REFY Beauty Review | Brow Collection, Summer Skin Cream Blush and Bronzer

[@HannahLouisePoston]

I just experienced a full-on comedic start of surprise when you mentioned my name! I'm a Matilda fangirl and I had no idea you'd seen any of my videos. Thank you for including the link too, you are an icon

I'm definitely interested in you turning your beauty conversation series into a proper podcast, Matilda! 🎙I haven't tried any Refy products, but seeing this video rekindles my yearn to try their brow products! 🤔😂

the refy brow is too intense for me! I feel like it makes me look like I have cartoon person brows, but I’ve never tried the cream blush! it looks so pretty

[@matildaonvideo]

I'm glad you've given it a try Emma! Maybe you could use the sculpt step on its own and brush through more gently without adding any tint? Let me know if that makes a difference 👍 x

Hey Matilda! Thank you so much for your videos. Always love watching them! I've got a request: any chance you could do a feature on local Aussie brands? Some brands on your channel can be hard to acquire down under and wonder if we could support some local brands during this rough time in lockdown? Thanks!

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you for watching! Unfortunately I've already planned my video topics for the rest of the year, but I love including Aussie brands where possible (they tend to play a bigger role in my skincare routine than makeup, and also pop up on my Instagram a lot more often). I'd love to hear which local brands you're a fan of! There are a couple of old Aussie videos on my channel 🇦🇺💙 Hope you're hanging in there in lockdown, look after yourself! x

[@firelunamoon]

@@matildaonvideo It would be great if you could do a series of videos on regional brands from different parts of the world, like the k beauty and j beauty ones that you did. I know getting the products can be difficult but your subscribers might be able to help you out there.

A very informative video, but I don’t think I’ll be running out anytime soon to purchase any of it.

Thank you for watching Nancy! Always really happy to hear if one of my reviews helps someone save their money ☺️👍 x

[@LouTube19]

I’ve been using these products for the past month and the blush has become a holy grail product for me. The brow products are really good as well but i only use them when i’m not in a rush because it takes some time. I haven’t tried the bronzer but the greatest surprise for me was the highlighter, it’s absolutely stunning

[@matildaonvideo]

Glad you've been enjoying them Lou! Thanks for watching. Someone else just raved about the highlighter in the comments - don't make me regret skipping it! 😂✨ x

[@cathymccarthy5360]

The brow products caught my attention when they were released because I’m a thick bushy brow gal. I haven’t purchased because they were out of stock for a while but might try the sculpt and pencil. The bronzers and blushes don’t grab me. I think there are better options on the market. 🥰 I’m more interested in trying the new Rose Inc brow products. Excited that they will be available at Mecca. 🤗

[@2twentysix]

Honestly? That's a lotta work for da brow. Personally not comfortable with caterpillars glued to my head look but the cream blush she applied to her chiselled cheek bones had the wow factor! Nice products by the look of it and may give some a try, for a slimmed down caterpillar look. Thank you :)

[@matildaonvideo]

Haha a slimmed down caterpillar look is definitely my vibe too! Thanks for watching 😄 x

[@beckyshaknovich7554]

Thanks for this video. I always appreciate your in-depth descriptions of texture and colors. This brand looks really appealing to me. I love the packaging, the blush colors, and the brow style/results. However I already have cream blush & bronzer, as well as brow products I like and I am trying to save up for a down payment on a house. It’s good to know that the brow gel/wax is the standout product. I have thick, coarse brow hair and I find what works best for my brows is strong hold hair gel on a spoolie. I use the Schwarzkopf got2b ultra glued (as recommended by Harry Makes it Up- she’s great!!!). I’ll skip this product line and continue using what I already have and like… and saving my money. Thank you 🙏

[@staceytrewart4544]

Hello there! It’s a hard YES from me on the Podcast too please! This was a really interesting review but don’t these will replace any of my current products but thank you! Have struggled to find a great grey brow product since BB stopped doing their long wear brow pencil in grey 😕… can’t use mainstream things like Boy Brow as have really sparse eyebrows so the search goes on!!

[@ashlanhanseen8511]

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new glossier solar paint!

[@matildaonvideo]

Unfortunately I'm not planning to try it Ashlan - the public response was quite poor and I feel uncomfortable about the shades, particularly after years of development and anticipation, as well as their diversity issues last year. Small bronzer shade ranges are fairly common as I mention in this video, but I think Glossier is held to a higher standard because of their own messaging and imagery. Their launches need to truly reflect that. I read that they have a new ‘Colour Product Development’ team so I hope we see shade expansions become their focus 👍 x

[@Annielee825]

The cream blushes look exactly the same as the Honest beauty blushes! Even the colours look super similar :o

[@matildaonvideo]

The Honest Beauty blushes certainly came to mind Annie! 🌸 x

[@user-je6xk8cy2q]

The refy brow sculpt alone would be a product I would love to try in the future and it’s a decent price range too! Some cheaper brow shaping products I have are too watery and my brows don’t hold in the shape I wanted them. If anyone has any suggestions on brow shaping products that stick to their name I’d love to try them out :) ❤️

[@eve_992]

Matilda, I’m not sure if you’ve reviewed these, but if you haven’t, if you can, or if you’re able to, do you mind reviewing the glossier ultra lip tinted lip balms?

