What is it?
Beauty Express kit from Anastasia Beverly Hills containing brow wax cream, brow powder duo, eyeshadow duo, five stencils and angled brush.
Thoughts:
I really like the packaging, it feels sturdy and of good quality:
I received the brow kit in color Brunette (also available in Blonde):
Brow wax, two brow powders, and two eyeshadows:
Wax is great. It keeps brows (and color) well in place, brow powder colors are really nice, you can use either the lighter or darker color or mix them like I do. Eyeshadows are also good quality, but IMO they are so light that I don’t think I’ll be using them much. Sure the highlighter is a good highlighter, but the other doesn’t suit me.
There’s 5 stencils included: Full, Medium, Petite, Slim and High arch, and a really nice brow brush.
How it works:
First you select the stencil that fits the most to your natural brow hair through the cutout. Then you align the stencil so it’s in line.
..Not quite like this... :S
Then you use the brow wax so that the powder stays better in place, and then you take the brush and color the stencil’s open area:
Finally you take tweezers and pluck the excess hair if there is any. And your brows are ready!
Few looks done with “stencil brows”:
Overall Opinion:
I liked this set very much!
I don’t use this daily, just when I have a “bad day” with my brows, or I need to pluck them to shape.
Maybe the price is a bit high, but the stencils are re-usable, the wax and brow powders last really long AND it comes with a good brush!
Price:
$39.50
Where to buy:
You can get these kits from anastasia.net (they ship worldwide, yay!) or if you’re lucky to live near Sephora you can pick it up there or order it online.
I have her eyebrow pencil and really like it. To get the color to stay longer I put Urban Decay eye primer on my eyebrows. I have to scrub it off at the end of the day.
If I could re live the past 20 years I would never, never pluck my eyebrows!! Now that I’m older, i have lost soooooo much of my brows. They were great brows, and I would give anything to have them back, naturally. ( threading seems to work so much better than wax-for me!) : ) : )
i LOVEEEEEEEEEEE anastasia brow powder duo and matte eyelights pencil! these products got me into brow products in general and i’ll never go back. keeps my brows in check and fantastic! glad you shared the wealth of knowledge
Thats SOOOOOO cool!!!!!!
So i have this set and I have had it for I think a year and a half. This is the best brow kit you can find. I have naturally light colored eyebrows so if I don’t color them in everyday I look a little off. It may be pricey but it really lasts and it’s high quality. There is really no downside of this and also my pack came with tweezers and what girl/boy doesn’t need another set of tweezers? So buy this for sure. No regrets.
I love this brow kit! We use it at work, she has a whole line of items for your brows & eyes, she actually has a brow serum that is sort of like latisse for your brows that people seem to like. I definitely suggest taking a look at the whole line if you live near a Sephora or Beauty Brands. : )
ooohhh la la I love this set!!! My only 2 questions would be … How pigmented are the eye shadows? and What other colour sets do they come in, are these the only colours you can get? xoxox
