I am always on the hunt for new eyebrow products and when I saw the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer, I knew that I wanted it and had to have it. However currently being on a student budget with no job, it became apparent to me that wasting £16 on an eyebrow pencil when I already have so many would be stupid. So instead, I went onto trusty eBay and found this W7 Twist and Shape Brow pencil for £2.99 which I thought would be a perfect dupe due to the angled end just like the Anastasia one. Here are my thoughts:
So I have heard of the W7 brand before however have never tried any of their products. All I know is that it is a budget brand who sells eye shadow palettes that are good dupes for the Urban Decay ones. I found this pencil to be very waxy however usually I apply powder to my brows so that may be why. The angled tip did make it simple to apply and once combed through with a brush it blended nicely. It also stays put and looks fine all day.
However I got it in the shade Blonde and as you can see it is more like a brunette shade. This did not affect me as I do have brown eyebrows however if you have really light ones then this definitely would not work for you. I am also a bit scared that the angle of the pencil may become a bit distorted after a few uses so this will definitely have to be watched.
To conclude, this is a good eyebrow pencil for £2.99 but its just a bit bleugh as you can tell from the little I can write about it. It is definitely worth a try if you are considering buying the Anastasia one and do not want to fork out the money straight away. I am definitely going to stick for my powder for now however will consider the Anastasia one in the future.
Have you ever tried this product?
I recently just got the ABH one with a voucher i had but i want to try the S&G one too to see how they compare. I find with W7 the shades can be a bit off but i guess that is due to them being a cheaper brand but they could still get the shades right haha

it definitely has its pros and cons. Yeah the ABH one sounds amazing!
DeleteThis looks like a good alternative to the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow wiz! I am desperate to get back into using pencils, I use a pomade at the mo but my eyebrows rub off so quickly! Thanks for the recommendation! <3
