An Identical Dupe? ( & Comparison Swatches)

A few months ago, a life changing product entered my makeup bag; the Anastasia Brow Wiz in 'Medium Brown'. A cult self-sharpening pencil complete with spoolie and not to mention the closest shade of brown ever to match my hair. It was a big step up in terms of price from Rimmel's Brow Pencil in 'Hazel' (which was way too orange toned) but boy did the quality show. Super perfected yet natural looking brows in a pencil. The only downside was at £15.50 a pop, I wasn't too willing to repurchase it on a regular basis.

After trying multiple drugstore alternatives including the Sleek Brow Stylist in 'Medium' (again too orange for my ashy dark blonde hair) and Eylure's Brow Shape and Shade in 3 (too yellow and dry to work with) I very recently stumbled across Soap and Glory's Archery Pencil and Brush in 'Hot Chocolate'. At a much more reasonable £8, and no ginger-tones in sight, this purhcase was practically immediate.

Everything down to the packaging, shape, size, most importantly - colour, and even spoolie is in my eyes identical to it's higher-end competitor. They even contain the same 0.085g of product and, although irrelevant, are made in the same country... say whaa?

All in all, this dupe, or should I say twin? is completely faultless! In this case, I'd say save your pennies and opt for S&G's new thing.
