Formula/ Texture:
This is a thin wax. It glides through the brows easily without tugging, skipping or pulling any hairs out. A basic makeup wipe will remove this.
The spoolie works great to comb out and thus remove bit of product but doesn't totally remove it. This is a medium pigmented product with the ability to make this full coverage simply my applying more pressure on the pencil and building product. The wide shape of the nib makes filling in the brows so easy and the tip of it easy to define the tail. However once the nib starts to become rounded with use, it looses it's initial affect. Apply more pressure and not comb the brows out as much and you can create a more defined look.
On me, this has great longevity, with a 10hr+ wear before it's removed with no flaking, transferring or smudging even in sweat and humidity. Benefit does advertise this as a 12hr wear that's waterproof but I do find it's splashproof. This hasn't caused any skin irritations either.
While the concept of a wider, angled brow pencil isn't new, I'd throw caution in relation to the rounded nib with continued use and loose it's initial affect. It is a more unique packing then others on the market such as ABH. It's definitely a cheaper alternative product for those who've really been wanting to try a skinny brow pencil out. You won't be disappointed.
