BATTLE OF THE BROW PENCILS | Sleek vs. Rimmel

In the extremely browcentric world we live and with me being a bit (completely) obsessed with eyebrows I am always looking for new products to do my brows with and the high street definitely isn't lacking in products. I personally prefer using a powder to fill in my eyebrows as I think it gives a more natural look but I wanted to try both of these items: Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil/ 001 Dark Brown- £2.99 and Sleek Eyebrow Stylist/ 718 Dark- £5.99.

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil

This pencil is a dark brown kohl pencil but the product itself comes in three shades with a brush attached to the cap. I did use it for a week, I wanted to see if it grew on me, let's just say it didn't. 
The shade- I can't comment on the other shades because I haven't tried them but I found that this colour didn't really match my eyebrows, it was a waaaay to warm toned brown- even looked red-dy in some lights.
The brush- The little brush on the cap is cute but I don't really think it's necessary, the brush is so hard it feels like you are scrubbing your brows rather than brushing them, I'd rather not forcibly remove my eyebrow hairs.
The pigmentation- I found the pigmentation to be ok if I applied more pressure but it wasn't the best, maybe it would be more pigmented on lighter skin?
The form- I don't really think I have the right to complain about this because when I bought it I new it was a pencil but sharpening it is hassle (yes I am lazy!)

Sleek Eyebrow Stylist

As I said in my 'new in- sleek' post this purchase is because of Lily Melrose, this has been said to be a dupe for the £26 Hourglass Arch Brow Sculpting Pencil (mouthful much?) This product has two ends, both with caps, one side is  a spoolie and the other is the angled brush, it also comes in three shades.
The shade- I got the shade Dark and it is the perfect colour, it doesn't have any odd undertones and is just a natural looking dark brown for my skin and hair colour, but not too dark. I can't comment on the other shades but this one is perfect.
The spoolie- I use the spoolie to brush through my brows before I fill them in. I would pick a spoolie over any other type of brush any day as I feel they're more effective.
The pigmentation/ consistency- It is a lor more pigmented than the Rimmel pencil, it has quite a soft creamy/ waxy consistency in comparison to a normal kohl.
The form- The pencil is angular and this is meant to make it easier to shape and apply your eyebrows, it allows you to do very fine lines and normal lines with the same pencil. The ability to do fine strokes allows you to get a very natural looking brow although it may take more time.

VERDICT: If it's not obvious then Sleek Eyebrow Stylist wins although I don't think it has managed to convert me from powder to pencil, sorry!
