Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil Review

I purchased the Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil as part of a 3 piece set from beautybliss in their New Year sale as my beauty resolution is to sort my eyebrows out. After the 90's thin near non existent fad on brows I plucked and plucked my already blonde fair brows overly aggressively and now the trend sees fuller brows that suit faces better I wanted to have a set to be proud of myself but they just don't grow and fill in as I need them too.

I only really started to worry about my eyebrows over the last 6-8 months as I saw the rise of the fuller look and realised that mine were doing nothing for my face. After trying a few pencils I wasn't getting the results I was looking for, step in Billion Dollar Brows!!

This dual ended pencil has a neutral brown shade that suits a number of skin tones and hair colours which means you don't need to worry about if the colour is right for you. The construction of the pencil is great too a smooth cool pencil of plastic coating in silver houses on one end the retractable lidded pencil and on the other the stiff bristled wand brush which too is lidded to keep it all hygienic and tidy.

The pencil is slightly softer than many I have tried before it actually feels and acts more like a soft wax crayon that melts against your skin as you apply it as fill in brows, shaping them as you go, what you do find is that the product can build up on existing lashes that are there, this is where the bristled brush end comes into play, how I use it is once I am happy with the overall look of both brows I comb them through which evens the coverage out, makes any stray hair lie down and smudges the colour further. It works this way for me so I will stick with it.

Lasting all day until I remove them with makeup remover wipes the pencil means I have even, fuller brows that I am very happy with and would highly recommend this to anyone else who suffers with poor brow game, the price of this product is very reasonable and a little of the product goes a long way with its smudge quality so it should last a while before I need to replace it.

I was lucky enough to get this little beauty in the vault. I was so excited to try this as im blonde (kind of a mid blonde natural colour) so finding the perfect pencil for my eyebrows can be quite tricky at times and often they are too dark or the wrong hue. So with this little gem in my hand - packaging, a ready sharpened pencil on one end and spooling brush on the other with lids that secure over both (snap on don't come off in your makeup bag definate bonus!). This pencil matched my eyebrows perfectly I was a little sceptical how it would do this but it does its perfect! - its the best colour for my eyebrows I have ever found. Application wise it glides on very smooth and easy and made it very easy to create my brows (I did watch a few tutorials of BDB on youtube) as they had some extra tips and tricks for creating the perfect brow these also helped me out. The spooling brush at the end was perfect to help blend and didn't blend it away like some do. This lasted me from the time I applied all throughout my work day and further, no smudging or moving or gliding off in the heat!. I love the fact that you don’t have to sharpen this pencil it is already ready to go (nothing worse then applying makeup after the gym and finding no pencil sharpner in your bag!). This is the best brow pencil I have used ever and I would definitely recommend this to anyone. So easy to use and the colour matches perfectly. New Holy grail – I would most definatley and will be paying the $33 to get this when I have used this one up.

I was lucky enough to get this baby in my hot lil hands from the last Beauty Vault and oh my goodness I am never going back to eye pencils or gel this is my number one besides my family hehe.

I was skeptical but after using it I was completely sold! First of all a wind up pencil that never needs sharpening yes please! A brush to help blend yes please!

It matched my eyebrows perfectly just like it said it would regardless of it being the same colour for everyone. My eyebrows have never looked so sleek and refined and last all day but thanks to Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil I can now have salon eyebrows at home everyday of the week and not have to worry about it wearing off during the day and causing me embarrassment.

I received this product in my March BRBB and up until now I thought the whole brow trend was a bit over rated. I am happy to say that I have now embraced the possibility of having brow game. This product is perfect, it's a great shade that blends really well into my natural coloured brows, doesn't look over the top & fake. The pencil is sleek & elegant, the wind function is very easy to use & isn't fiddly. The pencil itself glides on like butter with a creamy texture & the spooly is just great at evenly disturbuting product through the brows for the subtle natural look. I find I don't even need to use "fill" powder anymore, saving me time to do other things. I am so pleased this product was featured in the Beauty Box as it's not something I would have bought otherwise but I am easily sure this will be a repurchase. I am retiring my old brow products... they don't compare!! :)

OMGSH...when I saw this in my March BRBB I flat out died...I have been wanting to get my mitts on this for ages but for some mystical BB reason I didn't hehe. Oh I am in love, the colour is a light tan colour that is supposedly universal to all brow colours but I can't see that looking as good on a black browed person... Anyhu, the colour is perfect for moi...the little tip doesn't need to be sharpened as its a twisty contraption and it has a brush on the other end. With a lighter application you get a lighter result and obviously with a heavier touch, you get a darker result. I just think I am 'Ms Brows on Fleek' when I use this product... oh I bring a confident game hehe. I love it... the waxy pencil goes on really nicely and stays put. Oh gawd...I am always worried that I will do a big swipe at my brows and next minute I look like Sam the Eagle off the Muppets!!! I love that the packaging is grey, it looks like a quality product and it is.

