I picked up my billion dollar brow kit in the last beauty vault, I chose this product because I have very patchy brows from overplucking.
The packaging is quite alluring, something draws you in. Maybe its the fact that they are showing you the product on the outside? One downside about the packaging though was I was frantically searching for the instructions inside the box since there was so much room... Ahem... There were no instructions.
However, I found the brush to be really easy to work with and I think it will last for a long time. The product came in a small round container and was "Taupe" colour. I read on the box that it was compatible with dark hair which was a bonus.
I felt that the colour was to light for my personal preference and didn't really give me the result I wanted. However it was perfect for day to day eyebrow wear and let me get away with people thinking I was eyebrow product free.
This product lasted about 8 hours on me before it started to wear off, which I think is a reasonable amount of time! It didn't take me long to apply the brow product as well which was handy!
I don't think I could justify spending over $50 on this product considering I have another eyebrow kit that is worth $30 and gives me amazing stand out results. However it would be a fantastic little edition to a makeup kit and there is no harm in trying this product !
I’m trying hard to think of any makeup lover who would ONLY spare 60 seconds for the very things that frame our face (nothing wrong if you do). I’ve been using this for a week (day and night when going out) and aside from how it’s marketed I like it. I feel however it’s more suited for those who prefer natural looking brows but even 60 seconds for natural brows is a stretch.
The product is marketed as a “pop of colour” and personally I want my brows to appear full, filled in and defined. I have thin sparse eyebrows so natural just won’t do for me, I may as well not bother with brow products (the horror!). With this product, I can easily fill in my brows and build up the colour but I can still see slight gaps that this powder just can't cover.
Courtesy of the BR Beauty Vault I managed to pick up the powder / brow brush combo in Taupe. I’m pretty sure they could downsize the box it comes in by storing the powder sideways, I don’t think that would compromise the quality of the product. You get 2g of pressed powder in a silver plastic screw top tub (similar to Stila Crushed Metals). I would have liked if the lid was a flip top so you could easily click it shut without the risk of losing the lid. The powder has an incredibly soft texture which adheres well to the skin and hair.
Taupe is the perfect colour for my black brows, I can build up the colour for a "full look" or easily sheer it out using the spoolie for a natural look. The brow brush which has an angled brush on one end and a spoolie on the other end is nothing special. I think the angled brush is a little too soft because I find that even when I add pressure, I can’t achieve sharp lines and they just end up looking soft. If you already have your own brow brush there is really no need for you to buy this combo, you can make do with buying the powder on its own.
I use the powder in conjunction with an eyeshadow cream to achieve the kind of brows that I want, on its own it’s not for me however I would repurchase the powder just to use with the other product.
Tips: If you want to build up the colour, swirl the angled brush around in the product (dabbing it won’t do much).
