12 Days of Favorites! Day 9: Brows

0 Comments
If there's one thing that a vast majority of the beauty world is obsessed with and takes very seriously, it's brows.
When I think of brows, I think of two brands: Anastasia Beverly Hills and Benefit. Both are known for their brow products. Ask any makeup lover and most of them will have at least one brow product from one of these brands in their collection. I, myself, have never dabbled in the world of Benefit brows. But for a long time my go to brow product was the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow definer. I'm still debating whether or not to give the Dip Brow a go.
Now, it may surprise you to know that the Brow Definer is not one of my favorite brow products of 2017. I do love using this when I'm going out or want to take my time doing my makeup for a specific look.
For every day, my go to products are on the more affordable end of the spectrum.
I have surprisingly been gravitating towards my Soap and Glory Archery DIY Brow Bar. Soap and Glory has been one of my favorite brands since I first used it when I was abroad in London for a semester. They have never let me down. I still use their Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in the shade Nudist to this day! It's one of my holy grails! Pretty much all of their Sexy Mother Pucker products are fabulous!
With this it's super easy for me to grab my brow powder and run it through my brows just to make them a bit more defined. I'm lucky in that I have fuller brows so I don't have to try as hard to make them look good on an every day basis. This product has a clear wax, a highlight, and two powder shades. I initially used a mix of both shades, but since going darker I exclusively use the dark shade.
In the past I have used Anastasia Beverly Hills' brow powder and was underwhelmed. It didn't do much for me and so it's been sitting in a drawer collecting dust ever since. It also didn't help that the shade was much too warm. I highly recommend giving this a try if you're looking for something that is super quick and easy for every day.
On to my favorite brow gel! Does it surprise you that I've chosen another Colourpop product? No? Yeah, me either.
Let me tell you I was skeptical about this at first. The product itself is somewhat creamy and white. Being that I have moderately dark hair I wasn't sure how this wouldn't leave a whitecast on my brows. But all I do is apply the amount that I need and then just go over it with the spoolie end of my brow brush and BAM good to go. This makes my brows look so full and fluffy, but THEY DON'T BUDGE. Seriously, I don't know how they do it.
This product retails for $6 and I'm going to stock up the next time I place and order on the Colourpop website! If you're interested in any of the Colourpop products I've mention just throw this one in your cart too. Might as well!
What products do you use on your brows? I'm always up for suggestions to something new!
