Advantages: gives a real polished professional look

Disadvantages: expensive

I started using BrowZings following a consultation at a Benefit counter in preparation for my upcoming wedding. I like to emphasise my eyes rather than lips and have used eyebrow pencils in the past. I have dark but sparse eyebrows and was toying with idea of using one of their coloured brow gels until the person behind the counter suggested I might be better off with Brow Zings. She applied them and they looked fantastic so I bought some.
I was worried that they would be tricky to apply as I have two slightly different shaped eyebrows. The pigmented wax goes on easily with the brush but you don't really get the full 'benefit' (excuse the pun) of them until you use the powder. There is an instruction booklet to show where the definition points of the eyebrow shape should be. I found that these were surprisingly easy to follow as I don't have a steady hand. However the powder does go on quite thick so I have found that it is better to go easy and then gradually build up as it is highly pigmented. That said, going heavier, if you are a brunette, and with dark eyes on a night out and nude lips gives a really defined look. I haven't got on too well with the tweezers as I personally prefer full-sized ones, but the ones in there are perfectly adequate for space saving if you are carrying your make-up bag around

Summary: moderately easy to use and effective
