jacquelle slim brow 2 in 1 in deep brown

i've tried beauty products from several brands and countries, so lately, i know that local brand eyebrow products are good enough without breaking bank. don't get me wrong.. japanese and american brands eyebrow products are good as well, but they might be pricey if i can't buy them myself. that's why, considering that i go through eyebrow products pretty quickly, it's more reasonable for me to just buy it locally. anyway, my preference lately is pretty simple, just eyebrow pencil and spoolie, so i'm looking for 2 in 1 eyebrow pencils. and somehow i'm stuck. but when i was walking through sociolla, i found jacquelle and considering i haven't tried anything from them, i decided to try it.

this is the description from their website: thinnest eyebrow pencil with 0.9 mm diameter. multiproof - long lasting, waterproof, smudgeproof, and sweatproof. blendable and waxy formula, 2-in-1 with spoolie. adjustable pigmentation, suitable to create thin hairy strokes. jacquelle slim brow is made with the best formula that guarantees a longer lasting brow makeup. its super thin tip and realistic pigment is designed to create a natural hair-like stroke on every flicks of your wrist. whatever you wear and whenever you are, your eyebrow will appear on fleek everyday! available in 3 shades: dark brown (rich brown), deep brown (true brown), ash brown (grey brown).

the packaging: it comes in pink box with holographic strip on the side that has the picture of the eyebrow pencil on it. there are detailed pictures of the pencil, like how it would be like and what's the 2-in-1 for. at the back, there's additional description as well as the ingredients list. you can read the shade name on top of the box, which i forgot to take the picture.

the color: there are three shades to choose from, unfortunately, sociolla store didn't have all three in stock, so i can't compare it in reality. luckily, swatches online is quite reliable. i end up picking the deep brown as i saw it not too dark nor too reddish. and i'm right. it turns out just right. however, it's a bit darker compared to my previous secondate eyebrow pencil. but it's still okay. 

the product: the eyebrow pencil comes in pen shape, still in pink and silver color combination. since it's a 2-in-1, there are two ends, one with the pencil, one with the spoolie. the pencil is an automatic one so i don't need to sharpen it. the shape of the eyebrow pencil is not round, but a bit flat. i think it helps to draw hair-like strokes with that tip. and the consistency of the pencil is just right. not too soft and not too hard. the spoolie is not as bushy as i want it to be, but it's slightly more fluffier than the secondate. and it's not scratchy at all. 

the result: the pencil is quite easy to use. i can draw hair-like strokes easily and it doesn't take long to draw my eyebrow with this. the color payoff is slightly more intense compared to secondate's, that's why i have to be careful not to give much pressure. it stays all day as well. well, as long as i don't rub it. 

yeah sure, this is a good eyebrow pencil. but i don't feel wow-ed by it. that's why, even though this one works well and affordable as well, i don't think i'd repurchase this one. anyway, after buying this one, i end up buying several other eyebrow pencils that i intend to swatch for comparison. let's see whether i could find secondate's contender or not.
