NYX TAME AND FRAME TINTED BROW POMADE - BRUNETTE

MAKEUP REVIEW TIMEEE....

NYX TAME & FRAME BROW POMADE

"Give extra life to your brows with our easy-to-use brow pomade that glides onto skin and hair. Our smudge-proof, waterproof formula comes in five shades to coax brows into prime shape. Stand up to humidity in style!"

0.18 oz

my shade is : BRUNETTE

I read that this is the dupe for ANASTASIA dipbrow pomade (US$18).. well since i never use anastasia i cannot comment on that..
I got this for the price US$ 6.99 (+shipping and other fee to Indonesia would be around IDR 120.000), for the price i know for sure this is cheaper than Anastasia, I was a beginner for using this kind of brow product so this will be my review / first impression too... I was a bit scared at first, i was afraid that my brow would look weird or maybe too bold, cause i want my brow still looking natural.

Before and After

the product comes in a little plastic jar, Consistency is gel-cream-like but a bit chalky, and for the pigmentation umm.. it's just OK.. available in 5 shades.

i have sparse and very thin eyebrow and I applied this with masami shouko angled brush.
the product is a lil bit hard to work with, especially when I tried to add another layer, it's just kinda remove the color (especially when it already set) and my brow seems to hard to get even.
i spent longer time (which is something i don't have) just fixing my brow in the morning and i end up using my eyeshadow or my eyebrow pencil to fill in again.

as for the longevity, it last up to 9 hours without smudging (though i rarely or never touch my brow after i done with it)

my brow manage to look natural and not overly done (as long as i wasn't picking up too much product though), but the amount of time spending making it was too much, yet i guess that's me lack of practice.

this is me after 10 hours using NYX tame & frame, i don't do the instagram kinda brow, this is just my own preference on how i like my brow to look, even though it's not perfect well hell i'm still learning.
you can see the uneven part on each brow and around this time the brow actually faded jussstt a lil bit.. don't forget that i sweat a lot and i have combination skin  (that includes the brow area get a bit oily after few hours)

sorry for the weird expression

PLUS
+ waterproof
+ long lasting
+ smudge-proof
+ Affordable
+ the color suits me well

MINUS
- a bit CHALKY and Hard to blend (especially when it already set).. **you can see at my picture above**
- not available in indonesia (yet)

bottom line.. i like that it smudgeproof, waterproof and long lasting.. i don't have to worry about my brow disappeared when I'm sweating (i sweat a lot because it's summer, well it feels like summer everyday here in Jakarta, but now it seem to be hotter than usual.....), for the price i say it does the job pretty good.
For you who wants to try what's eyebrow gel like but don't wanna spend too much money on it, i guess this can be a good alternative.

i'm still mastering on how to apply this... pls tell me if you have any suggestion..

thanks for reading

XOXO

REVIEW - MIZZU EYELINER PEN black and brown

Are you an eyeliner rookie ? Then you have to try this...

MIZZU EYELINER PEN - Made in Indonesia
Currently available in 2 shade black and brown

Produced and distributed by :
PT. ASTORIA PRIMA

What they said on the packaging :

Mizzu present the latest trend in eyeliner pen. It is easy to use and glides smoothly to color. Form super sharp and thin lines. No mess and no smudge. Easy to carry around.

Takes 30 seconds to dry for maximum waterproof effect.

Ingredients :

comes in a sleek plastic packaging... loved the design.

The pen itself has it own seal ♥ so you know it's really new

The pen tip is not too hard nor too soft.. just prefect... but for me i wish it was a bit smaller,  i think for beginners this is perfect eyeliner pen.

Left (black) Right (brown).. the difference was not too noticeable after i applied it on skin.

Above : rub it a few times after 30secs (still good.. yay!!)
Below : sprinkle some water (the color wears off... :( )

This is what happened when i rub it after sprinkle some water on the eyeliner.

Pros :
- very affordable, i got mine around IDR 20.000 each on online store
- smudge proof as long as you stay away from water
- on me it last quite a while (w/ primer) up to 6 hours
- easy to apply
- efficient and easy to carry
- perfect for beginners
- very easy to clean

Cons :
- not waterproof
- i only find it on online store only
- i don't think this is suitable for oily lid (i recommend using primer before)
- the brown color seem to have better staying power than the black one


I believe MIZZU come up with mascara too.

Have you tried this?
