I ordered the shade dope taupe and ended up receiving the pencil in the colour honey blonde too because they put the wrong item in my order. After a few emails though and reiterating that a money off code would not really be of my help to me because of the high shipping cost to the UK they have agreed to send me the correct product and I am waiting on that now.
The packaging of the pencils has a mechanical pencil on the right hand side of the product and the left side contains a spoolie which will be useful when travelling and such as it means you won't have to pack one. However it is worth noting that once the product has been twisted up it cannot be twisted back down which means although you don't use too much product you can't check how much is left or see the true amount you get in the pencil. As mentioned before I have two colours but the pencil is available in 8 colours ranging from a very light blonde colour to a black and most interestingly including two red shades which I have not really every seen in a pencil. I choose my colour based on online swatches from independent reviewers.

The formulation of this stuff is lovely and creamy, it blends out through the brows nicely making it really simple to do your brows as it isn't really possible to not end up with a nice uniform colour and still being able to avoid that block brow look. The pigmentation of the products is great too, however the wear time is less great, these swatches faded quite fast and so does the colour on the brows, setting it with a clear brow gel does help considerably though. I must say though just because of the very good match to my natural hair colour and the ease of application I have been using the product though my brows everyday I have been wearing makeup and I love it. The product on the website retails at $5 which is roughly £3.77 which is a steal for such a good product but you must bear in mind the high shipping cost of at least $15 or £11.34 to get the product into the UK. But overall I must say I love it and if I ever got to the US I may stock up on them so I never run out.
You can buy the pencil here
Until next time...
