The Real Slim Shady...Visee BR305 Soft & Slim Eyebrow Pencil

By no means am I betraying my tried and trusted B & C Browlash EX Water Strong W Eyebrow pencil (I wish it came in more shades), but it's fun having a little tryst with a new brow product.

Available in six shades, I first bought GY 001 some time ago, and put it away like a squirrel does its nuts in the Winter...and now I can't find it, anywhere.

Anyway, Spring is a time when I like playing with colored brow products. Currently, I'm loving MAC's Eye Shadows in Blackberry and Haux to create a muted, plummy or rosy brown brow. Enter Visee's Soft & Slim Eyebrow Pencil in BR 305. Described as a Dark Brown, BR 305 has a minute plummy tone to it, pairing perfectly with both of the aforementioned products.

Visee's Soft & Slim Eyebrow Pencil comes in an ultra-slim, featherweight plastic holder, with a spoolie on the other-end. The pencil tip is 1.7mm, which allows for quick and precise "hairlike" strokes; thus, filling in those sparse areas, and shaping the brows, while giving them a soft, natural look.

I particularly like that the spoolie bristles are very firm; they do a great job at grooming and combing the product through the brow hairs.

Not too waxy, nor powdery, the Soft & Slim Pencil's formula has a creamy-dry consistency that glides on the brows.

I'm not into the habit of rubbing my face into things, so I can't account for the smudgability of the product. That being said, after a 14+ hour day, my brows are still in tact.

Visee's Soft & Slim Eyebrow Pencil is a great alternative when I'm going for a softer brow, and with a 864 yen price tag, I'll definitely be repurchasing.

An Unsightly Lip...Visee PK804 Creamy Lipstick

Question: do you have products floating around in your collection, with the hopes of one day liking them or finding a way to make them work for you?

Ignore the brush marks on the lipstick.

Well, that's my predicament with the Visee Creamy Lipstick in PK804. I got PK804 back in Spring of 2014, when my beloved Kate, asked me to pick one for her (one for her, one for me).

Having only worn PK804 four times, I found the lipstick's excessively slippery formula didn't lend itself to be applied directly from the tube; doing so results in an exorbitant amount of product on the lips and unevenness. Also, this lipstick made its home into ever single line on my lips, dried them out, and left them a chapped, patchy stained mess. The only way to get PK804 to work for me is to: prep the lips with loads of balm, and either apply with a lip brush or pat it onto the lips.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with Visee's PK804 Creamy Lipstick...but for now, I'm going to keep trucking and give it a few more chances.

Do you have any lipsticks in your stash that you have issues with?

The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth, But Not Its Mineral Blush!

I've been trying to give all the products in my beauty arsenal an equal amount of attention by rotating them on a weekly/biweekly basis. This week's cheek product is Visee's Mineral Liquid Cheek Baby Finish blusher.

Originally released in the Fall of 2012, Mineral Liquid Cheek Baby Finish offers great pigmentation; it's a non-sticky, creamy texture that blends easily without going patchy, satin finish and last about 5 to 6 hours (at least on my dry skin that is).

From left to right: OR200, RD400, RD401, PK800, PK801.

Although I like this product, I'm not blown away by it, especially when compared to other cream blushes in my collection. So, I wouldn't say it's a "must have".

Visee's Mineral Liquid Cheek Baby Finish comes in five shades and retails for ¥1,155 ($11.01).

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.
