Brow issue

Now, those of you that have been blessed with thick brows, this is not for you. You see, a spot of threading or waxing gives you the perfect brow. Those of you, who like me come back from the saloon after a threading session, look and your brows and think…”wow I really don’t have hair in my brows!”- this post is for you.

I prefer not to take pictures using the flash on a camera. This is because I end up looking like I have half a brow atop each eye. I struggled with this half a brow look for a long time. I tried growing out my brow, I tried to get rid of less and less hair during threading, but nothing worked. Till one day my sister gifted me this !!!!! And boy did my half-a-brow-atop each eye days changed.

Id seen a lot of people filling in their brows with brow pencils or some form of pigment to add more definition. I just never though I would do that kind of thing, but lucky for me that has now changed and the wondermost thing is that I have two full brows!!!!

Okay now, Iv seen worse off brows and I don’t want to sound ungratefull, God gave me great brows. But we consumers and TV watchers are subject to what the media defines as beautiful and so my bid to look like I have fuller brows began. 😀

So this is the Brow Kit Shape & Define by BarryM. Its a nice compact size and comes with  tweezers, two pigments,a wax and a two sided brush. The brush has one slanted end and one round end. The instructions are very clear and are drawn out on the back of the box.

And here is the finished result on my brows, excuse me if its not that great- it was my first attempt.

I just dont know how its going to react to the heat etc as it does not say if its water proof…. I suppose ill just have to find out for my self!

Budget Makeup part 2

Some items just run out. And it happens so fast, you dont even notice. Yes, like eye liner and mascara….before you know it kaboom!!! theyr gone. And I’m like Dang woman! you use alot!

That’s why you need to have a bag of budget make-up. I recently bough LAKME’s eyeconic duo; Mascara + liner and you know what, I like.

The Eyeconic liner and mascara by Lakme (BTW It does not come with those flowers, that’s how I keep my son busy when I’m putting on my make up…Stickers!)

Here’s a little bit on the liner……

Its water proof, which is great because it can get hot and sweaty in India. I wouldn’t recommend wearing it without a base of either a compact or some foundation…..as it will spread if you begin to sweat in the eye region.

It gives a really nice dark matte black finish which is great if that’s what you’re looking for.

It has a shelf life of 30months and lasts me about 3 to 3.5 months, which is really ideal.

The twisty pencil does not come with a sharper, which can be a downer if you really wanted one with it. I know that Bourjois and other brands do give a little sharper at the bottom end of their twisty pencil liners.

Besides that, like all liners its easy to store and fits in most bags.

The Mascara is…

Does what its meant to do, adds a little volume and length to the lashes, nothing fancy. Just plain old mascara.

The stick does say curling mascara, so must do something to the lashes but nothing significantly different from your natural lashes.

It does the job for a light day look or an office look, where you want a clean subtle finish.

Would I recommend it to others? Yes I would recommend this pair. Its great to have because your spending less and getting a good product.

The liner cost 210 MRP and the mascara cost 399.
