What I love most from this product is its triangle shaped tip ( I'm a big fan of using angle brush to apply my old brow powder and this tip acts the same as the angle brush. Smart!).

My Review:

I bought this product mainly because my NYX's Eyebrow Cake Powder crushed when I brought it out in my cosmetic purse. I was thinking about buying a new NYX's but then, I thought it'd be best to buy an efficient product that isn't as fragile as my NYX's so I can bring it on my purse without being afraid that it would get crushed again.

So I ended up with this product. And it's not a regret.

In a single sentence, I TOTALLY LOVE THIS PRODUCT.

Starting from the packaging,

As I have mentioned above, I love the triangle shaped tip of the product ( it acts similar to an angle brush, I noticed), making it easier for me to draw my brows. And the brow brush in one packaging is also a bonus point. It's a very efficient product in one packaging, I must say. Just like what I was searching for.

Moving on to the product itself,

First, I love the color. I have black/ dark brown hair and hairy brows so it's not easy for me to find a perfect color of eyebrow pencil. I tried a brown brow pencil from a local product ( I think it's "Viva") and the color is too reddish brown for my eyebrows so I dropped it off. Then came my NYX's Eyebrow Cake Powder in "Black/Gray", it worked well, but I had to mix both of the colors to get the sharp yet natural eyebrow's color ( using black itself gave me a harsh lined eyebrows). And then came this product. The color is just perfect for my eyebrows. Not too dark, yet it looked natural. So it really works for me.

































The next good thing about this product is that it's easy to use. Despite the hard consistency of the pencil, it glides easily on my eyebrows and doesn't get clumpy or cakey, giving my brows a soft yet defined natural look.











At a closer look,











However this product is not "waterproof" as it claimed. But I don't really care since it doesn't smudge and it stays on perfectly during my outdoor hours ( around 6 hours or so) in a hot and humid weather of this capital city of Indonesia ( means sweats and etc).

My review:

Did you know that Revlon won 9 awards for 2010 Beauty Awards in Australia? *gives applause*

Getting to the point, I generally like the product. But still not enough to make me fall inlove with it.

It has a range of vibrant vivid colors selection. Very pigmented. It also has great staying power. As you can see from the picture, I rubbed it using tissue and then washed my hand twice using hand soap and it stays. The one on my lips stays on during eating and drinking for around 4 hours.

My major drawbacks about the product: it cause dryness and it requires professional tricks to get smooth lustrous result as seen on it's commercial. On my first attempt to applied it decently, I wear nothing under the lipstick and it went clumpy all over my lips. I put another layer to get it distributed evenly, but it just got thicker and looked unnatural. Plus it dries my lips so bad after I took it off from my lips. Then I tried to use some lip balm under the lipstick, brushed it evenly all over my lips using fine lip brush and it went better ( take a note, just better. Not perfect). But still, it got clumpy a little bit. It can be frustrating if you don't have much time to put make-up on or re-touching.

The first shade that I bought is Pink Pout. I thought it would looked like nude pale pink on my lips. Oh, it does look pale. So pale that I looked like a dead person. Adding the fact that the product creates no gloss or shine, it really looked dull on my lips. I really... really... hate the color. Pink About It looked better on me, though the shade is still too much vibrant to my like. I got an eye on Strawberry Suede shade, but I'm just afraid if I would hate the color just like the two I've owned.

Another tips, scrub and moisturize your lips well before using this product. The intense characteristic could magnify fine lines, dead skin cells, etc.

My Review:

I bought the product at a local supermarket without any intentional reason. Just because the price was quite cheap. To be honest, I didn't expect much from such a cheap product at first. But it surpasses all of my expectations and now is becoming one of my favorite beauty products.

The main reason why I love the product is because it is wearable at any situation, any occasion. I wear it sheer on daily basis, I wear it on top of my lipstick on special occasion, it doesn't take much time and effort to put when I'm feeling lazy to put my make up on. It glides like heaven on my lips, delivering enough moisture and sheer color pigments. It also has subtle sweet strawberry scent.

Though, the product wears off easily. It can stay on my lips up to 1-2 hours maximum if I'm not drinking or eating. So it needs to be constantly re-applied ( which is not a very big problem to me since it is so easy to be applied).

I highly doubt that this product is sold outside of Indonesia. Oh well.

- Color:

• Eternal Blossom: Frosty, shimmering pink
  
• Neverending Nude ( Timeless Nude): Solid beige

- Texture: creamy, thick, solid liquid to cream.
- Scent: Smells ( and tastes) like burnt plastic. So awful.

My Review:

This has been one of my favorite products for quite a period of time.

It has everything that it promises. Beautiful glossy colors, great pigments, and decent staying power. The only turn-off is it's strong awful plastic scent.

At first application, the formula feels thick, sticky, tacky, and heavy on my lips. But soon as it dries, the gloss lightly covered my lips and doesn't feel as sticky or heavy as it first applied.

Beware of the scent though ( as a reminder, it also tastes awful). From another reviews that I read before purchasing the product, it was said that the product could cause nausea and minor headache to some people. I, personally, have experienced it several times but not as bad as people said. If you're allergic or strongly dislike intense or chemical-ish scent, than this product is not recommended.

Talking about the staying power, this product could stay up to around 3-4 hours on my lips. When I eat or drink, the gloss fades and creates pretty natural stain. So, eating or not, drinking or not, the gloss still look pretty on my lips. I have nothing to worry about.

So far, it doesn't dry up my lips and I'm not allergic to it.

Characteristic:


















- Color: white
- Texture: solid, thick cream
- Scent: smells very awfully chemical-ish. Camphor and Mentholatum are dominant.

My Review:

First of all, the scent is such a turn-off but it was bearable after around 10 minutes or so. But if you don't like strong scent, than this is not the right product to buy.

The cream gives cooling effect when applied to my face. It feels slippery and it doesn't create foams. When it said, "apply generously", you should really apply the cream generously. Because less wouldn't work ( I always clean my face twice with this product because once is not enough).

It doesn't give me the "squeaky clean" result, but more like "moisturizing clean". So I guess it would work well for those who have dry skin.

I'm not allergic to this product. And I don't know if this is another good effect from using this product, but my skin is getting better. The breakouts seem to dry and my skin is just generally calmed.

The review is not going to be long. This is the best cleansing cream I've tried so far. Much more better than my TSF Apple Vinegar Cleansing Gel Cream.

As you can see, the cream doesn't completely remove my make-up. But I still love the product because it seems to work well on my troubled skin.
