Benefit Precisely, My Brow Pencil

-


Packaging:
Metallic silver skinny pen with a jewelled/multi facet caps. One end is long with a pointed tip and the other is more rectangle. The tube middle contains pink and black text and is overall study, easy to hold, scratch resistant and lightweight. The elongated pointed cap reveals the mechanical, retractable pencil side where the nib is a fine 3mm. The rectangle end reveals a standard sized spoolie.

By holding the black mechanism and turning the middle of the pen, pushes the product up. The nib size is small enough for the brows and can create perfect brush strokes.

Smell/Taste:
None.

Colour:
#2 - light brown with warm undertones. Medium pigmentation with a matte finish.
Available in 6 shades.

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 fine nib mimics brows hairs making the overall look very soft and natural. 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.

I'd throw caution in using this for full brows where alot of brow is needing to be filled in as with a fine nib, you might go through this quite quickly.

I love this and as it's more accessible to the ABH Brow Whiz, I do feel like it's a superior product and  has more unique packing too! It's definitely a product for those who've really been wanting to try a skinny brow pencil out. You wont be disappointed.

Available:
From Myer & Sephora, myer.com.au, sephora.com.au for $42 for 0.08g/0.002.oz.

Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
