E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit Review

Audrey Dao — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 13:35:06 +0000

E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit ($3) Create brows that are fuller, thicker, and more defined! The pigmented wax defines and shapes brows and the color complementing setting powder keeps them looking arched and perfected. The doubled sided taklon brush has one side to help arch your brows while the other side aids in filling them in. This duo provides lasting color definition for a naturally beautiful look.

My Thoughts:

I heart E.L.F Eyebrow Kit! Not only is it super cheap, but it performs just as well, possibly better, as high end eyebrow kits. I own all the shades, but I prefer the Ash shade for everyday use. It matches my dark brows very nicely. It also does a great job of filling in and keeping unruly brows in place. I don’t use the brush that comes in the kit because the shortness of the brush makes it difficult to control. I use my own angled brush. I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy the packaging is. It reminds me of the packaging for Nars products. Sleek and sturdy. It also has a mirror which is great for travel and quick touch-ups.

Maybelline Ultra Brow Brush On Color Review

Maybelline Ultra Brow Brush On Color (5.79)

Why You’ll Love It

Brush-on powder color defines brows softly and naturally.

My Thoughts:

Totally awesome and very long lasting! The brush that comes with it isn’t all that useful. Just use a flat angled brush to apply. There isn’t is a very large color selection and I think this will work better on people with light colored hair and/or maybe red hair too. There seems to be a reddish tint to the powder. Besides that problem, it looks very natural and subtle. If the brow powder doesn’t end up working for you, you can always use it as a matte eyeshadow. Works great as an eyeshadow too! A win-win situation.

Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil ($6.99)

Why You’ll Love It

Micro-mechanical pencil delivers precise application for evenly defined brows. Smear-proof formula wears all-day, and convenient all-in-one tool includes a comb to seamlessly blend color for a natural look.

Blends easily with brow hair
Waterproof for all day wear
Safe for sensitive eyes
Contact lens safe and ophthalmologist tested

My Thoughts:

I wanted to try this because of the unusual comb on the end of the pencil. It looks like an eyelash comb. I have never seen a comb for eybrows before. Usually it is a spoolie or a brush. Surprisingly, the eyebrow pencil performs pretty well. I lightly fill in my brows and use the comb to disperse the color throughout my brows.

My Thoughts:

If you can find a shade that matches your brows then you’re in luck! These brow pencils are really great. They are soft and give your brows a natural look. As an eyeliner, it’s okay. I mainly use this as a brow pencil and I love it.

Revlon Colorstay Brow Enhancer Review

Audrey Dao — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:33:20 +0000

Revlon Colorstay Brow Enhancer ($8.99) Unique dual ended wand with tinted wax and highlighter. Innovative dual ended wand makes it easy to get professional looking results. Tinted wax to color and set brows for soft definition. Highlighter to brighten brow bone area for a lifted appearance. Wears up to 16 hours.

My Thoughts:

This is a dual ended pencil. One end is a tinted wax and the other end is a highlighter. I use the highlighter end for the inner corner of my eyes and brow bone. The tinted wax end is pretty good also. It keeps my long brows in place without making them look harshly fake. The only complaint I have is the pencil is a bit thick. It would be better if it were thinner.
