I bought the Maybelline Eye Studio Master Shape Brow Pencil in the colour "Deep Brown" which is the darkest available. I purchased it for around $9 from National Pharmacies as I'm a member, but I believe it's around $11 - $12 from Priceline and currently on sale for just over $5 from Chemist Warehouse.

Maybelline Master Shape By Eyestudio Brow Pencil in Deep Brown

Review:

The item is easy to apply, pigmented, and comes with a complimentary soft grooming brush on the other side of the pencil to brush the eye brows beforehand, and can also be used to blend out the pencil after it's applied to the eyebrows if it appears too harsh etc.

After application

• Easy to apply
• Comes with a grooming brush
• Affordable
• Pigmented
• Stays on for a long time (though the products' longevity can be extended by applying a brow gel)
• Great for minor improvements

• Not the greatest item for people who want to re-shape their brows completely. In that case I'd recommend researching "Anastasia Beverly Hills"- my beautician recommends their products highly.
• Can be clumpy - but the brush helps blend them out
• Pencil gets blunt often

Rating: ★★★★☆

2/5 stars.

The product has only slighly decreased the appearance wrinkles/lines under my eyes and has moisturised the under-eye area to prevent severe creasing of concealers which are the products' only admirable features. Otherwise, it's an average product probably not worth the $29.99 value from Priceline (which is now on sale for only $20 if you'd like to try) but I wouldn't rush to buy it.

I chose the shade 130 in True Beige, pictured above. Be aware that the larger the number does not correspond to a darker shade. Most of you would probably be knowledgeable of that, but I'm mentioning it just in case. A family member purchased 140 - Golden Beige of the foundation and it turned out to be much more orange than my shade even though the shade I purchased (130) was only "one shade" lighter.

Shade 130 - True Beige

The consistency of the foundation is neither runny nor thick. However it's easy to blend, therefore its leaning towards runny. Judging from experience it provides medium to high coverage depending on how much you apply. I found it to be noticeably thicker in consistency in comparison to Rimmel's Match Perfection Foundation which contrastingly provides little coverage of blemishes or redness. 

Having dry skin on the front my nose occasionally denotes that foundation or any type of product placed upon the faltering skin emphasises its dryness. This foundation seems to unfortunately emphasise the dryness as it has a more matte finish rather than a glossy finish considering it doesn't make your face shiny. However, I've found the regions adjacent to my nostrils can feel quite oily subsequent to application of the product despite having a matte finish, therefore I always set my foundation with a transparent powder to relieve that oily feeling, my favourite being Rimmel's Stay Matte Pressed Powder.

I'm not immersed in riches as of the present so it's improbable that a large portion of products bought will be from the high end. If I suddenly find myself submerged in a bath (or preferably 10 baths full) full of $100 notes, then that option could be arranged. Otherwise, products reviewed will be of those only affordable to the desperately scavenging female population, scrounging for 50% discounted items within the darkest corner of Priceline. (The 'Boots' of the UK but I'm not sure of the US equivalent.. Walmart maybe?) No shame if you're sitting behind your screen sweating at the relatability of my proposition. Hell, I'm the woman in that situation pushing people out the way, tugging hair, and generally having fights over the last Rimmel mascara on the shelf. (Disclaimer: I do not support violence of any kind!)
