Review: In2It Waterproof Eyebrow Colour

In2 It Waterproof Eyebrow Colour

As a makeup artist, you tend to test products a lot and find makeups that can come close to other expensive brands. As a blogger, I want to try different things to help some girls who are on a budget or finding an alternative.

My brow addiction started when I first saw how my instructors from MakeUp For Ever do theirs. They would always compliment my eye color, but always comment about the brows. This pushed me more. And I wanna thank them for an intensive training and honest opinions. I would practice day and night to get that fresh-from-the-magazine brows, and despite trying different products, I still always go back to powder eyebrow color.

But my Bobbi Brown has finally hit it's pan and I know it wont be long before I finish the lightest color. So, I end up looking for an alternative while I'm still saving up for replenishment. Then Liz of Projectvanity.ph came to the rescue and saw her recent brow routine. So when I went to the mall, I didnt think twice in getting this product.














(L-R): In2It Lightest color, Bobbi Brown's Sable, In2It Medium Color, BB Mahogany and In2It darkest color.

PROs:
1. Inexpensive! At Php299.00, you could never go wrong with this
2. Has a mirror. It's not as big as the Bobbi Brown's but it still works.
3. Smooth color. And not chalky.
4. Middle color is love.
5. Obviously, it comes close to my BB Brow Kit in terms of pigmentation, staying power and smoothness.
6. Will work with different hair colors.

CONs:
1. The free brush. I threw this out since I love to use MAC 266 for my brows.
That's it! Im going to use this as my brow powder from now on.
This would last me years to finish. :)

Product Review: Make Up For Ever's Eyebrow Corrector

During days when I'm too lazy to do a whole face, I'll just slab on my moisturizer and put my concealer on. But I always end up giving myself another 5minutes for brows and mascara. And that will complete my morning makeup and still look well-made. :)

Lately, I've been reaching for this item: Make Up For Ever's Eyebrow Corrector in No. 2
I got number 2 since I re-dye to black.

Eyebrow Corrector

Swatch. T: lined. B: blended.

PROs:
1. It's waterproof! Finally, no more retouching my brows after I wash my face mid-day.
2. It's almost smudge-proof. It survives a scratch or two (no hard rubbing here!)
3. It looks pretty natural when blended. Doesn't look "too thick". :)
4. A little goes a long way. I dont have any idea when I'll finish this! haha
5. Hygienic packaging. Unlike MAC Brow Set that you have to re-dip the mascara brush everytime.

CONs:
1. If you have lighter hair, the shade 0 will be a little hard to get since it will sell out fast. Unlike darker shades, they seem to have No 2 and the second shade always.
2. It's not sweat-proof. During the recent humid weather in my country I would have to set it with brow powder since cream and heat doesn't mix well.
3. You have to brush your eyebrows with a spoolie/clean mascara wand to avoid looking fake. I will never just put it on and not brush it. My brows look flat!
4. Expensive. This is around 1,100+pesos.

I dont think I'll be buying another one of this since it will take me ages to finish this. :)
