I finally succumbed to the hype on Beauty Review and bought an e.l.f Brow Kit. I bought this in the dark shade (I have dark brown hair) for only US$3 on iherb.com.
This is a great product and is a great price. The overall look with the gel and powder is really natural - and doesn't look drawn on and fake like it does when I use an eyebrow pencil. The gel is great for defining brows and also preventing the odd rogue hair from falling out of place. I find that it is easy to apply, that it lasts all day, and I don't need to do any touch-ups.
The brush is not ideal (bristles are sticking out everywhere), so will replace that with a better brush soon.
Would definitely buy again. Though it looks like this product will last a while as you only need to use a small amount of product.
This is truly my brow holy grail. For the last couple years I'd been using eyeshadow to fill them in, and I'd always wondered what the fuss was about this these brow kits which had so many great reviews on BR.. So I bought this to give it a go in the medium shade. I LOVE it!!! All it takes is a quick groom, a brush over with the pigmented wax which isn't actually as dark as it appears as a solid, it's actually the perfect tone. Then a quick sweep of the setting powder to fill in those gaps, which is also a wonderfully perfect tone of brown, goes great with my olive skin tone and bright red hair! I lastly just dab a tissue over the top to remove any excess powder and voila! I've been using this kit for 4 months now and I've only just gone through the top layer, so I imagine this will be super cost effective. If I feel like I don't want as prominent, bushy brows, I'll just use the gel on its own, and they still look amazing, dark, healthy and lush so it's like a two-in-one product too and so worth spending money on! It makes my brows looks full and natural, rather than drawn on like most pencils do. It lasts all day, through exercise and sweating, and over the weekend if I fall asleep with my makeup on, there's still a hint of tint in my brows in the morning! The packaging is small and compact, fits in any toiletry bag and feels sturdy enough like the lid won't snap off. All in all I'm very impressed with this product and will keep buying it.
Tips: This kit is about $10 on makeup.co.nz so can buy it there, and I've been told that Kmart are now selling elf!!!
