BLK Cosmetics Brow Sculpting Pencil Duo Review

How does one knows if an Eyebrow Pencil works or not?

Well, it has to be extremely easy-to-use and the effect should always be natural - very natural that no one can tell you're wearing makeup!

When BLK Cosmetics launched their full face #UncomplicatedBeauty makeup products, I have to agree with Anne Curtis when she said, she wanted a makeup line so easy-to-use even those who aren't familiar with makeup techniques can use the products and feel good using them.

Out of all the BLK Cosmetics I've tried, I have to give them my thumbs up in this particular products called the Brow Sculpting Pencil Duo just because it works!  (And you all know how particular I am when it comes to reviewing eyebrow products!)

The BLK Cosmetics Brow Sculpting Pencil Duo  comes in 2 shades --- Natural Brown and Taupe.  Most Filipinas would probably pick a Natural Brown but if you wanted brows that doesn't have much reddish brown tint to it, you may want to look into this particular shade called TAUPE because it is one of the most natural-looking brow pencil shade - and there's not a lot of them!

BLK Cosmetics Brow Sculpting Pencil Duo Says ---

Ace your arches. Define, fill in, and groom brows in place with this pencil-and-brush duo. The triangle tip has a pointed end to create thin lines and a flat tip for thicker strokes, while the creamy pencil is infused with aloe vera to gently condition your strands. Apply lightly for a natural look or heavily for a full brow. 

Welcome 2018 with Bright Colors

Since I was a little girl, celebrating New Year means wearing something RED.

As I grow older, I understand the real meaning of New Year and wearing bright colors doesn't cover what's in your heart.  I strongly believe in having a BRIGHT Outlook in life to attract good vibes!

But of course, wearing bright colors doesn't hurt!  Since I felt the need to outgrow the usual Bright Reds on New Years Day, I've decided to mix a bit of Pantone 2018 Color of the Year which is Ultra Violet with RED which is a true Magenta shade.

I was able to browse through my big pile of lipstick for this perfect shade to jumpstart my 2018!

Weekeend Foot Trip at: Open Table Restaurant

Every single weekend of the year (Saturdays OR Sundays), we meet up with my family for a quiet dinner just to catch up on each others' lives!  Because of that, I'm starting to let them try new restaurants as much as I can because we really love bonding over food! 

Because I am a researcher at heart, I've found a restaurant called Open Table located at Mother Ignacia, Quezon City.

This is a small restaurant wherein they can fit 2 small tables on the first floor and around 20pax max on the second floor.  I highly recommend to call the restaurant for reservation if you plan to dine in big groups!  I gave them a call earlier because my dad is on wheelchair and thankfully, we were able to get the 2 tables at the first floor because the stairs are quite steep going up for an almost 80 year old person!

I checked out their menu prior to going there but unfortunately, a lot of the dishes we wanted to try are unavailable!  We were told by the friendly staffs that they didn't have any deliveries that day which I understood because it was nearing Christmas when we dined there.

Peter Thomas Roth, is the brand I usually see on online sites like Sephora and Ulta and I'm glad to check them out in person!

Clio Kill Brow Auto Hard Brow Pencil Review

When you visit a Club Clio store, you'll see this brown and yellow box displayed as one of their top-selling product in store!  Personally speaking, I find an Eyebrow Pencils to be the easiest to find because they are either GOOD or BAD!  No in-between!  

But after hearing raves about this particular pencil, I have to grab one and see for myself!  I mean a pencil is just a pencil, what more can it do right?

WRONG!  I find this to go beyond my expectations and I'll tell you why!
