REVIEW: NYX Build 'Em Up Brow Powder

~AG~
Bought this NYX Build ‘Em Up Brow Powder from Target. It costs US$8 (S$11). This product is available in 8 shades. This sleek brow product comes with a felt tip applicator. The ultra fine tip fills in the brows with powder. This superfine matte powder is ideal for building full and natural-looking brows. Define your arches using the pointed and fill in any sparse areas with quick, upward strokes for a feathery-soft finish.

Powder falls out to your eyelids and under eyes area, which can get messy. But since it is a powder, it is easy to clean up. I find it is best that you draw a line on the back of your hand. Then use the powder fall out to draw your eyebrows. The pointed felt tip applicator makes the brow streaky so I have to use a spoolie to even out the powder. 

This an affordable brow product. However, it is too messy to use because of the fallout. Would not recommend NYX Build 'Em Up Brow Powder.  Would just stick to ordinary brow powder as my go-to product.

REVIEW: Physician Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum

24 hour of wear

~AG~

Bought this Physician Formula Eye Booster 2-in1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum while I was in the United States a few months ago. Target retails this eyeliner for US$9.63 (S$14). There are select Guardian stores in Singapore that carry Physician Formula products, but the pricing is not as competitive. Guardian Singapore is selling Physician Formula Eye Booster Eyeliner for S$29.90. Even when Guardian is having 20% off regular-priced items, the price of Physician Formula Eye Booster Eyeliner in Singapore is 70% more than that in the United States. The morale of the story is to ask your friends who are travelling to the States to buy it for you. 

In  Ultra Black

According to Physician Formula, this special product enhances the appearance of lashes while providing definition an eyeliner. Lash Boosting Complex targets the base of the lashes where it is most effective. The eyeliner claims to be water-resistant and smudge-resistant. After using it for over a week, I can testify that this Physician Formula Eyeliner is definitely smudge-resistant. It stayed on for well over 8 hours. It did not smudge to my lower lash line at all. The water-resistant ability of Physician Formula Eyeliner is pretty good. The Physician Formula Eye Booster eyeliner did not smudge even though I teared up while watching a sappy Korean drama. The fine tip brush of the eyeliner creates a smooth and clean look. The pigmentation of the eyeliner is better than that of Clio Kill Brush Eyeliner. The shade I bought was in Ultra Black. The eyeliner is easily removed by using a oil-based makeup remover. Two cotton pads and one cotton bud will completely remove the eyeliner.

Fine tip brush

An affordable drugstore eyeliner that I would repurchase if I were in the States or have friends travelling there. The formula is long-lasting and pigmented. I cannot comment on the lash boosting properties, since my lashes are just as sparse. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about Physician Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum.

I have used this mascara ages ago, and I remember being quite fond of it. Decided to buy it again to try it. You cannot go wrong, it was only US$7.99 from Walmart. I chose the waterproof formula because I have serious issues with mascara smudging. I will let you readers know when I start using it :)
