Apparently everyone's doing it but I am not doing it because it's the "IN" thing right now. I don't think I have to justify my actions for accepting this challenge (you know for a fact how I love taking challenges!) but for all my haters out there, I do know what ALS truly is because I type and edit reports for a Neuro Rehab Center and some of the patients there are unfortunately afflicted with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. I can feel their pain and hopelessness as well as their significant others' care and concern. How difficult and extra challenging is Lou Gehrig's disease? Well, obviously the ice bucket challenge is nothing compared to it.

I already donated to WWW.ALSA.ORG even before I took the challenge and filmed this video. Having received the much needed help and assistance after Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda struck my hometown, this is a chance to pay it forward as well as spread awareness about ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease here in our country. I believe there are some Filipinos also battling this disease. So I hope you guys will donate to the ALS Association regardless if you haven't been nominated or have decided to do the #icebucketchallenge.



I nominate Eloisa Co of  KikaySiMaria.blogspot.com, Marmel Larrazabal Reposar, and Agnes Desiree Desquitado. I also nominate my beer buddy, Joenel Lou Tagalog, who I know for sure has extra beer money to donate to http://www.ALSA.org.

Here are my current favorite eyebrow products and reasons why I pick them. Apparently, a common denominator I look for in an eyebrow product is how long it lasts especially since I have oily skin.

• Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade - The product is long-lasting, no need to touch up throughout the day. Also available in a variety of colors.
• IN2IT Eyebrowns powder - Since it comes in 3 shades, you can mix and match or blend it to get the perfect color to match your hair. It claims to be waterproof but I don't believe that's the case for me at all.
• Etude House Color My Brows - This eyebrow mascara comes in, I believe, 5 different shades so that's a good thing. It also lasts throughout the day and is effective at taming unruly eyebrows.
• Heroine Make Quick Eyebrow pencil - Not waxy at all and lasts the whole day. It has a super fine tip that lets you draw natural looking eyebrows. Available in 3 shades. Very affordable for its high quality!
• Ben Nye Conceal All Wheel Concealer - I use this for highlighting and bringing out the perfect eyebrow shape.
• Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow - This truly is my HG eyebrow product. If I were to choose just one product to use, this is it and wouldn't trade it for anything else. It simply lasts forever and is absolutely waterproof!

My preferred angled brush to use with eyebrow products both cream and powder is my MAC 263 Angled Brush. It's got the perfect bristles to apply products and it's just the right size to draw or fill in my brows to get that ideal arched shape.

I was finally able to film and upload one of the most requested videos by my friends and followers. AN EYEBROW TUTORIAL!!! In here you can also see the live comparison for MUFE Aquabrow vs. Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade so you can decide for yourself which one to get. (Or get both, you won't regret either!) If you haven't seen my video, you can watch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5Zo1-HXWWo or just click PLAY on the embedded video below.



Note: It's in BISLISH, so if you don't understand Bisaya-English, I recommend turning on your closed captioning (CC) to view the English subtitles provided. :)

Thanks for dropping by and please do leave comments if there are any particular videos you'd like to see next. Would love to hear what you think of this video so I can improve my craft! Thanks again, guys, and have a wonderful week ahead!
