For the past year, I've been using ELF Eyebrow Kit to make my eyebrows look more decent.
I use it almost every single day, except on days that I feel like I want to experiment and try new things. So, here we go :)

PRODUCT


The product consists two different types. One is an eyebrow wax, and one is an eyebrow powder. 
You also get a double ended brush to apply the product. On top of that, there's a mirror!
I really find this product super efficient, especially if you want to do your makeup on the go, just one little kit can make your eyebrows look flawless (Plus, I usually use the powder as an eyeshadow for my crease color! How awesome is that ;))

PRICE AND SHADE
Got this product in the shade dark. If you have dark brown / black hair, I think this is the shade that you should get.
Got this for $3 from ELF USA website, but you can get it from the official ELF Indonesia website for Rp 85.000. I know it's a bit more expensive than the original price, but it's easier and faster :)

BEFORE AND AFTER


I personally use the wax part a lot more than the powder.
Because I simply can't see that much difference when I use the powder. (Please be the judge, does it look different with and without powder?)
I usually just use the wax and I'm good to go.
The wax is awesome, it's tinting your eyebrows plus keeping them in place <3

One thing though, this product is good if you are like me, the type of person who only wants to fill in the gaps in their eyebrows, but if you want to really draw your eyebrows from scratch, I won't recommend this product.
In case some of you are wondering whether this product is waterproof or not, sadly, the product is not waterproof. But, I used it when I did my exercise and also I got drenched in the rain once, as long as you don't rub it, the product will stay.

OVERALL
 I think the product deserves a lot more hype since it is so affordable, practical and has great quality. I personally don't have any cons for the product. Love it so much! <3

Hope it helps you all, lavs!

FYI : To my surprise, this product is actually a highlighter, not a concealer. I guess all the reviews on the web got me confused.. But you can use it as both I guess, nobody knows anyway :p

PACKAGING

I am in love with the packaging.
It is sleek and elegant, so it's a total plus when you want to touch up your makeup in public ;)
The only downside is you don't know how much product you have left in the tube.

APPLICATOR
The applicator is a brush tip applicator and the way you get the products out is by clicking the bottom part of the pen. I think it is very hygienic to have this kind of applicator, oh and the bristles are so soft, so no need to worry when you want to apply it on delicate area like your under eye.

SHADE AND PRICE

under the light, can you see the glowing effect on the skin?

I got this in the shade 02-Luminous Ivory and I think it's a good match for my skin color (You can see from the swatches above). The price of this product in the YSL website is $41, but I don't have any idea about the pricing here in Indonesia, but I will assume it is around that, which is quite pricey for a highlighter/concealer in my opinion.
APPLICATION, FORMULA, BEFORE AFTER

As a highlighter, for me, I apply this product on parts that need to catch more light, like inner corner of my eyes, bridge of my nose, cheekbones and my cupid's bow, but.. I also use it as a concealer, which I will show you in the before after photo.
Application is very easy, just apply it directly to your face, and blend it with your fingers.

Formula is very light and blendable. Not streaky, not sitting on top on your face like what few concealer does, it just blends very nicely and looks very natural. Good stuff.

Here is the before after effect of the product.


I don't know if you can see the difference in the pictures, but, for me, this product that gives a very subtle difference. As a concealer, it is very sheer, but it is actually enough to conceal my dark circle. As highlighter though, I like my highlighter to be BAMM it's there, so I don't really like the effect that this product resulted because I think the difference is hardly noticable.

OVERALL
I think this product is very well formulated and packaged, but knowing that it only gives a very subtle difference to my makeup and nobody can't really see it anyways, I think the product is quite overpriced. For me personally I won't repurchase the product, but if someone wants to give me this, I will still be super happy because the packaging is just too pretty, luxurious and it works just fine! <3

Hope it helps you all, lavs!

PACKAGING
The gel comes in a plastic packaging with a pump which I *and I believe a lot of you* appreciate. First, I personally prefer plastic packaging because it is less prone to breakage *even though it looks less glamorous than glass packaging, but oh well, I don't really bring my skin care products out of the house, so.. yeah haha*. Second, I know some of you who have issue with germs will secretly cry tears of joy because you don't need to dig in your fingers and expose the product to air :p
The gel is clear and the consistency is very watery so after you apply it on your skin, it will be absorbed directly by your skin and leave no sticky feeling at all.

BEFORE AFTER

Here is my before after condition of my nose.


I don't really have huge problem with blackheads, but I do have whiteheads and big pores (which appears so gross on the picture! haha) so hoping that after 2 weeks using this, my whiteheads will vanish and my pores will shrink a bit.
Well, I can say that it made my whiteheads significantly better, but I think there is no shrinking effect on my pores. Oh, another plus point, there is no breakout around my nose area since I'm using this product.

--

Because you can't really see the effect of blackheads on me, I bet some of you are wondering whether or not they really can combat blackheads as well, sooo.. I asked my bro to help test it out as well! haha



As you can see, my bro has problem with blackheads. He's also been using "off with those heads" together with me for roughly 2 weeks (I said roughly because sometimes I forget to force him on applying this product haha), so let's see how it works on him.
I think it works pretty well as you can see some of the blackheads disappeared and also his nose become smoother to touch compared to before.

OVERALL
I think if you have a big problem with blackheads and whiteheads, "Off with those heads" is a definite must try product!  I think that 14 days is not enough to remove all those heads, but I do believe longer period of usage can deliver expected result. Moreover, B.liv just entered Indonesia market, so it is easier for you guys who want to get your hands on this best seller product! Go go go, let's get those heads off your skin! :D
