Paging Shanus

@Shanus. Remember when I recently asked you if you'd heard about a new microblading eyebrow pencil? Well, the Q had it on this morning and they claim they're the only ones who have it. You might want to watch the video and check it out. I ordered one to try. It makes a very realistic brow. A354220. They recommend taupe for people with gray hair.

@Kachina624

Thank you for posting about this product, looks great! I must confess I have no idea what true microblading eyebrows is but the microblading ink end on this is what I have wanted. Altho it will take me a bit of practice, I love the whispies? you can get with this duo. I watched the video and it sold me, I got the taupe too.

I have used up a couple of Skinn's eb pencils with the gel on one end, love setting gel. I have no doubt the ink will stay put but will have to see how the pencil wears. I was looking at UDs gel but think I will wait to see if I need it with this new pencil. Their gel looks nice too!

(very nice of the Q to offer free shipping today, thanks QVC)

I've read about this product but haven't seen it for sale until today. I'm anxious to try it. I think the name " microplaning is very misleading. It sounds like an olympic sport.

I’m so glad my curiosity got the best of me and I opened this thread! Thank you for posting it. I just watched the video and ordered it. This sounds like just what I need. I’ve tried just about everything on my brows.

Microblading & microplaning both sound like sports! Lol!

@Kachina624 Thanks for the heads up! Will check it out.

Calling an eyebrow pencil “microblading” is quite misleading. That procedure involves a brow tattoo that lasts for many months and requires touch ups.

Re: Paging Shanus

SeaGal — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 16:15:54 GMT

@Shanus

The brow pencil is not sold as microblading, the name Brow Blade is a play on microblading, I am guessing. On one end it offers a precise brush able to topically lay down very thin whispie lines with long wearing ink to mimic microblading for those that dont want to do a very painful procedure and the upkeep.

Looks like many are interested in trying it as all 4 colors are on waitlist by this morning. The video from yesterday with host Leah was much better than this current video with host Amy imo.

I watched the video, and this looks like something I'd like to try. None of the colors look right for me though. I think the taupe would be too light, and the browns too dark. She didn't describe one color because it had sold out. I think she should have described it anyway since it would obviously come back in stock.

I went to Urban Decay's website, and this actually comes in seven colors. They don't have a picture or description of the colors though, and it says the product will be coming soon.

@NickNack Maybe it’s available at Sephora or dept. store where you can try it out....Brow colors are hit or miss. Good luck finding a shade that works for you. Keep us posted.

@Shanus On the video Amy said this was exclusive to QVC right now. I definitely think it seems like something you should see the colors in person before ordering though.

I'd be willing to bet other companies are racing as fast as they can to market a similar product. There's a real void in the cosmetics industry for an easy to use eyebrow product that produces realistic results. I know; I've bought one of everything trying to find a good one.

Good morning @Kachina624. I’m still finding eye shadow the way to go for the most natural look. Most medium to large sized palettes have dark grays, grayish taupes, a few shades of brown...I’ve gone from taupe when hair was dark to a grayish brown now in the BB Light Brow Kit.

The most important thing (to not get an “instagram brow”), don’t fill in the entire area w/ pencil or other dense product. The most natural look is creating a shadow of the hair through the brow. You can also wet the shadow on the brush to fill in an area w/o hair. Set w/ hairspray on toothbrush.

Too harsh a brow can add 15 yrs. to a face. You’re so right that a new brow product comes out every minute claiming to be the best...makes choosing even more difficult.

@Kachina624

Have you received yours yet? My Brunette Betty arrived & I tried it this morning for the first time. VERY disappointed. The “ink” part that is supposed to draw on the look of individual hairs is worthless on mine. It is very watery and the color is lighter than the brow pencil side. Even on bare skin the ink side is almost invisible. And no nice thin lines; watery ones that expand. Maybe mine is defective?

Re: Paging Shanus

Kachina624 — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 02:40:11 GMT

@willdob3. Yes, I got mine a couple days ago. I don't know whether it's me or the product but I made a huge mess out of my eyebrows. I decided there was a steeper learning curve than I wanted to climb so it's going back. I agree, the liquid stuff scarcely showed and the pencil broke off a couple of times as it's so thin. Pretty pricey for what you get.

Re: Paging Shanus

willdob3 — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 02:58:43 GMT

@Kachina624

I’m sorry to hear it isn’t just me. I noticed how thin the pencil was and I was surprised I didn’t break it despite being extra careful.

When they demonstrated it on the Q, the ink part was dark enough to see clearly & it was obviously not this thin or at all runny. I wonder if shaking it up well would help...

Re: Paging Shanus

Kachina624 — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 03:10:23 GMT

@willdob3. I'm sure the taupe I ordered was probably even lighter than your brown. I've got it packed up to send back so I won't be shaking it.

Re: Paging Shanus

Daysdee — Thu, 24 Jan 2019 03:27:15 GMT

I received it and I am returning it. The Brunette Betty color was way too dark for me. I looked online and it isn't sold at Sephora yet.
