somethinc brow wiz retractable eyebrow

i used to go through eyebrow pencil really quick. however, since the pandemic started, somehow i got lazy with makeup hence it takes longer for me to finish my eyebrow pencil. anyway, since it's easy to find something from local brand these days, i decided to wait until i almost finish with the old one before buying the new one. anyway, there are two eyebrow pencil from somethinc, the other one is the triangular shape one. somehow i don't like when it's shaped triangular, that's why i decided to get this one. honestly i don't know what's the difference in term of the formula, so if you know about it, let me know in the comment. 

this is the description from their website: precise! get your very precise brow shape in seconds! the 0.55 mm ultra-fine pencil tip from brow wiz makes it super easy to draw perfect eyebrows! get a natural finish with the spoolie to blend and brush at ease. all-in-one brow tool for easy, on-the-go application!

shades: dark chocolate, dark brown, gray brown.

the packaging: it comes with a combination of holographic/black box with description on the side as well as the shade name printed on the box. the eyebrow pencil itself comes in black matte plastic pen shape with dual ended head. one is for the eyebrow pencil, the other one is the spoolie. both ends are covered with the same black matte plastic cap, similar feel with the body. there's a band of color on the body that indicates the shade of the pencil. 

the shade: there are three options to choose from, dark chocolate, dark brown and gray brown. honestly, looking at their website, it's hard to differentiate them since the difference is very slim. gray brown looks like black, while dark brown is dark brown almost black. the dark chocolate is the lightest one. mine is the dark chocolate one.

the product: as promoted, the eyebrow pencil has slim tip and it's really tiny. the pencil is a little bit hard and not that pigmented. if you have oily skin, you should clean your skin first before using it as it doesn't show up when the surface is slippery or oily. the spoolie is slim as well, which is similar to other brand. luckily it doesn't feel scratchy. i just wish a fluffier spoolie like elf one.

the result: like i said, it's not super pigmented and you have to clean your skin first before using it. this doesn't necessarily mean bad as for beginner, it's easier for you to draw tiny strokes thanks to the slim tip and you can easily erase it if you make a mistake. since it's not pigmented, you can build it up without looking too much and soften it up with the spoolie. i personally like the result as it doesn't look dark and scary on me. it makes me look like i have full brows naturally.

that being said, this one is pretty decent. if only the spoolie is a bit fluffy. i don't have problem with the pencil and it blends nicely with my own brows. the price is really affordable as well. definitely will repurchase if i ever run out of stuff to try.
