Enter Soap and Glory to save the day. I've heard mixed reviews of their Archery brow pen. Some love it, some don't. Didn't bother trying it cause I found this little beauty. The Soap and Glory Archery 2-in-1 Brow Filling Pencil and Brush. This is a double ended product with a pencil on one end and a spoolie on the other. Spoolie = bonus number 1.
Bonus number 2 - Don't need to bother with pencil sharpeners. This is one of those rolly-uppy deals. Now, for most products this is a pain in the bit you sit on, but because this is SO THIN you don't need to worry about it, it still looks super natural. What I usually do though is use it more on one side so that it's slightly slanted, and if I need a sharp end, I turn it round. I usually only have to do this for the tail of my brow and even then it's rare the pencil as is, isn't thin enough.
The formula is super long lasting. I had an unfortunate incident last week where I fell asleep in class and woke up with an eyebrow on my arm, but that has never happened with this. Yes, I am admitting I have fallen asleep in class more than once.
The Archery pencil comes in 2 colours, Hot Chocolate and Blondshell. I use Hot Chocolate but it is a bit reddish for me, and I feel Blondshell would be too light. I have quite cool-toned brows, but I also don't have enough of them for that to matter much, but if you're not full on pencilling them in like me, and are just using to fill in sparse hairs....actually, I don't think that would matter much either. If you're trying to match cool-toned hair though, this shade might not be for you. I have blue hair, so I don't really care what colour my eyebrows are!
If you're thinking about the Anastasia Brow Wiz and aren't sure, I'd definitely give this a shot as an alternative. I'm on my second one, and I really love it!
