K-Palette Reformulated Review

 

Hi Everyone!
By this day and age, you've probably mastered your perfect brows!  If you still haven't, don't worry!  No Pressure!  I am here to share some more brow products that can make your brow game stronger!

2-Way Eyebrow Liquid

Php895.00
Available LAZADA

Unique 2-way design. Eyebrow powder to create natural eyebrow shape, eyebrow liquid to sharpen the tail. 24 hours waterproof, sweat-proof, sebum-proof, 4 shades available.

I got shade 02 Natural brown and 04 Dark Greige for review!

Top: 02 Natural Brown Pencil and Liquid 

Bottom: 04 Dark Greige Pencil and Liquid

Top: 02 Natural Brown powder

Bottom: 04 Dark Greige powder

For you to better understand how this works or look, I've worn K-Palette reformulated 2-Way Eyebrow Liquid in Shade 02 Natural Brown on my left brow facing you (where I am pointing).  Now you can see how it looked with the pencil + liner combo.

This side is shade 04 Dark Greige with Pencil + Liner.  Now you can see how brown and greige would look against my skin.  Which one is your pick?

Brow Grooming Tutorial (Plucking edition)

 

I did the post How To Trim and Groom your Brows the easiest way year 2012.  OMG, that was exactly 10 years ago!  

Things did not change, I still trim and groom my brows the same way but this time, I am updating it for friends who are brave enough to use TWEEZERS!

I find using tweezers my favorite and MOST disliked way --- talk about being a girl! :P  I love it for the fact that brow hairs grow slower as compared to using a shaver.  The dislike?  You all know how it can put you to tears!  Especially since I really have thick brow hairs!

Without further ado, I have been fixing, trimming and grooming my brows this way the whole pandemic.  I haven't gotten the chance to go to a Brow Waxing Salon aka BENEFIT BROW BAR so...sariling sikap!

To further explain and for you to understand it more...feel free to watch this short IG reel that I created particularly for you to see how I trim, pluck and fix my brows!  Happy Watching!

Benefit POWmade Brow Pomade Review

 

I have reviewed every single brow product from Benefit Cosmetics I believe.

As far as I remember, most of the eyebrow products from the brand earned at least a THUMBS up from me.  Some earned 2 thumbs up!  One of my favorite brow product from the brand is the Benefit Ka-Brow - shocking right?  You would expect me to pick a pencil but brow cream/gel are actually easier to manage and gives off a more natural vibe!  The only issue?  I had a hard time using it with the small glass pot opening and how at times I get to “accidentally” not close the cap well making half of my Ka-Brow gel dry up!  

I am not sure if the new Benefit POWmade Brow Pomade is somewhat a relative of Ka-Brow but if you ask my opinion, yes, it is really similar but housed in a way better packaging!

Benefit says —-

POWer to your brows! Take control of your brows with our 36-hour* full-pigment brow pomade! POWmade Brow Pomade glides on POWerful color and pairs perfectly with our Dual-Ended Angled Eyebrow Brush (sold separately) for controlled, precise application.  The creamy feeling, waterproof**, non-drying*** formula allows you to fill, sculpt & define brows with natural-looking depth & dimension. The built-in brush wiper ensures the perfect amount of pomade on your brush to create clean lines and shape brows with precision.

Available in 8 versatile shades: 2 warm golden blonde, , 2.5 neutral blonde, 3 warm light brown, 3.5 neutral medium brown, 3.75 warm medium brown, 4 warm deep brown, 4.5 neutral deep brown, 5 warm black-brown

Make Up For Ever Brow Filler and Brow Definer review

 

A week ago, I attended a virtual launch of Make Up For Ever PH’s Aqua Resist brow products!  3 new brow products under this line and I am featuring the 2 pencils because I have been using and testing these ever since I got them.

Make Up For Ever’s Brow Filler and Brow Definer

Price: Php1,400 each

Available online at Lazada

I got both shades in 30 Soft Brown

Top: Brow Filler

Bottom: Brow Definer

Aqua Resist Brow Filler 

Multi-use slanted tip brow pencil with a built-in spoolie that delivers 24HR waterproof, smudge-proof wear. Ideal for patchy or sparse brows.

The pencil is thicker so it is easier to fill larger areas as compared to the Brow Definer.  This is a retractable pencil and you get pigmented brow pencil with a nice touch of wax - yes, I can feel the wax as my stubborn brow hairs are pushed in place (even upwards without issue) upon using the product.  I also like how it can “tint” my brow hairs naturally.  Check out my before and after photo below.

Benefit Microfilling Brow Pen Review

 

Hi AMW Friends.  I have been in very good relationship with Benefit Cosmetics as a brand even way before they arrived in the Philippines.  I remembered purchasing from online shops Benefit Box O’ Powders to Concealers and finally brow products when they were readily available locally.

Aside from great packaging and cute concepts, I can say, I love most of their product releases.  There are a few that I can let go - just because they don’t work for my skin type, but I heavily rely on professionally (referring to Benefit’s POREfessional!).

But one product line from the brand I heavily rely on for personal use are their brow products.  I memorize all Benefit Brow products like the back of my hand!  I know every single releases and I know exactly how to use them even with my eyes close - nah, I am just exaggerating :P  

You are probably saying: “What?? Another release?  I have so many brow products I don’t need another one!”

TRUE and FALSE.

TRUE, if your current brow set works just as fine.

FALSE, if you are currently using one but wanted something more!

Just like me, I can never use 1 brow product and say it is enough!  I have to use at least 2, sometimes 3!  And the new Benefit Microfilling Brow Pen is really part of my makeup essentials!  (My brow gap says so!)

Benefit says —-

The microbladed look made easy! Brow Microfilling Pen creates the illusion of natural brow hair with 3 ultra-fine lines in a single stroke. It's designed to blend in with existing hairs, fill in gaps AND make brows appear where before there were none. The easy-to-apply formula of this brow pen looks natural and is waterproof*, smudge-proof and longwearing, creating a microbladed effect that lasts for 24 hours*. No pain, no commitment, just great brows!

• Creates a 24-hour* Microbladed Effect
• 3-prong tip with 3 different lengths mimics natural brow hair
• Comes in 4 versatile shades

Strokes Beauty Lab: The Brow Artist Collection First Try

 

Hi AMW Friends!
You all know I love drawing my brows.  Whenever I have them drawn, I get compliments on the shape and how full it was!  I guess that is my most "flexed" part of my face!  :P

So if you ask me, YES, I still gets excited about new brow products even after more than 10 years of trying various brands!

The Brow Collection includes: Microblade Pen, Brow Painter, Brow Sculptor Duo, 

Brow Colorist and Brow Fixer

Recently, Instagram was flooded with a new brow brand called Strokes BeautyLab.  I mean all the girls posing their photos look great!  But what got me interested with the brand is how even non makeup wearers are starting to look like they have professional-looking brows!  

And you all know me, I have to give these products a try as well!  So I unboxed everything and did a quick swatch for you guys just in case you are interested in investing on good brow products.  And to keep everything simplified, I created another video discussing on the usage of each product and you'll know which particular product (or products) you should get!
