Review: Sleek Makeup Brow Kit



Product Info from SLEEK:
For perfectly shaped, groomed brows look no further than Sleek MakeUP’s brow kit.
Complete with all the tools you’ll ever need for brows that flatter and frame your face, choose from two shades in light or dark to compliment your natural colouring. Just a few simple steps are all it takes for preened and polished brows!


TIPS: Begin by using the mini tweezers to remove any stray hairs for a smooth and defined result. Using the handy hard angled brush, apply the brow wax along the natural shape of your brow to create the ideal arch. Next, use the setting powder to set the wax and to fill in any sparse areas. All packaged in one handbag sized kit, your brows need never stray away!


RETAIL PRICE: $9.99 on www.sleekmakeup.com

WEIGHT: 4 gramsLink
SHADES : Available in 2 shades.
> Dark (brunettes to dark colored hair)
> Light (blondes)

PROS:
* the wax and brow powder are very pigmented
* easy to carry compact packaging
* this kit contains all you need to groom and shape your brows
* inexpensive
* good staying power


CONS:
* I find that the tweezer is difficult to use due to its small size.
* the brushes included are soft but I always end up using my own angled brow brush to apply the brow powder, the tiny angled one is good though for applying the wax.
* not available locally

TIPS:
I find that the DARK shade is too dark for me ( I recently dyed my hair medium blonde) what I do is after I apply the brow powder I use MAC Brow set in Beguile to lighten my brow color.

I RECOMMEND THIS TO:
Anyone who's looking for an inexpensive all-in-one kit for the brows.


OVERALL:
I've tried a few brow kits in the past and I was not impressed with the pigmentation and texture, but with this product it fills up my sparse brows and looks really natural.
