How To Fix Your Brows (Part 2)




Yesterday, I talked about the easiest way to fix your brows if you are a newbie or if you just don't want to do anything on your brows!

Today, I am inspired to do a Part 2 of this topic because, there are some of you who have color-treated hair and this is the best way to change the way you look without getting out of your comfort zone.

TINTED BROW MASCARAS!
I got the Karadium x Pucca Eyebrow Cara online via YEF Shop just because I love Pucca and I used to collect her dearly!  Little did I know that aside from the product looking "just cute" to be a collection, I finally mustered enough courage to use it and it actually goes beyond cuteness!  It works!

This Pucca Love Edition Brow Cara is available in 3 shades (01 Light Brown, 02 Dark Brown and 03 Gray Brown).  I picked Light Brown because that has always been my choice shade for Brow Mascaras.

You get 6.5g of product and I'm so happy it the packaging is simple yet it has a very cute full body of Pucca printed on tube and box!   This will be kept for sure even if I used up the product.

How To Fix Your Brows --- First-timers Edition




I've had a couple of clients who literally prevents me from touching their brows.  One example closest to me that I can share is... *ahem* my sister-in-law!  (Hi Grace!) 

As much as I want to talk them out of their comfort zone, I respect their decision to keep their brows in their natural-looking state until they are ready.  So what do I do to keep their brows looking decent without makeing them uncomfortable?

I use Brow Mascaras!  The clear ones!  Just to "groom" and keep their brows in place.

One brand that I've relied on is from Flormar called Eyebrow Fixator Mascara.

"Eyebrow Fixator Mascara helps you shape your eyebrows easily by making your eyebrows fuller and makes your eye make-up long-lasting. It sets the shape after eyebrow powder or eyebrow pencil application. Providing the eyebrows with care thanks to Aloe Vera, sweet almond oil and panthenol in its formula, it also helps your eyebrows to a natural look with its transparent gel texture. You need to apply the Flormar eyebrow setter starting from the inside out. By doing so, your eyebrow shape will stay the same."

What's unique with the Brow Fixator from Flormar is their brush applicator.  As opposed to the usual "mascara wand", this comes in a short comb as shown on photo below making it easy to get into each brow strands.

Benefit Hoola Quickie Contour Stick Review


 
Hoola is Benefit's iconic product to contour and warm your face.  I remembered using it a lot during workshops explaining attendees how to rightfully use it and how amazing it it.
 
Then came the Hoola Quickie Contour Stick, which is the cream stick version of the famous Hoola Box O' Powder.  I am so excited to use this especially since this is cream to powder finish which I think would work for my skin type.

I have been using this on and off since I've been trying out so many contour products, but after MONTHS, I'm finally ready to share my thoughts on this.

In2It Triangular Eyebrow Liner Review




"Kilay Is Life" --- (Brows are life) and it's true!
Given that I wake up very early in the morning to iron my son's uniform, to prepare his things and to fix myself up, the latter is the least important of all so I always end up having barefaced look whenever I drive him to school.
BUT, one thing that I'm proud of is how I manage to fix my "kilay" even Kyle's teacher complimented how nice my brows are (I have to thank Benefit Brow Bar for keeping the shape intact!) and the rest is easy to manage with easy-to-use brow products.

Estee Lauder NEW Pure Color Love + How To Wear Them




 When I think about Estee Lauder lipsticks, I always think about toned down, natural-looking shades!  They are my to-go-to lip colors for Bridal makeup.  

Who would've thought year 2017 would be a year they turn 360 degrees with a collection of vibrant shades and striking finishes called NEW PURE COLOR LOVE?


 And I love how younger I look wearing these shades!  (Seriously, even if you don't agree, I feel so young wearing them hahaha!)
