This is the little brow kit that many (myself included) have struggled to source,
it seems one they go on the shelves at Superdrug they sell out within minutes!
Bad times if you are an impatient beauty blogger (*cough cough* me *cough cough*)
but good times for the brows of the UK!
I do want to briefly praise the packaging as not only is it small (it fits inside one of my hands)
but it is completely practical with a large good quality mirror, a pair of tweezers (they are a little blunt
but would do the job for one or two stray hairs) and a duo ended stiff slanted brush.
Not only does it look great but it is sturdy and contains all you need for groomed brows
even if your grooming tends to take place on the back seat of the bus!
The MUA Pro Brow Kit contains two brow shades (two shades of brown), a matte highlighter
a setting wax and of course the applicator and tweezers.
The idea is that you either use one of the brow shades or mix to create a custom blend, apply then go over
the brows with the setting gel to set and then using the light matte shade highlight the brow bone for lift.
The shades are well pigmented but do tend to produce a substantial amount of powder fall out
but they apply with ease and blend into the skin without any problems and once set with the gel
they do wear for around 8 hours before I noticed any signs of fading.
My only gripe with this kit is that it only comes in one colour family, which don't get me wrong
is more than fine if you have brunette brows or even those with fair brows (you can use the highlight option
to fill in your brows) but should you have really dark hair this kit would be useless.
That being said I would bet money on MUA eventually releasing other colour options as they are
pretty on the ball and forever releasing new and often innovative products!
All in all a great little brow kit and for £3.50 it is hard to beat!
MUA Pro Brow Kit * £3.50 and is available from selected Superdrug stores
and the MUA online store - link
Ooh looks great, how do you apply the gel, with your fingers or the brush?

Either or :) I prefer the brush as it is less messy haha!
DeleteI just got this with an order from their online store- looking forward to seeing how it compares to my beloved Sleek brow kit (which does have two colour families, I think, but is double the price!)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I use an eyeliner brush for applying eyebrow wax, will probably use it for the gel too; I prefer the longer handle!
Yep Sleek do at least two shade families at the moment :)
DeleteI find this to be a little less long wearing compared to the Sleek version
but like you said it is half the price so I guess I can't grumble too much ;)
I'm so glad you have done a review on this, when I have money I really want to buy this!

I couldn't agree more MUA kick butt ;)
Deletethis is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAgreed :)
DeletePersonally I think it's too big! I like it though. It doesn't last all day on me, and I prefer my Browzings, but for the price it's brilliant xo
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try browzings but I'll be honest I often just hide my brows under my fringe...haha secret is out ;)
Deleteseems pretty awesome. never tried something from mua but I want it :D
ReplyDeleteIt's a great product to start with :)
DeleteI can't wait to try it out. xo
ReplyDeleteYou must let me know how you get on :)
Delete£3.50?! Bloody hell that's cheap!!! I do love my Brow Zings by Benefit though! XX
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just! I must try that so many people rave about it!
DeleteI've been meaning to pick this up since it was released. It does look really good quality for the price, which is, as usual, bargainous, although I am a little disappointed by the shades as I do have dark eyebrows. But we'll see, this could still work.

I agree my hair is almost black so it is a little too light, fingers crossed they release something deeper soon :)
DeleteThis looks great! Had my eye on the HD Brows palette, but at £3.50 I may have to give this one a go... if I can get hold of it.

For £3.50 I honestly feel you could do a lot worse :) that being said I do love my HD Brow kit haha!
Deletei just recieved this yesterday and i am very happy with it so far. the colors work for me, but i agree, they need more shade options. i was goign to purchase two and give one to my mother and i am really glad i didnt since she has really dark hair! great review!
ReplyDeleteAh that was lucky :) but if you did you would have had a back up ;)
DeleteI love that you import MUA to the states!
Great post love! I'm new to the UK so I'm looking to get some more UK brands :) I got the MUA nail constellation today, will think of this brow powder ;) I'm running out of my own one, the body shop brow and liner kit, it's really very good!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even heard of this before this post! Need to find it now and buy it haha:) seems pretty good for the price :) x
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to pick this up for weeks it's seems to fly out of my super drug I'm getting slightly inpatient know !!! Xxx
