Review: NYX Micro Brow Pencil Black

08:38:00

For my black brows it's almost mission impossible to find decent brow product in our drugstores. And if I find it, I usually don't like the formula. However I didn't get this in our drugstores, but it's pretty easy to buy it online and it's not that expensive.


The packaging is black with white writing on it. On one side is twist up pencil and on the other is spoolie, which is well made and soft.



It contains 0.09 g of a product and cost around 10€. Price tag differs on where you buy it (Moja drogerijaFeeluniqueCult beauty).



The texture is just right, not creamy or too stiff. Without pressure you get the pigmentation for the natural brows. The pencil is slim enough so you can be precise with it and draw single hair strokes. On me it lasted the whole day, without fading or smudging.




I think it's worth the price and checking out. The pigmentation is just right for everyday look, it's precise, the longevity is good and they offer good shade selection. The only minus is that you don't get a ton of product and if you use it on a daily basis, you'll use it up quickly. 

And what do you prefer using on brows? Pencil, powder or pomade?

Best of 2016

Catrice Prime and Fine Pore Refining Anti-Shine Base
Cheap primer, that gets the job done. It has no smell and it's silicone free. It also increases longevity of my makeup and I noticed that once when I didn't have it with me. Before I thought it was rubbish. But it's not and now I'm already on second tube.


Zoeva brushes
These brushes are amazing. They aren't exactly cheap, but they aren't expensive either. Mine have been through several cleaning, yet they look and perform the same as when I got them.

L'oreal Infallible
200 Golden Sand
The best foundation I've tried from drugstore so far. The shade selection is not the best, but slightly better than Infallible 24h - Matte. This is actually too dark for me, so I'm always mixing it with some lighter foundation to get my perfect match. The longevity of it is great (approximatley 8 hours). I have some changes in my skin during the different times of the year. In the winter it tends to get dry and in the summer I have oily T-zone. It works for me in all seasons. It has good medium, buildable coverage.


Balea Reinigungs Öl
Great oil for removing makeup that's cheap. Balea did a bad move when they decided to discountinue makin this product, since it was so hyped up. Bad move, Balea.

I Love...
Cherry Almond Sparkle
I must confess that I'm a shower gel horder. This shower gel is to my nose pure perfection. When I start to rub it in my skin I smell pure cherry and after a few seconds comes that gentle almond scent.

Catrice Liquid Camouflage
005 Light Natural, 020 Light Beige
A budget friendly concealer that has medium, yet buildable coverage. It doesn't cover tattooes as it claims, but it is indeed waterproof. It turns slightly darker on my face as it is in the tube. 


Real Techniques Miracle Coplexion Sponge
This is my second sponge, first one was ripped apart by my lovely dog. Game changer in my makeup routine, I use it for foundation, concealer and even for setting my face. If you're looking for affordable beauty sponge, I hardly recommend this one.

Milani Amore Matte Lip Creme
32 Emotion, 14 Devotion
They deserved their place in my Best of 2016 because of the great longevity. If you eat a greasy meal, it will melt down, otherwise it last a long time (on me for around 10 hours). I have to use something moisturizing underneath to make it work and it starts to feel a bit drying after 5 hours on my lips. 

61 Classic Nude
Another one that's here because of the longevity. It's cheap and performs great, what else you could wish? Oh right, better packaging. The packaging is really bad quality, so I'm super careful with it when I'm taking the lipstick with me. 

Nyx Slide On, Glide On, Stay On & Definetly a Turn On Waterproof, Extreme Shine Eye Liner
Golden Bronze
And the award for the longest name goes to this product. I hate the long name it has and can't help my judgy self. On the other side I adore its longevity on my waterline and the color is beyond amazing. Perfect eyeliner pencil for bronze lovers.


02 Browny Brows
I can't do my makeup without this gel. I'm obssesed how good my eyebrows look with it, it gives them some thickness and they stay in place all day. 

 Dita Von Teese
Erotique
Another product that's discountinued from our drugstores. Now I'm using it sparingly, just for special occasions. At first it smells spicy and then it turns to a lovely rose scent with leathery feel to it.