These look nice but I’m stuck on Kosas air brow products and the shade range. I had a hard time choosing there’s so many.

[@anna-mc1iq]

Hi Matilda! Funnily, I was just yesterday thinking of trying Refy’s Brow Sculpt. I’ve been using Glossier Boy Brow for 5-6 years already probably, so was thinking of giving a shot to something new. It came down between Refy Brow Sculptor and Surratt Beauty Brow Pomade. How do you think they compare? Which one would you recommend? Would love hearing your thoughts on that, xx 💌

[@abbeydean429]

Yep don’t love the pencil as much, and I definitely think it interferes with the brown gel. Agree about using the gel very last too! It’s become my method as well.

[@matildaonvideo]

Good to hear you have the same approach Abbey! ☺️👍 x

[@JustMe-px9qy]

Can you compare her brow products to Boy brow? Thanks

[@matildaonvideo]

The only product that's slightly similar to Boy Brow would be the Brow Sculpt gel, but the gel is colourless, has a longer spoolie, much stronger hold and a more lifted look when you brush through 👍 Boy Brow is a lot more creamy and soft in comparison x

[@JustMe-px9qy]

@@matildaonvideo - thanks!

[@HChihachi]

I like your content in the visual medium, would you consider doing accompanying KZbin videos for the podcast episodes?

[@bryngarrity5548]

i have all of the REFY products. I bought the sets because i was interested in everything but the bronzer so i figured i'd get everything anyway. the bronzer is too orange for me. I prefer a super cool toned bronzer and usually end up using a light contour shade. The sculpt did nothing to hold my sparse, stubborn brow hairs. The brow pencil and pomade are great! the pencil is 100% a product i will be repurchasing. it's the perfect pencil. the highlighter i LOVE and you get a ton of product. the blush is pretty and very pigmented but nothing unique. my rankings: 1) Brow pencil (medium) 2) Pomade (medium) 3) highlighter (it's stunning) 4) blush (malaya) 5) brow sculpt 6) bronzer (sand)

[@matildaonvideo]

Interesting Bryn, thank you for sharing your ranking! I'm glad you've had good results with a few of the products 👍✨ x

[@Ella-hk1qc]

I would definitely give a kidney for a podcast by you! You could talk about beauty, do interviews or literally anything and I would listen!!

[@Franchuuify]

I might be a bit old fashioned, but I'm more simple with my brow routine. My natural brown color is a bit lighter than my natural cool toned brown hair, so i just put some eyeshadow to match the color and a bit of translucent mascara. The thing i would try is colored brow mascara, heard that the essence one is nice and the one from Mac too, I'm on the fence cause the price point of the one from mac is way up there. Any recommendations? As always your content is an oasis to me, it gives me a break from some family issues I've been dealing. Thank you very much Matilda, keep going with this amazing content you create. Xx

[@Elimelix]

I recommend the apieu skinny browcara in the shade grey brown, especially since you said your hair is cool toned and normally tinted brow products tend to be too warm. I get mine from yesstyle as this is a korean makeup product

[@matildaonvideo]

Thank you for the kind words Francesca, I hope you're doing ok! Unfortunately I haven't tried any clear mascara before, but I do enjoy the clear brow gels from Espressoh, EM Cosmetics and Anastasia Beverly Hills 👍 x

[@nadiahsophia9800]

I got mine from ASOS and they’re pretty good about delivery time and shipping to AUS

[@HaHaHaLMFAOtv]

Definitely a new brand to me, although I’ve seen her pictures on the internet. With all these new brands my only thought is - is this all very necessary?

[@matildaonvideo]

To be honest, I think 'need' is rarely relevant when it comes to beauty, or lots of other categories that bring us joy! The cycle of launches can be overwhelming, but I don't think that should be a bar to new products or companies being created. Having said that, part of my job is sharing reviews to give people more information to make purchasing decisions, so I'm happy to be able to help! 👍 x

@@matildaonvideo I see your point 😊 yes, I guess it all is just so overwhelming. And as somebody who likes new things but also wants to finish what I already have in my drawer it can get pretty hectic 😅 thank you for your answer ☺️🌸

I'm pretty sure e.l.f. is available in Australia (not positive) but if you're looking for a great brow gel, the e.l.f. wow brow is my personal favorite. Reminds me Glossier boy brow but it's only $4 in the US!

i sometimes wonder what you do with all the makeup you possess. do you ever worry that they will go bad before you use them up?

I personally don't follow expiry dates Nicole! I prefer to prioritise cleanliness instead (only applying makeup with clean hands, never sharing with other people, putting lids straight back on, cleaning up packaging after use etc) and luckily I’ve rarely had anything 'go bad'. If it still looks / smells / performs the same, I keep it! But that’s always a personal call 👍 x
