Awesome dupe for MAC Spiked Brow Pencil

Eyebrows are everything to me. So it's natural for me to be drawn to any and all types of brow products. For years I had been using the MAC brow pencil in Spiked which is a dark brown, brunette shade. But I was looking for a cheaper alternative that would also perform well. I then discovered the Maybelline Define-A-Brow pencil which I used consistently until I just recently found out from a friend that they have discontinued my shade, Dark brown. Needless to say, I was devastated and began to look for another dupe because I did not want to go back to using Spiked. It was just too much to shell out for something I use on the daily and would need to constantly replenish. As I was in CVS, in the beauty aisle of course, I spotted this Almay Brow defining pencil in the shade Brunette. I had already noticed the similiarity to the MAC Spiked and Maybelline define-a-brow pencils-they were long and skinny. I am so used to using the kind of twist-up brow pencil rather than the ones you need to sharpen. So I didn't even have to think about purchasing it, I kinda had a feeling I would love it. And sure enough, I did, and I do! I also love that it comes with a detachable spoolie brush. This is more useful than the brow comb that was on the end of the Maybelline Define-A-Brow. I like that it's detachable so you can fit it into your makeup bag, if you have a small one, like me. I'm waiting for the next 40% off deal on Almay at CVS so I can stock up on these. I highly recommend this product! :)
