Makeup Haul (Eyebrows)♡


So I ordered some stuff online recently, so I thought I'd do a little haul! They are Asian beauty products and I was excited to give them a try. :)


First I'll start with Holika Holika's Wonder Drawing 24hr Eyebrow Pencil.
I got it in Light Brown!


My favorite thing about this brow pencil is the flat, angled shape of the applicator. It makes it so much easier to fill in your brows with little strokes at a time and make it seem more natural looking.
The spoolie is very soft. So depending on your preference, is whether you'll like it or not. Personally, I prefer harder spoolies for better blending!


My eyebrows are normally thick and pitch black, but with my lighter hair I've been needing to lighten up my eyebrows. I thought this did a very good job at that!


My next product is Color My Brows by Etude House.
I have it in #02 Light Brown.


The applicator is small and easy to apply to your eyebrows. Up close, it didn't look like much has changed, but you can tell from farther away that your hair has lightened a bit. (If you chose a lighter color than your actual eyebrows) Not only does it lighten it more but it also sets your eyebrows to last longer!


The rest are just samples I got from Etude House. Excited to try these out soon, but I normally save my samples for special occasions or one of my very important 'spa days'!


Hope you enjoyed this post and maybe can try out some of these products yourself!
Eyebrows are my #1 MUST when I do my makeup, what's yours?
Thanks for reading!~ Love ya~

Maybelline 'The Nudes' Palette♡


I picked up this little palette after really liking the colors in it and wanted to give it a try! I thought it'd be a good neutral palette for the summer!


It's a little messy because I've been trying it out, but I like it. It's not very pigmented unless you use eyeshadow primer! But since I wanted it for everyday, (more natural looking) I don't use primer unless I'm going somewhere at night!


Here's the swatches!

Until next time~ ^.^

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream Review♡



I decided to pick up this BB cream so I could have light coverage as well as some protection from the sun this summer. I'm definitely not a BB cream expert or anything by no means, but have been really loving this!

If you're like me and don't like to wear a lot of makeup all the time, BB cream is a good option to think about. Not only will your complexion look better but it's not super heavy or harsh for your skin. Try out different BB creams until you find the right one for you! Everyone is different and what works for someone might not work out for you. So keep trying until you find 'the one'!

Enhances skin with eight benefits.
1. Blurs imperfections
2. Enhances
3. Brightens
4. Adjusts to skin-tone
5. Smoothes
6. Hydrates
7. SPF 30 protects
8. 0% oils and other heavy ingredients

What I really like about this one is that it truly looks like a light coverage foundation without feeling like one. It feels very light and comfortable on my skin. Makes my skin tone evener. (I use light/medium sheer tint) I also felt like it was the perfect color for my face. So maybe it did adjust!

It was a bit shiny though for my taste. I added a little bit of powder on top, and it just made it seem like it'll stay longer too. Goes on easily. The only downer is I have very sensitive eyes, and I like to put foundation on my eye lids, and it sometimes has a slight sting when I first put it there. (Not always) I think it depends how sensitive my eyes are that day.

Hope you enjoyed!! Until next time~
