What is it?

The new Eyebrow Cake Powder includes two shades of powder and wax. The powder shadows fill in and define brows while the wax holds them. Shades can also be blended for a natural match. Each kit includes a slanted brush for precise application and a round wand to shape and style brows *new description for it's new form*

My review:

First, I really hate the packaging. The transparent plastic cover is fragile. I accidentally broke it when I opened it.

The good things about this product are: 1. It is unscented, 2. The powder shadows have enough pigments, 3. It comes with 2 functional mini brushes ( I really love the slanted brush! It makes the application easier).

I bought the product at the official NYX counter in MKG. The SA girl was quite an idiot. She didn't understand about the product at all. I asked her about the gray powder shadow ( since I don't want to have gray brows, and she said that I could use the gray as eyeshadow while the description on the web is quite clear, "Shades can also be blended for a natural match". Girl, please... Pay attention to stuffs you sell!).

The mini brushes are very easy to use. The round brush used to refine brows shape and the slanted brush used to apply the powder shadows.

I only need small amount of the powder shadow to fill in my brows.













Price:

Around 65.000 IDR

Overall Rating:

4 out of 5. The only turn-off is the packaging.

Will I re-purchase:

Not sure. I'm considering a pencil eyebrow by now. For easier application
