BYS Brow Gel + Concealer Duo Review

Starting off with the Brow Gel, IT WAS AMAZING. I just really loved it from the moment I tried it. 

I got the shade 03 A Blonde's Best Friend. No, my hair is not blonde, but it looked great on my brows.

The brush is included, its size is perfect for a careful brow gel application. 

It's only 2g but you only need a tiny bit of  it when using it, so I think it'll last quite a while.

Honestly, this is probably one of the best brow product I've ever tried.
I originally wanted to buy Anastasia Dipbrow, but after seeing this, I thought I might as well try buying a drugstore one as it might be dupe before going for the high end one.

And I made the right decision, spent only P399.00 for this baby, Anastasia's brow gel is about P1,200.

Definitely saved a lot this time! 

❥ Have you tried the Anastasia Dipbrow? Tell me your comment about this being a dupe ! 

Overall, or should I say obviously, I was completely satisfied with this product. 

It has become my newest favourite. BYS claims it lasts all day and blends easily, both true. 

The best thing about this is that you can really give your brows a good shape even w/o using pencil.

I seriously have nothing to complain about in this brow gel. It's perfect.

Actual use of the products (BYS Brow Gel + Concealer Duo): 

Moving onto the next, 

The BYS Duo Concealer 

As much as I was happy with the brow gel, I was that much disappointed with this one.

The coverage is just poor, and I'm talking about the liquid concealer. It was a huge disappointment.

I love liquid concealers as they are easy to apply and spread onto my under eye area.

My main problem is my panda eye bags, and it was just not doing its job, which is to cover the bags.

I bought this for that part, the cream stick one is just a bonus, so I was devastated with the result.

BUT ! There's more to life than just one concealer hahaha.

 

It's a life saver. The coverage is good, even though I'm not that fond of these types, I even have the Benefit Fake Up but I don't use it that much. This kind of concealer takes quite some time to blend.

And tends to get more oily than liquid concealer.

But then again, at least it wasn't a total waste of P299.00 

It also has this balm thingy in the middle to moisturise while concealing, this prevents the flakiness.

I must say, it lasts all throughout the day and does not change or look awful halfway through.

I'm using it on my under eye area and other flaws on my face. Also on the nose bridge to highlight.

The downside though, it's not as durable, it broke off too easily, probs cause it's too soft.

But overall, I'm quite liking this concealer as it lasts all day and the coverage is flawless.

Tony Moly Haul + Review + Tips ❤

I have been into Tony Moly for about a year now. Funny how I was actually captivated by the brand after ordering the Changing U Magic Mask Sheet Box from YesStyle.co.uk when I was in London.
Ordering an Asian brand from across the world, straight to United Kingdom, but I was not disappointed with it. I ordered it along with my favourite products from Etude House, I then discovered the magic of Tony Moly. My skin (face) felt so energised, healthier brighter, and smoother.
I was instantly hooked! So when I came back to Philippines, I regularly shopped hehe.
Guilty of loving Tony Moly to bits!! 

❤

So, moving onto other products, the Floria Whitening Capsule Essence (this is my 2nd purchase), is an amazing light product for those who want to achieve a smoother skin, along with whitening.
I'm not definite if this really makes skin white as to my observation, but I'm satisfied with its effects on my skin type, since it is not my concern to have fairer skin tone, as I only want my face to be smoother, which I get from using it. This product lasts for about 2 months for me, and I use it almost every night.

❤

The Hug Me Hair Removal Cream is easy to use, and results to a smooth finish. Though what I don't like about it is that it does not really grab up to the roots, so maybe I won't repurchase. But if you're only after having smoother and fairer skin on the underarm, bikini area, etc., this might be for you.

❤

Peeling Me Aloe Soothing Peeling Gel

I love this product. It truly helps me get rid of dead skin cells, revealing a fresh and moisturised skin.

I use this before bed time, 1-3 times a week. Depending on how much I need/want it.
Followed by my Tony Moly Floria Whitening Capsule Essence.

Or if you want a better pampering night, do this when you're about to sleep and use a mask to get an even more satisfying result in the morning! A super fresh and hydrated skin.

I get this feeling that my skin absorbs the Essence better after I use the Aloe Peeling Gel.

(How it looks on skin)

It's best to use after washing your face, then gently pat dry with towel, make sure your skin's not wet before you apply the gel as it's not as effective when damp. You only need a small amount, so this product's longevity is great. It's better to put just right (amount) so that you'll easily get the dead skin cells.

After spreading evenly, start rubbing it onto skin, you'll then see the dry skin coming off like in the 3rd photo.

