Benefit Brows! Goof Proof, Precisely My Brow, Gimme Brow+ & 24 hr Brow Setter
Written by: Swati on:
Hello hello! It's been a few weeks since I shared a post here. I was in the midst of moving houses and it was hectic! Packing everything up and unpacking & arranging them was a marathon job.
The good thing though is this that I organized my beauty stash again and a lot things I haven't spoke about on the blog yet came to light. Take these Benefit Brow products for example. They've been with me for months and it's a shame I hadn't featured them yet, especially since one of these has reached ride or die status!
I'm talking about the Goof Proof Brow Pencil, the Precisely, My Brow Pencil, Gimme Brow+ and the 24-Hr Brow Setter briefly today. Let's take a look!
1) Gimme Brow + ( available here )
This tinted gel is gives a natural fuller fluffy brow look in seconds, great for those quick makeup days. It provides slight hold but doesn't really fix the hair in place for long.
I was using the NYX Brow Mascara : reviewed here earlier, and while it is a really good product at a good price, the brush is a little big which can lead to a messy application if you are in a rush or aren't careful. I love the tiny brush Gimme Brow has, it gets every hair without creating a mess.
2) Goof Proof Brow Pencil ( available here )
This has a triangular tip which covers a larger area in each stroke making it quick to use. However, it can make my brows look too bold & thick if I'm not careful with it (one time I wasn't and it made me look like a wolf....or so I've been told). It's a lovely product, but I think it will work better for thin sparse brows. The full size comes with an attached spoolie on one end. Will I repurchase it? No, it's not for me.
3) Precisely, My Brow Pencil ( available here )
I prefer the result of this pencil over Goof Proof. It has an ultra fine tip which makes it very easy to draw thin hair like strokes. Since I have thicker brows, I like to fill in just the gaps which I think works better for me and gives me a more natural look. I have the mini of the pencil, which sadly doesn't come with a spoolie, but the full size has one on the other end. Will I repurchase it? Ummm... Probably sometime, if I find it on a good deal.
The NYX micro brow pencil is pretty similar to this one & is at a much better price, so that's the one I usually repurchase.
4) 24-Hr Brow Setter ( available here )
While I've been blessed with thicker bushy brows, the hair strands always fall downwards which makes the brows look sad & droopy. This clear gel works wonderfully to lift up & hold the hair in place all day long. Nothing keeps my brow hair as disciplined as this gel. On days when I have time I use a pencil to define & fill in the brows and follow up with the gel. Most days though I use the gel alone to keep the brows looking groomed. It's become my No.1 must have brow product! Highly recommend it ❤️
Here's a quick look at the applicators and the tips of the products to give you an idea. You can see how small the brush of Gimme Brow is, which makes it convenient to apply the product. And the dual bristles (long + short) on the 24hr Brow Setter. I like using the longer bristle side since it gets every hair.
xoxo,
