I have been using my Sephora Eyebrow Palette for a week now and I LOVE it.
I have previously used Benefit's Browzings, brow gels from the Body Shop and Bare Escentuals, drugstore pencils and gel like Revlon, etc. and I truly think I've found my HG of eyebrow palettes...at only 12 bucks!

It is a small palette, but a little goes a long way. It comes in two color sets, but each set has two shades of brow powder and a clear wax. It yields a very natural look, it doesn't look like I've done anything to my brows that's too over the top, unlike some of the other products (that would literally warrant a "circus" look...like I drew in my eyebrows, and my eyebrows are not sparse by any means). I think that the combination of a colored powder and a clear wax (rather than a colored wax, pencil, gloss, etc.) grants the most natural looking brow. It gives it much more depth and is not as harsh as a colored wax and powder. That's where the Benefit Browzing set fails...too much color. If the wax were clear, it would be better.
I've been lemming for Anastasia's products for awhile, but after discovering the ease of application and the economical benefit of Sephora's palette, I can't justify spending that kind of money. The MUA reviews of her kits just don't cut it and the prices of her individual products are somewhat expensive.
Sephora also has a 35 dollar kit similar to the kits available from Anastasia (with three stencils, gel, wax, tweezers, etc). If I do get bored with this, and still want to give Anastasia of Beverly Hills a try, I won't buy her kits, but I will try her 38 dollar palette (Brow Ex-press), as it has a clear wax with colored brow powders.

I'm really starting to appreciate Sephora's line of makeup. I have the ever-elusive Blockbuster Palette and use it every single day. No, they might not be as spectacular as some of the more expensive products I've used, but for the money, they are great.
I have another Blockbuster palette once I get through the one I have now (which will take awhile)...and I've used some of their eye pencils...I really want to try their lipgloss pencil, which I hear is awesome. |
