Review: Wet n Wild Ultimate Brow Kit

I decided to do a review of make-ups on hand, therefore, some of the products may be a bit dirty from constant use or the labels has been damaged.  I am not a professional make-up artist but I will try to review the product base on my own opinion and experience.

Price Range: P369.00

How to use: (from packaging)

1. Tweeze. Remove any stray hairs from above or below brow.
2. Define. Fill in eyebrows with one or both Brow Powders to match hair color
3. Hold. Apply Brow Wax in an upward direction to keep brow in place.

Observations/Opinion:

·  I like the packaging.  It includes a small tweezer, a tapered brow brush and a mirror placed underneath a slide compartment below the palette which makes it free from any residue which I really like.

However the brush is a bit too soft for me.  Initially it worked really well, but after some repeative use, the brush became a bit to soft to actually use for precision.  I had difficulty in along the edges of my brow to achieve that tapered look.

Very pigmented on the first application.

This swatch actually shows the darker and lighter shade.  You may not see much of a difference since I applied a few repeated strokes on this. 

After 3 hours, you will notice that the color ,especially at the edges are starting to fade.

Will I buy again?

Maybe.If I don’t have any option. But since I saw a lot of reviews on brow products and applications, I wanted to try them out too so I can compare which would suit me best.

Review: Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick

     I decided to do a make-up review for a change and since I know that sometimes I go MIA, I would like to feature what I have right now before I finish them all up and their labels start to fade.

Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick

my personal tube. bit dirty since i already started using it :)

Color : Light Beige Frost (510A) 

Description : Glides on creamy for moist looking lips.  Enriched with conditioning ingredients of Vitamin A & E and Aloe Vera.

Source: From Pretty Fix September Collection

Price Range: P150 – P190

Observations/Opinion:

• Glides smoothly during application.
• Has a pinkish undertone and a bit shimmery against the light making it moist looking.
• I do have dry lips, so I let it stay for the duration of the day (applied at 2PM) to check for lip condition. After 3 hours of lip smacking, talking, smiling and drinking, color is still vibrant. After 2 hours more, color starts to fade but is still there until it became a dark pinkish tint for 3 hours more.
• The pigmentation was OK considering I wasn't wearing any lip liners and the dark edges of my lips are hardly visible ( the reason why I don’t use sheer lipsticks).
• The fragrance is subtle for you not to eat nor hate :D
• Packaging is simple and a no-brainer. But if you are a lover of cute packaging, you might not want this.

Will I buy again? Yes but in another shade. Although according to friends, the color when worn was ok with my skintone, I still find it a bit pink, and I am not that fond of pink lipsticks :) although I don't mind using it on lazy days ...

Review : Megan Deep Cleansing Nose Pore Strips

Warning: This blog may contain pictures not to your liking :)

I was at the grocery, shopping when I saw this and remembered that it has been a while since I had my facial and one my facial problem is black and white heads.  Seriously...So when I saw this, I got it along with a hair removal cream for my legs.

I forgot how much it cost but will make an update as soon as I head backto do some shopping but if my memory serves me right,it is less than 200php.  A box contains 12 strips each separately contained in a foil pack.

Directions for use: (came with the box with a few revisions)

1. Wipe the nose clean with water and slightly wet nose ( I prefer to use luke warm water to open up the pores so the white and blackheads adhere to the strip when it dries).  Be sure that the nose is slightly wet becuase the nose strip will not adhere much and may not work effectively.

2. Tear of the nose strip sachet and peel off the nose strip from the plastic liner.

3. Place the shiny surface of the nose strip on the moistened nose, press and smooth out evenly.

4. Wait for 10-15 minutes, until the strip has dried.

5. Slowly peel the strip from the edges.  If the strips too strong and is painful to remove, wet the nose until the strip is easy to peel.

6. Wash off remaining residue with water.

Here is the result: this is the disgusting part...hehehe

It may not have removed all which is acceptable since I haven't tried anything perfect yet but it did removed a lot of my blackheads. See below (sorry for the visual).

It may hurt especially for first timers but it did say in the box that it might...and if it does, just moist the part where it sticks the most and pull slowly.

Rating: (1-5, 5 being the highest)
Effectivity = 4
Packaging = 5

So, will I buy it again?.. Yes, but I might reconsider other brands as well especially if it is highly recommended.

So till my next review :)

Revlon 3 Barrel Hair Waver

I asked someone who went abroad to buy me a deep waver.  One of my options were Bedhead and Revlon Jumbo waver. The bedhead wasn't available so he prompted for the revlon.  However, thinking the jumbo waver was too big, he opted for the regular 3 barrel.  Oh well, i just went for it since it was given as a gift. Who am I to argue.... hehehe.

REVLON 3 BARREL WAVE STYLER

Anyways, we tried out the much craved about "beach waves". My daughter is a fan of Kathryn Bernardo so I attempted her look for the new teleserye.

This is the result...

First, i sectioned the hair into 5 layers... the number of layers depends on how thick the hair strands are.

After sectioning the hair with the help of hair clippers which I bought at HBC, I had the revlon at high heat. Apparently, the other heat setting is not enough for my daughter's hair.

Get a few strands of hair... make sure that it is not too thick, so that the curls will stay in place. Working your way from the top, place the hair in between the barrels and press the lever for a few minutes, then release and start again where the curl from the first run end, then repeat the procedure til you arrived to the strands' end.

 Once the first layer of the hair is finished, repeat the procedure for all layers.

by the way, do use a heat protectant product if you are fond of using hot irons or curlers.  For this particular hairstyle, don't forget to use creams, mousse or hairsprays to ensure that the curls will hold.

once the hair is set, just brush it with your hands to separate the curls. Style it whatever you wish...it doesn't matter :)

So, do i recommend it?... honestly, if you have very thick hair, I wouldn' t. It gets a bit stressful in the arms since I can only do thin strands at a time, or else it won' t curl as good as expected.  I had tried doing more strands at a time, thus having the irregulaf curls as shown on the inner layers in the pictures above.  Maybe it has something to do with the heat.  My sister bought a babybliss and they were easier to use and can curl in a few seconds.  I might make a review on that when I get to borrow it from her again.
If you want for the curls to stay longer, you would really need to use good hair products to enhance the curls or an extreme hold hair spray...or they will just look frizzy after a few hours.  I still have hopes for the revlon 3 barrel jumbo waver shown below.

So, for now I will be in a lookout for these two products. They are larger and can create deeper waves than what I used.  I saw them in sulit however, they are a bit expensive....  compared to what i have now. Be wary when buying online though.... they run on 110V.  Be sure to have a transformer or if you have an AVR for your computer, check if there is a 110V slot for that...it is what i use for now :)
