Don't forget the Refill Cartridge!
Reviews
This review is for both the holder and the refill in some ways, since they work together. The refills will not twist up without the holder and I'm not really sure what I would do with the holder without a refill, but together they make a really nice brow pencil! The twist mechanism is smooth and very easy to turn, and the pencil is slim but with a bit of weight to it, it feels really sturdy. The transition from matte to shiny iridescent finish on the pencil is gorgeous, and also gives it just enough color to be able to find it in my makeup bag easily.
I was a bit confused at first because the pencil doesn't have a lid exactly, the refill fits into the top of the holder and then there isn't another piece that covers the pencil portion, you just retract the lead down into the pencil until you're ready to use it again. What looks like a lid in the photos is just the section where the holder twists. Even without a lid, though, mine hasn't dried out or changed texture at all, the lead still draws on powdery soft. It stays fairly powdery and I find it really easy to blend and soften with the spoolie brush on the other end, I usually fade and soften the fronts of my brows this way. I've been using Brunette and it is a really nice light brown that isn't too warm but isn't too grey either, it's a really flattering shade for those of us in the light to medium-brunette range. I definitely plan on buying more refills!
