L'Oreal Paris Brow Artist Plumper Review

The moment I saw this advertised on BR I felt a wee thrill run through me. I've been on the lookout for a brow defining mascara since trying a more expensive brand, and loving it. Alas, budgets being budgets I couldn't justify buying it so set out to find a dupe. I've tested a couple of brands along the way, and found the wands too big or the dark browns too light or too red toned. But this one, I had a good feeling about this one.

Off to my local Farmers I drove, only to find they'd sold out, however the tester told me that my feelings were right. The wand was little and easy to use (on my hand), and the colour - bang on dark brown. Perfect. Onto the Farmers website I hopped, and found they had stock available at my next closest Farmers, so the next day I went and bought it.

I've worn it every day since, which is only four days, but it only took one day to know I loved this. The gel formula glides easily through my brows, filling in the little patchy bits, and thickening my brows without giving me full on brow game (something my face wouldn't suit). What I end up with is a polished look, totally chic, and I've had more people compliment my 'look' in the last few days than I've had in months. The only thing that's changed? My brows. Oh, and my hair (thanks again BR! xx). It's kind of funny feeling gel in your brows, and when I raise my eyebrows or draw them together I can feel a strange stiffness, but it's by no means unpleasant. I haven't had issues with clumping, and the formula doesn't run.

I can honestly say that this is my new favourite beauty product. Can't recommend it enough.

I was lucky enough to be given the Medium/dark brow plumper, and was excited that i could try it before it hit the shelves. I love the thought of quick easy brows, as im lazy at the best of times with them. At first i didnt really know if i was using it correctly, as i didnt see any difference, other than my brows were stuck in place. After a couple of weeks or so of using it, i really couldnt love it, i watched tutorials on how to apply it, and i was using it correctly, but for me it was just not cutting the mustard unfortunalty. It may have been my brows that were the problem, but i couldnt see any more 'fullness' that i was hoping for. it was like the fibres didnt stick. another thing is if you look really closely, i could see sparkles, yes i said sparkles, well more like a really fine glitter on my brows. I asked my workmate as well if she saw them on hers and yes, she had glitter too. My guess is the fibres are the sparkly things which is meant to give you the 3D look, but it just wasnt what i was expecting. I really wanted to love this, but i cant. I will However, reccommend to people, as i think i am just one person with an opinion, I do no of others who love this. This product had potential of been amazing 'for me', but not at this moment. I may give it another go one day, but for now, i will stick to lazy brows. I hope this is better for others xx
