ANASTASIA Beauty Express Kit for Brows and Eyes
9:51:00 PM
If you remember, back on August I put up a teaser post about a product from Anastasia of Beverly Hills (see the post here). I received the product about a month later and now I finally get to put up the review!
It is actually a privilege for me to be able to try one of Anastasia of Beverly Hills product because back in Hollywood, who wouldn't know Anastasia? She is a brow expert that has shaped the brows of the Hollywood's elites such as Madonna, J-Lo, Selena Gomez, Oprah, etc! She is the brow master of the elites! And I can't believe I have one of her product in my hand now.
What I received for review purposes is the Anastasia Beauty Express for Brows and Eyes Kit.
You see, I'm clueless about how to shape my eyebrows properly or what shape really suits my face. Well I did have my eyebrows shaped by professionals twice; first was by my make-up artist when I got married, and secondly by another make-up artist when my sister in law got married. But they only lasts for a couple of months, once they grew longer there's nothing I could do to re-create the shape.
I've tried shaping them by plucking them with tweezers but I just couldn't get the right shape, it would only turns out bad! In one attempt to shape my eyebrows with a tweezer, my left eyebrow is overly thin and un-defined while my right eyebrow has a very weird angle to it, so both eyebrows look different one another, it was a disaster hahaha..
So anyway, I love this special brow kit from Anastasia Beverly Hills that can really help girls like me. It's a "brow kit for dummies" ^o^
There are two different color variant available for this kit: one for Brunette, and one for Blonde. Of course I got the Brunette one because I have dark color hair. Here's what's inside the Beauty Express brow Kit :
- a brown wax cream,
- a brow powder duo,- a brown wax cream,
- an eyeshadow duo,
- five different stencils,
- an angled brush,
- instruction card.
The kit itself has a very practical compact case in dark fuchsia color (in a snakeskin-like pattern) that makes it easy to carry on your travel bag. It has a magnetic closure and inside you will find detailed instruction on how to use the kit.
The top part has three different pots. The left one is the brow wax which will help your brow powder adhere, to set brows and keep them in place all day. This wax is sheer and wouldn't show any trace when used. It does not feel oily or leave residue at all.

The middle pot is the brow powder duo. It has two different colors: a
lighter shade and a darker shade of brown. You can choose which color
that match your brow's natural color, or you can mix both. The right pot
is the eyeshadow/highlighter duo. It comes in two types: matte and shimmer. This
gives you option to put on what you like best. You can also put this one
on your brow bone or just below your brow's arch as a highlighter.
The kit also include an angled brush and some stencils to help you get
your ideal brow shape. There are five different type of stencils which
you can choose according to your ideal preference or desire.
My choice of the stencil is the Petite Arch, because I have a small face and the petite arch has the shortest brow shape out of all five stencils, and after trying it on my face it turns out really nice! I now finally found my arch ^o^
To use the stencil, watch the instructional video HERE.
The kit has some kind of a
magnifying mirror inside it so it enables you to look closely in the
mirror when you put on your brow powder, but I personally prefer to use
my regular little mirror instead.
The Beauty Express Brow Kit is $39.50 at Anastasia of Beverly Hills website.
My Take:
After using it for several weeks, I found that this brow kit is really easy to use, even for beginners like me. It helps me find my perfect eyebrow shape, and it helps me define my face because I really see much difference in my face (eye area) when I compare my old photo with my newer ones.
The shades are also perfect and would match a wide range of skin color. The end result is very natural-looking. I also love that there are instructions included, and you can also go to Anastasia's website for reference. The angled brush has the perfect length so it's really easy and so comfortable to use. The brush tip is not flimsy at all, it has soft surface so it enables a steady and smooth application.
Overall, I love the result and the practicality of the kit, I love the accessible way of using it (beginner-friendly), and I also love the quality of the sturdy case and the quality of the powders and wax. This kit is super recommended! :D

Love your 'Brow kit for dummies' analogy!
ReplyDeleteHi, may I know where did you bought that Eyebrow kit? I really want to have it, but it's hard to find it here.... I'm from Indonesia....
ReplyDeleteHope you reply soon....
Thanks ^^
Hi Zabeth,
ReplyDeleteActually the product was sent to me for free by Anastasia's PR team for review purposes, so I didn't buy it myself. And I'm not sure where you could find it here in Indonesia but my suggestion is to try eBay (most of the buyers are willing to send worldwide), or you could ask Anastasia team by filling in the question form at their website: http://anastasia.net/help.php?section=contactus&mode=update
Just tell them you're from Indonesia and where could you buy this product.
I hope this helps...Let me know if you found a way to buy it!
