I will be starting with my 5 DAYS Series here on my blog. Yes, I know I am not good with keeping up with this so called blog series but I am seriously trying yah know! Anyways, I will start with 5 DAYS OF LOCAL BEAUTY. I will be doing 5 product features from our very own local brands or the so called Filipino brands ( I presume the ones I will be featuring are local brands ok as far as my knowledge is concerned). Let us start with Day 1 and I will be reviewing my favorite brow product as of the moment. As in kinabog niya ang lahat ng brow products that are in my makeup stash right now. It is a spin off of the MUFE Aque Brow. I have been hearing tons of raves about this product but I just can't seem to buy myself a tube because of its hefty price tag. I can spend thousands of pesos on funda or concealer but I am a bit wary on spending much on the brows. For the record, I in the "kilay phase" for months now. I have been buying brow products here and there. Initially, I was set to pre order the NYX Brow Gel ever since the Youtube community has been advertising it like crazy. Then, I saw this baby in the department store and it only costs 399 pesos. Waahh. Panic attack mode talaga for the price! I immediately asked the SA for the testers. This brow kit comes in three shades. No. 1 and No.2 looks really nice. I really want No. 1 but it is out of stock so I just settled for No. 2.
This brow kit comes in a plastic packaging which I eventually threw away. It also has two small brushes. One looks like a fine liner brush and the other is a small angled brush
. Surprisingly, the angled brush works really really well with the brow gel. As in. I never expect the brushes to be of use at all. It applies the product on my brows precisely and fills in the sparse areas naturally. Due to its size and thinness, I can magically recreate the shape of my brows. I can make sharp arch or seemingly straight shaped brows. I remember that FS or Fashion 21 has a similar shaped brush. Thus, if ever I lost this brush I might probably get myself that as an alternative.
The consistency is slightly thicker than the NYX brow gel but it applies smoothly. I can control the intensity of the shade with the amount of product that goes into my brush, Honestly, I just need a tiny bit of this product for my brow. The color pay off as you can see it amazeballs. The picture can speak for itself. I need not exaggerate on this one. :) The color is a rich cocoa or dark wood brown that has no hint of red. It goes really well with my black hair.
Is it good? IT IS AWESOME!!!! I stopped using brow powders, pencils and wax when this product came into my life! Seriously,it does everything all brow products can do to my brows combined. So, I do not prime my brows with wax anymore, no more outlining with pen or pencil and no more filling in the brows with powder. This product alone can give me that vavavoom brows in a jiffy. Hindi naman ako exaggerated masyado noh? hehe You can actually see my brow transformation below for proof.
What I do to create beautifully drawn brows (yes, nagbuhat ako ng sariling bangko..hahaha)? With light and precise strokes, I outline my brows. Then, I intensify the shade on the arch down to the tail and to finish it off, I just use my spoolie to blend everything for a more natural look.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:
1.It is affordable. For 399 pesos, you get a decent amount of product that can last for months.
2. It is very pigmented but blendable. The color and intensity of the product can actually be controlled with the use of a spoolie for blending.
3. It dries quickly.
4. It is very easy to remove.
5. It is smudge proof and waterproof. I will probably use this on my wedding day!! Wooot!! I am building my wedding makeup stash. Any recos?hehe
6. It does not cake even when I try to reapply/retouch.
7. What I love about this is its longevity. This can last whole day on me!!! No retouching needed.. Brow wow all day long achieve na achieve!
8. I can use this even with untidy brows!!! I can shape my brows the way I want to with the use of this product. This is best used with well groomed brows to achieve that perfect arch!

WHAT I DISLIKE ABOUT THE PRODUCT:
None!! I am in love with this product and I will repurchase once I ran out.
More thoughts on this product:
1. If you have thick brows, I think you have be careful in using because this is very pigmented. I used this on a client with beautiful thick brows and I just applied it with feathery strokes as an outline more a more natural look.
2. You need a spoolie to blend the product for a more natural finish.
3. I was not actually a fan of this product on my first use. If you do not have a steady hand, then it will be very tricky to apply. I suggest that you start with a light hand as you slowly build up the color.
4. I do not know if this product dries out easily but just to be sure, please tightly screw the cap on the tube.
What do you think?Godbless!!
