Nichido Mineralized Eyebrow Sculpting Gel Review

     Hello friends! I hope you're doing all fine. It's been a while since I've blogged about a makeup product that I had so much fun doing. Don't get me wrong, I still love makeup a lot and enjoy putting them on, except during the long lockdown at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when I didn't really have to go out a lot. Now that the restrictions have loosened up, I'm now able to enjoy putting full makeup on with one exception and that would be my lipstick. I still love having them on but when you have to wear a face mask most of the time, you'll have to give it up. 

    One makeup product that I always have with me is my eyebrow products. I would actually switch between my eyebrow pencil and my eyebrow gel. I love using both but recently, I've been using the eyebrow gel a lot as it stays longer which is really useful considering the summer weather that we are now enjoying in the Philippines.

    I got my eyebrow gel from Nichido which is a popular Filipino brand. It's nothing high-end if we are to look into the prices of their products, but a majority of what I've tried from them really works. If you're curious about its Japanese name, it's because the brand has some help from Japanese consultants. 

    Having been using the product for a while now, I thought about taking some photos of it and writing a short review about how it works. 

This is what the product looks like. It's in a very small container which makes it a makeup kit and travel-friendly. Although it seems like there's not a lot of product, it's not something that you can use in an instant. 

In its cap, you'll find a small brush that you can use to apply the product. I love how it is compared to other eyebrow products with a built-in brush as it ensures that the brush remains clean. 

This is what the gel looks like. It has the right consistency, not too creamy and not too hard, although, of course, it hardens once it is applied to the eyebrow. When I was shopping for the gel, I only had to choose between two shades, but there might be more shades available. I chose the shade called Macchiato which is a bit lighter as I also had my hair colored light recently. 

Looking into the packaging of the product, everything that you need to know about the product is in its box container. It includes details such as its ingredients and manufacturing details.

    And here's how I look like wearing the product. I know, I look tired as I didn't have much sleep when I took the photo but I just want to show you what the product looks like in natural light. My hair was still very dark when I had the photograph taken, but now that I am sporting a lighter shade, it still works well. Also, it lasts really long. I do apply a bit of eyebrow powder on top of it just to keep it within its shape, but it also works without it. 

    The product costs 291.00PHP. it was almost 5USD. Having used this for a few months, I do not have any issue with using the product. Considering how it works, I would say that I am satisfied with my purchase and I would happily recommend this to anyone.

Underwear Every Lady Must Have

One of the things ladies often regret not adding to their wardrobe is essential undergarments such as shape wears. Not that you can't live without them, but having them can make so much difference in one's #ootd especially if you are attending formal occasions that require you to paint the town red. I for one haven't invested much in some of these undergarments when I was younger, and I wish I'd had them sooner. For instance, I was already in my early twenties when I started collecting matching nude underwear. It was after when I interviewed a beauty queen and asked her about one thing every lady should have. Her response was, "nude underwear". While I don't see myself joining any beauty pageants, not that I aspire to, her response made me think of what I lack in my wardrobe department. 

     Most of us tend to neglect to look into our undergarments as we think people aren't to see them anyway so what's the point? This is exactly the mindset I had in mind when I was younger. Through my experiences and having to attend countless events, I'm glad that I'm able to have these essential undergarments with me. You too can collect them in your closet if you haven't yet, and I promise, you're going to thank me later.

Airwear Every Day Wear Extremely Soft Bra Trio

NUDE SEAMLESS BRA

First on my list is a seamless bra, not just any color although any color would be great a nude one is perfect. Seamless bras are a must if you are wearing a top or a dress that would require you to hide any back bulge that you don't want to emphasize. They are also great as compared to regular bras, seamless bras provide better support and fit. 

SHAPEWEAR

I've written about shapewear before and some of you might consider it the most uncomfortable thing there is to wear. However, that should not be the case. The key is to find the right shapewear that suits your size and is made of durable material. When it comes to shapewear, don't waste your time buying those of low quality at very cheap prices. They're just not worth it! Invest in shapewear that is made of high-quality material. Although it may be pricey, it will save you more as they definitely last longer. Similar to thongs, you don't need to wear shape wears daily if you don't want to. These clothing pieces are great when you are wearing figure-hugging clothes that will emphasize your curves. 

COTTON PANTY

One of the reasons why I didn't collect the other items I have included here much earlier is because I used to follow only one rule when it comes to undergarments and that is they have to be comfortable before anything else. This is why a cotton panty is essential to any female of all ages. Not only do they provide comfort when worn, but they're also much recommended as clothing made of cotton material provides better functionality in absorbing moisture which is helpful for one's private area. 

AirWear Free Cut Thong

THONG

Yes, thongs are sexy. They are thin, high-cut, and could be uncomfortable to wear especially if you're not used to wearing thong underwear. I'm not saying that you have to wear thongs every day for it to be essential, but it pays well to have them with you if you have to wear special clothing which requires you to wear them. For instance, it could be a glamorous long gown or a tight-hugging bodycon dress for a formal occasion.
