REVISITED | NYX Eyebrow Gel in Brunette Review
September 16, 2014
I have the perfect set of brows! Well, that’s just me
dreaming, lol. I’m always dreaming of perfect brows eversince I developed
liking on makeup. However, in my case, it took me years to finally find the
perfect shape for myself. The way to even tame and shape them was another
story.
So I would probably skip taking my blush with me but not my
eyebrow tools. That’s how sacred my brow relationship is. A well-groomed and
shaped eyebrows can really make a difference in your face. I tried tons to be
honest from pencils to powders. But since I do sweat heavily during summer and
maybe less during rainy days but powders or pencils even set with brow mascara
tend to disappear on my face after sometime.
And so I was originally eyeing on Makeup Forever (MUFE) Aqua Brow, but then rumor has it that there is a dupe out
there from a brand called NYX. I’ve had success with other NYX products long
before they opened their very first store here in the Philippines. Then one day while browsing at online makeup
store called Digital Traincase, I spotted that they
now have the NYX Eyebrow Gel. Also, Digital Traincase ships really fast like
they always do (I bought stuff from them few years ago).
Now ladies, you know the drill: I must get my hands on it.
This retails for Php 380.00 if you go to their website plus shipping fee (SF).

some information I picked up from their site.

After trying this product at once, I instantly fell in love
with it. I am using the shade Brunette and while it is not an exact match for
my colored hair, I prefer this over the Blonde shade which I also purchased
after a week. You don’t really need a lot, just squeeze a very small amount
either from the tube or put some in your
hands. It blends to your brow hairs really nice and looks natural on me.
If you
are just starting to get to know your brows, I’d say this can be tricky to
apply as it dries quickly but you’ll have enough time to blend them,
believe me.
I also think the packaging is genius because it is sanitary
not to double dip your tools if you know what I mean. It lasts a really long
time, I’d say eight (8) hours even with
my sweaty and combination face. That’s just super duper fantastic!
I don’t see any cons on this product to be honest. I think I
found my HG eyebrow product!
Overall Rating:
5 Lipsticks
Buy Again: Yes! Yes! Yes!
How are your brows? I hope you get to give them more love
with the NYX Brow Gel.
Love,
