Hey Guys,
I picked up the Benefit Magical Brow Stars set after the holidays and I wanted to share my thoughts on each of the products. I was already a fan of the Benefit brow products that I've tried such as High Brow and Gimme Brow but and I've wanted to try more of their products for quite a while. I figured this kit was the perfect opportunity to do so. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on each product!
This kit was a limited edition kit and no longer in stock. However, you can purchase a similar kit HERE.
This kit was $59.00 and comes with the following 5 full sized products and 1 brow tool. I chose shade 3 which is a medium neutral light brown shade.
FoolProof Brow Powder
Eyebrow powder goes foolproof! Instantly fill your brows & create a soft, natural brow look with Foolproof Brow Powder! This velvety smooth, 12-hour* formula instantly adheres to hair and skin, transforming sparse brows into full-looking brows. The lighter-to-darker shade duos mimic the gradual look of natural brows, and the eyebrow-shaped pan makes for an easy guided application...no hard lines or mistakes!
Benefits:
- Natural eyebrow look
- Easy guided application
- Includes foolproof blending sponge & spoolie
- 93% said it was easy to apply
To start, the little sponge/spoolie in the kit is useless. Especiallly the sponge side. It doesn't work well at all. That being said, I also felt that the powder was very hard to use and not soft or pigmented enough. That being said, I have been using this powder to fill in ONLY the front of my brows to create a more natural look. I don't know if I just got a defective product. The powder just seems so compact and barley has any product pick up on the brush or apply to the brows. I wouldn't re-purchase this specific item. Relating to this product, I am also not a fan of the brow tool that came in this set. The spoolie works fine but the angled brush came bent and too wide for my liking.
Ka-Brow Cream Gel Eye Brow Color
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
ka-BROW! Cream-Gel Eyebrow Color's all in one cream-gel formula with built-in brush glides on smoothly to easily shape, fill and define brows. The 24-hour* smudge-proof, waterproof** color builds beautifully to create brow looks ranging from soft & natural to bold & dramatic. Magically transform the cap into a full length brush for extra precision and control by pulling the brush out of the cap, flipping it around and snapping it back in. A little goes a long way, so don't be shy about dabbing any excess product off the brush before applying to each brow.
On to my thoughts:
I also wasn't a big fan of this product. Again, I didn't like the little brush that came with this product. That being said, I also feel like it was hard to use and wasn't as pigmented as I thought it was going to me. I honestly thought it was going to be similar to Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow but it wasn't at all. I think the brush may have more to do with it but I still am not a fan. I'm going to mess around with this and try it out some more but so far, I wouldn't repurchase this.
Goof Proof Brow Pencil Easy Shape & Fill
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
Anyone can be an expert with this super easy brow - filling and shaping pencil! Goof Proof Brow Pencil features a custom goof - proof tip that instantly shapes, defines & fills in brows. Use the wide base to fill & shape, building color with a couple of strokes. Then use the pointed edge to define the "tail" of your brow. The soft, glide on color creates naturally full beautiful brows & the spoolie - brush effortlessly blends the 12 - hour* waterproof** color.
On to my thoughts:
I really like this brow pencil! I do agree that its easy to use and fill (if you have thicker brows). I think it may be harder for people with super thin brows. I think the pigmentation on the product is good but also not TOO pigmented where if you make a mistake its going to get messy. I use this product the most out of all the products as I can quickly fill in my brows for work. I also like that a spoolie is attached on the other end. I would repurchase this product.
Precisely My Brow Pencil Ultra-Fine Shape & Define
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
Transform shapeless, undefined brows with just a few flicks of Precisely, My Brow Pencil. The custom ultra-fine tip makes adding detailed definition to your brows easy, by drawing incredibly natural-looking, hair-like strokes that last up to 12-hours.* This rich, waterproof** pencil is ideal for spot filling sparse or over-tweezed areas and the smudge-proof formula is firm enough for precise application yet glides on effortlessly to bring symmetry to your brows and your entire face.
On to my thoughts:
I love this brow pencil too! This might be my favorite. Its definitely more precise and can give a sharper brow. It would be better than Goof Proof Pencil for people with thinner brows. You can create thin hair strokes and it has good pigmentation and again not TOO pigmented at the same time. I also like the spoolie on this as well. I would definitely repurchase this product as well.
Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta site:
I already own this product and was already a fan. This is one of the first Benefit brow products that I have tried. I really love how small the spoolie brush is and that the gel has a tiny to help fill in your brows. I agree that it does add volume and help finish off your brow look. I would definitely repurchase this.
Here are some swatches of the products:
L-R: Fool Proof Brow Powder (light and dark shade), Precisely, My Brow Pencil, Goof Proof Pencil, Ka-Brow, and Gimme Brow Gel
Overall, I was extremely happy that I bought this set. Its's a great deal and the color I chose was spot on. Even thought I didn't LOVE every product in the set, I did like/love enough for the purchase to be worth it. As you have read, I would definitely repurchase 3 of the 5 products in the kit. I also highly recommend High Brow to highlight and clean up around your brows.
