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!)

That's eight (8) full-sized budge-proof makeup products worth a total of Php 3,860 and you can get it for just Php 1,480 from BDJ Box! You save Php 2,380!

Now let's take a look at these babies one by one. But first, let me just say that I had no idea about this brand Heroine Make (Kiss Me or Isehan Kiss Me) until I saw the poster of Himeko Elizabeth (Princess Elizabeth) and her cat, Sliphead. At first glance I thought I was looking at an anime series being promoted but then I found out that it's a Japanese cosmetic line! OMG! Could it get any better? YES! Because the products are really good and I'm not saying that because I'm partial to anything Japanese. You'll have to check it out for yourself if you don't take my word for it. Though I should say this right off the bat that I am pretty impressed at how these products perform.

  Even their packaging is so kawaii! Some might not be too happy but I for one am extremely delighted just looking at the packaging. I mean, the Japanese are pretty cool like that.  (｡◕‿◕｡)


Face sunblocks tend to break me out so I don't really use them unless I have to, like when I'm subjected to sun exposure for a prolonged period. But when comparing this to my Belo Sun Expert Face Cover SPF40, I am loving the Heroine Make Sun Killer Perfect Strong Plus SPF 50+ because it feels like a light moisturizer that dries up to a non-sticky finish. They have another facial sublock which has a menthol one and I think I'd love that even more. Must check that out, too.



For a BB cream, this one certainly delivers! Instant brightening effect, although even the shade #02 seems pretty light on my face. It also acts like a primer because it hides pores! It did blend into my skin and applying powder was so much easier afterwards and also I didn't even have to use a lot. It's fairly affordable, too! It's got SPF 50 so expect to get a white cast on your face when you use flash photography. For daytime use, I'd say this is a product you should check out.



If you don't like wearing foundation, then this powder is your best bet. Why? Because it makes skin look super flawless! I haven't tried any powder that worked as good as this and kept my face matte and shine-free. It's a bit expensive for a powder but for me it's worth every centavo. I love the powder puff because it's so fluffy and it's such a joy to pat the powder on your face with to make sure the product is absorbed.



To be honest, liquid eyeliners scare me. I can't even get my Lancome Artliner to work properly on my eyes. When I saw that this eyeliner's brush was super thin, I realized it shouldn't at all be difficult. I'm used to lining my eyes now with gel liner and the consistency of this product is somewhat thick and not "wet" that it's pretty easy to apply and line my eyes. It looks really natural with a touch of shimmer, great for casual days and when you just want to dress up those peepers but want to skip eyeshadows. It also stays put once it has dried so no worries about panda eyes.



Because it comes with a brush I find it so much easier to apply glue on false eyelashes. I used those tube types before and I always make a mess with them especially when I'm in a hurry but with this wand, I can control the amount of glue I put on the lashes. The product's consistency is somewhat wet so it takes time to dry but not really long. It's just a bit longer than those stickier types of glue from tubes.

After 5 hours, mascara, eyeliner, and eyebrow still intact!

(✿◠‿◠) So in a nutshell, I'm loving these products because these are meant to be sweat and sebum resistant, budge proof, if not totally waterproof. The humid weather here definitely is something to consider when buying makeup so I definitely recommend Heroine Make if you want long-lasting makeup.
