Givenchy Eyebrow Pencil, Mister Brow Filler Brunette Review, Swatches, FOTD

Hi guys,

I have always had full eyebrows except the in between phase when you go to some other salon and the lady over threads and makes them super thin :/

I never used to fill my eyebrows but I have been doing it since almost 1-1.5 years now and I am obsessed. They completely change the way your face looks and makes your face look more polished and defined. Thick eyebrows also make one look younger 😀

I have been using these two brow products from Givenchy since about a week now and I am in love! From the very first use, I absolutely loved these!

Givenchy Eyebrow Pencil Brunette

What it is: A powdery matte-finish eyebrow pencil

What it does: This pencil offers precise and natural brow definition. Perfect application is guaranteed with an ultra-slim, gliding tip for perfectly defined brows. The formula, developed using talc and intense pigments, leaves a powdery matte finish, and the easy-to-apply texture creates immediate payoff. The pencil also features a brow brush on the opposite end for an all-in-one brow tool.

What it is formulated WITHOUT: Parabens

Shades Available:
01 Brunette
02 Blonde
03 Dark Brunette

Suggested Usage:
-Brush brows to reveal their natural shape.
-Use the brow pencil to define the edges and fill in for a natural look.

MRP: Rs.1975/- for 1.1g

It is a long and sleek sharpenable eyebrow pencil with a spoolie brush on one side. It also comes with a sharpener. I love eyebrow pencils which come with a spoolie brush as they are travel friendly and very handy. You just need one pencil to carry along for your brows whenever you are travelling.

The pencil is super pigmented. I was amazed by the pigmentation, just a single, light handed stroke also gives a lot of color. So use it with light hands and make sure you soften the lines with the spoolie brush coz you can easily over fill with this and also without blending in, the color would look harsh.

It is slightly waxy and glides on very easily, it settles to a matte finish. So there is no extra creaminess and it doesn’t bleed all around the eyebrows. The texture is absolutely perfect.

The eyebrows stay in place whole day. I love how easy and quick it is to use, as with most pencils I have to go over quite a few times to fill them. With this, I am just done in one stoke and one brushing!

Since I just need one stroke and hardly use any product, I haven’t even had to sharpen it yet. This will last me really long! Even though it may seem expensive, this would last for a long time, making it very economical for the quality.

I am only using this since the time I have got it and I think I am pretty much sticking to this 😀 I can say, this is by far the best eyebrow pencil I have tried! Highly recommended!

Givenchy Mister Brow Filler Tinted Waterproof Brow Filler

What it is: A gel brow filler that dries into a natural powder finish.

What it does: For perfectly natural-looking brows, Mister Brow Filler fills in any sparse areas and flawlessly shapes the brows. Containing hybrid silicone particles, its waterproof, liquid formula instantly dries down to a powder finish on application. It naturally and evenly highlights the brows. The innovative curved brush follows the eyebrow’s natural shape for an intuitive application that anyone can master. Its waterless texture adheres uniformly to the skin.

What it is formulated WITHOUT: Parabens

Shades Available:
01 Brunette
02 Blonde
03 Granite

Suggested Usage:
-Start from the inner corner and apply following the arch, moving toward the end.

MRP: Rs.1975/- for 5.5g

Now I am more of a eyebrow pencil person and my eyebrows don’t move around a lot, so I don’t use brow fillers. But on days when you are going for a very natural, ‘no makeup’ makeup look, I would suggest using only brow filler.

Not only it brushes and combs the brows and fill them in, but it would dry and keep the hair in place all day long! Also it is water resistant, so you can wear it even during monsoons or on a humid day.

Again, even this is very pigmented and you just need to go over once on your eyebrows. I use both when I have a long day ahead with events, etc. when I want my eyebrows to look perfect and not budge at all.

The shade Brunette in both matches me absolutely well and would work for most Indian skin tones.

Here is my Before-After using both the products..

I prefer my eyebrows natural looking, so I do not outline on top and bottom and overline them and then fill in completely like those eyebrow tutorials on Instagram 😀 (mostly on Anastasia page) I find that very fake and made up. So I have filled them in naturally, mostly towards the inner part as I have more gaps there.

FOTD..

I would suggest going with the Brow Filler if your eyebrows don’t stay in place and move around a lot and/or you are not much of an eyebrow person and want just some natural looking definition.

If you are looking for a good, pigmented eyebrow pencil which is travel friendly and you have sparse eyebrows with more gaps to fill, go for the eyebrow pencil.

If you want your eyebrows to be on fleek all the times, go for both! You will be sorted, trust me 🙂

I absolutely love both, use either or both depending on the event and day. Givenchy is available at Sephora across India and also at few Shoppers Stop outlets.

Givenchy Poudre Lumière Originelle & Le Prisme Blush Review, Swatches

Givenchy Poudre Lumière Originelle & Le Prisme Blush Review, Swatches

Givenchy launched the Poudre Lumière Originelle & Le Prisme Blush in 41 – Lune Rosée as a part of their Spring/Summer 2016 La Révélation Originelle Collection.

I have been trying out both these since the past few days and here are my thoughts on it..

Givenchy Soft Powder Radiance Enhancer

What it is: A limited-edition highlighting powder that lights up the face with a natural-looking glow while accentuating the skin’s freshness.

