****This trial opportunity has closed****

When you read literally thousands of reviews a week, you pick up on products that every gal has at least tried. You also read the term 'holy grail' a lot.

Nars Orgasm, Benefit They're Real Mascara, Urban Decay Naked, Estee Lauder Doublewear, e.l.f Studio Brow Kit. Scroll through the reviews for these products and you'll find the term Holy Grail. Now it's not hard to spot the odd one out in this line up of usual (and high end) suspects, which begs the question - can a cheap product really hold its own against the big boys?

Here's the official product blurb for the e.l.f Studio Brow Kit;

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.

According to our reviewers this brow kit is worth paying more than the $10 price tag it boasts - and how often can you honestly say that about a product? Here's a list of just a few of it's virtues;

I have had mine for nearly 8 months now, and I am only coming to the end of it.
The angled little brush it comes with is amazing to use with the gel side, it is sturdy and amazing at creating nice crisp lines!
I love the formula of both the wax and the powder. They are both super duper pigmented.
For the price of this kit I was blown away.
The gel is perfect for filling in the gaps of sparse brows, or just touching up the little gaps in fuller brows
This is going to be your new best friend! I cannot live without this product. It is so easy to apply.
I now look back at my previous pictures on social media where I have used pencil to fill in my brows with horror. Never planning on living without this product again!!

And the list goes on!

Well we want to see what one trial team makes of it - is it really as good as they say? Can cheap and cheerful really translate as 'holy grail'?

If you'd like to find out why not put your hand up below. Maybe you're new to brow kits and don't know where to start? Or maybe you're currently using an unfriendy-to-your-pocket product and want to compare? And if you've already used the e.l.f Studio Brow Kit why not tell us about your experience - is it your go-to brow product? Did it rock your world and would you ever go back to more expensive brow kits?

This sounds like a great product! I usually use brow pencils but would live to give something new a go. My brows need a good shaping and colour product to fill them out after excessive 80's plucking! Does it come in different shades?

I never do anything to my brows! But I recently had the waxed and tinted and loved how it looked. I would love to try a product like this but have always been worried about making a complete mess! Is it really easy to use.

Ooh I'd love to try this. First of all, I've never used elf products before, as I've never heard nor seen them anywhere. Second, I currently use an eyebrow pencil which sometimes doesn't blend well with my natural hairs on my brow line, so I've been considering using something else that's either powder or gel based. Is the wax the same consistency as a gel? This product looks novel and interesting though and I look forward to reading the reviews on it.

I bought this aaages ago after hearing so many people rave about it! I agree its a good product for the price but I didn't get as into it as most people, I far prefer using powders as I find its quicker and easier however I must dig this up out of my collection and rediscover it!

I'm currently growing my brows back and have just bought a brow kit. I intend to start over by getting a professional to set it up for me and then maintain what they do. My brow hairs are quite long and prone to moving about, previously I've tried using all sorts of things not knowing about any brow products. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

I have only ever used pencil so not sure what all the hype is about... maybe I need to try this? Is it best on fuller brows or useful to all types? [skips off to read reviews] :)

I've only ever used pencil on my brows. Never tried gel before. Would love to have this opportunity-always good to try something new.

The elf eyebrow kit is on my list to buy and try so I would love to be part of the trial team! I have been using the natio brow kit and it's ok but everyone raves about the elf kit. I am obsessed with filling my brows so will give this a solid review

Have only tried a powder before but this sounds like it might tame the wild brow. Would be good to try something that can keep the brow in place.

I absolutely love this product!! Is definitely my holy grail of eyebrow goodness.

I am loving eyebrow week! It's come at the perfect time as I am just starting to explore filling in my eyebrows. I have never heard of a brow kit before! It sounds ideal, as I feel like my eyebrow penciling is a little too obvious. I also am very interested in the gel aspect to tame stray eyebrow hairs.

I'm a total newbie to brow kits and powder and gel to set. I remember the time in my teens when I would spray a bit of hairspray on a brow brush and use that to keep it in place. It was cheap, awful scented hair spray as well and made my brow hairs really stiff. That put me off using products to set them and I haven't used anything other than pencil for the last decade. I would love to be introduced to more products and see if it can give me the natural looking, thick defined brows I would like to sport.
