Didnt do anything.

Found it didn't do anything, was hoping to find a cheaper brow gel than my usual loreal one, but this didn't keep anything in place or keep my hairs down. Was super affordable to and may work on someone with little/thin or fine brows.

Tips: may work on someone with thin/ fine brow hairs.

entry level brow product

When I first started growing out my brows, I used this to help shape them. It is pretty much what it says - a gel in a mascara-type applicator.

Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara comes in a clear tube with blue accents, and the product itself is also clear. Unfortunately, this means that if you use this over a brow pencil, the colour ends up back in the tube, and it ends up looking murky and dirty even though it's just colour transfer.

The gel helps shape brows and tame flyaways, but doesn't add colour or anything - it's merely a tame and shine.

The applicator is a little large for the task at hand, which makes it easy to get product on your skin - this is easily removed with a cotton bud.

All in all, this is a very simply brow product, but it gave me a good idea of what i wanted, and eventually found in Benefit GimmeBrow (of which Essence does a decent dupe).

I didn't try this on my lashes at all, so can't comment there.

Tips: Super cheap, and good for fuller browed girls to help tame things.

Does the trick, not a fan of the applicator

I purchased this as I don't draw on my brows, but my brows naturally look messy and grow in the wrong direction, so I use brow gel regularly to slick them down for the day and keep them looking tidy. This product achieved that purpose for me. The packaging is simple; this comes in a simple clear tube with blue writing. Some lash and brow gels have separate brushes for hygiene reasons, but this doesn't. I personally wouldn't want to be using the same brush for my eyelashes as I would for my brows; this would particularly be problematic if you were using brow powder, as you'd end up transferring brow products onto your lashes (eek!). For me this is not really an issue as I don't use this usually on my lashes. The applicator looks like a standard thin mascara wand. I found it too thin at the end, as it would end up stabbing my eyebrows a bit and I'd like a wider brush so I could more easily cover my entire eyebrow in one swipe. The gel works really well, I find it sets my unruly brows in place for the day and they stay looking tidy and well groomed. Due to the long-wear nature of this, I'm sure it would also work well to set an eyebrow look. The gel doesn't go crusty in my brows and removes easily at the end of the day. I have used this a couple times on my lashes when I have overdone my mascara, to clear the clumps. This works well at smoothing out mascara clumps and fixing any mascara mistakes. The applicator is rather flimsy and I accidentally bent mine to become curved, so the packaging is definitely rather cheap. In spite of that, I find this gel achieves exactly what I want to achieve with keeping my brows slick all day, and at a really low price. It's not my favourite clear brow gel I have tried, but this definitely does the trick and I'd happily use it again.

Great for curly brows!

My eyebrows are a pain to tame! I don't like trimming my eyebrow hairs a lot because it grows back even longer. I used many waxes to try hold them down but they didn't last. This last for most of the day but it's easy to carry around and I apply it 2-3 times through the day but it works!

I haven't used this on my eyelashes as I never saw the need.

I don't use any eyebrow fillers/pencils as my brows are already full enough and this helps me keep them that way! Completely LOVE it! :-)

Tips: - Wouldn't recommend using this on top of eyebrow fillers/pencils as it will get dirty.

Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara - Review

I picked this up from my Farmers after I discovered they stocked Essence - the whole range is so cheap and most products are great quality! I was running out of my NYX brow gel so I thought why not give this one a go, and I wasn't disappointed! This is a great basic brow gel for the price.

This comes in a clear tube, with blue writing on it which is nice for the price point. Because the tube is clear, over time brow product does make it look discoloured and dirty but the product still performs the same. This tames brows very well, and holds my brows in place all day (they tend to droop down a bit sometimes!). It isn't crunchy or stiff, which is a problem I've run into with multiple other brow gels.

I would definitely recommend this brow gel, it performs amazingly for the price point and is even better than multiple brow gel's I've tried for up to 4 times the price!

Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara - Review

Picked this up when asking a friend for eyebrow product recommendations, specifically non expensive products. First time I'd ever used product on my eyebrows before and it didn't disappoint!

Holds my brows in place effectively. I use it as a shaper for my eyebrows before applying brow pencil, and sometimes on top of the pencil as well. Only downside is it can sometimes take a while to dry, depending on how much you put on.

Packeging is clear, simple and straight to the point. Basically what you would expect for your money. Only issue is that the clear product can get dirty easily, which doesn't look the best in the clear tube.

Tips: Put minimal on your brows for fast drying

Good for the Price

I found this product was good in terms of hold for my eyebrows and helped tidy up them too. Although the applicator was a bit larger than my eyebrow, so it definitely needed to be applied before anything else (foundation etc.). It also help to tame my baby hairs which is usually really tough for me to do, but was reasonably quick and easy. On the other hand, this product was a no in terms of mascara for eyelashes because it took too long to dry, so it just spread everywhere and didn't add any length or curl to my lashes. Overall I think this product was an affordable and easy accessible product for my everyday makeup and helping tame bushy brows.

Basically water

I picked this brow gel up from Farmers after searching around online in hopes of finding a cheap one. Unfortunately, I found it did nothing for my brows OR my lashes. When I used it on my brows, it had no hold at all. I might as well have put water on a spoolie. It also doesn't work as a mascara, which wasn't particularly surprising after the brow disappointment. I curled my lashes and then applied it and once again it was as if I had just applied water. My lashes drooped in less than five minutes. Overall I wouldn't recommend this product for either of its purposes.

Not a fan

This was a product I was really disappointed in - it definitely did not do what it claims it will or can do. My eyebrows did not stay in position after using this product - and I was quite disappointed and went back to the store to look for something else. The only positive about this product is the price - it is really affordable - but sadly did not deliver.

Essence lash and brow gel review!

This product I love to use on my brows a lot, but it doesn't do much for my eyelashes. Still very affordable and good for the price, I use this product a lot, and every time I use it I get compliments on my brows. I just feel its not very noticeable on my lashes but still recommend it as the price is very very cheap and will make your brows perffff!
