Bomb or Bust? | Benefit Cosmetics Ka-Brow! Review and vlog

2017-01-29 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 17 min

Chantal tests Benefit Cosmetics' Ka-Brow cream-gel eyebrow product in a first-impression review interspersed with a short vlog. She unboxes the Ka-Brow, demos application (noting the angled brush and gel formula), discusses shade choice (she bought the darkest, #5), and compares it to a ColourPop pencil she had been using. She wears the product through errands in a blizzard, helps her sick grandmother (including using an elevator), and documents longevity checks that evening and the following afternoon after showering. She concludes the formula is long-lasting, waterproof and smudge-proof, that a little goes a long way, but that the price (~ CAD) is high; overall she calls Ka-Brow a "bomb" (positive) and says she would likely repurchase and try more Benefit brow products.
