I made my order on the 27st of July and received it today on the 17th of August! It took awhile, but factoring the current turnaround time in (10-15 days) made sense. Let’s get straight onto my haul photos:

Here’s what’s in my haul:

Revival Serum (can be used to revive dried up cream products such as the brow pomades and cream eyeliners/eyeshadows)

Brow Pomade in Medium Brown (full size)

Sample sized Brow Pomade

Full sized eyeshadow in Exorcism

Free sample size of Finding Nucleotides (will swatch in another post)

I have 2 samples of the Dark Brown and Ebony pomade. Life’s Entropy’s pomade jar looks pretty much the same as Anastasia Beverly Hill’s Dipbrow Pomade jars, except it contains a whopping 8g of product compared to ABH Dipbrow’s 4g. $12 USD for 8g compared to $18 for 4g of product? I’m sold on that alone! The important question to ask is whether the LE pomades can work as well as the ABH dipbrows. So here are my swatches:

Colour between the LE Dark Brown vs ABH Dark Brown is pretty similar. I found that the application of the LE promades to be more smooth but my ABH dipbrow is a few months old now so it may be a little more dry. I took these photos before they fully dried, but once they’ve dried up, they’re pretty much waterproof. I rubbed my finger vigorously over the swatches and none of the pomades budged, so I’d say Life’s Entropy’s shadows are very comparable to ABH dipbrows. Since they’re pretty much the same in consistency and application, I’m already sold! I can’t comment on longevity as I only received the pomades today, but considering how smudge proof they are, I wouldn’t be surprised if they can last as long as the ABH pomades.

Now, I do have a bit of an issue with my order (some may consider it a big issue, though). My Brow Theory jar looked like this when I opened it. Here is a flash image that shows some unknown white substance on the edge of the brow pomade. I’m not sure exactly what happened here but I have contacted Life’s Entropy and am awaiting a response. Will update this section when I find out exactly what’s up.

Update on 19th of August: I’ve corresponded with Jane from Life’s Entropy and she said that it may just be that the base got separated from the rest of the pomade due to extreme heat/pressure. It most likely happened on transit to Australia, so I’m sure it’s been through one hell of a trip! She suggested me to microwave it to re-set the pomade and it should be fine. I’ve done just that and did as watch on my hand and it still works as it is meant to, so no worries there!

My overall thoughts is that these brow pomades are very worth their price, especially considering you get twice as much product as ABH dipbrow pomades and they’re very similar (dare I say identical?) in application, consistency and quality. From now on, I think I’ll stick to Life’s Entropy’s brow pomades, but I don’t think I’ll buy anymore any time soon considering the whopping 8g of product!
