I apologise that this post contains no "real" swatches but my reasons are legit,
this eyebrow pencil lists cocoa butter as one of it's ingredients and that is sadly one of my allergies,
my eye area is too sensitive to risk it for a few photos...sorry about that!
Moving on this pencil is packaged really well, okay it is a typical pencil there's not all that much you can do
to dress it up but unlike some eyebrow pencils this has a cap to keep the brow brush covered
and free from germs and dirt so that alone is a great addition.
The Accessorize Eye Brow Pencils come in two shades - light brown and dark brown
if I was to purchase this for myself I would choose the lighter option but the dark brown
is a great shade option for those with darker hair!
As mentioned this contains cocoa butter making the pencil super soft and easy to apply ( I imagine),
it wasn't so soft that it melted on contact with the paper and lost it's shape but soft in the sense
that it won't tug on the skin and will be easy to blend into the brow for a natural effect.
I would personally set this with a quick coat of clear mascara or whatever your preference is to
ensure it stays put all day, I'm a little saddened I couldn't fully test this as it seems to be a great addition
to the already expansive Accessorize make-up line!
Accessorize Eye Brow Pencils cost £2.95 and available from selected Superdrug and Accessorize stores.

I assume you can buy them in Accessorize too? This is great timing, my Bourgeois has run out and I can't afford a new one at the moment! Student budgets haha! xx
ReplyDeleteHaha it didn't say on the press release but as far as I know yes :)
Deleteoh god being a student sucks I hope you don't have long left :)
such an affordable product and i like the way that it has a cap for the brush so that it is much more hygienic :) I am currently using the Rimmel london eyebrow pencil and the brush on the cap does get a bit dirty which is quite a negative thing. I may have to invest in a new pencil for my brows soon and this one sound quite good for the price. Thanks for sharing~x

I use that one too and I agree the brush does get dirty really quickly! I think this one looks great but I can't fully comment being allergic :( haha!
Deletethank you for the swatch it's quite helpful i'm on the look out for a high street brow pencil that isn't too warm toned but there doesn't seem to be a lot of choice x
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean I struggle finding a good mid toned brown...they all border a little dark or too grey!
DeleteWow, really affordable:)

Isn't it :)
DeleteI need to get my hands on that !
ReplyDeleteYou sure do :)
Delete2 in 1....Looks great! Might give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do :)
DeleteThis looks identical to the MUA eyebrow pencil that's £1, even the brush looks exactly the same. I just bought the MUA one and I really like it but unfortunately for yourself it contains cocoa butter too! It makes me think it could be the same pencil but I don't have the Accessorize one to compare.
