Maybelline Eyestudio Crayon Brow in Gray

Eyestudio Crayon Brow in Gray
Natural Brow Liner


I found a fairly good waxy brow liner in Maybelline.  This particular one is in the color GRAY and is a current favorite of mine.  As you know, locally, it is rare to find a gray liner.  Usual eyebrow liner are brown or black.  The brown is fine, but the black can turn out to be too much.

BB creams are everywhere nowadays and very popular.  For those who does not know yet, BB cream stands for Blemish Balm cream.  It is a makeup in the likes of foundation with lots of added benefit to the skin.  So in a nutshell, it is a marriage of makeup and skin care.

This is a quick review of Maybelline BB stick.

Baby Skin Pore Eraser by Maybelline

I got excited when Maybelline Philippines posted this product in their Facebook page. Oohhh I gotta have this. It's like Benefit's Porefessional but much cheaper. I really don't have a point of reference as I admittedly have not personally tried Porefessional.

When I bought this, na-cutetan ako sa packaging. It certainly doesn't feel cheap. Yung magiging proud ka na binili mo dahil lang sa packaging. Anyway, I had to ask about it sa Maybelline counter kasi it was not on display yet. Akala ko nga hindi pa available. Buti na lang meron at hindi hindi nadisappoint ang excited kong sarili.

The damage was just Php299.

I apply only this much on my face, concentrating on areas with "big pores" and with fines lines. It glides on smoothly and is easily absorbed into the skin. Your skin will feel velvety smooth and product is not sticky at all. I also find that I tend to use less BB cream when i have this on. Makeup removal is also easier. It acts like a barrier between skin and makeup so I think it's safe to say this product is a primer with the main function of minimizing pore appearance.

To quote, the packaging states:

"INSTANTLY

On contact, translucent gel melts on skin and instantly erases pores, imperfections, lines and creases. Skin looks instantly transformed into a perfect smooth canvas.

ALL DAY

Skin is shine-free, even and baby smooth. No burden to skin.

GUARANTEED.

Here's the instruction on the side of the acetate box:

INSTRUCTIONS read:

Apply all over face or on concerned areas.

Suitable for all skin tones and types.

Mistake(-)proof.

No mirror need(ed).

Does not clog pores. So light, you forget it's on.

It's 22 mL which, considering the amount I put on, I think will last me long time.

I have oily skin and this product claims to give shine-free face. It is possible when in an airconditioned room or during cool weather. It does prolong the time before my face oils up and I really enjoy this product.

Pros:

~cute packaging

~affordable dupe for Porefessional

~lightweight

~I tend to apply less BB cream

~skin feels smoother

~does minimize my pore appearance

~no smell

~makes makeup removal easier

Cons:

~does not truly erase my pores when product is used alone

I am a newbie in makeup and I do a lot of research first before indulging in makeup buying. Hope this review helps girls/guys out there looking for this kind of product to use, but ultimately I think na kelangan maalaga sa health para maganda din ang skin. Thank you for reading :)
