| Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow in Medium/Deep... How cute is the packaging? |
This is what I would sing when I'm growing my brows out. I was born with unruly and sparse brows. I have embraced that and just been filling it in everyday and hope for the best. But it has become a chore that I don't really enjoy doing. One thing that annoys me the most is that I don't always get them right, until the Benefit Gimme Brow* (US $22.00 / CA $26.00) came along.
Gimme Brow is a volumizing brow gel with innovative brush-on fibre that would adhere to and stay on your skin and brow hair. It comes with a tiny brush that allows precise work and let you define the arch you want. You can use the tip to shape the arch and the end or turn it vertically to comb the thicker part of your brows. It's pretty foolproof.

The whole thing is pretty tiny, which concerns me because I do need to dip once or twice for each brow application. For people who want even more coverage, they probably need more products. At $22/$26 a pop, I sure hope I can use it for a few more months. I am not sure how long this tube will last me, but then again, I have had this over a month, and it's still going strong.
While it does a great job to fill my brows and reach most spots, I do sometimes need more coverage in some problematic spots (overplucked area or where I accidentally trimmed too much hair D: ). So I would take a angle brow brush and get some product around the wand and apply on those places. It works really well that way, too.

That takes me back~ My aunt used to tell my mom to use mascara on her brows (as they both couldn't use mascara on their lashes). It was something I tried out a few times in early 2000's as well~ I like that this has a smaller brush that controls easily, but yeah, drying out might happen faster too. Anyway, like how it looks on your brow though~
ReplyDeleteunfortunately or fortunately my brows don't ever need help with volumne. bushy can good word to describe them if i ever forget to keep them tamed. do these actually have fibers in them? i couldn't really see in the swatch.
ReplyDeleteI love your eyebrow shape! That brush is so cute :) Where's the bar brow in Montreal? My eyebrows needs to be taken care of!
ReplyDeleteYou know what I have tempted to use mascara to fill in my brows lol. I do really like how this brow gel performs (not for your lashes though).
ReplyDeleteIt's a fortunate thing for sure. Definitely embrace your natural full brows! I do think it does have fibres in it, it's more apparent when I accidentally got a big lump of products on or if I use an angle brush to dip the product from the applicator. Does that make sense? lol
ReplyDeleteThanks! That whole thing is super cute. The brow bar is in the DIX30, Brossard Sephora... I hope that's close to you :)
ReplyDeleteGreat review! I really like this too :)
