Recently, I purchased a brow product that was expensive enough that I no more longer bother to go into Sephora and check out what's new. You see, I'm going on a trip with my girlfriends (ya it's my first one heeeeee) so I'm so very excited that I decided to splurge my mom's money on something that I feel important to me; brow pomade. As we all know, I can't live without my brows. I feel naked and dead without my brows filled in and shaped. Hence, the purchase lol.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade. Retailed in Malaysia for about RM100-RM130. It comes in several shades and trust me, there's a shade for everyone. This highly raved product got me because it claims to be waterproof and smudge proof in a humid country which is suitable for oily skin. I mean, I'm all of that. Malaysia is humid and I'm going somewhere that needs me to be in the water, I have oily skin so that's a lot of expectation to meet, Anastasia.
So it goes on a fateful night where I was scrolling through my Instagram feed when @readywith.cakefaceconfession posted a photo with caption saying "READY STOCK ABH DIPBROW POMADE....." Yada yada yada and believe me, I couldn't think straight when I see the word ready stock. So thanks to Kim (the owner of the instashop) and my mom (for paying it for me) because I've been using it for 2 weeks now.
My review? It is waterproof and smudge proof as long as you don't touch it. But if you do, you will probably find a bit of the product on your hand. As for handling of the product, you need lots and lots of practice. I mean it. Watch as many YouTube video tutorials as you can because this bad boy is a disaster if you got the wrong technique. And to be honest here, Tarte's Amazonian Clay Brow Mousse is waaaaaay easier to use for a newbie in brow gels. But hey I got mine and I'm not complaining.
How I use it; I used a regular angled brow/liner brush and a spoolie to even it out. My shade is Ebony and it's a perfect shade for us, Asians with dark brown-black hair. I removed it by just using a normal makeup wipes. It's not hard to remove it so there shouldn't be any problem.
So as a conclusion, this is a great product but there's an alternative to it which is the Tarte's Brow Mousse (it comes with a brush and RRP is RM116 at Sephora). It served and still serving well for my brows as they are sparse so this product made it look natural without being too much. I love this baby and I would give it a 7/10.
Shoutout to @cakefaceconfession for the best service. You guys should check her out! See you soon.
Love,
Fatin
