ESSENCE BRUSHES AND BROWS

HOW TO MAKE BROWS & A BRUSH STICK

ESSENCE



One day, I stumbled upon the essence brow pallete, and I was in desperate need of one. I saw all the different shades and a highlighter, so I just went for it. 
Then I saw this little stick made up of three brushes. I thought ''why not, it would be a good product to throw into my smaller make up bag when I'm sleeping over a friend's house'', and I bought that too.
Little did I know, that for the next month or so, it would be my go-to eye look.

Ko sem se sprehajala po DMu, sem opazila essence paleto za obrvi, in kot nalašč, ravno potrebovala sem jo. Videla sem, da ima različne odtenke in highlighter in sem se odločila, pa kaj, bom pa kupila!
Zraven sem opazila še malo paličico in ugotovila za so to mali čopiči. Rekla sem si ''zakaj pa ne?'' in vzela še to. Izdelek je super, če potrebuješ čopiče za makeup, ko greš spat k prijateljici in nočeš s seboj jemati vseh različnih čopičev. 
Sploh si nisem mislila, da bo moj ''go-to'' izdelek za makeup še cel mesec.


The brow box comes with three brown shades, a highlighter, a brush, tweezers, and a ''manual'' card on how to make your brows, that's why it's super awesome for beginners.

V škatlici za obrvi so tri različne rjave barve, highlighter, čopič, pinceta in ''vodič'' kako si namazati trepalnice, kar se mi zdi super za začetnice. 




I am very pale, which means my brows are also really light, so I naturally was drawn to the lightest shade in the pallete. Sadly, after a few uses, I realised that it had a kind of a weird yellowish/orangey undertone to it. Since I am blonde, I couldn't use the darker shades because they look ridiculous on me. Luckily, I had just found the Kiko brow pencil that replaced this brow product.
But, me being me, I refused to throw this out. I mean, come on, I paid money for it, I'm not gonna just throw it away. I created a smokey eye. I'm sure you see that the pallete has all three shades perfect for a smokey eye. And it also has a highlighter. Win win!
The ''brushes'' that come in the brow box, weren't as good. The brow brush was too thick for me (and I don't have super thin eyebrows). So that's why I was so glad I bought the brush stick.

Sama sem zelo bleda, kar pomeni, da so moje obrvi zelo svetle, kar pomeni, da sem posegla po najsvetlejši rjavi v paletki. Na žalost sem opazila, da ima rumeni/oranžkasti podton in da moje obrvi zgledajo nenaravno oranžkaste. Ker sem blondinka, bi temnejši rjavi barvi na meni izgledali smešno. Na srečo sem dan ali dva pred tem kupila tudi svinčnik za obrvi od Kiko Milano, tako da sem imela zlato rezervo.
Ampak jaz kot jaz, ne bom stran vrgla nečesa, za kar sem plačala. Zakaj bi stran vrgel nekaj, za kar si plačal? Ugotovila sem, da lahko paleto uporabim za oči in sem si naredila smokey eye! Paleta je super, ker ima tri različne odtenke rjave, ki so bile super za smokey eye. Pa še osvetljevalec je zraven, juhu! 

Čopiček, ki je zraven v paleti je bolj kot ne za okras, ker ni ravno dober. Takrat sem bila zelo hvaležna sama sebi, ker sem kupila tisto paličico s čopiči.  

The ''brush stick'' came in handy when creating this look. That's why it's on the list of another one of my combos.
Not gonna lie, the packaging sold me too. It's just so cute.

Paličica je bila zelo priročna, ko sem se odločila za smokey eye iz te palete za obrvi. 
Po pravici povedano, kupila sem za tudi zaradi pakiranja. Če je pa tako prisrčno pakirano, no. 


All in all, I do not regret buying the products, I just wouldn't recommend the brow box as a brow product to all my pale girls out there. 

Konec koncev ne obžalujem nakupa, saj se je kljub vsemu izkazal za dobrega. Samo ne priporočam palete za obrvi puncam, ki so blede tako kot jaz.

  1. I love that brush stick, such a great idea for travelling. I know how you feel- I'm pale too so i wouldn't really use this either!

  2. Love the idea with the box, it'd be perfect for me. I'm also blonde, but I look ridiculous with light brows instead.

  3. Luckily I am not pale but it is bad that their products are not catered to all coloured eyebrows.

  4. Love that concept of a three part brushes. Would definitely free some space in my makeup bag for sure.

  9. Wow! This sounds great! Fortunately, I have thick black brows and don't need any products but there are friends I know who get their eyebrows tinted so I will pass on the link to them.

  11. This looks like a very useful tool! I will give it a try! I have thick eyebrow hair and I have to take care of it daily.

  12. Never cared for my eyebrows that much actually. Hehe. But i love the packaging of this set. So tempting to give it a try.

  13. Very interesting article. I don't really use anything for my eyebrows, I just let the cosmetician do her job. I never used any brushes on them myself.

  14. I like the product but I doubt I'll have any use for it. My brows are very thick so they always appear full.

  15. Sounds like a must have kit. I love good brow products, would you describe this a long lasting for hot summer days ?

    2. Being essence and drugstore, I wouldn't necessarily say that.. But I will say, I never needed to retouch my brows when I was using this kit :)
