Essence Eyebrow Stylist Set Swatches and Review

One of the products that I love in applying to my eyebrows are powder ones and when I saw Essence has one I told myself to get one and never skip this gem.

Upon opening the product there was eyebrow stencils and an angle brush. When you are just starting at makeup the best way in grooming eyebrows is by applying powder before going to gel cremes or pomades as they call it today.

Packaging : Contains two powder shades housed in a small oblong shaped plastic container. (Not shown in the picture) An instruction guide and 3 eyebrow stencils.

The shade that I got is (02) Natural blonde style which is the lightest of the two shades available. I chose this shade instead of the darker one because my eyebrows are sparse and thin and I don't look good on darker shades. The powders are placed in a plastic tray which is not good. It usually slips through my fingers whenever I try it so do be very careful if you're going to use this. Though you think it's great for traveling but I suggest don't because the lock on the container becomes loose as you use it in the long run. The angle brush picks up tons of shadows that you need to tap off the excess because there'll be fall outs.

This is what it looks like, the powders are so buttery, soft and pigmented that it tends to get messy and you need a light hand if you're using the given brush which means if you drop it there's a tendency the powders will crumble. 

Overall, I love this product for beginners that are starting into makeup this is a good one but to those you are used to doing makeup I suggest don't. The powders are pigmented, soft and buttery that's easily blended though it easily comes off just by wiping with your fingers so what more if you're oily skin? It would easily comes off too. Affordable price but not good for traveling, I wish they would encase it in a small compact for ease of use.

How about you? Have you tried Essence Eyebrow Stylist Set? Tell me what you think.

I cave in and became My Fave eyebrow kit - Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade

The year was 2014 when the beauty trend hype was all about brows and I really at first don't care about my brows though I know how to do makeup on myself. When Anastasia Beverly Hills introduced their Dipbrow pomade, everyone rave about this piece of a gem that I got really curious and saw them wearing this product in action. 

But before I continue let me tell you about my journey to wanting good brows. For almost 3 years I've been uploading makeup tutorials on my Youtube Channel and a lot of people were commenting to do my brows and I listened to them. First, I groom and use eyeshadows for shaping my brows and for a while I love how it shapes my face and how it gives great impact on my makeup. I became very picky. 

So, back to ABH. When I saw other youtube gurus where raving so much about this product that I really got interested (since I'm a little vain on my brows lately) watching them using this in action. I see great results that when I learned from Jean (a friend of mine)  that there was an online sale I quickly took a chance and bought the shade "Dark Brown".

Let me give you a short history of this gem and why it turns out to be a best product to use for your brows and why other beauty brand companies made their own pomade version.

Anastasia Beverly Hills was created and founded by a Romanian woman named Anastasia Soare who had also named her salon - Anastasia Beverly Hills. When her family came in the US she used to watch Oprah just to improve her english skills. She started working in a salon. She wondered why people doesn't pay attention to their brows and where she came from before you get a facial they tweeze your brows first. In school where she was studying in art her art teacher usually talks about how eyebrow shape is important to frame your face. Since eyebrow products were not available she decided to make eyebrow kits and so, this gem was born.

The product is packed in a black, sleek box and in from the logo and name of the product engraved in gold and silver.

At the back of the box it says about the product.

On the side of the box are the ingredients printed in white and on the other the logo of recycled, months usage and the cruelty free (it's nice to know-this is not tested on animals) and the distributor. 

The cap is black and at the center, the logo of ABH in letter "A" shaped like a lovely butterfly with a circle around it.

Packaging/Quantity : Comes in a glass jar, ABH is printed in black. Net wt, 4.0g / 0.14 oz

Underneath the jar a sticker with "Dipbrow pomade", the shade, distributor and usage printed on it.

The ABH dipbrow pomade comes  in different shades ranging from the lightest to the darkest. A shade fir for every light to dark hair woman in the world. 

What it is : A product used to fill in brows.

Price :  $ 18.00 Sephora.com

Color/Shades : Sephora - 11 shades 

                         

Final Thoughts : I like the gel like form of this product, upon applying this on you brows it dries in a few minutes and it will last long throughout the day without any smudge or budge. This glides so smoothly that it's so easy to apply in sculpting your brows. With small brush strokes results in a more natural look and gives definition to your brows without looking so drawn on. I find this one of my holy grail eyebrow product!

Would I repurchase it? Yes!

Peppermint Crinkles' Approval : 5/5

Me with my thin, sparse, bare eyebrows..... O.O *Gasps* *Shocking face*

This is me wearing Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown.  It looks lighter but it is a little darker in real life because I took this picture at night time and the lighting is literally located above to where I am standing.
