Have you been Budol'ed by Shopee or Lazada or TIKTOK?
I was!
I don't easily swayed by products that promises instant result but for a long time, I was intrigued by the Beauty Makeup Filling Bald Hair Shading Sponge Pen Concealer which costs less than Php100. Nothing to lose since I am sure a lot of you are intrigued if it works for not.
I am obviously on online shopping sites A LOT!
Can’t blame this girl. I have no time to shop because I am already in a rush! Even my groceries, I still do online shopping 80% of the time. So, let me get to the point.
I like to browse on Tiktok and Instagram Reels because I find it therapeutic to learn and watch new stuff. And yes, to “Budol” myself to shop more! :P Thankfully, as I was able to watch a video on a Korean influencer using these velcro clips for “celebrity clients” and Kpop artists, I went straight to Lazada and found myself a pair!
TBH, there are far cheaper similar pair but I bought from this shop since I purchase other stuff that are not available in other shops. Soooo no more explanations..let’s head straight to my thoughts.
Take a look at this Before and After photo.
What do you think? There is a pouf right? I was LOLing my way in using this pair of velcro clips for the first time but look who’s laughing at the end? NOT ME —- the velcro clips? :P
I have been seeing the Heatless Curling Rod Headband Silk Curling Ribbon Silk for the longest time and since I purchased some rollers from this shop that also sells the Heatless Curler, Although I knew this won't make it for me since my hair is stick straight plus I use a lot of hair treatment (and let's not talk about the heat in the Philippines!) I still gave this a try because it costs only Php94.00 only!
Here is the result of my hair after 5 hours of wearing it, just so you know, I spritzed my hair with water and curling mist, instead of sleeping on this, I just did my normal daily task and left it for 5 hours! I just can't sleep with a whole blob of thing on my head!
The leggings work better for me though and it felt more comfortable! But if you are interested with the product I mentioned above, feel free to watch my IG reel on how I use it!
After trying out FOREO UFO 2, I thought I'd never look into other brands ever again. I mean, how could any brand top that?
I AM WRONG!
Well, I can't say this brand top it but for the price and effect, I think this is worth to take a look at!
The EMAY PLUS All in One Skin Massager is priced more than half lower than FOREO and it also comes with Cold/Warm Function. It acts as Gua Sha and it helps in firming your skin , creates V-line and helps in wrinkle reduction as it lifts your skin.
Best of all, the product is shaped like Gua Sha, big and comfortable enough to be used on face and other parts of body as well! Just by reading my intro, you'll have a sense of raves coming right up!
I review and test skincare and makeup products both for Blogs and social media for quite a while now. A lot of people do not know, I test products professionally too! I've worked with several brands locally who plan to bring in skincare or makeup products to our country. Before doing so, these tester products were sent my way for testing with multiple pages of questions. That said, I do have this really sharp sense of love and dedication in testing products!
When I was given the chance to try on a new Korean Skincare brand that I haven't tried in the past. I jumped to the chance immediately and tested it for almost a month! And this particular brand isn't hard to review because I ended up liking it so much I am still using it even after review.
On the spotlight for today is SKIN1004.
As always, I always do research before I accepting products to review. The brand is known in Korea as an award-winning hypoallergenic & natural skincare brand. They use main ingredient like CENTELLA ASIATICA which I have tried in the past and it worked so well for me so I immediately jumped to testing the whole Madagascar Centella range which is known to be the perfect line for sensitive skin.
Not everyone, of course, can pick up a whole line immediately like I did so I will share my top Skin1004 favorites! I want to say ALL but I have to pick my top 3!
MUST TRY SKIN1004 Product #1
MADAGASCAR CENTELLA AMPOULE
I mostly use serums instead of ampoule because for the obvious fact that most ampoules I have tried have "thicker" consistency as compared to serum. This type of texture won't go well with our hot and humid climate. As soon as I tried Madagascar Centella Ampoule, I was a convert! because it has the lightest texture I have tried in an ampoule.
It is light, watery, non-sticky and works so well on all skin types!
How to use?
I like to use this after cleansing and toning. I squirt once or twice for the whole face and gently tap on my face and neck. The product can immediately calm skin redness from my usual double/triple cleansing (My skin is very sensitive so it usually turns red after cleansing.). After applying this ampoule, I can immediately see how my skin is calmer and has lesser red spots. I also noticed how noticeably brighter and more hydrated my skin gets! Best of all, there's none of the greasy, sticky-feel!

With my work as an online makeup trainer/skin care trainer and sudden requiements for unboxing or on a more serious side - client meetings. I felt a bit shy at times to show my chipped- very busy cooking in the kitchen nails!
I've done UV Gel a couple of times but since I have eczema, I find this process a bit too drying for my fingers if I do it regularly!
So I head on to Shopee and found some "short fake nails" and gave it a try and loved them so much I repurchased a couple of boxes more!
Some short nails design I picked
Price range: Php29.00-Php55.00 (for 3D ones)
Available: SHOPEE

I call this a perfect weekend outfit that's perfect to drive around and do some errands!
How do you like this look?
I have been following Nail artists from Korea, Japan and Taiwan. I am envious of their “jelly nails” and wondered how it was done.
With constant research + All thanks to Lazada and Shopee, I was able to purchase Gel Nail Polishes that are meant to have jelly, shiny nails outcome. I also love how they added a new element like Foil and I actually bought gold ones so I actually tried this nail art design for the first time and it took me less than 10 minutes!
Here’s the result! How do you like it?

Hello AMW Friends! How have you been? I’ve seen a lot of you are cooking more during the pandemic and I find myself cooking way more than before because I cook not only for my family but also for my in-laws who live a couple of houses away!
That said, I replenish cooking ingredients on a monthly basis because I finish them up so fast! Thankfully, E-commerce thrived the past years and I am lucky enough to purchase Asian ingredients online as opposed to going to Ongpin or Aranque for that. You all know I’ve been shopping A LOT online as I share my good finds on my Instagram Stories just like this one. And no, you don’t have to cook Chinese dishes only for Chinese New Years, you can do so ANYTIME of the year!

And here are just some of the MANY products they offer! My “Mommy-Chef-Heart” is so happy!
Who likes taking their vitamins?
I am definitely NOT raising my hands. I am one of those laziest person you can find to take vitamins as I find some multivitamins to be too big and too smelly!
Yeah, I am such a big baby, I shouldn’t complain but that’s me being honest here! So when I was introduced to a fun way to take vitamins by my good friend, I can’t say no of course! Who does not like better ways to take vitamins? Even as an ADULT? COUNT ME IN!
If like me you want to make sure to be reminded that these are NOT candies and are to be taken as real vitamins, check out the right dosage on how to take these vitamins!
And just in case you wonder, the Gummy Melatonin can actually be taken by kids 4 years and up!
Self-care is essential in one’s life and it gets more important especially the pandemic. We increasingly want to take control of our health and so far, I am giving myself a pat on the back for doing the right thin for the past year and a half!
I have been diligently staying at home and depending on online shopping so I can call myself an expert in that field. That said, staying home may lead to less sickness but of course, sickness will still visit us at least once or twice a year. Thankfully, with the presence of online consultation and e-Pharmacy, common ailments like sore-throat, allergies and diarrhea can be stopped with over-the-counr products that can be easily accessed with just a few clicks!
The e-Pharmacy will be hoe to trusted brands such as the following —-
Tylenol for pain and fever reduction, Imodium for diarrhea.
