New Brow Goodies

With so many new brow products on the market, it's hard to not be intrigued.  I recently picked up two new pencils and a clear brow gel to test out.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer
This is a new release from the brand.  Similar to their Brow Wiz, this is a retractable pencil with a spoolie on the other end.  Unlike the skinny tip the Brow Wiz has, the Brow Definer has a larger, flatter, triangular-shaped tip.  If you are one who likes to lightly fill in sparse areas, the Brow Wiz would be the way to go.  However, if you're like me and go for a bold brow ever day, I think you'll love the Brow Definer.  Since it's bigger, it covers more area per swipe.  It's so much faster than the Brow Wiz!  I picked up the color Soft Brown and think it's perfect for me--it has just a bit more warmth than Medium Brown.  The formula is waxy and has good lasting power.

L'Oreal Brow Stylist Definer
Similar to the Brow Wiz or NYX's Micro Brow Pencil , L'Oreal's Brow Stylist Definer is a retractable pencil with a spoolie and has a very fine tip.  I already know I like both the Brow Wiz and Micro Brow Pencil, and I wanted to see how L'Oreal's version compares.  They are all very similar in packaging and quality.  Brow Wiz has the waxiest formula of all three, followed by the Micro Brow Pencil and the Brow Stylist Definer.  Brow Stylist Definer was, in my opinion, is the softest in texture and glides on more easily than the other two.  Despite the soft texture, its longevity is pretty decent.  I chose the color Brunette, which is almost the exact same shade as the Micro Brow in Ash Brown.  Despite the fact that I have almost black hair, I don't typically go for the darkest shade in brow products.  Brunette is a good color for me and isn't too warm or too cool.

L-R:  NYX Micro Brow in Ash Brown, L'Oreal Brow Stylist Definer in Brunette, ABH Brow Definer in Soft Brown

I also picked up L'Oreal's Brow Stylist Plumper Brow Gel in transparent to set my brows after using the pencils.  It's a good clear brow gel with decent hold (not the strongest by any means, but good enough).  The wand is on the smaller side, which is neither here nor there for a clear formula.  I'll need more time to decide if I like it more than NYX's Control Freak, but so far, so good.

Thank you for reading, and if you've picked up any new brow products recently, please share your thoughts with me!
