I returned this item. [SEP] Very pretty shade of gray.  Perhaps it is my skin type, but it smudged and for that reason I couldn't use it.  On the upside, if you are looking for an actual gray brow pencil this is it.  I bought two boxes, it would have been enough to last for at least a year.  You got the original plus additional refills in each box.  I was disappointed that it didn't work our for me, but like I said, it may have been my skin type.  Great price.
