I recently purchased this with my Sephora gift card that I got for Christmas. My eyebrows are such a hassle to deal with (my own fault, back when I was younger I didn't have a clue how to pluck my eyebrows, and have been paying for it ever since) and so I am always on the lookout for something that will make them a little easier to maintain. I was currently using Maybelline's Expert Eyes Twin Brow and Eye Pencil and it was alright, but it could get kinda clumpy and not so natural looking. So I finally broke down and bought this, even though I would have much rather spent it on something else, like eyeshadow ( I hate spending money on items that are more for maintenance or grooming, like tweezers or something) but I was really getting frustrated so I gave in, and I am so glad I did! I loooooove this pencil! The pencil is very slim and one end has a twist up base that allows you to dispense as much or as little product as you want at a time and the other end has a spoolie brush which works great for brushing your brows into place and blending in the pencil. The pencil is very firm which allows you to draw fine individual hairs, but blends in beautifully with the rest of your brows. The only downside was that there were limited shades, actually if I'm not mistaken this one only came in two shades, blonde and brunette (I might be mistaken, but I do remember there only being a couple to choose from). I was hesitant to buy it first due to the fact that I didn't think the brunette would be dark enough for me, but since I have recently dyed my hair (althought you can't really tell that much) I decided to just go for it. I was surprised that it actually matched pretty well and it makes my brows look a lot cleaner and more defined. I am very happy with this product and would definitely recommend this to anyone who is searching for a new brow pencil!

wow I love it! I've never tried using brow pencils and whenever I do try covering my retarded looking spots on my eyebrows I usually just use a dark shade of eyeshadow! I feel the same way you do about eyebrow maintenance, its a hassle! but anyways they look really good on you and match your beautiful skintone well. awesome!
thanks! yeah i used to use eyeshadow too, but then my brows looked too dark, or it was the wrong shade. I swear, sometimes I would spend like an hour trying to get them to look right! I'm so glad I found this pencil though :)
i'm not so good with pencils. i use BE brow powder and Smashbox brow powder. but i think i will try this one because it looks so natural on you.
thanks! yeah, i used to use brow powders too, but sometimes they would look too un-natural on me. I also used Maybelline Expert Eyes Twin Brow and Pencil duo, but those would get kinda clumpy. I like this pencil because it blends in really easily and it doesn't get clumpy, but the only downside is it only comes in like two shades and the brunette shade which i got is kinda brownish, so it might not match everyone. But you could probably mix it with a little brow powder to get it to match. Good luck! :)
I LOVE this and use it everyday :D :D
Your smile is so natural and warming - you actually look really good in that last photo!
thank you! i love it too, i'm sad though bc it's pretty much gone now and i probably won't be able to get another one right away....thank you for the smile compliment too! i like your new profile pic :)
