Review & Swatches - Rimmel Brow this Way

I was never a brow person as I have always had reasonably dark and thick brows and felt doing them made them look too done up and weird. But, last year saw me getting into brows and now am all about it. My favorite combination when I got into the brow game was MAC Esspresso and a clear brow gel and then later I discovered tinted brow gels and was all about them. 

I haven't tried any brow kit (neither drugstore nor high end) or played with any wax brow products, so I was super excited to try the Rimmel Brow This Way range.





I received the brow sculpting kits in medium brown and dark brown. The brow kits have a cute compact yet sturdy packaging. Each brow kit comes with a two sided angled brush and a spoolie. The brushes though small, work really well. Both shades work okay for my colour. I think the wax shapes and defines my brows pretty well. The powder colors though a bit warm still work okay for me. The kit in my opinion is a very good drugstore offering, however I think it is too much work for me and I prefer my tinted brow gels. The one thing missing, is a mirror in my opinion could have been handy for on the go. 

I have the brow styling gels in clear, blonde and dark brown. I haven't tried the blonde or the clear gel, but blonde looks like a good shade. Dark Brown is a very good match for me. I have been loving the dark brown shade and have been wearing it pretty much since I received it. The brush size is decent, not very massive, definitely not as small as the Loreal Brow Artist plumper but easy to work with. I find this shade to be darker than the Loreal brow gel and I prefer this shade for me. My eyebrows are thick and dark and on an every day basis I prefer the ease of brow styling gels. I like using them since they are quick but still set, define and fill in my brows.

Overall I think the Rimmel Brow This Way is a good drugstore offering and I would recommend giving them a go.

  1. I haven't tried this Rimmel kit, but it's certainly affordable. I'm using Maybelline Brow Drama at the moment which I quite like. :)
