NYC Brow Kit
Hi all,
For the past few days, I’ve been
looking for a Brow Pencil/Brow kit that could help me fill in my
eyebrows after a slight over-grooming accident. The first place I
went to was the Clinique counter at Macy's but the prices for their
eyebrow kit and eyebrow pencils were more than what I was willing to
pay. The prices actually got a lot higher as I visited the Urban
Decay and Smashbox counters ranging from $20+.
I finally caved and decided to go
to Target to see what my drugstore options and there were actually
decent amount choices under $10. I picked up the last NYC Browser
Brush-on Brow Kit off the NYC and I was intrigued by it. I saw the
Urban Decay version earlier that day and it looked quite similar and
MUCH cheaper. I haven’t purchased a NYC product in a long, long
time and I was hesitant about it at first so I put it in my cart and
browsed through the Maybelline, Cover Girl, NYX aisles until I
decided to just purchase it. I’ve had really good experience with
the Wet N’ Wild products over the past few months and I was hoping
that NYC had improve their products to the same level as Wet N’
Wild. The NYC brow kit is $ 4.99 at Target while the NYX version is $5.99 and ELF (out of stock at the time of purchase) is listed at $3.00
The product comes in a little
plastic packaging with snap enclosures. The actual product itself is
in a black plastic compartment which contains the Grooming Wax, the
Brow Powder and the Angle Brush and mini Tweezers with a clear slide
out top. The information on the back says:
Complete kit for beautiful brows!
NYC New York Color Browser Brush-on Brow Powder with Grooming Wax and
Tweezers make brows look neater-eyes look wider and brighter.
Usage: 1. Dip Brow Brush into
Grooming Wax; mix lightly with Brow Powder. Using quick, short
strokes, brush upward and outward over eyebrows to fill in color and
add long-lasting hold.
2. Remove stray hairs around
brows with the Tweezers- grasp hair firmly and pull quickly in the
direction of hair growth.
My Review:
I am glad that I got this product
because this is the first time I purchased a brow kit and it is worth
it. I do wish that it comes in more shade, I believe this is the only
color they have and it is lighter than my eyebrows color but it’s
not that noticeable once I mix it with a darker pencil. The wax isn’t
sticky, it really does make tweezing the strays much easier and the
mini tweezers surprisingly works really well. I did however like the
fact that the Urban Decay kit has a highlighting powder and so I used
my own highlighting powder to brighten up the areas under my eyebrows
and the finish product was incredible. This is the thinnest my eyebrows
have been in a while. I usually like it much fuller but hopefully I
can use this product until I get my eyebrows back to its original
fullness and length.
Until next time,
Jessica
