THE VERDICT:

There are a lot of hidden gems in department store brands that are waiting to be discovered, and In2It’s Brow Powder is one of them. I’ve been hearing and reading a lot of good stuff about this brow trio, so I picked it up during Robinsons’ Beauty Bound event. Indeed, this baby deserves your bucks!

I love it for so many reasons. It has three varying shades of brown to match my mood, hair, and whatever look I’m gunning for everyday. The powders are housed in a sleek and sturdy plastic snap- top compact, albeit I would still advise you to handle it with care in case you have it or you’re planning to purchase it, because the screws that hold the case and cover are the common fatalities of these kinds of compacts. (Even expensive brands are not spared from this caveat) It has a useful nylon angled eyebrow brush that feels very sturdy. The texture of the powders are semi- chalky, yet there's minimal to no fall out at all.

Here’s a swatch pic of the three shades:

# 1 is a caramel beige shade that looks deceivingly light, yet becomes pigmented miraculously when applied on the brows. It’s best for people who have heavy hands, and end up over applying makeups. It’s great for girls with fair skin tones, and it works equally fine on girls with medium to dark skin tones as well.

# 2 is my favorite because it reminds me so much of Benefit Brow Zings at such an affordable price. Well, it’s a tad darker than Brow Zings. If I want strong brows, I use this one.

# 3 is a charcoal- brown shade that will look gorgeous on gals with black hair. It’s not too strong and bold unlike the color Black.

If you’re in the habit of wetting powders, I advise you to skip the deed whenever you’re using this because it’s pigmented as it is. The colors may become too bold and strong if you use water on them.

HOW TO USE:

Using the angled brow brush, map your brows' shape.

Start filling in the gaps using the same brush. Apply the brow powder sparingly, and build it to achieve your desired coverage. Blend evenly.

Sorry! I just realized I didn’t blend the powder on my brows properly. :p I used # 2 in this pic.

However, I find that this product is not waterproof, as advertised. I sprinkled water on it, rubbed it for a bit, and it’s gone. But it can withstand sweat and sebum, so I think this caveat is forgivable. Just don’t go swimming with this on because you might end up staining your face.

Overall, I love it. In fact, it became one of my February Favorites. I’ve used it straight for a week, and my beloved Brow Zings went on a hiatus! In spite of its affordability, I find that its quality is that of an expensive brow product. For beauties on a budget, I highly recommend this brow kit. It’s pigmented, easy to use, and affordable! It can even double as a smoky eyeshadow kit too!
