So That You Can Get Your Brows Filled In 10 Seconds, Get The Lioele Artist Auto Eyebrow Pencil!

March 26, 2012 by Bun Bun 28 Comments

We can’t go running to the store or click ‘Add to cart’ every time a blogger raves about a ‘Holy Grail product, can we?

Coz if that were really the case, there would be no war in this world since all Beauty Bloggers are people with big hearts and ambassadors of all things beautiful, and the governments would employ us all to spread the message of love and world peace. Lol.

Ah, but then there’s always the lure of the dark side. And that’s why there are bad people in the world in the first place.

I took long enough to buy the Lioele auto eyebrow pencil because I was happy with my NYX Auto Eyebrow Pencil. For a softer and more natural look, I would use The Face Shop Cake Eyebrow too.

Not that I’ve become unhappy with those two excellent eyebrow products, but it’s in my blood to constantly seek change. And great change I experienced when I dyed my hair more yellow-gold and brown than my normal shades of dark brown. The NYX Auto Eyebrow Pencil was simply too brown.

My interest for the Lioele Artist Auto Eyebrow Pencil was piqued when I first watched frmheadtotoe‘s review of it, but it was my readers who got me off my butt and go get it. They were like “you’ve got to try it!”, “it’s the best eyebrow pencil ever!”, “you will love it!!”.

Upon application I immediately understood the enthusiasm of its strong following. The crux of writing this review of the Lioele Auto Eyebrow Pencil is really to tell you:

“GO GET IT!!!” :D

Flat, Angled Tip For Precision

This is how the brand new pencil end looks like – edgily sharp. It may hurt a teeny tiny little when you use it for the first time, and takes a couple of uses before the edges are rounded and feel smooth during application.

Brand new

After some time

NYX Auto Eyebrow Pencil: Cheap And Good Alternative To MAC Eyebrow Pencil

March 21, 2012 by Bun Bun 11 Comments

Before I got started on writing this NYX Automatic Eyebrow Pencil review, I went to read the MAC Automatic Eyebrow Pencil review written 11 months ago. I love reading old posts, they make me realize how much I’ve grown, how my writing style has improved, photography skills have progressed, and some throw me back to the moment when I was writing them, allowing me to relive memories.

If I had access to endless supplies of MAC products without forking out a single cent (your wish, my wish, every makeup obsessed person’s wish), I would say the MAC Eyebrow Pencil is an ideal pencil. There are about 5 shades to choose from on the MAC website (I don’t know why Brunette isn’t one of them. It’s available in MAC Singapore though), a precise tip, and since I have endless free supply to MAC products, I can simply throw one away when I twist it up too much causing the product to break.

But because the probability of that wish coming true is as good as believing that Bun Bun will become a real fairy, and my pocket and brain were telling me there must be as good and cheaper alternatives to the MAC automatic brow pencil out there, I soon found myself in possession of the NYX Auto Eyebrow Pencil.

Pigmented Brow Color

The NYX Automatic Eyebrow Pencil goes on very smoothly, much smoother than those pencils that need manual sharpening, like the Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil (another old post!).

You don’t need a lot of effort to get great color payoff, and this intense pigmentation might be a bane to some since you might have to be light-handed to avoid having dark slugs as brows at first. Once you get the hang of it though, this NYX brow pencil is a great time saver since just a few strokes are needed to alter light-colored brows to defined ones.

NYX Auto Brow Pencil has better staying power than MAC Auto Brow Pencil.

GO DRUGSTORE!!! :D

The Face Shop Face It Designing Cake Eyebrow 01 Beige Brown Gives Natural-Looking Brows!

November 15, 2011 by Bun Bun 14 Comments

Let’s face it. Even though we are amazed by all those dramatic looks we see so much nowadays, we don’t wanna look like that all the time right? Natural-looking brows FTW!

Because my brows are naturally rather dense, I prefer brow product colors that serve to soften my brow hairs which are a harsh, fierce black.

Unless the look calls for strong eyebrows to balance an equally strong look with lotsa colors, which was what I did for the Native American Inspired Look, all my brow products are in shades of brown.

At the same time, I’m happy I have the Rimmel London Professional Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown in my stash otherwise the Native American look would have looked very odd with soft brown brows. Lol.

All my other brow products are in pencil form, manual or automatic, so I got The Face Shop Face It Designing Cake Eyebrow to see how an eyebrow cake powder works.

Two shades to mix and match

I can’t even tell you the names of the individual shades because they’re all in Korean. My best guess would be that, for 01 – Beige Brown, the lighter shade can be called Dark Beige and the darker shade can be called Dark Brown.

HAHAHA! Sorry, so unimaginative. >.<

10 Mistakes Made By the Makeup Coach at the Majolica Majorca Makeup Workshop

August 14, 2011 by Bun Bun 21 Comments

Kai and I

My girl friend, Kai, invited me to be her plus-one for a Majolica Majorca Makeup Workshop that she won a contest for. I think it’s some kind exclusive arrangement with a blogshop she frequents.

I love attending courses related to beauty, there’re just so fun to be part of – you get to play with products, learn new stuff, meet new people, and get to be 100% girly.

But the best thing about it is when you can share all the above with a girl friend, in addition to freeflow giggling, laughing at the coach’s bad jokes, catching up with one another and just basking in each other’s company.

The focus of this post is not so much about Majolica Majorca’s new collection launch, rather, it is about the quality (actually, lack of) of the makeup ‘coach’ employed to represent the brand and its products.

Inarticulation, mispronouncement of product names, and bad command of the English language aside, the ‘coach’ did a pretty bad job teaching the basics of makeup.

Let’s call this ‘coach’ Mr CMI (Cannot-Make-It).

During class and on the train ride home, I jotted down the mistakes or things Mr CMI should not have said and done, or could have done better. It was a list that easily extended to 2 pages of my notebook; I had a hard time selecting which ones to include in this post.

Here are the 10 things Mr CMI did that really irked me.

(I did not take pictures of the model because I thought it’d be rude to do that without her permission. I also did not include pictures of Mr CMI in this post because… it’s just not a nice thing to do.)

MAC Automatic Eyebrow Pencil in Brunette Review

April 15, 2011 by Bun Bun Leave a Comment

After my brief episode with the Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown that made my black eyebrows appear even more fierce-looking and threw my eye makeup off-balance, I decided that since MAC is like THE standard for so many people, I should find my eyebrow antidote there.

I went to the Raffles City MAC store and was recommended Brunette, Spiked, and Stud by the MUA (makeup artist). I tried them all on my bare brows and thought Brunette looked a teeny wee bit orangey on me but the MUA insisted it suited me best. Against my better judgement, I ended up with Brunette.

So… Do I love it?
