San San Twist Eyebrow Pen| Nitty Gritty Reviews

I always love love love my Snoe What's Up Brow? pencil, but let's face it, for an everyday pencil, the stuff's pretty pricey. That is why I like to use it on special occasions only and I decided to get myself an everyday pencil that won't be hard on the budget, yet still look fab with it.

That's probably why I went for San San's Twist Eyebrow Pen... :) Well, after 2 months of use, here's my say on this:

Packaging:





It's quite convenient as it is the retractable type and thus no need for sharpening. Upon opening the wax looks more like a pencil point, but I love to use the stuff in a slanted angle, thus it became like Shu Uemura's Hard 9 pencil. It may feel flimsy but it's actually quite sturdy, and the packaging would've been perfect if not for the fingerprints that always seem to stick to this due to the shiny nature of the plastic covering.

Variations and Swatches:

What I got is a dark brown shade, and from what I remember there is a lighter shade to this that I think is perfect for the blonde haired gals out there.





Top is how it looks like with natural light, bottom is taken with flash.



I tested it with the harshness of the Manila commute, and with me and my sweaty face, this eyebrow product can last for around 5 hours at most. It is water resistant so no worries if it rains. :) Here's how it looks like on moi:



Price and Where to get:

I got this on sale a couple of months back, around 95.00 Php I think, but if I'm not mistaken, the regular price would be up to 100 pesos. You can get this at any HBC stores, the nearest ones in my place is the Baclaran branch, Starmall Las Pinas branch and Robinson's Manila Kiosk.



Overall:

Definitely something. It's el cheapo but of great quality and it's perfect for everyday use. Lasts quite a long time too, and it also looks very natural once applied to the face. Totally repurchasing this when my pen gets to it's end.. ;) 5/5
