FAVOURITE: Eye Brow Kits from KIKO and Along Came Betty


KIKO Eyebrow Expert Styling Kit, L-R: wax, light-coloured powder, dark-coloured powder

Along Came Betty Br-Wow Kit, L-R: light-coloured powder, dark-coloured powder, wax, HD powder

If there's one part of my make up routine that I love doing the most, it's my eyebrows. I didn't start doing anything to my eyebrows until I turned 16 which is really weird and strange. And I think that because of that, I embrace it a lot these days. Your eyebrows frame your entire face and changing the way they look can completely change the way you look. For a while now I've been using two eyebrow kits and you know what? I love them both so much that I can't decide which one is better. I have used pencils in the past but like I've said, I enjoy doing my eyebrows so the whole "brush, powder, wax" makes me prefer kits over pencils. 




























The KIKO Eyebrow Styling Kit* comes in two different colours; one for deep brunettes and black haired people and the other for brunettes, redheads and blondes.It contains a wax, a light-coloured powder, a dark-coloured powder, some tweezers, an angled brush and a mini spoolie brush. First of all the brushes are great quality. I normally throw away mini brushes that come with kits but these ones stand on their own very well. The tweezers are also amazing and I love the addition of them in this kit - it makes it perfect for travelling. As well as the tweezers the mirror is a great little extra as it means you can do your brows on-the-go. The powders are spot on in pigmentation - they're not so pigmented that the brows look ridiculous or too obvious but the powder is soft enough to create a natural looking brow. The wax then keeps the brows in place for the rest of the day. You can buy the KIKO Eyebrow Styling Kit* here and it retails for £13.90.




























The Along Came Betty Br-Wow Kit* comes in just one colour but it contains a light-brown powder, a dark-brown powder, a wax, an HD powder to soften the brows and a double-sided angled brush and spoolie brush. They Along Came Betty range is one that gives Soap & Glory a run for my money and if money was no object, I'd own all of their products. The ones I've tried so far are really great in quality for the price of them. This is no different. The powders are soft and pigmented enough to fill in the brows without giving you a "Scouse-brow" and the wax is wonderful at deepening the appearance of the brows and holding them in place. What I really love about this kit is the HD powder which is included. The HD powder really does soften the look and I don't know, I can't explain it, it just makes the brows look "done" and better. It's a lovely addition and I don't think I've ever seen it in any other brow kit. You can buy the Along Came Betty Br-Wow Kit* here and it retails for £5.99.
What do you use on your eyebrows? Have you tried any of these kits before?
