one thing that i think i will never buy is eyebrow pencil. since i have pretty bushy eyebrow. but lately, i was bored, and last time, when i got my makeup done for my graduation, the makeup artist managed not to tweeze all my brows, just shaped it and then fill the gap with brow pencil. and i saw my brows got defined a little bit. and somehow i liked it. well, my husband believed that my craving toward makeup grows since i was pregnant with a baby girl, and he told me that the superstition about having a baby girl make the mother became more beautiful is true. well, i do hope it's because i'm taking care of my skin better than before.. not just because of the pregnancy hormone.. oh well, back to my boredom, i was supposed to buy another facial cleanser since we're about running out the old one, but then, why just buy one item? so i searched for something else. since at that time i've already bought my roseroseshop haul, so i can't buy any skincare, so makeup it is. and since i've bought most my makeup wish list on preorderlair, the only item i haven't bought is eyebrow pencil.
at first i was going to buy the etude one, but i read somewhere that it was going to be discontinued, so why bother? and the seller mentioned that faceshop has similar eyebrow pencil.. so i decided to buy the faceshop.
this is the description from their international website: a smart triangular automatic eyebrow pencil that you can adjust the angle to make the inner eyebrows thick and the outer part thin. a triangular shape automatic eyebrow pencil that you can adjust the angle to create any shape you want. a more modern and simple design. a trendy design that can appeal to young consumers. new formula that suits the market and makeup trend. soft texture that completely adheres to the eyebrows and more powerful long lasting abilities. a triangular shaped pencil for easier application.
from sokoglam: an eyebrow pencil that will help you achieve full and youthful brows. just twist to reveal the angled brow pencil to reshape and define your brows. simply use the spoolie to brush away harsh lines for a natural look that lasts all day.
the packaging: this is a dual automatic eyebrow pencil. the automatic pencil on one side and a spoolie brush on the other end. it's practical and easy to use. pretty useful for beginner like me.
the color: faceshop offers 5 different colors, very similar to etude's. etude has dark brown, grey brown, brown, dark grey, grey and black, while face shop has gray brown, dark brown, black brown, brown, and dark gray. i pick the black brown since the dark brown is out of stock.. though i like how black brown looks like on me, i still want to order dark brown next time. it's easy to make the color shown.
the lasting power: yes, it lasts for a very long time. though when i first applied it, it's easily removed by smudging it.. hmm.. perhaps tomorrow i'll try to scratch it after it's being set..
overall, i'm satisfied with my first trial.. though i still have to learn to balance my right and left eyebrow. but with this eyebrow pencil, it's easier to learn how to fill in my eyebrow gap and to soften the harsh lines with the spoolie brush. for you who loves etude eyebrow pencil but finding hard time to find it nowadays, probably this one can be your new favorite eyebrow pencil. and if you're a beginner like me and have no idea where to start, getting this an eyebrow pencil might be a good start.
