I've been meaning to buy an eyebrow mascara but because its expensive online and I do not know which brand to buy, I waited and its been on my to buy list for quite sometime now. You see, like my mom, I'm not blessed with bushy brows or say thick eyebrows. So I've been dependent on eyebrow pencils and lately with eyebrow powders. I am curious on how a brow mascara would work and I was dreaming that it will make my eyebrow hairs thicker. So when I saw that L'oreal Philippines has released Brow Artist Chisel Straight I got excited and bought one right away!

On L'oreal's Facebook page it says this is priced at P400. When I went to Landmark Trinoma last week I was surprised to find out its only P300 - the sales associate said that is the regular price for this product.



I have been using L'oreal's eyebrow powder for a couple of months now - the genius kit, and I sooo love it! (See my seperate review for the genius kit) And I only got it for P200 from its original price of P400 because it was on sale :-) So now they are buddies!

My face bare: no eyebrow powder on, no make-up

So I decided to use this alone, Chisel straight, without any eyebrow powder on, just to see how it works and how I will look. It actually wasn't that easy to use. I applied the mascara first on the hairs of my brows, but because it wouldn't make my brows thicker than I hoped I had to rub gently the flocking tip on my eyebrows as it dries giving me an eyebrow pencil effect. If you mistakenly applied more, it would be a mess, but you have to be prepared with a spoolie brush - good thing the genius kit has one, or you can just use the mascara comb.

Me all glum looking - but at least my eyebrows are looking good here LOL

My conclusion is - I would stick to my L'oreal Brow Artist Genius Kit but then since I have this - I might have to use it on top of the genius kit for a more straighter brow tip look. I hope with regular use I'll be an expert soon!

Although I am not a fan, (I've never watched Aldub) I was surprised  and excited to see Maine Mendoza as this year's endorser of Avon's Skin So Soft lotion. I didn't watch her shows at Eat Bulaga but I like her because she is very pretty and quirky and she seems like a very nice down to earth person. So, after seeing her ad on an Avon Brochure as I said I got excited and contacted my Avon lady right away to order.




The ad on the brochure will court you and would make you like/want/order the lotion after reading its description:

I've used SSS lotions before, but I am not a fan. I do love its light floral fresh scent, so I buy a bottle once in a while. Last year, they featured Ina Raymundo on their Collagen lotion and I bought that one too.
I used it but I didn't even finish the bottle.


But this lotion is different though, Skin Whitening wise, I would say don't expect too much. I've been using the lotion for about a month now and I haven't seen any improvements yet - my skin is not fairer. Take note that I am a stay at home mom, I rarely go outside, and I use a Kojic soap as my daily bath soap.
On the other hand, I don't really mind that the lotion doesn't help a lot in whitening because this lotion is just WONDERFUL! It's just great! I can probably say for now its my HG! The 3 forever young benefits as stated are true! After a few days of using it, I felt my skin is softer, silkier to the touch and its very moisturized - I can't feel any dryness in my legs and arms when I use this. I love touching my arms its sooft! The lotion's consistency is not heavy and its good because it makes it easy to apply evenly on my skin. For now I am still using this, I am almost done with my first bottle and will order another one. This lotion is also okay to use this summer, it doesn't feel sticky and uncomfortably hot on my skin. I do not know how long I will be using this hopefully on my 2nd or 3rd bottle I'll have that white porcelain skin as promised!

Update: I am currently on my 2nd bottle. Still lovin' this lotion :-)
