Review: E.L.F. eyebrow kit in light

Hi lovelies :)

Here's another makeup review for you guys, the E.L.F. eyebrow kit in light.


Actual photo of the product. ( I forgot to take a picture of the product alone)


This is one of the make up products that I purchased in Manila, yes in Manila pa since I didn't really know that we have it here na pala in Iloilo until last week.

When I tested out the product at the counter, I really liked how the gel matches my skin tone and I immediately thought that this would help me a lot in defining my brows everyday. I have really thin eyebrows, blame it on my genes and not on plucking. (I got this from mama! I got it from my mama! I got it, I got it)

This is how the product looks like.

I am glad that it came with an applicator which makes it easy to carry around especially during a slumber party with friends or a night out somewhere.

But, pffft! :P The applicator is too small for my big hands. I use my Marionnaud N38 instead, since I also use the mascara brush on the other end to comb my brows for a more even application.


See? it's too cute :)




(from left to right)

1. Gel with the powder.
2. Powder alone.
3. Gel alone using the applicator that came with the eyebrow kit.
4. Gel alone using my Marionnaud N38.

See the difference of the applicators? If I use the one that came with the kit, man it will take me 10 years before I finish my brows.

What I like about the product:

  • The product stays longer compared to my Nichido eyebrow pencil that I have used before.
  • I do like the lipstick smell. lol
  • It's fills up the gaps on my brows perfectly.
What I don't like about the product:
  • The super small applicator.
  • The powder is too light for me, I don't use it. I stick with the gel.
  • If I put the powder on top of the gel, my brows look to hairy.
  • The fact that there was no other shades available.
Over - all:

I have been using this for around 2 - 3 weeks already and so far so good. I don't think it's the perfect eyebrow kit for me since I don't use the powder at all. It's a waste of money. I don't use too much of it since I don't want to like an orangutan :)

Will I repurchase?

If it's available on a darker shade (the powder alone), yes I will :)


So what's your favorite eyebrow kit? Would you like to recommend one for me?

Btw, I am in a huge battle right now. Me versus my pimples! :( I wanted to show you guys how it looks like when applied to brows, but I just can't. My face is filled with pimples right now. and the derm option products doesn't seem to work. they irritate me so freaking bad. I guess I now have sensitive/oily skin. crap!
If you know somebody who has oily/sensitive skin like me, please share their skin care regimen. I just purchased celeteque this morning. I do hope this will tame my pimples. ..

Much love love love,

Peepir

  1. Oh I have that in Dark but I barely use it. somehow the combination of gel + powder looks funny and using either one doesnt seem to look good. Must experiment with it again!

    Btw, yes, you should start using eye cream! Wrinkles are something you need to prevent as you can't really 'cure' them T_T

  2. Hi Peepir! I already answered your question in my blog. Please visit my blog to read my post about it.

    As for your question, I'm loving the eyebrow kit from Fanny Serrano now because it has 4 shades and you can also use the shades to create a smoky eye look or just use as plain eye shadow.

    As for the Celeteque, I tried it before but when my breakouts got worse, I just had to change it. I use Celeteque when I'm travelling just because it's available in a convenient travel size. When my stash runs out, I'll probably look for another brand.

  3. Hi Isabel. :) I am using the kit right now since I have no other eyebrow kits to use, lol. yes, the combination of both really does make my eyebrows look funny.
    I will definitely search for an eye cream on my next watson's trip. haha

    Hi Lady E! lol.. thank you very much for your post. I will read it right now. :) Thank you so much for the tip on the eyebrow kit. Perhaps, I'll take a look on it.

    Im on my 2nd day palang with the celeteque. I think it will help me rehydrate my face. Let's see how it goes after sometime. lol :)
