Anastasia Beverly Hills Haul + First Impressions.

So if you follow me on Twitter, you've probably seen my exciting squeals regarding a sneaky little purchase I made on Cult Beauty. It was my first time ordering through this website and I'm so glad I did because the service was impeccably fast - and we all know there's nothing worse than waiting for your online shopping to arrive! 

Originally I was just going to get the Dip Brow Pomade but I decided that I would probably need a top-notch professional brow brush to apply it with, and then when I saw that if I spent £40 or more I'd get some free samples... Well, I think we all know what happened next! 

So for today's post I wanted to show you guys all my new brow goodies and share my first impressions and whether or not I'd recommend them. So without further ado, let's get cracking!

So firstly I wanted to talk about the Anastasia Brow Whiz. Because I was buying online, I had to guess my shade which was obviously not the easiest thing to do. I went for Dark Brown after umming and ahhing for a little while, which thankfully seemed to match my natural brow colour quite well.

Price - £15.50

There are so many amazing things I wanted to talk about regarding this product! Firstly the packaging. It is absolutely gorgeous, everything from the black and gold box to the twisty pencil to the little brush on the end. It just screams quality. 

And the actual product is pretty amazing too. I tried it first on the back of my hand, slightly dubious as to whether or not it would be worth the hype, but my gosh! Because the pencil is so small, it's super easy to create tiny, hair-like strokes, which of course is what you want out of a brow product. As of right now I have nothing negative to say about this product!  

In the photo above I'm just wearing the Brow Whiz and in my opinion it looks really natural, enhancing my natural brow without being too OTT. You'll have to excuse how wild my brows look because I haven't had them done in ages and I'm fully aware they're awful! 

Next up is the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade. I'd heard so many good things about this product, especially for it's longevity in the summertime and I was super excited to try it out. Again I had to blind buy a colour and went for Dark Brown, which I suspect may have been slightly too dark. But I'm still working on perfecting technique with this one, so hopefully after a few more attempts it'll look better!

Price - £15

Price-wise with these products I really don't think they're that bad. I mean, definitely not in league with some of the more expensive brands like Chanel or Tom Ford, and yet I truly feel Anastasia is just as luxurious. The packaging of the Dipbrow Pomade is so classy, with the stunning glass pot and printed logo. 

In terms of ease of use, this is definitely a little harder than the Brow Whiz. I've applied it using the large synthetic brow brush (number 12) which I do think helped a little bit. One thing I would say with this product is that a little really does go a long way and I suspect one tiny pot will last for ages and ages. The actual product has a lovely mousse like texture and feels really light and wearable. Another great thing is that it doesn't brush off onto your fingers if you accidentally touch your brows! 

I'm really excited to test this out when I'm on holiday, to see if it lasts well and doesn't smudge off in the heat, as so many people have claimed it's a wonder product. All in all I'm so glad I bought it and will definitely be continuing to use it on a daily basis. 

Out of the three products I've bought, my favourite is probably the Brow Whiz for ease of application, but I really like the density and colour of the Pomade. If you're going to buy the latter, I would heavily suggest buying a brush to go alongside it, unless you already own a good quality eyebrow brush.
