In the press release from Nordicfeel.se that I showed you the other day, there was, among other things, an eyebrow product that I immediately became curious about!<\/p>\n

It is a "look alike" for Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade which is a colored cream in a small jar that you can easily shape and fill in the eyebrows with.<\/p>\n

I have tested Anastasias Pomade<\/a> previously, and now I have also tested the budget variant Freedom Brow Pomade<\/a>\u00a0which costs SEK 75, unlike Anastasia which costs SEK 255!<\/p>\n

Packaging<\/strong>
\nThe jars are EXACTLY the same, if you had done a blind test you would not have noticed any difference. They weigh the same and have exactly the same dimensions everywhere and look the same both on the inside and outside. Same, same fixed different logos.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing<\/strong>
\nBoth are made in China and most likely from the exact same manufacturer. Different ingredients though, had to check it out haha! But the first ingredient (which is what the product contains most of) is exactly the same - cyclopentasiloxane which is a silicone. Then many of the ingredients are the same as well but not in the same place in the list and Anastasia contains many more ingredients. So they are not exact copies even though I actually started suspecting it for a few seconds :)<\/p>\n

Formula<\/strong>
\nAll my Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade is starting to get a little old now, so I can not compare the textures and so to 100% as mine from Anastasia are starting to get a little dry and tough. But from what I can remember how they were when they were new, there is no noticeable difference there either. Both are incredibly pigment-rich and creamy in texture, both.<\/p>\n

Application<\/strong>
\nFreedom Brow Pomade is very easy to use, it looks good immediately and you can easily get both sharp lines and a softer filling. Just like Anastasia!<\/p>\n

sustainability<\/strong>
\nThe only point I can notice any difference in is sustainability, where quality wins over budget. Although the durability of Freedom is also great, I painted an eyebrow on my wrist yesterday and when I went to bed after a full day at work, it was still nice :)<\/p>\n

However, Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade is waterproof and can withstand even more stress, so if you do a rubbing test on your hand, Anastasia wins. But it is incredibly even even at this point I must say!<\/p>\n

Conclusion -<\/strong> Incredibly similar products and as long as it does not depend on the best durability, I choose Freedom Brow Pomade every day of the week, and rather spend the rest of the money on some other fun makeup :)<\/p>\n

This is what it says about Freedom Brow Pomade on Nordicfeel.se:
\n\u201cPro Brow Pomade Medium Brown is a safe card when choosing eyebrow color to achieve a natural result that lasts all day. The product is available in eleven different shades so that you can easily find the shade that is closest to your natural color and suits your skin tone. The perfect product for a defined and professional result. \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"IMG_9477_111\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have the shade Medium Brown, which is almost exactly the same as Anastasia's shade Dark Brown. However, Dark Brown is a little more reddish brown while this one from Freedom is colder.<\/p>\n

And this is how beautiful the eyebrows will be with Freedom Brow Pomade :)<\/p>\n

I like it very much! Really good and incredibly affordable. As I said, it costs SEK 75 Nordicfeel.se<\/a>\u00a0which always has free shipping as well.<\/p>\n

Hug! \u2665<\/p>\n
