Review: Ardell Brow Defining Powder

I was looking for a replacement of my eyebrow pencil and I've been reading reviews on drugstore choices (no way I'm gonna spend moolah on brow powder hehe), and my choices came down to NYC brow kit or Ardell Brow Defining Powder.

When I finally checked them out on stores, I noticed NYC's darkest shade is too light for my eyebrow, that's why I decided to get this instead.

Ardell Brow Defining Powder




Price:
5/5
($4.00~ at drugstores or Wal Mart)

Packaging: 4/5
(nothing special, comes with a small angle brush)

Result: 5/5

Overall: 5/5 (me likey likey)





Application: just simply swab the brush on the powder -more like eyeshadow form- and draw a line following your natural shape of eye brow.

Soft Black color

Before

After

Love:
  • The color selection; They have 3 colors, Soft Black, Mink Brown and Taupe.
  • The price; it's not bad for the result : )
  • The brush; angled, short handle and firm (I know some people don't like this kinda brush, but I don't have problem with it...YET hehehe)
Loath:
  • The fact that it doesn't come with wax to keep hairs in tact, although I could always use my brow gel.
  • The 'powder', mine was kinda chipped a little bit so it's kinda messy.
Inan sez:

I got this one on Soft Black and this is the darkest one they offer. I'm so happy they have this color since my hair is dark and using brown powder just look too 'red' on me, very unnatural.

Before I used my Wet'n'Wild Eyebrow Pencil in #652 (Dark Brown) but I've started to notice in particular lighting my eyebrows look too brown. Plus when I'm not careful they can look too done. So I'm happy with this finding.
