YBF Automatic Eye Brow Pencil

Haven't brows become so important for a finished makeup look? I'll admit that in the past, I never used brow products, I just didn't think it was necessary. Sure I tweezed them, but didn't groom them or fill them in.

 Time has certainly changed my makeup routine. I now like to fill in my sparse brows, or I just don't look finished. For a while I had been content using eye shadow, which works great, but when I had bought the YBF Beauty Case, there was a brow pencil included.

 Taken from the TVSN website- "Automatic dual ended pencil with brush offers personalized colour for natural looking, perfectly groomed brows. The universal taupe shade changes depending on the  pressure you apply. The pencil never needs sharpening and allows for those short, feathery strokes that makeup artists insist on to keep brows looking natural and well groomed. "
The pencil is, well, a pencil :)

One end is for filling in the brows.
And the other contains a spoolie for grooming.
Here's 4 of the many shades that change depending on the amount of pressure used.

Before I even used the brow pencil, I was won over by the fact that I don't ever need to sharpen, just a simple twist allows more of the pencil to be revealed. Also, no need to decide what shade to buy, this pencil works for everyone!

During use, it is best to start with a light hand, then continue with the feathered strokes until you reach your desired shade. Mind you, since I've been using this pencil for a while now, I pretty much know how much pressure I need to use to get my desired colour.

The pencil itself is creamy, yet not too soft. This makes for ease of use, making sure that you are in control of the product. Having the spoolie in the other end of the pencil is so handy, especially for travel. 

Now, I'm no expert on brow product, I haven't used many, but the YBF Automatic Brow Pencil is fantastic. It says a lot when even a novice like I can use it! :)

What brow product are you loving?

    Lol, great post 'the pencil is, well, a pencil' lolol. Ive always wondered whether this throws too much warmth, in spite of my ranga-ness, my brows are dark brown, do you think the pencil could be used for dark brown brows, or would it throw too much warmth? Thank you! Xo

      I just love to state the obvious, hahaha. Although I'm warm toned, my brows are on the cooler side of brown, and I find this pencil to work perfectly xx

    I too never paid any attention to my brows besides shaping and the very occasional tint until earlier this year. Now, I feel like I can't go out in public without filling them in! I am using an eyeshadow at the moment but have used a Maybelline brow pencil that I wasn't really a fan of. I like the idea of getting more pigment by pressing harder and the no-sharpen factor is a huge plus!

      I'm the same! Even on no makeup days, if I'm going anywhere I at least need to do my brows, and a coat of mascara. I really hate having to sharpen makeup pencils, so being retractable certainly adds to the appeal xx

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
