Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse Review and Demo

May 3, 2018

Continuing with my brow product review is the Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse in Dark Brown. Makeup is all about innovation and Revlon has been putting out some interesting products recently. From pizza cutter wheels for eyeliners to built in sponges for Insta-filter foundations, Revlon has been on the cutting edge. The Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse will also be a new innovation with a wand that more resembles a mascara than an eyeliner.

Basics

Name: Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse
Shade: 404 Dark Brown, 5 shades in total
Price: $11.99
Size: 2.2mL
Available at most drugstores

Packaging

The unique part about the Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse is the applicator on the end. It’s full of rubber bristles and looks like a mascara. Then on the other end, it is a twist cap so that you can twist and push out more products. The rubber bristles are pretty dense but do have some flexibility of movement when you brush it through.

When you first twist it up, the product comes out of 4 openings on two sides. As you can see it kind of comes out in these 4 big clumps. For me, it’s the initial brushing on to the brows that give me difficulty as the product is not evenly disbursed on to all the bristles. I found that once you start using it and the product is evenly distributed, it is quite easy to get an even application on the brows. However, every time you twist up, you’ll have an issue with the product coming out of only these 4 openings.

Demo

Here is a reminder of my bare brow looks like. I think it’s relatively full and bushy so I thought it would be a good “candidate” for this brow product. Their claim is that the tinted mousse gives medium to thick brows a clump free natural look that wears for up to 24 hours.

So the first time that I used this, it was disastrous. I got the mousse all over my brow area and it required quite a bit of clean up with the q-tip. However, I had pretty good luck after playing around with it a few more times.

Here is how it looked after I practiced a few more times. As you can see, it definitely added a lot more color to my brows. In person, I can see that it helped this feature stand out a lot more. I was also really impressed by the wear time. I decided to wear it for a full 2 days as I was also testing out the Maybelline Tattoo Brow Gel at the same time (full review to come). So if you don’t remove this, the mousse will hold on for quite a long time!

It does also work quite well on top pencil/brow powder. If you require a bit of reshaping and defining, the Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse will be hard to navigate. However, if you are looking to add a bit of tint, this could be a good option. As I discussed earlier in the packaging section though, I found it messy to use especially when you have to twist up to get additional product.

Final Thoughts

I actually like the idea of a tinted mousse for those people who already have medium to full brows. This way, you can just deepen up the color to define your brow feature. However, I think the biggest draw back for the Revlon Colorstay Brow Mousse is that the product doesn’t spread across the bristles evenly. This results in a splotchy application and you will have to brush it up with a spoolie. But, once you do get the application down, it stays on all day (or 2 days)! Stay tuned though for my Maybelline Tattoo Brow Gel review as that product claims to stay on for 48 hours!

Hellllooo fall! 🍂🍁 In just a few weeks, the Hellllooo fall! 🍂🍁

In just a few weeks, the leaves are going to be golden red at Trout Lake!! 🤩😍. What are your favorite fall foliage spots in Vancouver?
Editing this post made MY MOUTH WATER!! 🤤🤤 Editing this post made MY MOUTH WATER!! 🤤🤤

Here are the best things I ate in Japan - restaraunt edition! (do you want to see one for snacks? or do you want to see a worst things I ate in Japan?)
Prices of the specific dish listed below.

1. Kanoko, try their special green tea infused soba or normal soba. I loved the dashi and tempura. Perfect lunch option for after visiting the tori gates. 1,300 Yen 🍜

2. Okonomiyaki Sakaba, you can pick the inside filling and a lot of the options were meat based. The sauce on top is delicious and you may be surprised the inside is mostly cabbage and not flour. 1,000 Yen🍥

3. Udon Bo Osaka, I tried out a cold dipping udon and it was excellent! They have a special yuzu sauce and the tempura is amazing too. 1,250 Yen 🍤

4. Roast Beef Ohno, the most affordable way to eat wagyu! Loved the sauces and nice side veggie dishes too. 1,750 Yen 🥓

5. Fuunji, flavorful dipping ramen with a vending machine to order! 1,400 (with egg + bamboo add on)🍱

6. Maguro Koya, holy crap I'm addicted to Ootoro now. So glad we splurged and got the double portion. We also tried the chutoro sashimi to compare cuts. 3,200 Yen 🍣

Hope this provides some delicious inspo for the best food in Japan!
Here's what I found from Ragtag in Japan!! 🤩🤩
I've definitely had my eye on a Dior piece and it's extra special that this design is a Japan exclusive.
I have to say, second hand designer shopping is a lot harder than I remembered! There are SO many stores now, I probably visited 20+ and the prices are not so cheap anymore 🤧🤧
.
A similar card holder from Dior is probably $600 CAD + tax. I got this one for ~$350 CAD. It's in excellent condition but there was no dust bag nor box.

📍 Ragtag, Shinseibashi, Osaka
We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I We made it on the kyo-train garaku by Hankyu and I'd highly recommend boarding this train if you're transiting between Osaka and Kyoto. ❤️‍🔥🌸
No reservations are required and the fare is just the basic fare (approximately $4!) 🚅
Check online for the most updated timetable but the most current is
9:32, 11:32, 13:32, and 15:32 leaving Osaka for Kyoto!
We showed up 30 minutes before boarding and was the first ones for car 5. Car 3 seems to be the most popular for the cherry blossoms!
