Hi guys,

As you might know that eyebrows are the most important feature of one’s face. It totally changes your looks and has the most dominant impact. So,today I’m going to review Benefit Ready, Set, Brow! It is a clear brow gel which helps your eyebrow hair to stay in place. Continue reading to know how the product is!

Price: MRP 1800 (approx)/ $24

How To Use: Brush on to brows. Wear alone or to set other brow products.

Claims: Get set for budge-proof brows. This invisible shaping and setting gel holds brow hairs in place and locks on makeup so brows don’t pull a disappearing act. 24-hour staying power,flexible,flake-free formula.Easy to apply,quick to dry. It has custom-molded wand coats from root to tip, shapes and defines.

Ingredients:

Packaging & Texture:

The packaging of the product is really quirky. The carton in which the product comes is peachish-pink in colour and has an animated design and a quirky character is drawn on it which attracts everyone’s attention. The actual product has a silver body which is of plastic. I would have appreciated if it was of metal as it is a high-end brand but nonetheless it is easy to use and convenient. The texture of this product is gooey and gel like. It is not too thick
which means it doesn’t feel heavy on the brows. All in all, the texture is pretty good.

Experience:

I’ve had a good time with this product. Although, I do not have much stray brow hair but I use this occasionally to set me brows or when I’m going for a really glam party. I really like the shape of the wand. It helps me in coating the brows properly and I can shape the tail of my brows perfectly. The gel dries quickly after applying and doesn’t flake off. It doesn’t make your eyebrow hair hard or stiff which many other eyebrow gels tend to do. When it comes to its staying power, I have to say that it’s quite good. It does make your eyebrow hair stay in place for 24 hours.

Although, the product does disappear a little bit as time passes by but it does a pretty good job and make the hair stay in place. The gel also comes off easily with a makeup remover, so do not worry about that. I’ll prefer a waterproof makeup remover so there is no damage to the brows while removing the product and also the product doesn’t pluck out your eyebrows or make them shed

Pros:

● Stays for 24 hrs
● Doesn't flake off
● Dries quickly
● Doesn’t damage eyebrows
● Doesn’t make eyebrows hard or stiff
● Eyebrows can be easily shaped
● Easy to use
● Travel friendly
● Shape of wand helps in shaping brows

Cons:
● Expensive
● Available only on sephora

Rating: 4/5

Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12 Hr. Wear Waterproof My Boyfriend’s Jeans Review, Swatches

Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12 Hr. Wear Waterproof My Boyfriend’s Jeans Review, Swatches

By Pallavi

Hii Girlies,

When any of the international clothing or makeup brand gets launched in India, it becomes a gala time for all of us makeup and fashion lovers. So, you can imagine the level of excitement when Sephora launched it’s first store in Delhi. I heard someone referring that it was like a “Sabzi Mandi” for makeup enthusiasts. Yes, the crowd was crazy and the excitement knew no bounds. I was also very thrilled by the opening of Sephora but I anyhow controlled myself and decided to check the place some days later or may be some weeks later. So, after 2 weeks I visited the place and I couldn’t stop myself. It was really fun to see brands like NYX, Burt Bees and many more there. I was really tempted for some of them but 1 product out of the entire lot there was really special for me. I couldn’t wait to lay my hands on the Sephora eye pencils. I have heard a lot of praises about them and I was dying to try them. So, I bought the and here follows the review of the same.

Product Claims : A Contouring eye pencil for a big, beautiful look that lasts up to 12 hours. Enhance and enliven your eyes with bold, long – wearing color of these eye pencils. The silky formula is resistant to water, heat and humidity up to 12 hours of smudge less wear.

Price : Rs. 890

My Experience:

Packaging wise most of the Kajal pencils are just same. They come in pencil shape which is really sleek and slim. It has black body with the electric blue cap at the top. There are some details enclosed on the body of the pencil which I really appreciate. The pencil can be easily fit inside your pocket and thus extremely travel friendly. You need to sharpen the pencil every now and then which of course leads to product wastage.

Coming to the formula of this Kajal is has a very smooth tip. It glides on the eyes also very easily and smoothly. It is very soft on eyes and even sensitive eyes would not feel any irritation. I wear lens on regular basis but I didn’t feel nay irritation or burning sensation in my eyes. It is extremely comfortable.

Coming to the shade which is aptly named as “My Boyfriend’s Jeans Electric Blue” of this Kajal and it is true to it’s name. It is more of a neon blue which is a fun and peppy shade. It is a perfect summer shade and will add glamour and style to your look and entire personality. It is bright and thus is a perfect day time color. But if you want to wear it in night then it will look Fab with monochrome or black outfits.

I apply this eyeliner on both of my upper and lower lash lines. I begin by sharpening the kajal at the tip and then apply it both the upper and lower or water line. After applying it, I let it set for about 5 minutes or so and then I am good to go.

Coming to the staying power of this Kajal is stays on me entire day long. I apply it in the morning at around 9 A.M. and till 7 P.M. it is very much visible and intact. The Kajal does not smudge or fades on the upper line.

But the story is entirely different on the lower lash line. It smudges on the sides and even fades a bit. So, I stick to applying the Kajal only on the upper line at present.
