#KenyaIman: July 2014

If you know me, you know I love MAC and am in there 75% of the time. I'm currently in love with their eyebrow pencil. Everyone knows that well-done brows can really enhance your facial features and is a huge contributing factor to having flawless make up. I am aware that it's not a brand new product of theirs or anything, but I started using it in April. Prior to buying this eyebrow pencil I'd always used drugstore ones, ie. Sleek and Rimmel. I do still use the Rimmel one occasionally, but I do prefer my mac.

I hadn't planned to spend a great amount on a brow pencil, but after having it tried on me in the MAC, I knew I had to purchase it.

MAC describes the product as: 'Self-propelling, self-sharpening, brow defining. Confidently adds what you need: shape, colour, density in one streamlined tool. Like a pen, creates its own just-right point. Provides definition, shape, deepens/fills in colour. Creates striking arches. Easy to tote around. No sharpener needed.'

Let me share with you the pros and cons of this product for me.

Pros:

You don't have to sharpen it - this means less hassle. The pencil is self-sharpening, which means you don't have to sit there in the morning whilst you get ready for school/work sharpening it, and have it break and waste product (and time!)
It's staying power is second to none - it lasts all day, and it lasts in all weather!
The pencil is super thin, allowing you to create the perfect arches and defines your brows, and the product description was spot on - it is just like a pen. I found with the drugstore eyebrow pencils, they were thicker and hence, came out so much more creamier and you'd have a lot more tidying up underneath the brow to do with concealer, but with this one, as it is just like a pen, you have minimal tidying up underneath the brow to do.
It very pigmented, you do not need to use a lot of this product to get a prominent colour.

Cons:

For the amount you pay for this product (£13.00) it doesn't last as long as you'd probably anticipate. You may need a replacement up to 4 weeks later (if you're using the pencil everyday) I try to use as sparingly as I can.
Since it's a twist up pencil, you have no clue as to when it's going to be finished. You could be mid brow and it dies on you!
