I am obsessed with how tiny it is. It really reminds me of my favorite brow pencil of all time from Kosas.34:21–34:25
That is something that really helps to prevent my brows from looking super harsh or pencily or overly filled in.34:25–34:34
That is a huge, huge, huge win for me from the drugstore because if you have watched my new at the drugstore videos for the past several years, then you will know that this is a category I really struggle with.34:34–34:40
Officially my new favorite drugstore brow pencil.34:50–34:55
Everything is too dark, too intense, too cool toned. This is perfect.9:47–9:52
I have the shade ash blonde, which they actually describe as a cool toned blonde, but I feel is a perfect neutral blonde.9:50–9:57
I not only love it for that reason, but also because it truly is the teeniest tiniest pencil I have ever found at the drugstore.10:07–10:10
I just find that a really teeny pencil like this allows me to get a more natural brow look.10:21–10:28
I feel like it's easy to overdo it when the actual pencil itself is really thick. This prevents that for sure.10:28–10:34
I am super excited to finally have a drugstore brow product that I really love and can highly recommend.10:34–10:38
I really am enjoying the application cuz it is super small.9:26–9:30
I like that I can turn it on its side and give me more of a fill and then I can be more precise with it.9:27–9:34
The pencil itself is actually fantastic.
I like the formula cuz it's kind of like a powdery finish. It's not like jelly.9:35–9:40
The shade for me it's way too light and it's too warm. Like it just doesn't work for me shade-wise.9:45–9:51
