Benefit Brow Zings vs. E.L.F. Brow Kit

Conclusion:

When you compare the quality of the wax in both kits, the Benefit Brow Zings wins hands down. However, if you compare the price difference then I tend to lean more towards the E.L.F. simply because it's quality is "close" to Benefits and is 10x cheaper. 

While I admit that I tend to reach for my Brow Zings more than I reach for the E.L.F., I can honestly say that it's a good enough dupe that if the Zings aren't on sale - I would more than likely just repurchase the E.L.F. 

The only real downside to the E.L.F. is availability. I've only ever seen the Medium kits in Target stores. You may have to order Darker or Lighter kits which means shipping, waiting etc.

Benefit - Raising Eyebrows

Eyebrows are my current obsession, mainly because mine are so light, and sparse, and on the left I had a piercing that left a scar!

The style currently is more of a full brow, though in the past it was a nice thin brow. There are people today who plucked their beautiful "Brook Shields  brows as a teen and now find they can't grow them back. My own mother had her brows TATTOO'D on! 

There are groupons for Brow Waxing, Brow Serums, Brow Dying, Brow Shaping etc. 

Brows are IMPORTANT! 

This is a book by Benefit, that gives you all the in's and out's in the brow world. It describes with pictures, how to shape your brow and work with what you have. It's also got a TON of tongue in cheek snark which I absolutely enjoyed!:) 

I think this would make a wonderful gift for another Makeup lover in your life!

"Sadly, Eyebrows are the unloved and neglected Stepchildren of the facial features. Why? Not because eyes and lips are better! They just demand more attention. The typical eyebrow is simply misunderstood. Most people--- even the makeup savvy and the cosmetic queen--- don't take the time to really get to know their brows and understand their needs. It's time to change all that. It's time for every man, woman and child to accept that brows are real and they need your love and attention."*

"DONT' DO ANY SOUL-SEARCHING IN YOUR BROWS.

Let's be clear, Brows are important --- but not that important. Sure, they can make you look great, but they can't solve your life's problems. If you're placing too much emphasis on your eyebrows, you're at risk of seriously overtweezing.

Never search for the meaning of life in your brows

Never search for your next job/boyfriend/apartment in your brows

Never search for unconditional love in your brows!"*
