i think it was around last year eid holiday that i noticed that miniso indonesia was finally offer makeup products at their store. i've heard that miniso sell makeup products, but the closest store to try was in singapore. at that time, there's no makeup product being sold at miniso indonesia. so when i saw them, i was excited to try them as they're cheap, but thinking about it now, it's not super duper cheap, but still is affordable. since i don't want to risk my skin, i don't buy complexion products. i decided to buy eyebrow products since i'm going through them quickly. i bought and already reviewed their 3 in 1 eyebrow pencil and powder, and this one, is a 3 in 1 but eyeliner and eyebrow pencil one. so let's see whether it's good or not.
this is the description at the back of the packaging: double tip design. fine and comfortable tip. easy application. long lasting formula. for striking eyes and beautiful eyebrows.

the product: it comes with a cardboard backing encased in a hard plastic cover. at front you can see the picture of what this product consists of. for this one, it's eyebrow pencil, eyeliner and eyebrow brush. and they also stated the shade at front. for this one, i bought the shade "brown" as i think it will suit my hair when i dye it with my favorite hair dye. at the back, there's description and ingredients list at the back. and if you're curious, although miniso is a japan brand, this eyebrow products are manufactured in china.

the color: there are basically only two shade, brown and black. the black one is basically grey and goes well with black hair. and the brown shade is quite mischieving. i thought as this is an eyebrow and eyeliner combo, i thought it would be brown eyeliner and brown eyebrow pencil. turns out it's a brown eyebrow pencil but a black eyeliner! and the brown shade has reddish tone which goes well with my newly-dyed hair.

the product and result: as stated, it has three parts. it comes in a pen shape, black body and gold cap at both ends. it doesn't look like cheap products thanks to the gold cap. the eyeliner pencil is small and has round tip, but it's creamy so it's easily blunt. and after it's blunt, it's a bit hard to draw hairlike strokes with the pencil. you have to twist the midshaft to expose the spoolie. it's quite awkward since usually most brand put the spoolie at the other end so you can hold it comfortably. since it's placed midshaft, you can only hold it by the tip, which is also where the eyebrow pencil is placed. the spoolie is also quite slim and scratchy. i like the spoolie on the other eyebrow product better since it's more bushy. this one is super scratchy. on the other end is the eyeliner. the eyeliner is a felt tip eyeliner and quite sharp. at first when i swatched it, it bleeds and it worries me that it might bleed on my eyes as well. but when i finally try it on my eyes, it doesn't bleed. i can draw my eyeliner easily. although i can't draw very thin stroked since this has felt tip. it's super black. not super matte but not that glossy either. the lasting power is decent. it works as well as my usual japan eyeliner.

i do like the eyeliner tip as it works well, it's beginner friendly as well. but i don't like the spoolie and the eyebrow pencil. i like the other type better, the one that has slanted tip and bushy spoolie. the shade is great for my current hair color. but if you have dark brown hair, you might not like this as this has reddish undertone. i think if you have red-brown hair, this will suit you better. and the pencil is not easy to draw with if you like hairlike strokes. but it works okay if you don't have specific way to draw your eyebrow. if i have to pick, i will get the other eyebrow combo and just buy their eyeliner. as for the price, i thought it's quite affordable, but then i remember la girl eyebrow pencil which is half the price of this eyebrow product. so, if you go through eyebrow pencil super quick, then la girl might be your better choice then this one. i do think this is a good product for travelling as it has eyebrow and spoolie and eyeliner in one pen. but for daily use, i think i won't repurchase this one.
