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. :)

Product Review: MakeUp For Ever lipstick in 203.

During makeup school last year, I encountered a bright pink lipstick. I was in a pinup craze that time, so I snob the lipstick and stay close to my red. Until our culminating project, I was brainstorming for a look, and was inspired by fairies. I went to school and practice (yes, we can do that. Only if there are no classes there and you tell the instructors in advance). It was perfect for the look I was going for. So, I chat up at the counter with Ms Angie and asked if the shade is available. She told me that it's soldout and they dont know if the next shipment will include this. So I asked her to put me in the waiting list and contact me as soon as possible if this arrives. Almost a year later (HAHA! Yes. I was in the waiting list since June last year), I finally got my dream bright pink lipstick.

MUFE in 203.

(Poor lipstick, the heat in our country did this. :(But it's still okay though)

Swatch.

PROs:

A. Long wearing! One application lasts 12hours, and I was in Enchanted Kingdom!

B. Doesn't budge! Cool. I can kiss my daughter with this

C. Almost non-drying.

D. Great color pay-off!

E. Goes on really creamy but dries into a matte finish

CONs:

A. Not always available

B. Like any high end brands, it's price.

C. The packaging! I really dont like it. You see that dent on the top the lipstick?

If you dont twist it properly in place, the packaging will move with minimal effort.

This happened to another MUFE lipstick I own.

Review: Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Foundation

I have this for quite a while, and I've been using this more than my MAC Studio Fix.
Here's my two cents about this foundation
(im doing this review, base on personal experience, and what I experience from school when using this foundation)

PRO:
1. It's full coverage. You need so little of this! Sometimes, I can save some concealer since this will cover up everything. :)
2. It looks soooo natural! I'll try to post a picture for reference (I'll post it this afternoon if I'm in the mood to play with makeup.)
3. This is the best part for me since I really love cuddling with my baby! IT DOESNT STAIN YOUR CLOTHES!! :) Unlike my MAC which sticks on everything even if I set it right!

CONs:
1. The price! It's Php 1950 if my memory serves me right.
2. It sets quickly.
3. Hard to blend when used without a primer.

(FOR REFERENCE AGAIN, my skin is combination-dry. So, I dont pretty much have trouble on it creasing or my face being oily.)

Tips:
Since this sets quickly, act fast! This works better with a Flat Foundation brush than the stippling brush. Of course, with the Flat foundation brush you'll get streaks, so to aid this: even out the application with a sponge. :)

Will I buy it again? YES! because I love it so much. :) This MIGHT be my hg foundation. :)
