e.l.f studio eyebrow kit review

We all know that I love e.l.f products! So it's time for another review.
I have been using this product for a while now to get the feel of how it looks and feels. (bought with own money)
I bought it from e.l.f Canada, USA, or e.l.f UK for $3! I got mine in the light color. It comes in light, medium, dark.
It comes with a dark wax and a light powder and a dual brush, you use the angle end for your wax and the dome brush for the powder.
You apply the wax first then go over with the powder.
I find the wax part is to dark for my eyebrows. But it fills in the brows really good! I love how my brows look after they are filled.

Rating
4.5 out of 5
I would repurchase this item and would recommend it to my friends!

PS
I have more reviews upcoming in the next month and the new year!

♡photoshoot⌒♡+ﾟ

Sorry I was meant to post our photoshooting photos last night but I was writing my essay till 11PM and then I went straight to the bed （。−_−。） Or actually.. I couldn't finish my essay last night because I ran out of paper ヽ(▽￣　)乂(　￣▽)ﾉ This morning I asked my teacher for more paper and finished the essay on a break.

Yesterday I also had an appointment with doctor, it was at 9PM damn so late! Anyway I got some antibiotic eye drops. I really hope my eyes are going to cure completely （●´･△･｀） I got many comments here saying that my eye inflammation was caused by circle lenses. No, no, NO!!! It's wrong understanding that circle lenses, or any other lenses, would itself damage eyes. Some people aren't able to use lenses if they have too dry eyes. But if your eyes are "normal", circle lenses won't cause any damage if you just clean and take care of them correctly. If you didn't clean them properly, there might be some bacteria on a lense which may cause inflammation but not the lenses itself! ━(-д-；)━ So, I don't believe my inflammation is caused by that, I've been using lenses for years and never had any problems. Doctor didn't research what is the real reason but our school health nurse guessed that it might be just normal eye inflammation that shows up on flu season

Okay that was enough about the issue, now I'm going to post some photos! ∩(´∀｀)∩ﾜｧｲ♪ Beve really took a lot of photos of me I tried to strike out photos and post just the best photos. I hope there isn't still too much 人(￣ω￣;) It might take some time to download all the pictures~


We started photographing in Kamppi shopping centre in the front of those X'mas balls of which I posted a pictures in my last entry （●＾д＾●）




Then we went out but it was too cold! And there wasn't much snow in the centre


Some photos taken in Tennispalatsi ((((●･ω･)ﾉ Ah I'm sorry I'm not very good at posing and all my poses are pretty similar.




I think this is the best photo of my outfit

Fur scarf H&M
Floral jumper LIZ LISA
Lace eyelet shorts PUFFY
Tights GinaTricot
Legwarmers KappAhl
Boots Spirit
Earrings LIZ LISA


I also like this photo very much! Maybe because the pose is different from others and it also shows cute ribbons in my back o(>▽<)o


Christmas trees! （＊＾Ｕ＾）人（≧Ｖ≦＊）/


The evening started to darken so we went to take more photos with Kamppi's X'mas lights. They looked really nice when it's dark, like a sky with stars!




This is my favourite photo, too I put it as a default picture on Facebook!(●´∀｀)ノ+゜*。


Haha such a romantic photo, isn't it? Those photos reminded me of one of my favourite band's song!


Listen to it, it's so touching and beautiful I think I'll never get fed up with this song ヾ（*´∀`*）ﾉ゛

Thank you Beve for taking those photos of me! She's really good photographer (≧∇≦*) We took some photos together but I haven't got them yet so maybe you are going to see them later ヽ(ﾟ▽ﾟ*)乂(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ

They've Dried Up!

I've been meaning to post this for a while..After a year of trying out this product, its time to talk about it.

When I first bought the Bobbi Brown liners, I had never used a gel liner before. The sales assistant slicked it on my eyes and I fell in love. For months, I have been using it on nights out and it really is amazing.

Only one little glitch: they dry up so quickly. I bought Chocolate Shimmer Ink about a year ago,within a month or two it had completely hardened and what I was left with was a hard, cakey mess. I decided to let this go and bought two more in a gel liner set (I can't find the brown one atm).

Should have learned the first time! Not only did the same thing happen again, but it has began to flake. Trying to get any products out of these babies is absolutely impossible. And I've tried everything, wetting the brush before I use it, putting them on the radiator before use. You name it, and I've tried.

And its such a pity, because the range has some beautiful colours and when they are new, they truly are stunning. But at 23euro a pop I won't be making the same mistake again and repurchasing. From now on I'll be buying a cheap drugstore brand so that once it dries up I can buy it again without the hefty price tag and I won't be so disappointed. Any recommendations?