What it does: Poudre Lumière Originelle – Soft Powder Radiance Enhancer gives the complexion a delicate illumination. Inspired by Givenchy’s couture designs this unique highlighting powder is imprinted with a unique lace motif. Apply it generously over the entire face to create a fresh-faced glow. It can also be used on the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, the center of the chin, and the forehead to enhance the overall structure of the face.

What it is formulated WITHOUT: Parabens

What else you need to know: Nicolas Degennes tells the story of how an angelic beauty is created through the La Revelation Originelle Collection: an idea of innocence with universal vitality. The Givenchy Woman will define her own aura, like an enhancing halo to reveal her zest for life. The light of the divine, the light of the diva. This product is free of talc.

This product is free of talc.

MRP: $57 (India,Rs.5075/-) for 10g

To start with, the packaging is gorgeous! Just look at this highlighting powder and the lace motif on it. It is very, very finely milled and super smooth to touch. It comes with a mirror but no brush/applicator.

I did read a few reviews online and majority people said the lace print doesn’t allow the product to get loaded on the brush and one doesn’t get any powder or pigmentation. They scraped the lace print and loved the result with the actual powder beneath.

While I haven’t scraped the lace yet, but I do go over the powder, quite a few times, to get the desired amount on the brush.

Also it has no colour or shimmer and you won’t feel you have applied anything, untill you swirl it a few times on your face. I use it all over the face coz it is too light to be visible only on the high points of face. It is soft white in colour with a light pink sheen. I don’t think this would work for dark skin tones, coz it will look ashy, it is lighter for me too.

No glitter, no shimmer, no metallic finish, just a soft sheen which instantly makes your skin look naturally glowy. It gives a beautiful radiance to the face and it stays so throughout the day. I will surely be trying the powder, after scraping off the lace too. But this is just an all over use powder which gives a soft glow to your skin.

It is definitely very pricey and limited edition too, would not recommend it for darker skin tones or people with oily skin.

Givenchy Le Prisme Blush in 41 – Lune Rosée

Enliven your complexion with the limited edition Givenchy Le Prisme Blush in 41 – Lune Rosée, a luscious compilation of pinks and corals.

The epitome of freshness for springtime, Lune Rosée blooms to life on cheeks with its illuminating colourway featuring peach, light pink, rose pink and coral. Use each section separately for a tailored result, or swirl your brush across all four for customised colour that completes your fresh-faced spring look.

The ultra silky texture of Le Prisme Blush glides across the skin like a silken veil, caressing cheeks with its elegant look and feel. Givenchy’s exclusive powder atomising technology ensures that the powder particles are extremely fine and of identical size, ensuring a more even and intense result.

Apply to the apples of your cheeks with the included blush.

MRP: Rs.3500/- for 7g

It comes in a square black packaging and has four different blush colours i.e. peach, light pink, rose pink and coral. It also has a mirror and a brush with a brush compartment beneath. That makes it ideal for travel.

Though the colours are quite bright, they are not that pigmented and you would not go overboard with them. The most pigmented is the Coral shade.

The powder is very fine and smooth, and the blush is easy to apply. You do need to layer it 2-3 times for the colour to show though, coz they are not that pigmented. The blush though, once applied, stays on for a good 5-6 hours. I use all the colours combined usually, which gives a soft peachy coral color with some sheen.

Swatches of Blush
Blush, Blended together

There are many different colour options in Le Prisme Blush, this one in Lune Rosee is Limited Edition. I absolutely love the colours, but I do wish they were more pigmented. This is not a must have from this collection.

FOTD with the Blush and Highlighting Powder

Overall, I think the powder is quite good and do recommend it, especially if you have dry skin, but only get it if it matches your skin tone, or else it would look ashy. Not a fan of the blush coz I expected more pigmentation.

August My Envy Box Review

August My Envy Box Review

If you guys don’t know what is My Envy Box yet, go HERE.

Check out my previous months’ boxes:

MRP: Rs.850/-

This time we are back to the pink box! Yay 😀 How we love pink :p And also we have 4 new brands in the My Envy Box.

What I got in my box:

  • 2 sachets of L’Occitane En Provence Angelic Hydra Vital gel (Rs.2990/- for 50 ml)- The qty is pretty decent. I like how light weight and ultra moisturizing it is.
  • 7 ml tube of Wild Ferns (New Zealand based brand) Manuka Honey Conditioning Hand Creme (Rs.1500/- for 85ml)
  • Pefume Vial- Givenchy Play For Her (Rs 5750 for 75ml- Its a litte too strong and fruity with top notes being Orange Blossom and Pink Peppercorn
  • 20ml tube of Natio (popular Australian brand) Ageless Dual action Cleanser and Exfoliator (Rs.1010/- for 75ml)- I think its a pretty good qty and this can be my perfect travel companion. I love cleansers that exfolaite as well and are not drying or stretchy on the skin.
  • 5 ml of Epique Advanced UV Protection System (Rs 2700/- 15ml)- Switzerland based brand. I like the fact that it has SPF50. Super expensive though :/

This time there is also an additional card for a free eye makeup consultation at Givenchy.

I did not get the H2O sample this time too, whereas many others did. I would anyday prefer a bigger 20-30 ml H2O sample than a small 3-5ml sachets/tube from an international brand. I like to use the product well to judge whether it works for me, and I cannot do so, with a small sample. I did not get H2o previous month too, and a small 5ml tube. Same thing again. I would request My Envy Box to have bigger samples.

Overall, a mixed bag again. In terms of pricing it may be good, coz 1-2 products like Epique are super expensive. But I would love to try bigger sizes of not so expensive brands.
