 The Toolbox is a clever little kit with all the accessories needed to groom and primp your brows.
The kit is small, and can be fit into a purse easily. Everything here is in mini-version. In the top part of the compact, the kit contains a mini pair of tweezers, a mini eye-pencil, and mini eyebrow gel. Then, there is a bottom section which twists open to reveal a colorless eyebrow wax, and a powdered eyebrow filler each in it's own square compartement. There is also a mini tapered brush included.
The mini eyebrow pencil and the brow powder come in a few different shades..It's pretty standard (like most brow kits); the light for blondes, etc. etc. The shade I bought (for brown hair) matches pretty well.
It should be said that although everything is in a mini version, it all works very well. If you're at home, and you have full-sized tweezers, then they would be better to use, but if you're in the car, or elsewhere, the small tweezers come in very handy (I know I've used them several times in the car after finding an annoying stray hair or two). I also like the brow gel, which can be used alone for a natural look. I think the brow gel, and wax are among the major highlights of this kit.
The brow wax is wonderful! I really like all the products included in the kit. I gave it an overall rating of 4 because I think the shading on the brow powder could be a little bit more on-target (but maybe I just bought the wrong color for me). I gave the packing quality a 4 because even though I like the design, sometimes the bottom compartement that "twists" open sticks a lil' bit. At $32, this kit is more expensive than some, not as expensive as others.
Oh, I almost forgot...It also come with three brow stencils in popular shapes (classic, high arch, etc.), and handy-dandy instructions, in case you're a complete moron and don't know how to use the stencils (lol).
Overall; very useful kit, especially when traveling, or doing makeup on someone...Everything you need is right there at your fingertips.
