I purchased this product as a substitute for the brow powder which I had been using, just to see how the two different products would compare in terms of creating a defined (but not scary!) brow. I generally like Australis as a brand, so was looking forward to trying out this product.
The packaging is simple and cute - the product is dispersed on a wee screw-out spoolie. It's essentially like a mini mascara, only the tube is plastic. I found the spoolie a little too wide and un-tapered to easily create the perfectly defined brow which I had been doing with my powder. After a lot of practice it is achievable, but with this product I found it much easier to just create a natural brow look.
The formula matched my hair colour really well (I used the medium brown tone), and if applied correctly looked really natural when on. It stays on all day without budging a single smidgen! The only negative point about this formula is the way in which it dries hard - I just found it a little icky having hard eyebrows haha! But that effect is lessened if you use less product.
Overall I think this is great value for the price, but will be looking for an alternative product in the future.
I got this while I was in Australia on holiday. It was quiet cheap only about $10 from Big W. I thought I'd give it a go because i heard it was a dupe for Benefits Gimme Brow.
Firstly there wasn't much to choose from in terms of a color range. There were only 3 colors: Blonde, Light Brown and Dark Brown. I chose dark brown as i have very dark brows, they're like a black/brown shade. The brow tint was WAAYY too light for me. It looked ridiculous! It was more of a light/mousy brown in my opinion.
Applying the product was quiet difficult as the brush was far too big. It was about the size of a mascara brush which is totally not appropriate in this instance. The product got all over my skin as well as my brows. Even after wiping it off my skin it left a little stain.
Even though i only used a very small amount of product my eyebrows looked cakey...... They were like giant crusty caterpillars. That's right crusty! My brows turned rock hard once the product had dried and it flaked off when i touched them.
I only used this once and NEVER again. It was terrible and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I would much rather save up for the real deal then buy this crappy dupe;
