REFY reviews and discussion

Boring post apocalyptic packaging gives me this weird dystopian feel. It’s cheap and already looks outdated. Grays are going away… Reminds me of Rhode Beauty, another copy-paste grey-ish brand…

I am a massive fan, but I would also call myself critical. I do think the brand thrives on simplicity, it caters for a clean girl look, and I love that. The lip gloss is my favorite product, it has the best shine out of any lip gloss in the market, and I like the lipliner but not crazy about its setter. For the brow products, I feel like I’ve outgrown the brow sculpt, but I think to get it to work as expected do make sure to clean the accompanying tool on the other side. For face products, don’t pass on the double sided brush and blush, but the bronzer pulls too orange and patchy. The face gloss however makes the skin so dewy and fresh, perfect final touch.

i get why this is such a divisive brand, and even though i'm a devotee of their brow sculpt and brow tint gels, i'll be the first to admit they have their weak points. the packaging is a lil cheap feeling, with the lettering smudging off within weeks, and the light grey-ish plastic becoming visibly grimy all-too-quickly. i've never ended up buying any of their face or lip products, because they come across as remarkably unremarkable every time i try them out in stores. their brow products are where they really shine, and even then, they tend to have a pretty steep learning curve for application, which is understandably a deterrent for a lot of folks. to me, though, it's definitely worth the bit of finickiness. brow sculpt has the most bulletproof hold of any product i've ever tried, not budging an inch through literal blood sweat and tears. one word of advice: make sure your brows (and surrounding skin) are TOTALLY clean and dry before applying, or it will 100% clump and pill. it's best for a one-and-done brow/makeup look, and doesn't really play nice with other products. the more recent addition, brow tint, takes a much (MUCH) lighter hand, and doesn't have quite the rock-hard holding power, but gives me the most natural looking intensity to my brows. if it gets on your skin, wipe it off immediately, or it will stain - just keep a cotton bud or tissue at the ready, honestly. both of these products are really only well-suited to those already blessed with fuller brows, so if you're looking to fill in bare patches, they probably won't give you what you want. all in all, REFY isn't a brand for everyone, and tbh i think that's okay. they do what they do, and they do it well.

Packaging is sleek and pretty. Site is easy to navigate & overall I think they have a strong brand output. I've tried two products so far, one of the Cream Blushes (which I love) and the Brow Sculpt, which I've found to leave white residue on my brows once it drys. This may not be an issue for fair eyebrow havers, but with my dark & on-the-thicker-side brows its not ideal!

One of my fave brow gels. Keeps hairs in place and easy to work with! Double sided brush, helps with shaping
