I purchased the e.l.f. eyebrow compact this past week and I have to say I am really impressed. For years, I used Benefit's Brow Zings compact. It comes with a pair of miniature tweezers which, in theory, seems like a good idea but, over time, I ended up with a handful of the little guys that I just didn't know what to do with. I always reached for my full size Tweezermans and never the little mini one. Finally, I stopped buying the Benefit compact and used an eyeliner pencil which was the right shade of ashy brown that disappears into and yet subtly accentuates a dark brow. The eyeliner pencil lasted me an incredibly long time, however, as I got closer to the end, the more difficult it became to sharpen it. The tip kept snapping off and I was losing a lot of product. I noticed that the e.l.f. line was on sale at my local pharmacy and decided to pick up the brow compact. It really looked like a dupe of the Benefit compact with a dark cream shade and a lighter shade to get a natural ombre effect. And for the price, it really is a steal. I use an e.l.f. angled brush to apply it and it is so easy and effortless to apply and blend. I got mine in the shade Medium. There was only two shades available at the pharmacy, Light and Medium which really surprised me but a search on Amazon showed that there is a Dark shade available which I likely would have preferred. No more stressing over trying to sharpen a pencil!
