First Impressions: Anastasia Beverly Hills DIPBROW POMADE

So my brows have never been professionally shaped or plucked before. I think it's because I'm too scared of someone over-plucking them as I have them quite thick due to my hair being very thick also.
I've been feeling sorry for my brows recently as they have just not been looking there best. I was using Sleeks BrowKit (A very good dupe for Benefits BrowZings). However all though the wax part of that kit I completely loved, I ran out of it very quickly and the powder part is just way to light for my brows and that was in the shade dark. I was going to re purchase it. But EVERY time I went into my my three nearest Superdrugs all of the BrowKits were out of stock! I must have tried atleast five or six times so I gave up.
After browsing Anastasia Beverly Hills beeeeeeautiful photos of people using their products on Instagram pretty much I was staring at the eyebrows the whole time. They looked amazing! And a lot of them said Dipbrow Pomade was what they used. I had to try it.
I ordered mine at cultbeauty.co.uk in the shade Ebony. Firstly a big thumbs up on cultbeauty.co.uk it arrived within two days and it was so cutely packaged!
I was worried that the shade wouldn't be correct as I bought it online but it's a perfect match! Yay. So here's a picture of my naked brows. As you can see they're not perfect but I've been really trying to grow them to be more symmetric to eachother. (If you need help in shaping brows I really recommend reading Rae Morris MAKEUP The Ultimate Guide. She has a section all about achieving the perfect shape eyebrows and the dos and don'ts. The whole book is stunning and very helpful.)
So I just used your average slanted eyebrow brush. (I use just a brush I got from a Groupon brush set I ordered when I was about seventeen!) I literally dapped the tiniest amount on my brush and holy moly it's so pigmented! The product literally slid on so beautifully and couldn't believe how such little product on my brush could go a long way! What I did notice though my eyebrow brush was too thick to get the precise thin lines that I wanted. I really want to invest the Anastasia Angled Cut Brow Brush as I think this would help improve the sharpness of the shape so much. Will have to wait for my next payday though being a typical pennyless student and all.
The top left image shows my right eyebrow with the dipbrow pomade and and the left without...gosh what a difference. I cannot praise this product enough it will last you agesssss! I've been wearing it for about four days now and totally agree that it's long wearing and smudge proof. Even had it on at the gym and not one ounze of smudging woohoo! It held my brows hairs in shape aswell and I've already had compliments on my brows! :) One very happy customer here, thank you Anastasia :).

Has anyone else tried it yet? I'd love to hear your opinions on it! :)
Love,
