Quick and easy!

I was lucky enough to pick this up in the Beauty Vault. I have red hair (but fairly dark brown brows), and they only had blonde in the Vault, but I thought it'd be worth a shot. I'm really glad I got this product. My previous brow routine was to comb my brows upwards with a spoolie + hairspray, and then spend 10 minutes carefully filling them in with a powder. Now (for daily wear) I spend 30 seconds with the L'Oreal Brow Plumper and I'm done. The packaging for this is pretty basic, it's just like a mascara tube, but it looks nice. The colour of the product is quite gold and shiny, but it actually turned out to be the perfect colour for my brows, as it makes them look super natural (they normally look quite dark with powder). You apply it with a little wand, if you have thin brows or an unsteady hand you probably want to invest in a smaller wand. My brows are pretty full already so it's fine. One coat is fine for this product, it dried pretty firm so can get clumpy if you try and put more on. I applied it by brushing my brows upwards (make sure you keep them trimmed if you apply like this) and it does an excellent job of filling in any gaps in my brows and setting them in place when I get a nice shape. One drawback is that it only really works in the areas you have hair, so I sometimes have to finish the tail of my eyebrows with a powder. It stays in place all day, and you will need a make up remover to get all the fibers off. I will definitely be purchasing this product again, it's made my daily makeup routine so much quicker and more natural looking. I probably wouldn't use this on its own if I wanted fancy makeup, but pair it with a powder or pencil.

Tips: Until you get used to applying this, do your eyebrows before your base - it's very easy to overdo it and stain your skin. If you have thin brows, apply it by brushing outwards, and if you want thicker brows apply it by brushing upwards.

A More Natural Brow

I really wanted to love this I was determined this would be my new big thing for my eyebrows.

I had overplucked my eyebrows at highschool much to my mum’s horror and they never recovered. I have tried all sorts of things pencils, gels, powders but because I’m quite fair and my eyebrows are quite a weird shade of dark blonde light blonde a lot of things tend to look really overdone on me so when this au natural brow gel popped up – jackpot !.

This came in a mascara shaped tube with a spoolie at the end. I prepped my brows by running a eyebrow brush over them just to pull them in line and thought I would try this on its own first. I did a sneaky swatch on my hand because I just needed to see the colour in a hurry haha – I did get a fright and was a bit scared to put this on my brows it was a goldy based light brown/blonde but it looked like it had shimmer so I was quite worried I was going to look ridiculous with shiny disco eyebrows.

However this was a different story when applied directly to my eyebrows. It was really easy to just quickly run over your eyebrows and the colour was actually perfect for me. No sign of the disco shimmer and it did dry to a matte finish so this was perfect. The only real issue I had was the fact that due to my over plucking I have incredibly thin eyebrows so the spoolie that came with this wasn’t really ideal for me. I decided to use my own smaller spoolie which worked much better for me. It’s a much more natural look than how I usually would do my brows but I loved it a fresh groomed look without looking to made up.

I did also try this over my usual routine of using the billion dollar brow pencil and this just gave it some extra oomph and a really nice finish.

It didn’t rub off over the day or smear or run, it held on until I removed it at night before I went to bed and removed easily with my ZA oil cleanser.

For $20.00 I will definitely be buying this again.

Tips: You might need a smaller spoolie if you have overplucked brows like myself

I have big brows and I find the spoolie too large for mine. Where did you get your smaller spoolie?

Perfect Addition!

I was lucky enough to pick this from the Beauty Vault and I'm so glad I did!

The packaging is plain, simple but effective. It looks like a mascara tube but isn't identical to any of my mascara's so I don't get it mixed up! It comes with a tiny conical wand which is the perfect size and shape for being precise but also getting the job done in a few swipes.

A quick swatch on my hand left me terrified - the light tint of colour looked the perfect match however there was shimmer everywhere!! Although slightly worried about having disco eyebrows I tried it on the next morning and it was just what I was after, the shimmer doesn't come off on the brows at all - thank goodness!!

I found the product easy to apply and very forgiving. Being only a tinted product its more a sheer wash of colour so you can fix any mistakes easily with a quick wipe of a finger. The colour blonde seems to be a perfect match for me and it held my brows in place without making them look or feel crunchy and uncomfortable.

This is the perfect product to whip through your brows in the morning as part of a natural makeup routine to make them look a little more groomed but if I'm wearing full face makeup I prefer to do my brows with powder/pencil and then use this over top to set them as it doesn't give enough colour/fullness on its own for 'done' brows in my opinion.

The fibres in this product I think are a bit of a gimmick, I can see them on the wand but I really don't notice a difference in the fullness of my brows. I also am not quite sure why the product is so shimmery on the hand but it doesn't transfer to the brow hairs so I'm not too worried..

Overall this is a really great product for someone like me who wears no makeup or very light makeup on a daily basis and wants something they can run through their brows in 2 seconds to make them look groomed, tidy and stay that way through the day.

Tips: For a 'no-makeup' look brush this through brows by itself but for a full face of makeup layer with powder/pencil first them brush this through overtop

I find it looks very shimmery too! Almost metallic bronze even. Weird.

The Brow Obsession Continues...

I was lucky enough to be able to pick this up in the latest BR Vault! I had previously been using the Benefit Gimme Brow but it was coming to the end of its life so I thought it would be a perfect time to pick this up. I got the shade Light/Medium which is great on my blonde eyebrows.

