Tame Those Brows

I was never a huge brow girl until lately.  I could never find the right color to fill in my brows and they always seemed to have a mind of their own when it came to tidiness.  

Then this little package came in one of my beauty boxes and I thought "What the heck, why not try something a little different?"  
 
 

I love the packaging.  It's cute and small and I like the look of the goldish silver tube swimming arund in the bottom of my handbag.  It held my brows up pretty well and kept them in check for the better part of the day.

That's where I start to fall out of love with this product.  Every time I've used this product it has made my brows look wet and slick. Even with a light hand. It also made them really hard and it would flake off around the edges as the day wore on.

Now I'm not saying this is a bad product by any means, but it just doesn't work well for me.  Maybe if I just lightly brushed it over part of my brows it would work better, but that defeats it holding things in place in my opinion.  Especially when my brows go every which way when I let them run wild.  I have not given up on brow gels and brow products though.  My ideal product would be one where I could apply it thick enough to get the hold I need without it looking slick and oily.

  1. I actually never do my eyebrows! I keep thinking I should give something like this a try, but I also don't want to add anything thing to my routine, you know? Good review, I'll keep my eyes out for something good!

    1. The only thing that I didn't mind putting in my brows that worked well was my mascara. I have dark brows (I'm a natural brunette) so swiping my mascara lightly over my brows kept them in place and added a little color too. I know it sounds weird but give it a try!

  2. I have hard to tame brows too. I have yet to find anything that works well. Your review is descriptive and informative. I am still searching for something that works. Carolyn, provided a good suggestion that I'll try. I look forward to future posts from you.
