Benefit Gimmie Brow

One of the many things Benefit do well are brow products and although I must admit then when they first launched Gimmie Brow I may have questioned the need for it, I certainly don’t now.

I use this bad boy every day and think it may just be one of the best brow products I’ve used.

Gimmie Brow is what I call a ‘mascara’ for your eyebrows. The product itself is a brush on fiber gel that adheres to your skin and hair, helping to create brows where there were none before.

Available in two shades (Light/Medium and Medium/Deep), the gel also coats the existing brows you do have, making them appear darker and thicker with just a flick of the brush.

The applicator brush is really teenie and its soft bristles make for perfect, precision application of the product.

To apply, Benefit suggest that you use short pressing motions then stroke the brush tip along your brow to define the shape before combing through to blend and build brows.

I do think it takes a bit of practice to get the most out of this product, but after several goes I reckon I nailed it.

I like to wriggle the brush through my brows to ensure every hair is coated before using the tip to smooth and shape them.

Gimmie Brow offers a far more natural brow look than applying powders which is great for a day time face and its so quick and easy to use its perfect for people who don’t have loads of time to spend on their make up, like me!

 It’s a great, water resistant long wearing product that lasts all day and is compact and cute so barely takes up any room in your make up bag.

Gimmie Brow is fairly expensive given its size at £18.50 for 3g, however if like me you plan on using this every single day then frankly I think it’s worth it.

Gimmie Brow is available to buy now.

Eternal Brows Launching on Ideal World

Want fabulous eyebrows and on the hunt for a product to help you achieve them?  

Yeah, me too!

Well, then you must take a look at one of the MOST comprehensive brow kit I’ve ever come across.

The Eternal Brows Kit is launching exclusively on Ideal World tomorrow and is one hell of a kit!

The set includes 3 semi permanent bendable shades,3  brow arch stencils, a double ended brush, a spooley brush AND tweezers!

Seriously, everything you could want to create beautiful brows to shape your face is in this kit.

The powders are in shades Blonde, Saddle and Mahogany and you can use them alone or blend them together easily to create a bespoke and accurate shade to closely match your own brows.

The double ended brush with its soft bristles allows for accurate and even distribution of the product across your brows while the spool brush leaves them groomed to perfection.

The powders are soft but rich and thick in texture so they stay on your brows and don’t budge, which is just what you need.

Shade Blonde

The formula is super long lasting and after 12 hours of wearing it my brows were still looking great, or ‘On Fleek’ as someone commented on Instagram! 

Shade Saddle

 

I found everything in the kit useful, except for the stencils, and thats purely because they just didn’t match the shape of my own brows.

Shade Mahogany

No matter how I placed them on my face, my natural brow shape just wouldn’t allow for me to use them. I’d have looked very weird if I had!

So, stencils aside (which to be honest I wouldn’t ever use anyway) I really like this set!

If you like the look of it too then you need to set a reminder for tomorrow, July 17th at 12pm because The Eternal Brows Kit is launching exclusively on Ideal World, Sky channel 654, Freeview 22, Virgin 747 and Freesat 812 and it will cost £29.99.
