" for that!  

I recently tried a pair of shoe from The Body Shoe Collection by Hush Puppies.  

Yes, Hush Puppies!  Who would've thought Hush Puppies would come up with something more fit for my busy lifestyle --- mommy-on-the-go?  

Of course, this collection is not only for moms!  It is also sporty-inspired, fashionable and functional at the same time perfect for women with active lifestyle!

Cathy Doll Nude Me Liquid Lip Matte Review (ALL 9 Shades)



Hi AMW Friends!  How are you?
If you follow me on social media, you've probably seen that I was recently a host for Cathy Doll's All Dolled Up With Cathy Doll event which happened last May 25 at Spatzle, Shangrila Mall.

So many items were launched during that day, from Sculpting Highlight and Shading Cushion down to 3 new Nude Me Eyeshadow Palettes and Eyebrow Cara, the particular line that caught everyone's excitement and attention the most are the Nude Me Liquid Lip Mattes.

Soi Restaurant Review



I've dined at Soi Restaurant the first time for an event.  The experience was great so when I finally spent family time at the mall with the family, I've decided to give this restaurant another try since I was craving for some Thai food.

As much as I always crave for Korean, Japanese and Chinese food, I am glad there's always a Thai restaurant available once a "craving" calls for it.  I was craving for good Pad Thai and went ahead and tried other dishes.

Fresh Spring Roll
Php168.00
A refreshing appetizer.  
It won the heart of my dad-in-law and considering he is very picky with the food he eats!  This is definitely a must-order dish.


Chicken Satay
Php238.99
I have tried several "satay" in other Thai restaurants and this isn't my favorite because of the strong spice.  Others may like it but definitely not our family!
