Last week I posted a Spring Haul with my first impressions/mini reviews of each product, and the Brow Wiz was included in that haul, with only good things to say the least. Here's the video below if you'd like to watch, and don't forget to subscribe if you like it [;
Anyway, long story short, here are the pros and cons of the Anastasia Brow Wiz:
Pros: I love the Anastasia Brow Wiz because it's accurate and precise. I don't have to worry about sharpening the pencil, and it comes with a spooley (not sure how to spell that) brush to feather out my brows and make them look more natural, so I don't have to carry one around!
Cons: The stick of the pencil itself breaks easily. Not too long after I started using it, the pencil snapped. Of course, I just stuck it back into the tube to continue using, but it was frustrating that it did. And the worst part? I ran out of it after only having it for three weeks. What makes that so bad is that it costs $21. If I have to fork out a Benjamin every three weeks for this, I say it's not worth it. I expected it to last at least a couple months or so, but I was disappointed when I needed to fill in my eyebrows and there was nothing to fill them in.
If I had more money, I don't think I'd mind rebuying all the time, but because I don't, when I get something good quality, I also expect it to last a long time. I thought I had found my go-to eyebrow pencil, but I guess it's back to square one for me. Any recommendations?
Thanks for the review! Most times people don't go back to re-review, so I'm glad you did :) Unfortunately I have no recommendations for you, as I don't use a brow pencil :(
ReplyDeleteAgreed with Erika's comment! I actually found my favorite brow pencil at Walmart - it came in a package of 2 pencils, a sharpener, and a brush thingy - all for like, $2! I wish I could tell you what the brand is....
ReplyDeleteI don't use Brow pencils but sometimes I dust a bit of eye shadow.

I don't use a pencil to fill in my brows, since they are kinda thick and bushy. But have heard good things about Anastasia products. It does suck when you pay the money for a better quality product and it doesn't really live up to the price or hype. Hope you find something that last longer and works with in your budget. I have also heard Benefit has good products for eyebrows, you should check them out.
ReplyDeleteI really don't have any recommendations, I don't use so much a pencil for brows (Just a little bit). Good to know about the information.

I've seen so many people raves about this product and I have been wanting to try but now... I may have to think twice before placing an order. Thanks for your review, very helpful ^^ Oh and I sadly don't have any recommendation for you.. I use a cheap Korean brand pencil to line my eyebrow then I use Naked 3 "Factory" to fill it in.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, the product is AMAZING. Don't get me wrong. But unless you have $21 to shell out for an eyebrow pencil every month, then it isn't worth the money.
ReplyDeleteAww darn, it's okay. Thank you for reading though!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, Benefit is another brand that I've heard great things about, and not just for their eyebrow stuff. I'll have to check them out another time.
ReplyDeleteYeah I've been trying that lately. Thank you for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great! If you ever remember the brand, please let me know!
ReplyDeleteThank you [: I felt that the review was necessary with all the positive reviews it's been getting.
