Beautiful Brows Indeed!
5So...I don't really get why this product is getting so many bad reviews?! It's the only brow pencil that I really LOVE. After reading all the not-so-good reviews, I simply had to voice my own opinion. I have blonde hair and dark eyebrows. If I use a blonde pencil it looks stupid, if I use black; they look way too dark and if I use brown; it looks totally wierd.....FINALLY I have found a colour that works! GREY!...I mean, why don't any other make up brands sell grey eyebrow pencils!? It's perfect for my brows. I can't express how happy I am with Boots for this pencil! Not only does it look great but it applies great too. It has a wonderful brush on the end to shape the brows and brush out any 'thick' bit of product (for times when I'm a little heavy-handed). The pencil itself is too long for my make up bag but that's a good thing really because it means there's a lot for your money. As for the other reviews...I haven't really had too many problems sharpening it. There has been a few times where it has broken off but if you sharpen gently with a quality sharpener you should be okay. Also be careful not to drop the brow pencil or bang it around too much because it may break the product inside, dooming it to a life of breaking! In conclusion, I LOVE this product. It is a staple in make up bag and will continue to be, until Boots stop making it (which I hope is never!)

Really disappointing!!!
1This pencil was great until I came to sharpen it. It will not sharpen, just keeps crumbling away. Such a shame because the actual pencil is really good. Waste of time and money and so frustrating!!!

Great for the first use - rubbish after that.
1Like has been mentioned before I found that when I tried to sharpen this the wood splintered and left behind clumps and a plastic coating - trying to peel this away just resulted in the pencil itself crumbling away. Very disappointing because the actual pencil was great but I had to throw it out after just a few uses.

Waste of money
1What a complete waste of time this morning when I tried for 10 minutes to sharpen this brow pencil. It just does not allow sharpening as it has some sort of plastic inside the wood and around the "lead" which crumbles and the pencil breaks off every time. I was pleased with it when it was new around 2 months ago.

Dissapointed
1I have very dark brown/black hair so I brought this pencil in the brown, got it home and tried it and it was way too light, would suit you if you had light/medium brown hair. Went back and brought this pencil in the black and it looked too harsh and I have tanned skin as well. I would not recommend either of these pencils if you have dark brown/black hair. Boots please make a dark brown in this pencil!!

Matches perfectly!
4Despite the other bad reviews I must say I do like this product! I have it in no.10 which is brown/black, which was the wrong colour for my mum so she gave it to me. At the time I didn't use eyebrow pencil yet after I started using it it is now my make-up essential! I had pink hair when I first used it so matching my hair didn't matter, although I recently dyed my hair a reddy-brown and have had many compliments on how my hair and brows match (so yes, it should be noted that it is a warm colour with a reddish/ginger tone to it)! I haven't had a single problem with the crumbling mentioned by others and find the pencil itself to glide on smoothly. The brush blends it nicely and shapes my brows well which is definately a bonus, but it can smudge quite easily if you absent mindedly rub it so be careful! (although that's the same for most make-up items!)

waste of money
1Grey eyebrow pencils seem to be disappearing off the shelves, so I was very pleased to find this one, but not for long. Sharpening was a nightmare. The strange inner plastic sheath wrecks any sharpener and the inner core just crumbles. I will look for an eyebrow pencil sharpener as suggested by some reviewers, but judging by the sharpener reviews, I expect my pencil will end up in the bin.

Unusable
1I was so glad to find a really black eyebrow pencil - (Rimmel have sadly discontinued theirs.) Unfortunately, I haven't had the use of it at all as it crumbled away to nothing during my attempts to sharpen it. The "lead" consisted of tiny fragments of colour, held together by a sort of plastic casing. That bit DID sharpen into a jagged edge, as the contents fell out in little bits. I tried several different sharpeners, but all to no avail. Very disappointed with this and will not buy it again.

4it turned out too be orange?! I was quite disappointed considering the price. Although due to a change in hair colour i now used to dark brown pencil and love it!

More red than dark brown
1I found the colour when applied of the dark brown pencil was far too gingery and looked so false. Would not buy again.
