[Hands-on Review] Motives by Loren Ridinger – Essential Brow Kit

Motives by Loren Ridinger – Essential Brow Kit ($30.06 + tax)

Hi Everyone!! So here I am again, still counting, my 3^rd review!!

I hope my reviews are useful to everyone.  Remember, if you have any questions or comments (both goods and bads), let me know!!

I’ve done two reviews on Fixx products, the hottest and best-seller Fixx Lash Extend and a Microdermabrasion that everyone would need, 

 This time I’m going to shift over and talk about one of the most important feature to our face, BROWS!!!!!

Our brows frame our face.  Our brows can make us look young vs. mature, trendy vs. the 60s, energetic and bright vs. dull and tired, etc etc. 

This Essential Brow Kit is a bit of the costly side, let’s find out if it’s worth the money!

I personally have pretty full brows, doing my brows is not something I must do before I step out the house.  Usually I only draw my brows when it’s an occasion, or when I really feel like doing something “extra”. 

SO, WHAT IS IT?

The name says it all, an ESSENTIAL brow kit (USA Link). 

What makes it ESSENTIAL?  Because the kit contains of 3 items to complete the brow for any look, any occasion and ALL skin tones:

1. Eye Brow Wax 
2. Eye Brow Powder in Light
3. Eye Brow Powder in Dark

Okok, so, how is it essential?

There’s an eye brow wax for sculpting the brow and to hold the brow hair stay in place. 

The 2 powders can be mixed together to achieve different shades of colours.  To achieve the shade that is just right for you!!!!!

For me, I like dying my hair….. and I’m pretty sure many girls out there are CRAZYYYYY hair lovers!!

I need to adjust the colour of my brow depending on the hair colour that I have!

For the makeup artists out there, this is essential because this is the only eye brow product that you will need to carry in your makeup case!  No more bringing all different shades of eye brow pencils is needed! Haha

With the mixing on colour, you can achieve any and all eye brow colours that you need for your customers!

WHY USE IT?

Simply, our brows frame our face!!!!!

THEN, HOW TO USE? 

Dip your eye brow brush into the wax, and then dip the brush into the powder.

A very basic guideline is:  ONE WAX THREE COLOURS…. meaning to start off with dipping your eye brow brush into the wax, and then dip the brush into the any one of the powders (or any combinations thereof) to a total of THREE dips. 

That will be enough colour and powder for the brow. 

Just a little quick tip – If you have DARK hair colour, your brow should be a shade LIGHTER than your hair colour.

And vice versa, if you have LIGHT hair colour, your brow should be a shade DARKER than your hair colour. 

RESULTS?   

I don’t know what to say!

It works and it lasts. Haha

THE PROS? 

- A wax and 2 shades of powder all in one compact little palette which makes it easy to bring and to store.

- The wax sculpts and holds my brows…. And the two powders can make any shade to match my hair and look, and it can also make any shades for my customers when I’m doing applications. 

THE CONS?  

- I don’t know if it’s me or the product, but mine broke one time when I dropped it on the floor.  It was all scattered.  It was not a good experience as it broke when my make-up event was about to start.  (I fixed it afterwards when I got home)

- The brush that is included in the kit.  To be very honest, I do not like the brush in the kit.  I use my own eye brow brush instead, it does a much better job! 

The brush included in the kit is harder to control and for some reason, it’s hard to clean!

SUMMING IT ALL UP! 

If you are a makeup artist or frequently needs to change your brow colour, then this is an essential must-have for you!!!!  $30, you can achieve any colour for anyone.

If you are a makeup lover, you would probably want to add this to your collection so you can always achieve the colour you want that accompanies your look!

If you are just a normal lady who just need one basic eye brow colour, then don’t waste your money on this as you probably won’t need to adjust colours.  Just get an eye brow pencil in a colour that suits you! 

Thank you!!!!!

Any questions or comments, let me know!!!!!

Also let me know what you wanna see next in my reviews!!!!!
