Anastasia Brow Definer vs Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Swatch and Review

Hello! Today I have a comparison that I've been dying to do, since I couldn't find anyone talking about it on the internet. For this comparison, I'm going to give points for each subcategory. 
I bought the ABH Brow Definer in the color Ebony from here for IDR 350.000
My friend got me the Etude Drawing Eyebrow #6 Black from Korea, which cost IDR 50.000.

Anastasia Beverly Hills, which is famous for its high quality brow products, released Brow Definer on January 7th, 2016. It's a triangular brow pencil which makes it easier and faster to draw or fill your eyebrows. The exact description from the ABH website is:

This retractable pencil—which took two years to formulate and perfect—has a unique, triangular tip that can be used three different ways to outline and fill brows.

Etude House Drawing Eyebrow has been dominating the Asian brow competition ever since it launched, and has since become a staple in every asian teenager's makeup kit. Meanwhile, there's only a very short description from the Etude House website:

This is a pencil type eyebrow that fills in between brow hair. (Thanks, Sherlock -_-)

Quantity and Value for Money:

On their website, the amount of products are different:

EH contain 0.25 g / 0.008 oz for $23

ABH contain 0.20 g / 0.007 oz for $5.99 (on Ebay)

Simply because Etude House released a new version of the Drawing Eyebrow which has more product in it, as you can see below. As for value for money, of course Etude House wins this round because they're sooooooo much cheaper! 

For longevity, I did use both of them to the mall yesterday (hello, mismatched eyebrow! Everybody was staring at me yesterday hahahaha) from 7 pm to 10 pm, and both seem to hold up well. Both are easily removed using my waterproof makeup remover.

Packaging:

ABH came in a beautiful rose gold packaging, with complete information so the users don't have to google certain information.

EH came in just the pencil, no box, no English writing in sight. Users definitely have to google informations or go to their websites.

Both have 2 sides, with product on one end and spoolie on the other. The spoolie itself is differently shaped, and the ABH spoolie is easier for blending as well as softer compared to the Etude.

Formula:

ABH formula is somehow creamier and easier to blend. I also find that I don't have to tug my eyebrows when I use this product.

EH is slightly chalkier and not as creamy as ABH.

To see my live application of these two products, you can watch this video:

Mechanical Rotation:

I didn't even think to put in this category, but when I finished taking pictures of everything, I found that the mechanical rotation of ABH is smoother and easier compared to EH.

I think if you have the budget to spend more on an eyebrow product, go for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer simply because it's better. I really didn't want to like the it because it's expensive, but I do have to admit that while they're similar, these to products are different.
