Advance Merry Christmas to all of you! This time I'm going to review a cheap eyebrow product that everyone should try. This eyebrow pencil is very economical. I got this in the shade Medium Brown.It is available in 3 shades: Dark Brown, Medium Brown, and Black. I bought this so that I could practice lining my brows for it to have shape. Yes I have straight archless brows. I am afraid of plucking so I just shave it every once in a while. This product, I tell you is very helpful.

It is also nice that you can buy this products in dealers since Ever Bilena is now a direct shopping brand like Avon.

Pros:
  • cheap
  • available in department stores and in dealers
  • nice light brown shade
  • has Vitamin E
Cons:
  • none!

 May contain: iron oxides (CI77491, CI77492, CI77499)

My second review this week is about this wonderful mascara from Almay. I really like its formula because it does not clump like other waterproof mascaras and it does not sting on my eyes. It contains no additional fragrance so you can only smell the actual scent of the formula. The only downside of this mascara is its brush- it has big spaces in between as you can see in the picture. It makes it hard to control and sometiomes it clumps if I'm not careful. I use a different mascara wand instead.

Pros: 
  • has Aloe and Vitamin B5
  • unscented
  • lots of product inside (some mascaras only have 8mL of product)
Cons:
  • the wand
Overall a nice mascara!

Hi everyone! Sorry I didn't get the chance to make a review last saturday. But to make it up to you I'm gonna make 2 reviews today. First is the very affordable Crayons Lipsticks!

Hi there! This time I'm going to review Avon's Anew Rejuvenate Flash Facial Revitalizing Concentrate that I am currently using.This gives a mild minty feel with each use. It has small bluish glitters. After two weeks of using it my pores became a little smaller and my skin smoother but my problem is that it also made me breakout a little which I didn't expect. The smell is also a little off. The good thing is that the product is not oily by itself and that it didn't made my skin oilier and I can use this under my liquid foundie/bb cream.

Pros:
  • not oily
  • made my pores a little smaller
Cons:
  • a little expensive
  • gave me a few pimples
  • no spf
Overall this is an okay product.
