Anastasia Beverly Hills - Brow Wiz

"

Ideal for filling in sparse brows with the ultimate natural look, Anastasia’s ultra-fine pencil tip mimics the appearance of tiny hairs. The dual-ended mechanical pencil and essential Spooley Brush make creating a fuller brow look not only easy, but convenient too. The mechanical lead saves product and never needs sharpening, and the built-in spooley brush on the opposite end brushes and blends in Brow Wiz to natural brows seamlessly.

As anyone can tell from my videos, my eyebrows are terrible. I contacted the representative at Anastasia Beverly Hills and asked which was more popular, the Brow Wiz or the Perfect Brow Pencil. They quickly replied that the Brow Wiz is a better seller, so I decided to go out and purchase it to give it a try. I've been using the same pencil for years and since Anastasia Beverly Hills is known for eyebrows, I didn't want to do my other Anastasia review videos with wacky eyebrows.

I went to Sephora and of course started making small talk with the cashier, for her to tell me that the Brow Wiz turned green on her. I'm thinking, what the heck? But ignoring her comment, I went ahead with my purchase and was even more excited to try it. Now I'm thinking, could this pencil really make my eyebrows green?!

After using the Brow Wiz for about two weeks now, I've concluded it's cons and pros. The color application can be light to heavy depending on the pressure you apply. I purchased the Ash Blonde which is the lightest color available. I probably should have purchased the Medium Ash, but I'm always scared of the pencil being too dark than too light.  I did notice if you apply a very heavy amount to one area, it does reflect a slight dark hunter green shade. I assume this is what the cashier was referring to.  But by following the directions and using short, wispy strokes I did not see any odd color change.

I absolutely adore the Brow Wiz to fill in the sparse spots in between. I still go back to my old pencil to do the outline & tail line for a darker defined edge, but I think if I had gone with the Medium Ash, there wouldn't be the need for my old pencil. This pencil is very natural looking and buffs easily with the attached spooley brush or you can always use a sponge or q-tip. I also love the Clear Brow Gel in combination with the Brow Wiz.

Wish I lived in LA, so I could pay Ms. Anastasia herself to make my eyebrows look beautiful, but since I'm on the other side of the country, I'll go with second best, her line of products.  She has several other brow products that are on my "to-buy" list, so I'm sure more brow product reviews will come in the future. :)
