Holiday 2019: Benefit Brow Superstars in Shade 2

Benefit Brow Superstars Set in Shade 2

Benefit definitely knows how to do the holidays, and their holiday 2019 Brow Superstars definitely doesn’t disappoint! I mean just look at this thing! It’s a tophat! And it’s filled with full size products!

The Brow Superstars Set comes in three different shades (2, 3 & 4) and contains six full size products at a seriously reduced price tag. The retail value of the whole set is $192 CAD if you were to buy them individually, but the set altogether is going for $79 CAD which is absolutely wild.

If you’re a fan of Benefit‘s brow products and use even only about three of these on the regular, then this becomes an amazing deal. It also gives you the opportunity to try out additional products in the same colour range

Swatched out you can see the difference between all six products. The only one that looks slightly off to me is Gimme Brow which looks a touch warmer, and Browtones which looks a bit cooler than all the rest of them. Excluding, of course, the Brow Setter which is just a clear brow gel.

I’m very familiar with Precisely, My Brow, so I already know that I like the product a lot. What was interesting was trying out 3D Browtones which is what I layered on top of Precise, My Brow. It’s pegged as a product to add highlights and dimension, which is why it’s a little bit more reflective than the other products (in the swatches above). Don’t worry though, it doesn’t make your brows look reflective! I found it added a touch of dimension to my brows, but overall it’s Precisely, My Brow that definitely did all of the heavy lifting.

Ka-Brow was a new to me product that I was curious to try. Unfortunately, I found the application of the product to be a bit stiff because the product itself seemed a bit dried out in the bottle. I like the overall effect, but I think next time I’d add a bit of INGLOT Duraline to soften up the formula.

Okay WOW. Gimme Brow was the one that impressed me the most. I used it over top of some of my regular brow products and I LOVED the effect of it. It add a bit of oomph to my brows and helped me to brush them upwards (and held them in place) which really helped to add more volume to my brows. LOVE this one!

Goof Proof is intended for easy, fast filling of your brows. It has a diamond shape, and I definitely need to learn to play with the angles a bit better (my tail is a shambles here!), but it was definitely lightning quick to get my eyebrows filled in!

Final Thoughts

At the price point that Benefit is offering this set, it’s a hell of a good package. Especially if you’re someone (or you know someone) who really likes to change up how they do their brows day to day. I also like that it gives someone the opportunity to try something new out too. Although I was familiar with Precisely, My Brow – I didn’t have a lot of experience with the other products, but now I’ve found a new favourite in that Gimme Brow! The only item I won’t really get use out of is the clear brow gel just because I need the bulk that Gimme Brow adds, and the clear brow gel would only set my (non existent) brow hairs in place. The only slightly irksome thing about this collection is that they’ve only released it in three colours. And while I’m sure the shades they chose are their most popular brow colours, it would’ve been nice to see their full range available. That being said… shade 2 definitely worked for me and I was happy to play around with the set and I know I’m going to be using the bulk of these products up!

The Benefit Brow Superstars set is currently on sale at Sephora.ca for $66 CAD or at ulta.com (also on sale!) for $49 USD.
