I checked my blogging schedule ready to write today’s post. I panicked. I hadn’t planned a post for today and I didn’t have a clue what to write, until I spotted this month’s issue of Elle on the table, which came with a free sample of a new Benefit product, the Goof Proof brow pencil.
I was so excited when I saw that Benefit have a new brow range coming out on 24th June, consisting of brand new packaging and 6 new products, the Goof Proof pencil being one of them. The Elle magazine retailed at £4.10 which is a great price since the pencil is probably worth about £6, being a sample size.
The first thing I noticed about the product is of course the stunning packaging. Benefit have redesigned the packaging of all their brow products, they now come in beautiful silver and I think they look really sleek together. The full sized Goof Proof comes with product on one end and a spoolie on the other, a feature I think is very useful.
Unfortunately you can’t choose what shade comes with your magazine, and as a girl with brows that couldn’t possibly get any darker, I was quite disappointed to see that I had received the second lightest shade out of 6. Nethertheless, I still tried the product out because I was excited to see what it was like.
I found the Goof Proof pencil so easy to use, which is a good sign since I have never used a product like it before. It is shaped so it has a pointed end to define the brow but also a wide tip which makes filling in so easy. The product glides on and I was very impressed. I think if it was in a darker shade I would love it.
When the full new brow collection comes out on 24th June I will definitely be popping over to my local Benefit counter, although I’m not sure I will purchase a full sized Goof Proof I do have my eye on some other products such as the Precisely, My Brow Pencil.
Have you picked up this month’s Elle yet?
