Spotlight | The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Design My Eyebrow.

As many of you already know, I have a great obsession with my eyebrows and a penchant for eyebrow products. Today I'll be featuring another eyebrow product from one of my favorite Korean brands, The Face Shop. They've recently opened a branch here in SM San Pablo, making it easier for me to restock on my all-time favorite products such as the Power Perfection BB Cream and Velvet Skin Primer.

Anyhoo, this is the Lovely ME:Ex Design My Eyebrow, which sells for Php 228 (about $5) a pop.

Design My Eyebrow. 

It's an automatic eyebrow pencil that comes in five different shades - Gray Brown, Dark Brown, Black Brown, Brown, and Dark Gray.

#4 Brown.

Mine is the #4 shade, Brown. I reckon it's also the lightest among the five shades.

As per label, this product is good for 24 months upon opening. :)

Now here's how the product looks like.

Slanted tip.

The retractable, slanted tip is perfect for shaping brows and filling it (the eyebrows, I mean) in with color. It has a unique, triangle shape which allows you to create thick lines for the inner eyebrow and thin lines towards the outer part.

Unique, triangle shape.

It also comes with a spoolie, which is an important tool in blending the color and making your brows look natural.

Yay for the spoolie! :)

And now, the swatches.

Thick and thin.

The shade comes off light at first, but it's quite buildable. It has great staying power, too as I was able to wear this for about 12 hours with a primer on. Best of all, the shade is a good match for my current hair color.

What I love:

- Easy to use.

- Unique triangle shape allows you to create precise strokes with varying thickness.

- Buildable color.

- Fills in color evenly.

- Great staying power.

- Comes with a spoolie.

- Five different shades to choose from.

- Affordable price.

What you might not like:

- I broke the tip twice!
Putting extra pressure on the pencil can make the tip snap! :(

Ugh. Pardon the tired eyes.

ELFs and Henecians, You Gotta Love This! :)

As we enter the month of March, The Rebel Sweetheart also marks its third month in the blogosphere. Yay! And now that I've met the 90-day minimum requirement for most money-making programs, I can now apply for writing gigs, paid posts, and the like! Cha-ching, cha-ching! The extra cash would be very useful to feed my makeup and Kpop addiction, and to fund my blog events and giveaways.

Speaking of giveaways, I have one coming up this month, in participation with Mama NYC's Good Luck Giveaway Hop. This event happens on March 14-19. That's just five days, meaning this will be a low-entry giveaway. In other words, it would be quite easy to win. And the best part? I'm opening this giveaway worldwide!

As for the prizes, here's a sneak peek of what I'm giving away. Fangirls, chingus, unnis, dongsaengs, ahjummas - brace yourselves!

A set of Kim Hyun Joong official U:Zoosin (Volume 2) postcard set.  

and

                                     

A Leeteuk-style Open Heart Necklace.

In case you didn't know, Kim Hyun Joong is the turning point (or should I say point person?) in my career (hahaha, career?!) as a Kpop fangirl. I loved him in Boys over Flowers, and loved him even more in Playful Kiss. I watched PK over and over and over that I have memorized most of the dialogues in the drama.

And then there's Super Junior, my love for which has not gone unnoticed in this blog. (As evidenced in the Readers' Favorites on the left sidebar.) Before Choi Siwon, Leeteuk was my first SuJu bias. I mean, who wouldn't fall for that bedimpled smile and aegyo laugh?

Anyway, back to the giveaway. There will be two randomly-selected winners - one gets the postcard set while the other gets the necklace. I'll try to figure something out with my Rafflecopter once it goes live so that the KHJ-biased don't get mixed with the Teukie-biased. We want a fair chance for all, don't we?

I'm sure I got Henecians and ELFs excited just by posting this. Are you all hyped up, yeojas? Come back on March 14 so you can start casting your entries. Of course, I don't mind if you visit my blog (daily, if you don't mind - haha!) even before that date. Many thanks, and see you around! :)
