My mom and I LOVE shopping at Daiso stores because there's practically ~everything~ you can ever need for home and school/office, and even a few random products thrown in as well, all at P88 or below! (Well, except from items under their Saizen sub-brand, which can cost a little over P88.)
One such interesting find is their Eyebrow Coat, which is labelled to be a product of "Everbilena" (yep, I also wonder if if is the same as "Ever Bilena" makeup brand here in the Philippines) and was especially produced for Daiso Japan. It got me intrigued enough to try it out because it promises to keep the brow hairs in place and help your eyebrow makeup last all day - it even claims to make it waterproof!
This is how the product was packaged:
Here are the directions for use, ingredient list, and other information (yey for the English translation!):
PACKAGING
The eyebrow coat comes in a translucent glass container which reminds me of how a nail polish usually packaged. It contains 6ml of clear, slightly thick liquid and an applicator which also looks like a nail polish brush. The first thing I immediately noticed when I twisted the cap was the strong chemical-y smell of the product! If you are sensitive to strong scents, this would be a huge turn-off for you.
APPLICATION
The application is quite easy to follow. Once you put on your eyebrow makeup, just apply the coat along the shape of your brows with the brush applicator. (Make sure that you remove the excess amount of product from the brush first so the coat won't be too thick. Otherwise it would take a long time to dry.) I used an eyebrow pencil which is not waterproof, smudgeproof, or longlasting, so that I can really test the claims of the Daiso eyebrow coat. My problem is that I had gotten used to spoolies and brow combs that the "nail varnish-looking" brush makes it challenging for me to coat my brows evenly.
RESULTS
This is my eyebrows looked before putting on the coat (I used an eyebrow powder and eyebrow pencil):
This is after:
I noticed that when I applied the eyebrow coat, it sets mostly on my eyebrow hairs and not so much on the eyebrow makeup (maybe because I have thick brows). So I really tried to coat the parts with the eyebrow pencil. This is what happened: the product somehow thinned out the makeup and made it look patchy especially on my sparse areas. I also noticed that when it dried, it made my eyebrows feel and look quite stiff and thick, and worse, glossy. It did not look natural AT ALL.
(On the bright side, it did manage to keep my brows in place until the moment I had to remove my makeup. But it it still obvious that I put something on.)
Needless to say, I am really disappointed in this product. I did not even bother to test out its claims of making my eyebrow makeup waterproof and longer lasting, because the look it gave my brows is enough to make me dislike this item. I do not recommend that you buy this eyebrow coat, but if you really want to try nevertheless, at least it would only cost you P88. I hope that you found this review helpful. Good luck on your shopping! ❤️
