=D
I get overly excited about cosmetics...a bit too excited...
like my mom always say: you have too much make up!
but i happen to have a very soft spot for make up...
long story short...
going to review about the latest brow product from benefit - gimme brow
close friends will know that i have an unhealthy obsession with eyebrows...
unless i'm wearing glasses...if not,i must draw my brows! i don't mind going out bare face which i always do...but i must have my brows filled! because without my brows...i have no face LOL
the packaging itself....the usual benefit retro design
got mine in medium/dark
the product itself
the wand is teeni-tiny which is supposed to give more mobility
my eye brow using gimme brow paired with my shu uemura eyebrow pencil..
verdict: it's a perfect product if you have thick eyebrows but with certain sparse area...
but if you have eyebrows like me which has an apologetically amount of hair == then you would need to pair it up with a brow pencil/shadow to achieve the bold eyebrow look...i could pull it off by just using it on my right brow but for my left brow which has even lesser hair, the gel itself is not enough to create the boldness that i want to achieve...
this product softens the harshness of my brows given by the brow pencil and gives my brows a more voluminous look by thickening my natural brows....
well, i would say that it's a good product but just not perfect for people with brows like me...
for people with naturally thick brows...good for you!
next on the list~
NARS and Tarte has finally made their way to Malaysia~!
I have been using NARS's products since being exposed to it when I was in the UK and I was stoked when I can finally get it here! =D
I got only one thing from NARS because I already have a few of their products...
got a blush in the shade Gilda... a peachy, orangey blush which I don't have in my collection =)
swatch of the blush
first impression: the shade is just too cute to pass up and i just like the orange tint it gives my complexion... best of all, it's not glittery like orgasm which makes it much wearable..=D
now.. last but not least~ Tarte~!
tarte just launched in Sephora this week and I have been wanting to try their products for the longest of time as I've heard so much good things about their things...
didn't get their cult amazonian clay blushes though as I've gotten just a new blush so that will have to wait...
got their limited edition set =D the packaging is sooo pretty!
eye shadow quad =)
finishing powder
lash primer
mascara
eyeliner pencil
lip chubby stick with sharpener
swatches:
the eyeliner pencil is soooo smooth! glides on like a breeze...not sure about the staying power yet...will have to examine longer
swatches of the eyeshadow quad...
the colour payoff if ok...not as good as urban decay but still decent..will have to try it on more to judge
the wand of the mascara..haven't tried yet...will see =)
the lipstick in the shade smitten
the colour is sooo pretty.... the main reason why i've gotten this set
a not so clear picture of me wearing smitten(lipstick), gilda(blush) and gimme brow (eyebrow)
I'll end my review here =)