L'oreal Color Riche Le Vernis a L'Huile
672 Gris Decadent, 556 Grenat Irreverent
Only nail polishes I've found so far that last on my nails whole 4 days. So imagine how happy I was, when I discovered them. Mine apply evenly, without any visible streaks and it's opacity is on point. Definitely my favorite drugstore nail polishes. The bottle itself is stunning, something unique, something different from those standard drugstore nail polish bottles.

Batiste
XXL Volume
My favorite one out of Batiste dry shampoos. It gives me that volume that I miss in scented version and god knows I need it. I have a feeling that it does it's job better with removing greasiness than scented version.


Primark candles
I burn scented candles like crazy. So basically I'm a candle junkie. These are cheap, yet they smell nice. Smell is not intense by any means, but for 1€ price tag they smell just enough. They have nice minimalistic jar packaging (I re-use most of the jars). 

Klaas
I know he doesn't fall into beauty category, but I'm a big animal lover, so I have to mention it. For ages I have only cats, yes crazy cat lady and in September 2016 me and my boyfriend got a pitbull puppy. Named him Klaas, because my bestfriend has a dog named Joko. If you ever watched Circus Halligalli, you know where the names are from. If you think he's dangerous beacause of his breed, you're wrong. He adores people and likes to cuddle a lot.

BIOBAZA MEN FACE & SHAVE

I've had this for about two months and I'm very impressed by it. I actually bought it because Mad About Red was raving about it. Since I've started using it my skin has been much clearer. I still get pimples, blackheads or whiteheads now and then, but it's nothing massive as before. And even when I get them, they dissappear much faster. At the start I was using it once a day and then I started using it only when I had a breakout. Now I'm using it only for shaving, since I'm testing some other products for face. Even for shaving it's doing wonders for me, razor glides smoothly and what's best, I don't get that weird rashes on my legs after shaving with it. I'm pretty much upset, since I can't find it anywhere anymore and all of my backups I gave away (they were all impressed with it).


ESSENCE LIPLINER 11 IN THE NUDE
 I like lipliners from Essence, because they're good and very affordable. I prefer these over the longlasting ones, since I feel they last on my lips longer. The formula is creamy, but not too much so it would break and the pigmentation is great. I noticed that the first few uses it was less creamy, then it is now. I also noticed that at the start it made my lips a little bit dry.


NYX EXTRA CREAMY ROUND LIPSTICK THALIA
 I'm not a fan of lipsticks with creamy finish, so I tought I woudn't like this one. But I was so wrong, it's perfect, my lips but better color. On it's own, it's quite messy, since it gets on my teeth. That's why I like to pair it with Essence lipliner in the nude. It stays on my lips for around 2 hours with drinking, so it isn't quite longlasting, but it is very comftarble to wear.



CATRICE STYLO EYESHADOW PEN 030 COPPER AND PASTE
I have a huge weakness for coppery shades. So yes, I got this because of the color. I'm planning to write a review for this one, so I'll keep it short here. In the tube it actually looks prettier, but that doesn't bother me as much, since it has good pigmented, it's easy blendable and longlasting.



ARTDECO 3 IN 1 MAKEUP FIXING SPRAY
I've had this for a while, but I was waiting with using it, since I wanted to use up Nyx matte setting spray. I didn't use it a lot, but it blew my mind with the first use. I must admit, that this one is way better than Nyx matte setting spray. It makes my makeup look flawless for 11 hours, while Nyx one manages only for 7 hours. This setting spray is a total winner for me and probably the best one you can get in Slovenian drugstores.




Top to bottom: Essence lipliner In the Nude, Nyx Thalia, Catrice Stylo Eyeshadow Pen 030 Copper and Paste.
And the main reason I've been absent from my blog is that me and my boyfriend got a dog. We got a pitbull and named him Klaas. It's a bit unusual name, but if you're watching Circus Halligalli, you know where the name came from. I really wanted to give all my attention to him, take him to walk and so.
