Benefit Brow Workshop and new product alert

I signed up for Benefit's Brow workshop last week and went to Avenue K for the class.




Their brow expert went through all the necessary steps for doing your eyebrows. It was a pretty personal one was they went through the different steps/actions required suited for your own eyebrows. They also went through the steps one by one and you are following them along the way using all Benefit products.




Here are the steps;

1. Primer

For someone with barely there brows, I definately need to prime my brows!


2. Drawing the brows

You need to map your brows as follows;


Make 3 marks to shape your brows using the Goof Proof pencil.





3. Gimme brow

This is to further fill in your brows. For someone with sparse brows, you should back comb the brows so that more fibres stick to the hairs so that it seems fuller.


4. High brow

Lastly using high brow, draw below and above the brows and blend.


Tada! Here is my brows on fleek after the class.

Thank you

New product alert

After the workshop, I walked around Sephora and noticed this item.



Basically it's a combination of two eyeshadows and there are 3 combos in this pallette.



The pallette comes with this ball sweeper and basically you sweep across the combo using the toll and then sweep it across your eyelids. See instructions below!




Auto eyeshadow application in one sweep! Love it!! Especially for someone who is always looking for shortcuts during application! WIN!

Benefit Gimme Brow and Ready, Set, Brow Deluxe Samples

Have you tried the new Benefit brow line?
I managed to get my hands on 2 deluxe samples and these are the Gimme Brow and Ready, Set, Brow ("RSB").

I received Gimme Brow free from purchasing Elle's magazine while the RSB was received from Benefit counter after filling in a survey.



Here are the swatches;

Top : Ready, Set, Brow (clear)
Bottom: Gimme Brow in shade 5

RSB is more of a setting gel to be applied after you have filled in your brows. So for someone who has sparse barely there brows, I feel that this is redundant.

Gimme Brow would be the star product for me. It quickly fills the brows and shapes it somewhat. It's not as precise as using a pencil but it's perfect for me coz I can fill my brows with a few sweeps of the brush on the brows. The only complain I have is that the brush is a bit prickly and hard. I wished it was softer. Would definitely purchase the full size of this but in a lighter shade (perhaps 4).

Which one is your fave?

Sephora Black Sale Card Haul

Every year, I jump with glee when I get the email from Sephora informing that the member's sale is ON. This is where the whole storewide is at 20% off. So each time I get sucked into buying something, anything! Hehe

On the Friday, I went into Sephora KLCC and it was like a "pasar"! So many people and the queue was long! So I opted to shop online instead. No queues but I had to patiently wait for the arrival of my goodies which came 3 days later.

So check out my haul!


1. Mascara cos my eyelashes are non existent! I just realised that for the past 3 sales, I bought mascaras!


2. Lipliner coz my lipstick always "bleeds"
I am loving the Marc Jacobs packaging!


3. Bought another mascara which was the Benefit Roller Lash (deluxe mini).
I have been dying to try this and it is pretty awesome.


Did you get anything??

New Benefit Cosmetics Brow line

Got an email from Benefit Cosmetics and they will be launching their newly revamp brow products!
I have non existent brows, so I am always on the look out for brow products. And most of the time my brows are definately sisters from 2 different mothers (ie senget and tak sama!).

Super excited for their release!! They have changed their packaging as well. Now it's silver and it's more sleek and modern. Check it out below!!

This my top 3 (not in any order)

Gimme Brow

I have used this before and it's perfect for sparse brows. But you tend to have shaped brows prior to applying this though.


Brow pencil

I am loving the flat and slanted pencil end! This would make drawing much easier!

 Ka-Brow

This looks like your brow powder and brush all in the same pot! I think it's brilliant to put these two together!

So i can't wait to get my hand on these!! They will be released on 24th June!! So long to wait!!

This is me testing out the Zoeva Petit Crease brush.

Makeup brushes

Arrived early at the office this morning and decided to clean my brushes.
You see most of my make up and brushes are here at the office. I come in hair half dry and no make up on. I simply do not have the time to do anything else apart from shower-pray-put on clothes-put on toner,serum, moisturiser and sun block.
Everything else has to be done at the office.

So today I cleaned all my brushes.

I love this brush cleaner. However some people say that it makes the bristles slighter harder after but I think it's fine.

Before
This is my all over the face setting brush so it's not as dirty as my stippling brush.
The way I clean it is that I would put the brush cleaner liquid on the brush and also on the tissue paper. Then I would flick/stroke it back and forth. Jgn tonyoh coz that'll just ruin it!
Tadaa! After..all nice and clean.





Here are all the my brushes all nice and clean.


Today's make up

  • Benefit Porefessional
  • Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow in Champagne
  • Benefit Fake Up
  • Benefit Bella Bamba blusher
  • Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in Raisin
  • Estee Lauder lipstick in no 26 Nectarine
  • Benefit Bad Lash mascara - I love how I can just layer the mascara to make it look thicker and longer without clumping
  • Maybelline Hyper Sharp Liner
Today I decided to put on some eyeliner hence the slightly bigger eyes.

Have a nice day everyone!

Ps: the maid came back last night
