Review (3/5): Confusing 🤔
So - this eyebrow kit arrived and I was pretty excited because it had so much "stuff" in it. I wasn't sure what it was all for, so I actually went to read the instructions. The only instructions that came with the kit were on the bag containing the "purple things" which said something about using a brush. A brush wasn't included in the kit, or in the description of the product ( in fact, it says that "no brush is needed" in the product description.)
A this point, I am thinking that perhaps you "may" use a brush, but that the kit is really for the eyebrow stamper (which IS included). One side note: I have the "expensive" version of the eyebrow stamper kit, and I like it, but none of the eyebrow shapes easily fit my eyebrows, so I was looking for more variety in shapes. Okay, that said, there are tons of eyebrow shapes in this kit. So bonus for that. But back to how to use it and how do the shapes fit in with the purple things?
So now I am still trying to wing it, so I put the tiny cord into one of the purple things and think "maybe" you slide the eyebrow shapes behind the purple thing. Besides the fact that the cord was SO TIGHT I couldn't think straight, even after 5 minutes of fiddling with the shapes to get them inside the purple thing and lined up, I go to stamp it with the stamper - and no go. The purple things block the stamper rendering the shapes useless.
At this point, I go to the internet to search for the solution, and some kind soul had posted a video using the purple things! 🙌🏼 However, she was not using any forms at all - just the purple mask things and a brush and some eyebrow powder to fill in the mask-things.
So, I am finally getting that the purple things are something totally unrelated to the eyebrow stamp that I bought the kit for and I go ahead and use the shapes and the stamp just like the more expensive brand. The eyebrow shapes are much, much flimsier than the "expensive" brand, which actually might be better. Not better for cleaning, but better for trying to hold in place while you work your other arm around with the stamper.
In the end, I thought that the stamper worked just fine, and I liked the variety of shapes which actually enabled me to find a shape closer to my own eyebrows. I'm not a creamy/stick eyeshadow gal, but they were nice colors for those that are. I haven't tried the eyebrow "soap" yet either, but I probably will. Heck, I may even try the purple things eventually just to see if it's easier than the stamp. I would definitely have to get a longer cord though 🤕.
