My Product Empties #25 : My Lucky Seven Products
1.Etude House Easy Brow Pencil

I forgot what this one is already but this one is in black. This eyebrow is very affordable. I love how creamy it applies on and also it is quite long lasting. For any makeup newbie, this eyebrow pencil will be your new bestfriend. I kid you not.

VERDICT: No doubt! It's always a winner and I won't be tired to repurchase this soon.

2. Winage Moisture Set 

This is an amazing gift set that contains the moisture toner and moisture emulsion. Both have caviar and truffle as their active main ingredients. What I love most about these two combination is they're lightweight, layer well under makeup / foundation and make the skin texture look plump, soft and nourished. I've written a short a blog about this HERE

VERDICT: A big winner in this list of empties. I'm just sad I can't easily repurchase this in the Philippines. Well, if you're looking for a good toner and emulsion, I highly recommend you these two. You'll thank me  later. :)



3. Celeteque Facial Wash with NMF ( Natural Moisturizing Factor)

It  has  mild  cleansing  agents  and  a  special  combination  of moisturizers that gently yet effectively clean without drying your skin.

VERDICT: I love this cleanser. It does the job and makes the skin moisturized after washing. I will totally repurchase this.

4. Human Nature Natural Conditioner in Cool Peppermint

This is a well loved product here. It is basically claims to strengthen the hair avoiding brittle and falling hair.  One ingredient in it is the Hydrolyzed wheat protein that helps fortify hair to dramatically reduce both breakage and hair loss.

VERDICT : Of course, I'll definitely repurchase this again. Love the cooling sensation it does to my hair. Plus, it feels good to support locally produced products.

5. Simple Micellar Cleansing Wipes

They are specially made with Micellar Water for a thorough yet gentle cleanse. It's very easy to use especially at night when you just want to remove your makeup very quickly. Why I love this? It does make my skin feeling fresh, clean and somewhat hydrated. I've created a short review about this product HERE 

VERDICT : Another product to repurchase soon. That simply means again that I completely recommend this to anyone looking for a good cleansing wipes.

6. Nyx Natural Eyeshadow Palette

This   has  7  different  colors  to  choose  from.   You can use them naturally or  go dramatic if  you  want to. These  colors  claim  to enhance your eyes instantly. You can wear them as they are and you can also use them as a neutral base for any colorful shadows.

VERDICT: I died when I had this. It's like a hit or miss with the colors. I only like the darker shades. Next, they feel very chalky. Lastly, they're not long lasting to use. Sorry but I totally disappointed having this in my stash. 

7. Skinfood Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake

This eyebrow powder claims to create beautiful and natural looking brows. Its main ingredient is cacao so it smells good and safe to use especially in the eye area. I've also reviewed this product HERE 

VERDICT: If you have light eyebrows then you'll like this. Unlike me, I have thick and black eyebrow hair, so this product doesn't work easily. I combine this powder cake and eyebrow pencil to define my brows nicely. :) 

There you have it guys. I've done mentioning them here. How about you? Do we have similar products? Let me know and let's exchange ideas. Take care and see you next time in my next blog entry.

Canmake Color Change Eyebrows in #01

Hi lovely friends! How have you been these days? I have here another Japanese product from Canmake that is good for the eyebrows and function as a brow gel too. It's called Canmake Color Change Eyebrows in #01.

What's it about?

This claims to completely change the look and color of you eyebrows instantly. With just one coat, it provides a rich color effect that bleaches the brows. It's waterproof and smudge-proof. This shade # 01 is a chestnut brown that is recommended for people who have dark brown and  black hair. It's a versatile and natural color that gives a soft and gentle aura.

Photos of the Product

Steps How To Fix Your Eyebrows with the Product

1. Comb your brows before applying any product on it.

2. Make a tentative line on your brows and it also depends what shape you want to achieve for that day.

3. Slightly fill in some sparse area using an eyebrow powder or if you want you can also use an eyebrow pencil to speed up the process.

4. Lightly use this Canmake product on the brows themselves to achieve a softer look. It's like tinting your eyebrows literally. Viola, that's it. :) 

PROS

• It colors my black thick eyebrows successfully.
• It's water-resistant and stays put even on hot and humid days.
• It stays true to its color.
• It can be a good eyebrow gel because it holds the eyebrows in place.

CONS

• It's hard to buy this locally especially here in Cebu.
• It's just available in two shades.
• It's hard to use at first especially because the product just hardened after a few minutes after applying it on so you have to be quick in using this.

My Overall Thoughts

At first, I thought I didn't like this product because I didn't like how it looked my brows. Then after weeks of trial and error processes, I realized that this product is merely intended to change the colors of your brows and as a eyebrow gel at the same time. I guess I enjoy using this product because the change of my eyebrows' color really makes a lot of difference in my eye area. Plus, it holds my brows in place and the color doesn't fade or something.

Will I recommend it? Oh yes definitely. Anyhow, hope you find it helpful guys. Let's continue discovering good beauty products and be the best version of ourselves every time. Take care.

Witch's Pouch Selfie Perfect Eyebrow

Hello! I am back to talk about an important aspect of our lives, our eyebrows. Yes! Eyebrows truly are life. They just frame our face nicely and instantly make us look put together. Raise your hands if you agree. Lately, I've discovered this brand Witch Pouch that carries this good eyebrow product and decided to give a try. Let's continue and give you the details about this good eyebrow product.

What's it about?
This is a retractable eyebrow pencil. The tip has an oval shape. 

This is how the product looks on my brows. ( Taking a selfie is hard. Pardon me. )

PRICE : It only costs P 150.

PACKAGING : It comes in a double purpose style. One end has the eyebrow product and the other has the brush. Also, it comes with a free refill. Yay!

TEXTURE : It has a soft texture which makes application easy and smooth. 

SHADE: I have here light brown and dark brown.

PIGMENTATION: It's just enough to draw and cover sparse lines on the brows somehow. 

My Overall Thoughts

This is actually a pretty decent product. I love that it has an added refill. Also, I like that it has double-ended brow kit that makes it so easy to use. The best advantages of this products are the price point and how it's strong enough to use and doesn't break so easily when you use it. Yehey! The only bad thing of this is it isn't water-proof like what it claims to be. I'm not complaining though. :)

Well, you should try this one and it's definitely worth the purchase. 
I'll give you link of this product from the Althea website.