The packaging is pretty simple. You would be forgiven for thinking that it was mascara tube really. The tube part is black with gold writing on it, and the lid is a light bronzey shade - I think it relates to the shade but I haven't seen any other tubes of this. The brush is similar to a mascara brush. Coming from using the Benefit Gimme Brow it is honestly a wee bit too big. I find that I'm constantly getting colour around my brows as the brush is too big to just get it accurately on my brows. But maybe if I hadn't tried that first it might not concern me that I have to do a wee bit extra work. I must say though unlike the Gimme Brow this brush doesn't pick up too much product, so I don't have to wipe off the extra constantly which is great.

The product itself is quite a light gel consistency. It coats the eyebrow hairs really nicely and is easy to use. I just start at the inside side of the brow (closest to the nose) and work the product through to the end. I do this so that most of the product gets put at the start so my brows look thicker there. If you do end up using too much product I just use my separate spoolie brush to brush it through or use my fingers to clean up around the edges. This does set your brows quite hard, but I don't mind that as it isn't a common occurrence for people to be feeling up my brows so no one but me (and you) will ever know. It also removes very easily during my usual cleansing routine.

I love this for a natural easy look. It is fantastic for getting colour on and setting your brows all at once. As it even picks up on smaller hairs I love that it can make my brows look much fuller, although in all honesty it doesn't take much as they are so blonde. I think I would recommend this over the Benefit Gimme Brow, mainly from a price point of view as they both do an extremely similar thing.

I've never used the benefit version but I have to agree on wishing the brush was smaller. I do my tail with a pencil and then use this for the rest but it would be nice to only need to use this.

Plump o plump

Let me start off by saying that my go-t brow definer is the gimmebrow from benefit. So seeing a affordble option on th shelf got me all excited. However, though its a great product i did find some drawbacks. For starters i found the Maybelline Brow Drama’s brush far too big, and the shape was kind of average at filling in the brows. The mascara wand like shape of the brush makes application difficult for girls with thin brows because if you're anything like me, you will accidentally smudge your skin, and boy does this product have staying power. As the tip of the brush is quite big and rounded, it’s easy to make mistakes especially if your brows are very thin at the ends. But while the brush isn't the greatest, the formula is superb. It tames my more rebellious brow hairs, keeps them in place and definitely pumps up the volume! Overall i'd say its a great investment if you have thick brows, but for my thin browed girls find a smaller spoolie to use with this great product.

Tips: for my thin browed girls find a smaller spoolie to use for an easier application.

Love it - great brow product!

I managed to get my hands on this in the last Beauty Vault sale and love it!

I have tried a lot of different brow products and haven't really been blown away by many of them - until now.

I love this brow gel, the colour is perfect - I have dark blonde hair and it matches really well. What I really love about it is that it isn't 'chunky' - with other brow gels I find way too much product comes out on the brush and leaves chunky blobs either just above or under my brow or through my brow hairs which I then have to try and careful wipe off - this product doesn't do that at all. The perfect amount comes out on the brush.

I also have quite sparse brows and fill them in daily. The fibres in this gel really help to plump them up a bit and make my brows a bit more 'hairy' - which I like!

I usually brush through my brows twice with this in the morning after filling my brows in and it provides more volume and sets them in place for the day.

I rate this way more highly than Benefit's Gimme Brow and this one comes with a much lower price tag!

Tips: Brush through the tail of the brow first to distribute most of the product and then move to the head of the brow.

Brow Perfecter!

I have been wanting to try this product ever since it was released in New Zealand, hoping it would be a dupe for Gimme Brow by Benefit and it did not disappoint!

It is an easy to use mini wand applicator that you can brush through your browns to define and thicken your natural brows. I use the blonde colour and it is a perfect match for me!

Due to the applicator I have found it very easy to apply and I love the results as it creates a very natural finish to your brow routine! It lasts all day and is easy to remove with any makeup remover.

Voluminous eyebrows for everyone!

Perfect Brows everytime....

i've been using this for about four weeks now and i love it, i thought i would try it when i ran out of my usual Billion Dollar Brows and bought this instead, i adore the little brush, fits perfectly on my brows and gives them such a flawless look. I use it alone on my days i do my "no makeup, makeup look" and it just completes the look. I do find it abit harder to remove as its really baked on my brows and kind of comes off in lumps but nothing major and doesn't remove my actual brows. totally worth it and the price is great as well compared to other brands

Perfect !

I have this but in "medium brown" I love is product as an alternative to filling them and sculpting them everyday as every now and then I like to go all natural but still like to have brows on point, it works great at filling in the sparse areas and keeping them in place all day! I use this even when I fill and sculpt my brows to make them look fuller and thicker !! I love this invention as it can be used for natural looks aswel as done up looks.

I have super long eyebrows and the way it basically glues my brows down has saved my life ! The wind will always catch them otherwise and they are a complete mess. I'm 100% addicted to this product!

LOVE this product!

I just purchased this product but in "medium brown" after reading reviews and hearing all about this and I am so happy with my purchase! I love this product it emphasises my brows - If you want a natural look all you need is this tool but you can also use an eyebrow pencil to fill your brows in before you use this product. It works great at slightly darkening my lighter hairs and keeps my brows locked in place all day.

Tips: If you smudge some of this on your face let it dry before you try and remove it (so much easier and it brushes off skin).
