I didn't try the new brow product at the BB but tried a friend's when her order arrived and, after a certain amount of laughing and pointing, she sent it back! I have very little in the way of eye brows they're just a fine thin invisible blonde line so firstly I dye them with brown dyelash which helps me stick to a natural shape when I fill in with pencil. I've tried lots but by far the best pencils are YBF (Models Prefer), New CID, Avon*, and Yves Rocher*. Fair to good are No7 and Rimmel. I still also use Doll 10 and Smashbox browtech which are the best powder/wax apply-with-a-brush type products.
There was no way to apply the Benefit brow thingy sufficiently to build a brow where there's no hair, trying to apply more tendied to remove what was there and if I have to apply in stages, allowing drying time between coats I know I won't bother. Plus it was teeny-tiny!
* if you're looking for a true ash-based colour Yves Rocher do one (often on offer) also I can use the Avon black brow pencil applied very lightly to achieve an ash blonde colour when my hair-colour has no red or copper tones whatsoever. The Doll 10 grey brow is ok but can look too grey (I know; I'm a nutter ofcourse it's grey!) but few brow products work well with ash blonde hair shades which are tonally green or lilac-based.
