i always go through my eyebrow pencil fast, so i decided to make husband bought me some while he was in the US. but i've already had la girl eyebrow pencil in my stash, so i only wanted to try the elf or colourpop one. i didn't think he could buy colourpop, so i was hoping he could get the elf. luckily, he did get one from elf, so i was super excited to try it once i've finished my body shop eyebrow pencil.
this is the description from elf website: this instant lift brow pencil shapes, defines, and fills in brows for a natural, polished look. the dual-sided design applies color with the fine tip liner on one side and tames and combs brows with the other to create defined-looking eyebrows with a flawless arch. neutral brown: for medium brown hair.

| the original packaging |
the packaging: it comes with a cardboard backing and plastic cover that protect the eyebrow pencil. there is description and ingredients list on the backing written in english. you can see the shade name under the eyebrow pencil.

| the pencil itself |
the shade: neutral brown is the one that i get. and it is exactly just the name. neutral brown. it is a dark brown without any reddish tone. totally neutral. it suits me well without being too dark or too red.

| the pencil tip |
the product: the pencil is a dual sided one. it has white body and two sides, one has transparent plastic cap so you can see the spoolie inside. the other one has white plastic cap, totally opaque, so you can't see the tip of the eyebrow pencil inside. the pencil is an automated pencil so you don't need to sharpen it. the pencil itself is creamy, the tip becomes blunt in no time. no waxy feeling whatsoever. the spoolie is big and soft, so it's a nice spoolie to soften the result.

| the spoolie |
the result: since the pencil is more on the creamy side than on the hard and waxy side, it's a bit difficult to draw straight hair-like lines to mimic the eyebrow hair. but it does work well in filling up spots in my eyebrow. however, since it's a bit creamy, sometimes i can brush it too much so i need to re-draw it again. but after it's done, it lasts decently. however, don't scratch or touch your eyebrow though. i suggest topping it off with eyebrow gel to make it last longer.

| swatch on my hand |
this is a good eyebrow pencil, easy to use, the shade is great for me, and it's quite cheap if you bought it in US. if you get it here from preorder procedure, the price might get doubled. anyway, i'm glad i have tested this one, but i don't think i'll ever repurchase since it's hard to get. not so many online shop selling elf stuff anymore. but if you can get it in the same price as the US, then you should try it. it's an oldie but goodie.
