Maybelline Define-A-Brow EyeBrow Pencil Review

I have been a huge fan of Maybelline's ExpertWear Eyebrow Pencil for years so I thought that this would be a good item to try. I couldn't have been more spot on if I had tried. It's got an eyebrow brush on one end and an eyebrow pencil that twists up at the other end. I personally don't need the eyebrow brush because my brows aren't that wild but it does come in handy from time to time. As for the actual pencil, I am in love. The tip is so small and it allows you to create hair like strokes. You also have great control over how much product is applied to your brows. I love that because I go back and forth between coloring my hair blonde and dark auburn and with this pencil you can control how dark or light your brows are. The staying power of these pencils is fantastic! I have very oily skin so I am far too familure with products just running off my face. Even without primer the product stays where I need it to. I personally love this product and I would most deffinately repurchase this.

I got this at walgreens for $6.99

Wet n Wild Color Icon Trio Review

After watching review videos about these trios I finally decided to give this drugstore brand a try. I was hesitant because when I hear Wet n Wild I automatically think cheap and useless. This is probably from my preteen days of using cheap makeup before I knew what I was really doing. Now when I think Wet n Wild I think cheap and underrated! I bought the trios Walking on Eggshells and Sweet as Candy. I bought them because they were more on the neutral side and you can't go wrong with neutral shadows. When I first swatched these the first thing I noticed was the great pigmentation. The payoff I got just from barely rubbing my bare finger over the colors was astounding, especially for a drug store brand. The colors blend beautifully. I haven't tried any of the more outrageous colors yet, but I'm dying to. These also have tremendous staying power. I have worn these with both my E.L.F. Eyelid Primer and my Too Face Shadow Insurance and have no problem with fading or creasing. These would be great gifts for makeup newbies since the colors are already labeled and come with directions on how to apply them. It also helps that they are very inexpensive. I say go out and by all of them (that's what I'm slowly doing!).

I got these at Walgreens for $2.99 but I have also seen them at grocery stores and CVS.
