RiRe Luxe Gel Tattoo in Grey Brown

Hey dolls!

There was a hype a few months ago on eyebrow gel tattoos. I didn't get one until the hype sort of died down a bit. I don't usually buy items just because it is popular, I buy them because I'm interested in them (or in some cases, they are hugely discounted—so what the heck, right?). Well, I bought an eyebrow gel tattoo because it is hugely discounted at the Althea website. Haha!

RiRe Luxe Gel Tattoo in Grey Brown

From PhP 760.00, it was down to PhP 320.00.

I bought the shade Grey Brown because I have dark hair right now. The other shade is Light Brown.

See below the details on the box:

I appreciate the English translation included in the packaging. For further product info, I recommend visiting Althea's website.

To sum up all the claims regarding the RiRe Luxe Gel Tattoo, it promises to:

- Enhance your brows (will stay on skin so you look good even with "bare" skin)
- It's long-lasting (can last up to 7 days)
- moisturize and nourish the skin

The product is housed in a tube that looks just like the usual mascara tubes. There's barely any design except the labels. The simplicity is pretty okay for me. I do like that the color of the tube is the shade color as well.

The applicator is a brush that's a bit flat. I like that because it makes applying at the corners easier because you can create thinner lines.

Here's a swatch:

It dries like something that's plastic. This swatch is a bit thin and I realized that peeling it off is easier if you apply a thicker amount.

When peeled-off, you do get a grey-brown shade. I dunno if it's the lighting that it looks a bit greenish in this swatch, but you get a better look on the swatch on my brows below.

Here's my brow. I have dark brow hair. You might see a hint of brown there from my previous application from days before.

Here's how it looks when I apply it.

Make sure you apply it on clean skin. I recommend that you apply it after cleansing so there's no sebum build up around the area you apply it. I have oily skin so it only takes a few hours before I get shiny.

After more than an hour, I peeled it off. The instruction in Althea's website even recommended waiting for two hours.

And this is how it looks when you completely peel the product off.

I do like how it turned out! It's pretty cool actually. It doesn't look harsh because of the absence of lines. I just apply a brow mascara and I'm ready to go!

After a day at work (I applied the night before) and removing makeup, here's how it looks like.

I like that it's still there and I think that it got too light already. I think my oily skin and my makeup remover probably contributed to the fading. With this case in mind, I think I'll have to reapply again because the faded version doesn't sit well on my eyes. So the promise that it can stay up to 7 days, I doubt it can on my skin considering how much it faded after a day. Maybe I can do some retouch with a regular brow pencil but that's pretty much like applying a brow product all over again. I do appreciate that it holds up for the entire day and you can even swim with it and your brows still look "on-fleek." 

But yeah, it still fades so having the perfect brows 24/7 for days is still not there for me yet. I still like this product and if you're looking for a brow tattoo you can try and that's also affordable, I recommend you try the RiRe Luxe Gel Tattoo!

Too Cool For School: 1 Day Tattoo Eye Brow

Hello ladies,

I have the thinnest pairs of brows. Not only are the hairs thin, they are very sparse and since I need to trim them because they're also unruly, I'm left with next to none-existent brows.

For the longest time, my most valued ally in making them look fuller/thicker are the good 'ol brow pencils, and sometimes, matte eye shadows. This might be the first time I'm trying a liquid based brow liner. So... here's my very short review on this product.

I really find the packaging of products from Too Cool for School adorable.

This product comes in two shades: #1 Ash Brown, #2 Light Brown

I'm not really sure what this thing says... I hope the one written on their site is the translation for this:

The unfading pretty eyebrows that sustain on your skin like natural.

FINE PENTYPE BRUSH

Easy and delicate drawing made possible with this brush type liquid eyebrow.

TINT EFFECT LIQUID EYEBROW

Natural color liquid soaks into the skin and stays neat all day long.

THE PERFECT EYEBROW DRAWER

Flat extra fine brush fills up in between the eyebrow hairs to the most minute details for making the line much more natural than the pencil or cake type.

I agree about it being very natural looking. Here's a picture of it when applied on my brows.

It does need a little getting used to. It took me about 3 tries to get the shape right. Also, there is a tendency for first time users to make the line stronger and harsher than it should be the first few tries.

It's very long lasting and smudge proof when it dries which is it's advantage over pencils and eye shadows. So it performs best in expert hands since it requires a little precision work.

They do give out instructions on how to better use it in their site:

HOW TO USE:

1. Lie the brush down and fill in between the eyebrow hair gaps with a broader side.

2. Straighten the brush up and draw the tail part and hairless spot.

3. Apply for 2~3 times to match your haircolor.

Brush away foundation or sebum before use. If a general eyebrow is applied on top after the use of this product your eyebrows will last longer.

IN SUMMARY:

What I like:

Fine tip

Long lasting

Natural looking

What I don't like:

Nothing really... just a warning that it needs precision work.

Price:

Around 400-500 Php

Not sure how long it'll last me so can't comment on it's practicality yet.

But... so far, I haven't really regretted buying it.. will probably buy again in the future.

Well, that's it for this post. Hope that helps people with brows like mine.

Cheers,
