If there’s one gift that would surely bring a smile to my face it would probably be the new makeup. I’m not exactly adventurous when it comes to trying new brands of makeup, but if an opportunity arises for me to see if something works better than what I already have, then I wouldn’t pass on the chance to do it.

Recently, I got my hands on some products from Focallure, a makeup brand from China. I got them as gifts from a friend and she swears by some of the items that she sent me. I have heard of the brand from a popular online shopping portal in the Philippines, but I haven’t tried any of them. I know most ladies would cringe at using products from a brand that is not exactly a household brand yet, but I don’t want to make my friend feel bad by not trying on some of the gifts she gave me. 

Below is a photo of the Focallure makeup my friend gave me. I have used the products occasionally, and I grew to love some of them, which is why I decided to write this review, apart from sharing an unbiased insight for each item. The products from Focallure come at affordable prices, so I can understand the hesitation of many beauty lovers to purchase and use any of them. However, I also believe that price isn’t the only way to know if one thing works or not.

Not knowing anything about Focallure, I decided to learn more about the brand, and what I’ve learned from its official website is that Focallure, pronounced as “Fo-co-llure”, is a cosmetic company that aims to bring out each person’s undiscovered beauty through the power of makeup. The brand was established in 2014 by a group of fun-loving makeup scientists who came together to make cosmetics unmatched in the industry. I wish there was more information about the brand itself, but I was glad to find that it has a viable website online.

Tinted Eyebrow Gel 

It wasn't long ago since I started using tinted eyebrow gels. Although I love how much time I can save using eyebrow pens, using eyebrow gels give my eyebrows a more defined look. Also, it lasts longer than eyebrow pens. I love this gel from Focallure; it lasts long and color stays throughout the day. Plus, it's relatively cheaper compared to other eyebrow gel brands I have purchased the previous year.

Gel Eye Liner (Black)

When I welcomed the new year, I told myself to be ready to try new things, including new and better products. Trying on gel eye liners is one of the things that I've always love trying and I'm happy that I'm able to do it.

The gel eye liner from Focallure does work. It has the right consistency and it dries pretty. However, my eye lids being sweaty, I don't think this will work on my everyday make up look since it takes time to put them on, and sadly, it smudges on certain amount of wetness on the skin. Hence, I would not recommend this to those who have oily eye lids. Still, it's a great product and you can still use it if you're not doing so much physical work.