Then wash it off. Done. Relish your newest fresh skin! 

❤

Tony Moly's Egg Nose Pack is just plain wonderful. It grabs your blackheads and whiteheads with the appropriate application. Pointers is, you just have to make sure that your nose area is REALLY wet! So that the nose pack will stick well and grab onto the unwanted creatures in your pores.

After it dries, gently take it off starting from the side to the center. Viola, the pesky little blackheads and whiteheads are transferred to the nose pack. I recommend using ice, yes ice, maybe ice cube haha just one is enough, rub it onto your skin, gently, especially on the nose area which had just been opened. This is to close the pores that have released the creatures. Yes, you definitely want them to close/tighten again.

Tony Moly Perfect Lip & Eye (makeup) Remover

I always wonder why they don't put the word "make up" in it. It's so creepy haha. Even Etude House's same product's named Lip & Eye Remover hahaha. 

Anyway, love the scent of this. It's effect is good. 

But because I have tried something better, I'm not as satisfied. 

Between Etude House's Lip & Eye (make up) Remover and this, I would choose EH's one.

The packaging is more cute, the scent is even better, the effect of the product is incomparable. 

But, I must not complain as it is a freebie after a 2,000PHP purchase. I'll probs use it if my EH runs out.

Nevertheless, thank you, Tony Moly for the lovely freebies.

❤

BCDation Make Up Fixer

It's like a primer but you use it AFTER the makeup to set it onto place, making it long-lasting.

Though BCDation itself has a long-lasting effect to me. But if the whether's really warm and humid, this Makeup Fixer is your good friend. Also a freebie from this purchase. 

And that sums up my Tony Moly Haul + Review. 

I hope you find this helpful. But of course, always remember that the secret to good skin is WATER. 

Drink lots and lots of water, not only that it has benefits on your skin, it also cleanses your body as it regulates your metabolism. A great way to do this is the first thing in the morning after brushing your teeth, drink a glass of water or two.

Water is the basic detoxifying agent that you can take advantage of, everyday!

With this simple step of drinking water, you'll be doing your skin and body a big favor. 

Staying healthy is staying beautiful.

❤

If you do plan to shop after reading this, I strongly suggest you do it on the 15th of the month. 

Or every 15th of the month hehe. 

This way, you'll be able to get 15% off on your purchase. 

This is one of the reasons why I love shopping at Tony Moly. Not only that they give cool freebies, I also get monthly discount as a member. If you are not yet a member, purchase any day before the 15th first, in order to avail the membership card. Then come back on the 15th for a more indulging shopping.

Light and Simple Makeup for Everyday!

Looking for an everyday look that is effortless and quick?
This might be the perfect look for you!

Focus on the eyebrows, lashes, skin and lips. 

In this look, I decided not to use foundation or BB Cream, not even CC Cream. Since I wanted to do it real quick as I was getting late for school. Instead, I used sunblock.

Sunblock as base and I just covered up flaws with my Maybelline FIT me concealer.
And then basically any powder, but I do recommend use a translucent one if you aim for a natural look!

My favourite powder is Rimmel London's Match Perfection, which I use for my everyday makeup.
It has a light coverage so it's perfect for a fresh natural look, but if you want a medium coverage that gives your skin a nice silky smooth finish, Benefit's Hello Flawless is the best to use.

But of course, the option to use foundation / BB or CC cream is always there if you have time.

For foundation, I recommend Rimmel London's Stay Matte foundation, to avoid looking cakey.
BB and CC Cream recommendation will be on other posts.

As for the eyes, I did not use any eye shadow or eye liner, just mascara! Maybelline's Rocket Volume.

Eye shadow is optional again, given that you have time to do it, but stay on the creams, browns and bronzes!

Brows must stay neat, don't arch it too much.

You can just fill in your brows just to define it but don't overdo it.

Highlight the centre of your nose, and highest point of your cheeks.

Contour just a bit, the sides of your nose (if you need it just like me lol)

Put on a very light blush on, maybe a peach or a light pink!

Conceal the sides of your lips, or use a beige lipstick, followed by a pink moisturising lip tint/balm. 

I usually use Bourjois Paris' Lip Crayon to top it off. 

(I'm not sure if we have this in the Philippines, but I do know some Instagram accounts that sell them or pre-order from other countries, if you wanna know them, leave a comment below? :) )

Last step, spritz on a face mist to help you look and stay fresh.
I recommend The Body Shop's Vitamin E Face Mist, keeps your skin fresh and moisturised.
