Avon Eyebrow Pencil vs. Wet n Wild pencils (Coloricon)

Because I dye my hair all the time, I like to color in my eyebrows. Right now I have redish hair and my natural color is like a dirty dark blond so my eyebrows are kind of ugly and stick out. I've found that I like the way they look when they're dark brown so I've been coloring them for quite a while now. I love them!

My rating: ★★★☆☆
Price: $2.99 (cost changes frequently) 
My review is on the actual pencil Avon has but I have also used this one ^ with the brush and they're about the same.

Now being as I sell Avon, I wanted to support the brand and use their products. However, some of their stuff is at amazing deals and some (like the pencils) are usually overpriced. Now the prices are constantly changing but usually I find them too expensive.

They are amazing quality pencils and go on nicely. They don't leave a thick globby mess on your eyebrows or eyes but I have noticed that they don't last long either. They're not a full sized pencil and you have to sharpen them every time you have to use them. So if you are a heavy user like me, they don't last long at all.

And to me that just wasn't worth the price. The brush did come in handy though sometimes. But a q-tip can do the same thing.

Pros:
* Easy and nice to use
* Good colors

Cons:
* Doesn't last long
* Constantly have to sharpen
* Too pricy for me

Now this product gets me excited :)

My rating: ★★★★★
Price: $.93
So this pencil is amazing! I've been using these since I was fifteen because you can find them at Walmart and Walgreens for less than a dollar and they are worth the money. When I was younger I used to use only pencils and so these were amazing!

They come in a variety of colors including blues and purples and white. The eyeliner its self is soft and glides on easily. You get a lot of product for your money and it doesn't fade off during the day. I only have to sharpen it maybe once every three days which is good for a heavy user like me!

Because I don't have to sharpen it so much and it is a full sized pencil, I find that I only have to replace it once every couple months and that is great! These are my go-to pencils and I don't think you will be disappointed! :)

Pros:
* Get a lot for your money
* Don't have to sharpen as much
* Great colors
* Such a great price

Cons:
* Sometimes feels sticky or thick (depending on use)

***Just a little tip. I tend to use a lot to cover my brows (the bald parts in my brows sometimes get difficult) so after they feel thick and sticky. But I just brush a little powdered foundation over the top and that takes away the sticky thick feeling and my eyebrows are able to move and feel like they had before. Also tames down the color and makes them blend more and look more natural.
