Quickie Review: $2 Eyebrows from eBay

Shoutout to brow lovers, this one is for you ;)

I am a huge brow fanatic. I honestly probably spend more time on my brows than my eye makeup. I'm obsessed with plucking, shaping and filling them in. When it comes to brows you NEED to go all out okay? Haha. But seriously a good brow makes a world of difference. 

Lately I have been using pencils to fill in my brows and specifically these pencils from Hong Kong/China that I bought on eBay (my favourite place to shop). I have always wanted to try out Asian pencils and I love these. They're a bit waxy and last for a long time! Not to mention these are so cheap - around $1.50 USD for four different coloured pencils. I recommend buying them as a set since one pencil is already 99 cents anyway.

L-R: Gray, ,BO8, B03, B01

Gray - Blue undertone, very cool toned.
B08 - A red brown, very warm toned, good if you have red tones in your hair
B03 - A dark bark brown, some red undertones though not as red as B08.  Good for brunettes/black hair
B01 - An off black. Not really a raven jet black. A really natural black actually. My favourite of the bunch. Use this the most since my hair is pretty much black right now.

These pencils are pretty waxy and they aren't crazy pigmented. You've kinda got to work the pencil onto your brows to get some colour. I see this as a good thing since it means your brows aren't gonna look like you filled them in with an eyeliner pencil. Plus the wax helps your hairs stay in the right place. Although on some occasions using these pencils has lead to some of my brow hairs falling out, but maybe they were always gonna shed? 

Conclusion:

Good for girls who struggle with their brows looking too drawn in. I really cannot complain with these, I mean these were DIRT CHEAP. I recommend just buying all 4 pencils since it's cheaper. Also since I ordered one in the past in it came in snapped in half.

Overall Grade: 8/10
