Make Up For Ever Waterproof eye brow corrector

The hardest part of the make up for anyone's face in my opinion are the eye brows. The eye brows are crucial since they can make or break the look. The eye brows help frame the face, ugly/uneven eye brows can break the overall look no matter how good the rest of the make up is. That is why the eye brows are where I spend most time when doing make up for myself and other people. I have been eyeing Make Up For Ever's Waterproof Eye Brow Corrector for quite some time now but they always seem to be out of stock, luckily the other day, as I was having dinner in Serendra, I decided to drop by the MUFE store to check if they had some in stock. Lucky for me they did! :) Without hesitation I got one and couldn't wait to try it. :)


The shade that I chose is 0 the lightest color available.


This is a cream based eye brow corrector and when applied on skin becomes like second skin. Also did I mention that this is waterproof? Yes it is. So no more worrying about unconsciously rubbing your eyebrows and to find out that well you rubbed off too much! hehe This product applies so smoothly on your skin it looks so natural.


Here's a swatch of 0



I chose to get the lightest shade since this can also serve as a base. If i need a darker shade, I can just go over the MUFE corrector with any eye brow powder. It's always easier to darken the eyebrows instead of making them lighter. Another plus with this product is that it can also serve as eyebrow color ala MAC Brow Set. You only need a little drop to achieve perfect eyebrows so this will last you a long long time. Thus, making the hefty price of PHP1,280 definitely worth it, for its quality, longevity and usability. :)

I can't get over how hot it is here in Manila so all the more this waterproof eye brow corrector deserves a spot in your kit!


Toodles! :)

Only at Sephora Sets!

I love browsing through online beauty stores like Sephora, StrawberryNet and Beauty Crunch and just drool at all the make up. I especially drool mostly on the Sephora Site. Its too bad that they don't have a store here, but thank god too since I see that I'd probably be broke if they did. So to drool on the website is the least I can and will do. Hehe

One thing I like about Sephora are the "ONLY AT SEPHORA" sets. These are a number of products put together in one set, usually in smaller sizes than the regular retailed ones but sometimes sets have regular sized ones. What's best about sets like this are its prices! The price of the sets are usually 50-75% slashed from the value that you're getting! Definitely not bad yes? :) These are perfect gift items and for personal use. The boyfriend has gifted me at least 3 types of sets already and they are all really nice! You are definitely getting your money's worth.

Here are some of the sets right now in the Sephora website that I reckon are super duper deals:
