Etude House Drawing Eye Brow pencil First Impressions & Swatch

I purchased the Etude House Drawing Eye Brow pencil in #5 Gray and it arrived in the mail today along with 3 samples.

 from left to right: Tonymoly Tomatox Magic White Massage Pack, Skin79 The oriental Shining Pearl BB Cream plus, TonyMoly Intense Care Dual Effect Sleeping Pack. ( Aside: the Tomatox Magic White Massage Pack doesn't have English instructions anywhere on the packaging...Do any of you know the instructions to using this? -->o.0<--That's me confused)

For less than $5 it's a great pricepoint if you don't consider how little product you get. The packaging doesn't specify the weight, but it seems less than the NYX Auto eyebrow pencil, and definitely less than the Marcelle pencil, which is a standard non-mechanical pencil)

 On the plus side, the caps on both end are very secure and not at all flimsy, and I like how they made the lid colors different so I'll never run into the problem of attempting to draw in my eyebrows with a brush because I was too lazy check the cap first. ( I had that problem with Estee Lauder's automatic brow pencil)

 Color wise it's actually darker than I expected. Having rather soft, sparce eyebrows and black hair, I find a lighter gray pencil comes across more natural. Despite the fact that there is a different shade that is "dark gray" I'd say the color is very comparable to most other gray eyebrow pencils on the market, and no lighter.

Brushed out

The texture is harder than other brow pencils ( NYX, Marcelle), but this may be because I've only swatched it once and the top layer of the product usually is harder for pencils like this. Even if that's not the case, I'd still consider it a plus as you don't want to be using an uber creamy pencil on your eyebrows, unless you're going for the bold..harsh..look? Is that a thing?

I'm extremely excited to try this out! I will report back in a few weeks :]
