Benefit Brow Waxing

Hi there! I hope you are still there... Thank God I am back to blogging, besides that I was so busy with work, I encountered a problem uploading pics here in my blogpspot account. But hell yeah I'm back and as promised, I will share with you my Benefit brow waxing experience. I actually wanted to try this for so long and I finally decided while I need to groom my brows for my sister's recent wedding. 

I went to Benefit cosmetics at Rustan's Makati and here's my first brow waxing experience.

Upon entering Benefit, the staffs were very accommodating and friendly. The brow technician (my term for it hehe) assisted me to the waxing station and prepared the necessary tools needed.

They use the best quality of wax, some brush, tweezers, wax strip, etc which were all hygienic.

First of, the brow technician cleaned my brow area and drew the right brow shape in accordance to my preference and face.

Of course, using the well known Benefit Brow product!

Drawing the right brown shape on me...

 Now it's time to strip off the unwanted hairs... Am I ready???? Yes , No , Yes, anyway I don't have any choice anymore but let's do it! Strip it! :)

After fully stripping the unwanted brows, my brow technician brushed the brows and cut the excess by brushing up the brows and cutting the excess. The same concept when doing your own brows.

And the last procedure, making sure that the brows are fully groomed she then plucked the excess but it seemed that I didn't feel this so I guess she just need to pluck a few.

My Verdict:

What I like about the experience

• It does not hurt as threading
• It really grooms the brows beautifully
• I feel my brow area so clean and soft
• Benefit use the best tolls
• The brow technician was trained enough and properly

What I don't like with the experience

• It a little expensive at 700 pesos (but during the time of visit I didn't know that it was actually on promo so I only paid for 500 pesos)
• It takes a longer period of time than brow threading
• We did the process publicly so I can have audience ( I prefer sana if they have it inside or just a small room)

But over all I love it! In fact, there were a lot of my office mates that complemented my newly groomed brows. It's been more than 3 weeks and my brows are still fully groomed, no small stricks yet! I think for me, it will take me more than 1 month or so to have it groomed again.

I will definitely try this again but maybe depending on the occasion. But if it will take me more than 2 to 3 months of re-grooming I think this is the right brow grooming for me!

What's your experience? Share it with me!

Benefit Peek A Bright Eyes

I am on a search for the next eye make up that I need to use real soon! I really don't have enough time looking around to check all the brands but that special occasion is next week already! Panic mode! I have a lot of things that I still need to get and get done! One step at a time! Eye make up first.... 

Here are my considerations: Good brand with good QUALITY! Neutral color but not brown or black only, I want something fun, fresh and young. Have a ready paired up colors so I won't need to combine different products. Very handy and pigmented! 

So where in the world could I get this with so limited time?? Think think think.... and suddenly I have thought about Benefit! And voila! It really didn't fail me! It has the product that I need!!! Yehey! Savior! I actually saw this already when I was just window shopping in Benefit and so I was happy that this is still available! I think it has 3 different colors but with what I need I got Peek A Bright Eyes!

I super love the funky and fashionable packaging! It really give the prodcut it's own personality and it make me want to bring this anywhere due to its cuteness!

Since I have a chinita small eyes with out any crease, this product would really be great for me! I need eye products that will help me bright and open up my eyes.

In the kit, it already has eye brighter, base shadow, contour shadow and highlight shadow with 2 brushes at only 1,700 pesos! What a great deal! Thank you Benefit! And I love that it is already available at Rustan's.

The product, it also look like the box! So cute!

What's great is that it has intructions included in different languages!

 Directions how to use, and it's very easy! You just have to put the base, contour and highlight. That's it! For MUA you know that this is really easy right? By the way don't forget to blend blend blend!

I hope that they would come up a matte one so I can use it for everyday use.

I really like products that has plastics in between so that we are assured that the products we get are new stocks.

The brushes

Time for swatches, and they are really pigmented! I really believe in good quality mu! It really has a difference. With the saying, you get what you pay for.
