Clio Kill Brow Tinted Tattoo Pen

So someone out there has heard my prayers. Finally! A more compact version of the other Clio Kill Brow. They removed the only thing I have to complain about this which is its eyebrow mascara end. It will probably work much better if it had another type of brush - the real mascara kind of brush in smaller size so it will pick up lesser product. I think the brow mascara helps but not if it picks up a lot of gunk that goes on to your eyebrow. I don't usually use brow mascara also, unless I have more than enough time or I feel like dolling up. 

I got the same colour as the one I did for the full sized Clio - the darkest shade and the darkest brown shade. It comes in 3 shades also, I think there's a number 2 which is a light brown shade. If you have pretty brown hair, it should look very nice on you. But my hair is black. I have never dyed it before so I need to pick the darker shades.

#3 Earth Brown

#1 Dark Brown

Pros

Pretty long lasting.

Easy to apply.

Cons

Size is bigger than the other eyebrow tint but it's alright. 

No other cons. They've taken away my only cons for this product. Am loving this!

Full review of the full sized tint with the eyebrow mascara is here. Everything is basically the same so I will not write up a repetitive post on this. Click for pictures on how they look on me.

Finally ordered these online. It came in 3 colours. I avoided the lightest colour since my hair is black and I'll look like I'm crazy if I use the light brown colour - brunette wannabe much.

Picture taken from the web. Currently watching the drama Producer and this model looks like one of the actresses hahah.. Maybe she's the person. Her eyebrows look very well drawn here. I think I should draw mine a little thicker. Bushier look is not too bad.. 

Mascara eyebrow attached at the other end. This brush is a little different from the usual mascara brush. One side is flatter. Probably it's because you only use one side to brush anyway? Hahaha I have no clue. Feels weird initially because sometimes I might use the flat type to brush so I need to make sure I use the right side up. They pick up a lot of gunk from the pot. So you have to brush slowly. Unlike the other eyebrow mascara I've tried, they all seem to pick up a lot only when you start using and subsequently kind of dry up a little - which is fine with me because I don't like wiping off the excess on my brows. I have used this for a few times and they are still thick. It's supposed to be good I suppose for those who need a lot of top ups from the mascara.

Pen tip is like a marker. Not like the other soft felt tip kind. These are not too bad and they don't make a huge difference compared to the others. I have no preference between the two. They both work just fine.

#1 Earth Brown on the left and #3 Dark Brown on the right. The colour doesn't seem to differ much but off camera it's noticeable. I will probably just pick out one colour when I need to refill next time. The tint colour doesn't build up that much. First line to third line from the top are the number of strokes I've applied them with. 

This is the rub test with after I've sprayed it with water. It's pretty long lasting. It does rub off but only when you put in a little effort. You can probably wear this to swim. I have yet to try that but I think I will soon and update again. The eyebrow mascara is liquidy so be careful upon application. Little bit goes a long way. 

Using #3 Dark Brown here. Colour fits my hair. Not too light and not too dark. When you have make up on, the other make up items you use seem to fall in place just fine.

Using #1 Earth Brown here. Doesn't look much lighter than the darker colour. But there is a difference off camera. Personally I dont mind both colour. It's not too light for my hair. One thing I've noticed is sometimes after I remove my make up, the next morning I will notice a little residue on my brows which... I'm still wondering if it's the leftover from this tint or did my brows grow thicker finally? Hahahaha I hope it's the latter.

#3 Dark Brown

Pros

One set as the eyebrow mascara so you don't need to carry an extra item.

Pretty long lasting.

Easy to apply.

Cons

Size is huge compared to the normal eyebrow tint.

There's a tendency to over apply the eyebrow mascara.

Clio Lipnicure

I was watching some videos online and chanced upon this lipnicure. Have been seeing Clio products around but has never been tempted to give any of it a try till I see this item. The thing that caught my attention was - it's supposed to be very tough to remove. 

Its the Clip Lipnicure which stands for most probably lip manicure seeing it comes with a lip primer and also a top coat (the clear gloss). 

Colour swatches from top to bottom:

No.6 Rumor Coral

No.3 Crime Pink (the one I'm holding) 

No.5 Revenge Pink (supposedly one of the more popular ones but so not my colour)

Comes with a tiny curved applicator. You are supposed to apply one layer on and leave it to dry for 30seconds and after that its smudge proof. I did the test on my hand and bought one immediately after 30secs is over. It didn't budge at all!! So incredibly amazing! And Im telling you when I do the scrub test, I scrub HARD. The first picture with swatches is what they look like almost 3hrs after I apply them on. I went for a movie and dinner after and they are still instact. 

Amazing on the hand. BUT. I applied my fantabulous pink shade on my lips before the movie and applied bit of balm on top since it feels matte and dry and when I came out I went to the toilet to have a look and behold a grotesque sight. The lipnicure was flaking off. Patches here and there. I did a scrub test on my lips after 30secs before the movie and all is good, it wouldnt budge and and looks ok for first try - was trying to scrub off some mistakes. You need to practice before you get too adventurous start wearing this out. Since it dries off pretty quickly it also means you gotta work faster in smoothing out your mistakes too.  

So, i was starting to panic, dont tell me I have to look like this for the next few hours since I still need to meet Jan for dinner and movie. So i started wiping them off and guess what, it came off easily. I think my balm acts as a diluter or remover somehow. Great! 

This is what it looks like with JUST a single coat of the lipnicure. Not loving the look! My lips are too dark for this shade, you can still see the edges. That's also why I applied my balm on top when I first tried it. After application you really need to leave it alone for 30secs. I made the mistake of smacking my lips (bad habit) and it messed the whole thing up. After it dries off it feels like you have a little layer of gloss on your lips. It certainly doesnt look like it. 

I went back to try it on with the primer and topcoat to see if it will make any difference. 

Scrub test after I got home. 

This shade is No7. Tension Red.

My balm is really good in acting as a remover. The primer and topcoat makes it easier to remove too. I would say the topcoat feels like any normal transparent gloss. I no longer use this sort of gloss so it doesnt apply to me at all. Primer kinda feels like a normal lipstick yellowish kind of lipbalm.  Im not interested too. What freaking annoys me is i got it full price at Watsons  and when I walked to the other Watsons at PS, it was on 20% off #fml. 

On another note, I bought a pair of boyfriend jeans today at Cotton On that Ive been eyeing for the longest time and when I was finally getting it, my bill had 40% off!! #unfmlx2 bwahah so exciting. 

This lipnicure will highlight any cracks and  wrinkles you have on your lips. Pre scrubbing is highly recommended. Going for darker might look better too if your lips is not smooth like mine. The matte dark bloody red look is super nice. But I'm in my pinkish craze nowadays. My lips usually suits only orangey colours so i'm try to be a little experimental with lighter shades. 

You can easily remove this with oil based make up remover. I tried with my eye&lipmakeup  remover and also my cleansing oil. Both works fine. If you are even more lazy than I am, just apply some gloss or balm before you reach home and by the time you hit the toilet it will probably be ready to remove. Wahah. 

This is what it looks like after around 1.5hrs of me drinking and eating my tiramisu. I didnt apply anything else on top. 

Most likely i will not get another one. Unless i learn how to work this better on my lips. Even the moussey etude house lips-fit is easier to apply. At most keep you just have to keep erasing and applying till it looks ok. There is no immediate erase for this lipnicure.