This comes in a white box not something that says buy me, inside is a double ended pencil a bristle brush on one end and a creamy brown pencil on the other end, both ends have lids. A wee twist a the pencil is ready to use, so no sharpener required. Ha ha I struggled with this years ago I tried a pencil and then I got into the wax and brush with the brows. So first go was a line yuck, second go after watching a few u tubes I tried to draw many we hairs! Then I've just drawn a line and then sort off filled them a much better option for me. This goes on nice and light and the more I go over my brows the deeper the colour and then a wee go over them with the brush and they look great. I wasn't impressed when I first started using this but I'm tending to use it so much more than the wax I normally use. The colour stays put, whew so no eyebrows running down my forehead and no smearing and a we wipe over when I'm taking my eye makeup off and it's all removed. I'm quite impressed with this pencil and trying this has opened up a whole new world for me.

I was interested and excited to receive this product in the March Beauty Box because I only ever use a comb for my eye brows and it's quite ineffectual!

The tool is really cute and handy to have a 2-in-1.

Firstly I tried the brush end, with a little tredipation I must say, as it looks somewhat like a bottle brush. I was pleased to find it is absolutely AWESOME! It is firm and just thick enough to brush my rather unruly brows into shape with the first couple of strokes. That is amazing!

At the other end is the pencil, which I thought looked a quite odd colour initially. But when I started applying the light strokes to my brows, the colour matched perfectly - I actually couldn't see it, as it looked just like my own brows. Fabulous.

One of the many beauties of this product is that it stays even and won't wear down or change shape, and doesn't need sharpening like pencils do.

I think that although at $33 it seems pricy for an eyebrow pencil, it does such a fabulous job that it's worth every cent.

And I will certainly highly recommend it to others.

I was very lucky to get one of these in the March beauty review beauty box, this was one of those products that I had been wanting to try for months but hadn't yet purchased. It was one of the first products I tried in the BRBB.

It is a long silver pencil. Compared to the size of other eyebrow pencils this one is definitely bigger! I find because of the colour of the pencil its easier to find with the other pencils I have stored in a jar.

One side has a short haired mascara brush, I like this brush because it is dense you can push the product around more and it moves your eyebrows with a bit more force.

Normally I brush my eyebrows first, add the pencil and then brush my eyebrows again. Once I am happy with the shape of them I use the mascara brush to push the product towards the front of the eyebrow and create a slight "fade" then I brush my eyebrows upwards in the front and conceal the outsides of my eyebrows with either concealer or foundation.

The formula of the pencil is a mystery to me. It goes on light but it works well. I don't like how thick the pencil tip is as I find it hard to get a precise tail for my eyebrows so what I do now is rub the pencil onto an angled brush and use that to create a thinner eyebrow tail.

The stay power is good, you can gently rub over your face and they stay put. If you don't touch your eyebrows all day they will look perfect from morning until night.

I found what I deemed my Holy Grail in Brow pencils... but alas this wasn't what arrived in my March BRBB but I have to admit I was eyeing it up before my previous find... so I gave it a shot.

First impressions: It has a waxier consistency to what I am used to and it took a bit of time to get my brows right. My brows are sparse at best and this pencil actually pulls hairs away as I am applying it, not the brush part but the pencil to which I was only pressing lightly... that made me a bit anxious! and to make sure it wasn't just a growth cycle effecting it.. a week later and more hairs on the end of the pencil...eeek

So I put it aside and came back again recently to give it another shot. I sat down when I wasn't rushed or needing to be anywhere and just had a bit of one on one time with it... this seemed to work better for me, so I agreed to give it another chance (I am a hard woman lol).

So after using this for a while am I converted? well not quite.. I don't mind it but I just don't love it. The colour is a bit too weak for me and it's not as build-able as I would like, the consistency is waxier than I prefer and makes my brows feel weighted (probably not a bad thing just not what I am used to), And I am still concerned over the amount of hairs it takes with application. The brush is nice and firm though and it does a good job prepping the brows and afterwards for a more natural look.

I am just a bit underwhelmed by it instead of loving it like I had hoped. I will keep it as a back up but I don't see me re-purchasing it anytime soon.
