NEW Chella Eyebrow Cream in Dazzling Dark Brown | Review and Swatches #Chella

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

Are you still seeking the perfect product to fill in your brows? If so, I have an innovative, brand new product to introduce you to. Chella just launched a phenomenal new Eyebrow Cream that is so effective easy to use– that it becomes too easy a step to skip. 

Chella Eyebrow Cream consists of a angled brow brush on one end and at the other end a small pot filled with an ultra-luxe eye brow cream. One simply dips the brush into the pot and effortlessly fills in and shapes their brows. The eyebrow cream is very concentrated, and therefore only the tiniest amount is needed to create natural brows. The consistency is creamy enough that it is very easy to work with, but not so much so that it and it migrates, or fades away. It can be sheered out for minimal coverage, or built up for maximum opacity, but I definitely suggest taking a less-is-more approach, and building coverage as needed.

According to Chella,

Hello. This innovative Eyebrow Cream formula has a rich velvety consistency that effortlessly applies to your eyebrows. After application, it can be blended onto your eyebrows and skin to create a truly natural looking finish. Once set, this formula can last all day and throughout the night. Now you have everything you need to 'Wow your Brows', Beautiful!

Of the six colors available, I selected Dazzling Dark Brown.

Ingredients: Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Cyclomethicone, Isododecane, Microcrystalline Wax, Mica, Cyclopentasiloxane, Boron Nitride, Boron Nitride, Cyclohexasiloxane, Paraffin, Glycol Montanate, Synthetic Wax, Dimethicone, Phenoxyethanol, Tocopheryl Acetate, May Contain/Peut Contenier (+/): Bismuth Oxychloride (Ci 77163), Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891), Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499).

Chella Eyebrow Cream in Dazzling Dark Brown

Overall Assessment: This is a such a welcome addition to my eyebrow gels, powders and pencils, and it is so easy to use that I find myself reaching for it on a daily basis.

Each month BB5 curates a theme-based box, and their July theme, Will Break for Makeup, includes six, not five, full-sized products!

 Contents:

Hikari Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Haze (Full Size. Retail $13.00): This is a highly pigmented eyeshadow that is finely milled and silky smooth. It glides across the skin effortlessly and deposits color evenly. While Haze is described as a Gold with Heavy Shimmer, I would characterize it as a gorgeous golden taupe. #hikaricosmetics

 Chella Tantalizing Taupe Brow Color Pencil and Hikari Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Haze (swatch below)

Overall Assessment: The July BB5 box is such a great value, and it features six full-sized products, instead of five products that are a combination of full and sample sizes. This was definitely a great month in the land of BB5!
