Senna Double Brow Brush

Please don't forget to enter my Senna Brow Shaper Duo Giveaway. It ends June 30, 2012 at 11:50 p.m. EST (Eastern time).


This is continuation to Senna Brow Shaper Duo.
I'm going to review the Senna Double Brow Brush that I received from The Makeup Show at their Blogger Preview Event.
Product Review: Senna Double Brow Brush

Where to purchase: Senna studios and online at sennacosmetics.com
Price: $20

Made in Korea

Description from site: This multi tasking brow tool is all you need to groom brow hairs, then apply and blend brow colors. 6" long.
Thoughts: When I received the Senna Brow Shaper Duo, I was extremely excited! I've been wanting to try an eyebrow that came with wax. Then I realized I needed a brush and thankfully, they gave us one. To be honest, my excitement on the brush was not as thrilled as the eyebrow kit. I'm not the biggest fan of double ended brushes. The reason is because I store my brushes in a cup. When I have a double ended brush, one end (usually the one inside the cup) usually gets ruined.

Let's talk about the packaging. I love their cute logo! It's a cute female clown I believe. I also love the color of the handle, blue.
On the other side of the handle, it says "Brow 1". I'm not too sure why. :/

Now for the brush...
The hair is extremely soft and it did not shed during washing. It's also not firm. Most brushes that are not firm from my experience, the hairs tend to split easily and fall out of shape. I've washed this brush several times and it's still in it's shape. It definitely does not split! It's actually a pretty good quality hair. I also love how lightly you can use the brush and the quality on my eyebrow is pretty impressive. It comes out dark even with light strokes. I also love that I can dip it into the wax, and the quality of the hair (brush not my eyebrow) does not change. It's a great versatile brush. It can be used dry or wet from the wax.
The other end is the wand to shape the eyebrow hairs after applying the wax. Since the wand hair has thick set of hairs, it shapes the eyebrow hair really well.

Since I've been putting the wand end of the brush in the cup, I'm actually pretty impressed it has gotten ruined. My opinions on double ended brush has changed a bit. I don't mind this one, but I still wouldn't want double ended brushes with both ends being hairs.

Pros:
* Simple packaging.
* Cute logo.
* Blue handle.
* Good quality hair.
* Soft hairs.
* Does not shed.
* Does not split.
* Need soft strokes.
* Firm/thick wand.

Cons:
* Hard to find in stores.
* Double ended brush.

Would repurchase: Yes.

Senna Brow Shaper Duo and Senna Giveaway

In March, I attended The Makeup Show. It's an experience I will never forget! :) I was very lucky to also attend the Blogger Preview. I learned a great deal about application, new products, and I got to take some home. I already reviewed one of the products I received, Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Natural Lipstick. Now I'm going to review my second product I received from Senna Cosmetics.
It came in a cute, blag bag!
Inside the bag, I received three Senna Brow Shaper Duo and Double Brow Brush (I will review this next time) with a catalog to Senna Cosmetics. I checked out their website and they carry amazing makeup! They even have beauty classes if you want to attend. :)
Here are the Senna Brow Shaper Duo in Ebony Duo, Brunette Duo, and Blonde Duo.

Where to purchase: Senna studios and online at sennacosmetics.com
Price: $20 for 0.05 oz/ 1.5 g

Made in USA

Description on the back: Boosts brow color, fills in sparse areas, adds the look of fullness and sets brow shape in seconds.
Ingredients:
Thoughts: When I received this product, I was pretty excited! I always wanted to try an eyebrow filler with wax. I've only used pencils and eyeshadow-type products.
Here's how Ebony Duo looks in natural light. This is more true to color than the one above taken with flash.
Here's a swatch of the brow filler. The one on the left is only the brow color. The one on the right is the brow color with the wax.

Before I mention more about the brow filler, let me tell you about my eyebrows.
I'm a typical Asian girl who hardly has much hair, and the ones I do have are thick. They're also long so I cut them into shape. I don't really tweeze much. Maybe about three or four that's out of place.
Here's how my eyebrows look with the brow color only. Pretty big difference eh?
Here's the end product with the wax on top of the brow color. In my opinion, I think the color is a perfect match for my hair. I also like how natural I can make it look. If I want more a dramatic look, I can apply more brow color.

I've been using this for three weeks and I'm pretty impressed with the quality. They're really easy to apply, the brow color is extremely pigmented, and it lasts all day long. The only thing I noticed is that the wax does not completely keep my brows in shape. If you notice in the middle of my brow (close to the arch), my hair falls. No matter how much wax I apply, they just fall. Either I have extremely thick hair or the wax isn't too strong. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with this product. Actually I really like this a lot! :)

Pros:
* Simple packaging.
* Easy to carry.
* Pigmented.
* Easy to apply.
* Versatility of the color.
* Wax darkens the color and shape the brows.
* Long lasting.
* Not tested on animals.

Cons:
* Hard to find in stores.
* Does not come with a brush.
* Hard to shape thick, heavy hair.

Would repurchase: Yes!!!
