I've always wanted to get me grubby hands on The Body Shop Brow and Liner Kit in 02 since God knows when  So when it went on sale for 20% off (i can't remember exactly how much, silly me!) But I'm sure around 300 was cut off the original price. This is what I like about The Body Shop, their constant sale promos. :)





Why 02

I got the 02 Palette which is a lighter version from the 01, which had a black and dark brown powder on it. I got the 02 because I've seen several makeup artists of The Body Shop Philippines, use the darker shade of brown in the 02 palette on me. I know that the darker shade is intended as a liner while the lighter one as the brow color but since the darker shade matches my brows better, I bought this instead.



Brow Talk

Brows are such an important part of the makeup look especially if you have sparse or bushy eyebrows. Brows frame the face and with the right definition, you can give yourself a makeover just for grooming your brows.  To date, I think I have 5 brow products in my stash. Having really unruly and bushy eyebrows then having it groomed made me realize how different and so much better looking I am when my brows aren't all over the place.

How I do my own brows
  1. Pluck the stray hairs around the eye lid area.
  2. Start filing in your brows from the arch instead of the edge of the brows.
  3. Use the darker shade of the kit to define your eyebrows.
  4. Fill in your brows with the lighter shade of shadow on the kit.

What I love:

  • The shades with wax are very pigmented which makes using this kit a lot easier.
  • The shade lasts all day even with changing temperatures of the weather.
  • It's incredibly easy to use (especially if you have The Body Shop's slated liner brush)
  • The packaging of the palette is so nice!
  • Really shapes the brow and keeps it in place.
  • How natural my brows look even if I pile on the product and create a really incredibly defined look.


What I don't:


  • they can do away with the brush included in this kit. For me it's a bit awkward to use. Better use a slanted liner brush. I like Charm's Duo Brow Brush.



The Result, Before and After Photos

I really don't regret getting The Body Shop Brow and Liner Kit in 02. It matches my brows perfectly and achieving a well-defined brows is a breeze.

I have a quite a collection of favorite eyebrow products, The Body Shop Brow and Liner Kit is definitely on the top three. Worth the money, indeed! And definitely high on my recommendation list.


I can even say that this has replaced my HG Eyebrow Palette, ModelCo Eye Browz Designer Kit.


Beauty Tip: 

Want to be able to groom your brows on your own? Visit a brow place like Browhaus and get your brows threaded by them. So far they have the most accurate way of giving you a really natural looking brows. Once you've seen how your brows should look like (sans stray hair etc.) practice filling it in, day and night. Soon, you'll be able to do your brows on your own since you've sort of memorize how it is shaped and where hairs should actually be.

Key word is Practice. So be patient. Sooner than you think, you'll be able to do your own brows, even inside a moving car. :)

Last Wednesday, the BF and I decided that the kids (by that I mean, our dogs) need to get their monthly grooming done and to give them a little treat. And where do I take them? At their favorite groomers, The Purple Groom. It's located at the newest section of Pet Village where half of the Antique Village was. I guess the business was booming that's why they decided to widen it out.
After our favorite groomer from another pet shop got pirated to another city, it took us awhile to find that groomer that we were comfy with.. It was actually a trial and error for me and R. We wanted someone who knows how to do a bear cut or puppy cut for Pomerarians. We saw a lovely Chinese couple who had a grooming shop at Pet Village, the dad told us to give their service a try and that they have a new shop open that would fit all my kids.

Since we haven't found that perfect groomer yet, I didn't see the harm in trying. And I'm glad I wasn't disappointed. Grooming can be very expensive be it a small or large breed dogs. And when you have 3 of them, it's no joke the money you spend. So far, I can say that with the client service, both on my dogs and how accomodating they are to the pet owners.

I can say that all of the groomers are pretty skilled in dog grooming. It's as if they can do it with their eyes close.
No matter how fancy dog grooming store is, when they have groomers lacking in skill, it's no use. Thankfully, I don't have to settle. The Purple Groom has nice interiors, enough seats and benches for waiting, clean cages for your pets and no funky smell pet salon.

And they take good care of my babies going as far as giving them water when they need it.

Best of all, all my dog come out of The Purple Groom looking pretty that several people walking past the store wants to get their picture taken with my pups!

The Results

Duke
The celebrity dog, as I call my Duke. He's the best thing that R ever gave me and saved our relationship, too. When Duke came into our lives, I knew R and I are meant to be together forever. This puppy cut actually started with my mom when a groomer suggested it. My mom's the reason why Duke is doubly cuter now! She's the one who discovered Duke can rock a cut like this! Thanks, Mom!





Duke waiting for his treats




I got a Shih-tzu so I have someone who looks like me. But as the months go by, Chio is starting to like his dad! Grumpy like him, too! Hmp! But at least, it's me he cuddles to at night when it's cold. I love this cut and Aris certainly knows how to get rid of the tear stain and build up around his knows without it looking too awkward. And looking at now, you couldn't even tell he suffered from tear staining!

Cute brothers Chio and Duke


Awww! Duchess look somber... she's so pretty with her puppy cut. Her shedding has settled down, thankfully. She looks fragile now with her cut and it makes me want to cuddle with her all the time!





They are just get cuter and cuter every after groom!!

I'm very satisfied with The Purple Groom and if you have a pup that needs a makeover, they I definitely recommend you try The Purple Groom.

Grooming for each of my dogs are Php450. I give tips to the groomers of course. :)



The Purple Groom is located right across the car entrance of Tiendesitas on the North Side, in front of the Transcom Building.

It's such a funny thing that no matter how hard I try to engage the BF with beauty products for men, he just can't seem to join the bandwagon. He is so against having to put on anything after showering. Really, the BF could live with soap and water alone. I still remember how I "forced" him to wear the L'oreal Men Expert White Activ Sunblock was by way of me applying it on to his face. Thank goodness, he got used to using it by himself.

But one of things that he loved best was when I took home with me the  L'oreal Men Expert Pure and Matte Bright Charcoal Black Foam. He was so intrigued with the grayish formula that came out from the tube.

Of course, I explained to him that the Charcoal in it causes the formula to be grayish and that it will absorb all the impurities of his face, prevent his pores from clogging and reduces oiliness. Since this facial foam has Salicylic Acid as well, it would reduce breakouts caused by blackhead and whiteheads.

By the mention of those things, the BF tried Pure and Matte Charcoal Black Foam immediately. He hates going to derma and whenever his cute face accumulates blackheads and whiteheads, there is no stopping me from taking him. Well, he really have a nice skin to begin with except for the occasional cleansing needed. But now, I hardly have a reason to bring him with me to my facialist. I've seen quite an improvement with his skin texture and really, I can't complain about the scent. It's so musky, I kiss him all over after he gets out of the shower!!

The BF and I @ Ilog Maria Bee Farm, Tagaytay --- isn't he soo handsome? hehe

I love that my guy isn't the type to use a lot of grooming products. But I'm glad he knows the best products to use whenever it strikes his fancy to be all up about facial stuff. He's such a man's man, the BF, and I'm crazy about that in him!

What about your BF/Hubby? Is he like my BF who doesn't use much of the available men's grooming stuff out there? Or is he boardering Ryan Seacrest already? Share your BF stories below!! :)
