Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Denim Ink (28)

Hey guys! I'm back with another review. For today it's going to be Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Denim Ink. I chose this color because I wanted something dark but not "too" dark like black ink. I was choosing between this and the purple one. I decided to get this because I have a similar purple liner by Urban Decay called Rockstar.





The problem with these gel liners is that they're not as "portable" as pencil liners. First, they're small but bulky. It takes a while to put them on because you have to be really precise and also you need a brush for this. So you need not only bring this small bottle but you also have to bring a liner. I prefer using this at home when I have enough time to prepare.

The brush that I use for this is from Bobbi Brown also. It's called the Ultra Fine Eyeliner Brush. My brother got it from me in Singapore but I believe it's also available locally.


I prefer using this brush more than others because it's really fine, the tip is precisely cut and it gets just enough product.



This product is really good and it rarely (because I do have oily lids) fades. It also doesn't melt which I like. I prefer it fading than melting because it looks horrible when it goes on my under eye area. Ekk!

I hope more colors would be available here in the Philippines because these are simply amazing!

MAC Brush Cleanser Review

I had a problem regarding what to use to clean my make-up brushes. First, I tried Cetaphil but it seems to be too gentle. Next, I tired my facial wash. It was effective, too effective that it felt too strong for the brushes. So, I had to research on what to use to clean my brushes. 

MAC Brush Cleanser seems effective in doing the job, according to the videos and blogs that I've been reading. It's easy to use, dries up fast and takes out most of the make up in the brushes.

I inquired in the MAC store how much it is and I actually got surprised that it's affordable at PHP680. I say affordable because it's just a few pesos more expensive than in the States. 





 
 

 Everyone says that to save the product, it's best to buy a small spray bottle and spray the product on the brushes instead of pouring it into a small pan or directly on the brush. I bought one in Rockwell at PHP40 and transferred the product in the bottle.

Here are the brushes that need some cleaning!

Spray  the product with the brush cleanser and then...
Swipe the brush on a cloth or tissue paper back and forth so the make up on all sides of the brushes would transfer to the cloth. Do this until there is no more residue on the cloth/tissue paper.
Lastly, let the brushes dry. I do it overnight just to be sure but it does dry up quickly. 

My rating is 4/5 because it takes more than 3 repetitions before the make up is completely gone from the brushes. 

What do you think? I saw another brush cleanser in Shu Ueumura and it's so expensive at twice the price!! Haha. Just sharing!
