This is a nice little compact. I found the tweezers too small for anything but emergency use, and I'm not the type of gal to carry my brow kit with me so didn't need those, really. The wax is nice and I like the powder. Good little brushes. A bit pricy, but since I think it will probably last me my entire life (and possibly well into my next life), it's reasonable value.

I can't say how much I love this product! I'm fair skinned and fair haired and others have said that the fair for this would be too dark. I didn't find that at all, but I use a really light hand with them. My brows are very sparse and even missing in places. This filled them in, gave them the right shape and length around my eyes. Made my eyes pop! I would definitely get this again.

A very nice and compact kit for your brows - so far the best I found amongst all brow pencils and kits. It lasts forever and although a bit pricey I think well worth the investment. The brushes allow an easy application and achieve a very natural final look which perfectly defines your brows.
I've never used the tweezers supplied as I found them too small and tricky to work with but a nice touch in including them in the kit.

If you fill in your brows every day this kit is an excellent value as it will last you a long time. I can go through a softer brow pencil in about two months, but this kit I ended up throwing out (when it got too old) with still plenty of product unused. The brushes work really well, though you need to be diligent about washing them as the wax will make them mucky and effect how well they work. The tweezers are not great, but if you're in to your brows you probably have that covered so would only use them if you're in a pinch (haha, get it?). There are only three shades so might not work for everyone's colouring; I recommend going for a powder that is lighter than your brow as the wax will darken its appearance slightly.

I am a huge fan of Benefit cosmetics, but not such a huge fan of their prices. I'm generally a drug store vs. department store kind of girl, but for Benefit I make the exception. That being said, I save up all my Shoppers Optimum points to "splurge" on Benefit cosmetics. YAY

This is my most recent purchase, and I love it! I have had my eye on it (no pun intended!) for a while now and finally picked it up. The kit comes in 3 shades (light, medium and dark) and contains wax for shaping brows, powder for setting brows, tweezers, hard angle brush and blending brush. It also comes in an adorable little compact (Benefit always has great packaging but this one has got to be my favourite) with a mirror AND a little tutorial/lesson in the package. Awesome!

Words of wisdom: When I went to the Beauty Boutique at Shoppers Drug Mart I was lucky enough to get some advice from a girl who knew all about Brow Zings. She said in her experience it is a very dark product and that I should get the "light". Its funny because I had gone in there intending to ask if dark would be dark enough for my jet black hair, and was ironically told that I should use light. I was skeptical but she put it on me and WOW was she RIGHT!!! Anything darker than this would give a really harsh eyebrow look, and that's DEFINITELY NOT what you want. (A sad note for my fair skinned/light haired friends, this product might not be for you. It would be way too dark I think...)

In short, if you're looking for natural looking eyebrows and want a cute little compact that does it all, look no further.

I am very happy with this product and will definitely repurchase it when its finished (which will take an exceptionally long time I believe because you use so little of the product each time.) My only minor complaint is that the angle brush is not as stiff and I would like for defining my brows, and I may look into getting a stiffer brush for this reason.

I bought this in the Beauty Boutique at Shoppers Drug Mart on a whim. This is the best brow product that I have tried so far. The compact comes with a shade for the brows and a brow gel to tame them. it also comes with 2 flat brushes (one slanted), a small mirror and tweezers. Overall I think it is pretty good quality for the price.

I like how I can build up the amount of colour that I want. The brow gel is also great at setting them. The product does look like it's going to run out anytime soon. But when it eventually does.. I would definitely buy this again.

My eyebrows remain tamed and defined with this cute compact. I bought it over a year ago and it still has a lot of usage to go. This compact has brown wax, brown shadow powder, 2 brushes for wax and powder, and a little tweezer. 30$ is a bit hefty but you get so much for it and it will last you a very long time!
