Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade Review

Eyebrows are one of the most important factors to a complete makeup look.  Ensuring that they are groomed and maintained, helps shape a person’s face.  With that being said; it's important to have good products that can help out with that process.

This weekend I had the opportunity to stop by Sephora and purchase one of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow pomades. I have heard a lot about this product and was not sure I really needed it.  Like most makeup junkies, we often find ways to convince ourselves that we need all the latest and grates makeup out there.   So I went head and purchased the pomade.

Color: Chocolate

Right out of the box
This product comes beautifully packaged in a nice, sleek, black box.  The pomade itself is held in a 4.0g/ 0.14oz, twist top, glass jar.  The packaging resembles a gel liner container (which I have heard the pomade can be used for ).  The bottom of the box describes this product as a: "Waterproof brow color ideal for sculpting, defining, and carving perfectly precise brows that won't fade.  Smudge- free, creamy formula glides on skin and adheres to hair.  Must- have for oily skin and humid climates. Tighten cap to prevent drying."  
The jar itself has Anastasia Beverly Hills written in black writing along the sides with the color of the product displayed on the bottom.  Overall, I love the packaging.  It is beautiful, sleek, and sophisticated but simple and to the point. 

Once you open the jar, the first thing you will notice is the pomades texture and color (which really does look like chocolate).

Swatch without flash

Performance and Consistency 
 Once I opened the product, I swatched it on my arm to view the consistency and the pigmentation. People are definitely right when they say that a little bit goes a LONG way.  With the smallest amount of pomade,  I was able to create the swatch above with just one swipe. The pigmentation is absolutely amazing, not to mention it is extremely creamy and easy to apply.

It is also great because it allows you to work with the product and doesn't dry up on you while you are trying to achieve your desired look.  Once you have completed the application and allow the product to sit, this stuff doesn't budge.  I am not sure if it is truly waterproof as I have not gone in water to test it out. I can tell you that I have accidentally rubbed my face during the day and it did not transfer or dissapear.  Not to mention the longevity of this product is NUTS.  My brows have been able to look exactly the same as I have applied it after 10 hours of wear. I lasts long and tames my brows all at the same time,  which is always a good thing.

Overall 
Overall, I am so impressed by the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade.  It does exactly what it says and truly lives up to the hype.  I have to make another trip to Sephora in the coming weeks to try out a few more shades. 

Price
I almost forgot the mention the price.  This product retails for $24.00 plus tax (Canadian dollars).  Yes, I know, I was also surprised by the price as well.  Don't get me wrong, I love a great deal and I know that some people may feel that this is a bit expensive for a brow product but it is truly worth EVERY penny. Plus your eyebrows will love you for it!

If you are unsure, go to Sephora and ask for a tester and see if you like it before you commit to purchasing it.  If you love it, buy it, if not, you won’t have to worry about having to return it.
