Long-lasting Eyebrow Liner for Newbies

Over the holidays, I tried signing up on this new review site, Try and Review. So it's a site where you sign up to review products. Package will be delivered to you and you just have to try and submit a review. Easy-peasy. 

I signed up to review the Define and Blend brow pencil of Maybelline. Yes, I am going to review a beauty product. I still don't associate myself as kikay, however I do believe #kilayislife. So anyway, I got the product on the first week of 2019, albeit signing up around mid-December. 

Another great product from Maybelline! 

Upon receiving the package, I immediately noticed it was light. Literal na magaan, mga mumsh. That's a good sign for me since I can control the pressure when I apply it on myself.

But wait, there's more.

I did try applying it on. It was soooooo easy. However, I had to repeat some strokes since I found it too light on my skin. Baka sumobra lang ang moisturizer ko at naging oily na ako kaya ayaw kumapit. Will get back on that again next week.

The application was so easy. It was one of its product features anyway. Newbies and people who are scared of doing their brows will find this product perfect. It doesn't smudge easily, so when you overdo it, easy clean-up pa rin.

Price was okay for me. Eyebrow liners/pencils are something I don't usually splurge on. So I usually look for stuff that's below Php300. This product in particular is very pasok sa banga at Php249. How long it's going to last in my kit will be another post perhaps. 

This product is something I'd recommend. Easy to apply, keeps your brow natural-looking and affordable. With that I'd give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Shameless selfie.

In case you're wondering, here's the review I posted in the site. Look for it and rate it useful. (Please, pretty please with cherry on top.)

A lightweight brow liner that's so easy to apply! Perfect for newbies and women on the go, the application took me less than five minutes. There's nothing to be scared of, if you're not used to brow liners, this one's really easy to use. I mentioned it's lightweight - very easy to control the pressure of your hand when applying the product. The price is just right and totally worth it.

I'm a Fabulous Filipina.

I've been blogging ever since I was in high school.

I've been writing down thoughts that scream at me in the middle of the night for as long as I remember.

I've been online for more than ten years now.


I had a nice "me" time for a few hours. My thoughts raced and I can't help but wonder if there's anything bigger to this whole blogging thing than venting out online.

And then I remembered I am part of Fabulous Filipinas. Fabulous Filipinas was made to give, well, Filipinas a fabulous online presence and to debunk the Filipina cybermyth:

What is the Filipina cybermyth? It's the myth that Filipinas are available online to purchase and then serve male fantasies and desires and also that Filipinas can only thrive and uplift themselves by catering to such male whims. When doing a search on “Filipina” at search engines, mostly mail-order-bride sites and porn sites come up. Another example too is exhibited right here on these pages by the advertising spaces---look at the google ads, i've been using filters to keep out the smutty sites, but at the same time I still can't filter out all the dating sites! But the mail-order-brides and other women looking for matches via correspondence compose only a small percentage of what Filipinas really do with their lives. We are loving mothers and daughters too! We are diligent and persevering and we work in every sector and field. We are leaders and we contribute to society and to our families and communities! How bad does this myth affect Filipinas? There are many stories that tell of this myth, the stories in my pinay.com page Oops is just one of them.

The reason I joined? I hate labels because it limits you to that.

I'm a Filipina. And I am not a mail-order-bride. A Filipina can be a mom, a sister, a friend, a partner, a lawyer, a chef, a doctor, a volunteer, a fitness instructor. A Filipina can be a boss, a president, a superhero, a wife, a confidante, a writer. As a Filipina you can be pretty, talented, loving, awesome, cool, passionate, role model. A Filipina can be anything but a sex object that these dating sites claim we are.

We're more than that.

Stand proud Pinay. You're fabulous.
