Spotlight | B&C Browlash EX Water Strong Eyebrow.

I must admit, I am greatly obsessed with my eyebrows. It's that part of my face that I pay the most attention to (and spend the most time on) whenever I do my make-up. I guess this obsession stems from the fact that I have really sparse eyebrows. And that's also the reason why I'm all too happy to receive this product from Beauty Corner PH and try it out for myself.
B&C Browlash EX Water Strong Eyebrow.
At first glance you'd think it's the oh-so-famous K Palette 2-Way Eyebrow Liner (because that's what I originally thought, lol), but this one is actually the Browlash EX Water Strong Eyebrow. It's from the Japanese brand B&C Laboratories, and are sold at Sasa retail stores and counters in Hongkong, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, and mainland China.
If you can read Hiragana/Katakana, then good for you. :)
Here in the Philippines, this can be bought online via Beauty Corner PH. They sell for Php 650 each (somewhere around $15) and come in three different shades - Light Brown, Natural Brown, and Grey Brown, which is the shade that I currently have.

Pencil at one end and liquid on the other, the B&C Browlash EX has a waterproof formula that resists water and sweat, and lasts all day long. 

Here's how the pencil part looks like:
Pencil.
And here's how the brush on the other end looks like:
Liquid.
The retractable pencil is meant for drawing out thick lines, while the fine-tip brush is for creating softer, fine lines. As illustrated in the packaging (see first photo), the pencil should be used on the inner part of the brows, while the brush is for the outer/ending part of the brows.

Here are swatches of the product:
Two strokes of the brush on the left; two strokes of the pencil on the right.
Personally, I would prefer a lighter shade than this one as I usually match the color of my eyebrows with the color of my hair. Perhaps the Light Brown shade would be a better match for my eye color and my current hair color. But nonetheless, I love how this subtle shade is buildable and how this product doesn't make my brows look too fake or drawn in.

What I love:
- Easy to use.
- Dual-sided product; can be used in two different ways.
- Waterproof, sweat-proof, smudge-proof.
- Good staying power (at least 12 hours, in my case).
- Three different shades to choose from.
- Doesn't make my brows look too fake.

What you might not like:
- The price. 
It may be a bit too steep for some, but keep in mind that it's from a famous Japanese cosmetic brand. 
And at least, it's cheaper than K Palette. :)

  1. This is interesting! As of now, I'm using K-Palette. This is a better alternative since it has two sides, the liquid and the pencil. It also comes in three shades. I'll definitely purchase this one the soonest.

  2. This looks great. I would like to ad some drama to my eyebrows and this looks like it is pretty simple to use. Yours look great and very natural. Will have to pick this up next shopping trip. :)

  5. I have this brand sis, but it's an eyeliner. Kasi di ako marunong magkilay. Bought mine in HK too, the SAs there recommended this brand more than K-Palette.

  6. I think being water proof, smudge proof and sweat proof make this one a good eyeliner as the smudge effect does not look good.

  7. I am one of the few women who doesn't care much about what they look like so this thing is very new to me. I only do make up when there is a special occasion and I let the professionals do it for me. But, as of now I am thinking to study it and do it myself. I will consider buying this product when I need to retouch my eyebrows.

  10. You're right, it looks like K-Palette nga at first sight. Hihi. I don't often encounter liquid brow fillers. I'd like to try that out too, especially now that I'm beginning to learn how to do my brows properly :)
