Hello everyone!
I am finally back with a review from this korean haul in 2013. This time it's the eyebrown pencil from the popular South Korean brand Etude House!
Let's first take some pictures of the product! I think the design is adorable ♥
The colour is brown, so I'm sorry that it looks so dark, almost black, on the pictures! I have trouble taking pictures because as soon as I am home from school it's already dark here in the wintery Scandinavia. So please forgive me that, but it really is brown!
The pencil works kind off like a duo-pencil, the browpencil in one end and a small eyebrow brush in the other. Very perfect, but not very travelsize-friendly.
Close-up for up the pencil. Quite a decent amount of product in it! (Not only what you can see ofcourse)
Close-up of eyebrow brush.
Alright, let's try the product. Sorry for the blurryness of the first picture. My naturel eyebrow is slightly lighter than my haircolour since I trim it, it's a little messy and has no shape. I don't pluck my brows anymore, because I usually conceal the extra hairs or have my eyebrows really thick.
I am a huge fan of thick, straight korean eyebrows it gives me a young and innocent look! But I am also a fan of the arched, sexy look. So I'm gonna challenge the eyebrow pencil to both!
Naturel brow:
So I hope you get the idea even though this picture is blurry. The rest is not, so don't worry. It's light, out of shape, and no way how I like it. I put lots of focus into my brows because they do a lot for a face. Never forget your brows!
Korean-inspired straight eyebrows:
Groomed and coloured in brows. It honestly looks better without the crazy flash, but as there is no sun to see it's just not possible.
Arched brow:
I do this when I want to have a party, mature or sexy look. The straight look belongs to my everyday. I groomed them upwards instead of straight and filled them in more than my naturel brows so they look thicker.
So what do I think?
Effectivity & Colour:
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧
It's very resistant and stays all day, but not waterproof. It's gives a lovely colour and can be build up, it can be naturel as well as dramatic. The brush is super great! It's a bit harsh but perfect for grooming your brows in place. Use hairspray or browgel if you want it to stick all day, or spring it in your purse.
Price:
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
Super cheap product! But if you use it everyday it's also soon goon, but you can easily afford it, and the quality fits the price (the quality is not super, but it's perfectly average).
Texture:
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✧
I don't know how to describe this. It's a quite harsh product, yet it's softer than your typical drugstore eyebrow pencil. It's comfortable, and you don't have to drag it against your skin to get the colour from it.
Design/Packeging:
✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦
It's simple, it's duo-function, it's cute just like all Etude House-products! Would love it to have a more travel-friendly size though.
Cons:
I actually had to buy this twice, because it breaks so easily! I may have done something wrong, but each time I managed the break the pencil, it would fall out and be useless. But that's really all I can think of. 5 stars to Etude House!
That's all for this review, thanks for reading!
