E.L.F. eyebrow kit review

Hello you guys! A few weeks ago I placed a huge order at E.L.F. cosmetics! I got a lipstick, a blush, two huge palettes and this eyebrow kit in "Ash". I started using it the day I got it and I'm still very happy with it.

The eyebrow kit holds has a simple, classy, black packaging. The kit holds one gel (on the left) and one eyeshadow (on the right). It also comes with a brush. The left side of the brush is very tiny and the other side is like a regular brush.


The first thing I do is define the lowest line of my eyebrows with the gel. That way they look sharper. I also trace that line with concealer to make it look cleaner. After that, I do thesame thing with the arch of my brows - those are the spots that need most touching up so that's where I use the gel as well.
Then I take the fluffy side of the brush that comes with this palette, and I use it to apply the powder to my eyebrows. As you can see this is a light colour so it won't make look like you've put a dark eyeshadow on, but it will make you eyebrows look more "put together". If you have a few spots with less hair, like in the beginning, you can fill that in easily as well!

For me, this whole "gel - powder" concept is new but I'm loving it! I'm very happy with this kit and I've even hit pan on the gelly side already! I will be repurchasing when it's empty!

Mixing it up!

Hello you guys! 
The title of this post is a little bit confusing - you probably don't know what to expect. Unless you've seen the following pictures already! 

Somewhere in April I got an Essence eyebrow kit. I reviewed it. A little bit later I got a Catrice eyebrow set. Today, I'm still using the Catrice eyebrow set, because I prefer that one, the Essence one got a little bit forgotten. What to do with the Essence eyebrow kit, that I won't use for my brows anymore?

 

I decided to go ahead and create a makeup look with these two colours. The eyeshadow that you put on your brows isn't any different than the eyeshadow that's meant for your eyes. The only difference is that the colours from eyebrow palettes are colours that will probably fit the colour of your eyebrows (that's why it's an eyebrow kit! Gosh, I'm rambling!).


The look that I made isn't hard to make at all. I put the lightbrown colour on my lid and the other colour in my outer corner. Then I blended a little bit, just very quickly. I applied mascara and that's it. Super simple, quick and easy. It didn't even take me two minutes!


I didn't put on liquid eyeliner or anything, since it's been really hot and I don't like a lot of makeup on sweaty, hot, burning summer days. The lighter, the better!


So, that's it for this quick, little makeup look! I think I will probably keep using this as eyeshadow, since the lightest colour is too "brown brown" (I prefer brown that looks like grey a little bit, it looks way more natural!) and the darkest colour is too dark to use on my eyebrows.

What do you think? Do you have this palette, and if so, does it work for you?
Thanks for visiting and reading! I appreciate it!
