Two weeks ago, I shared my FAVORITE way to grow eyelashes and brows. This organic castor oil that costs $12, won’t kill your budget, or you, for that matter. (I shudder when I think of the chemicals in serums, let alone the cost.) I was shocked by how many people wanted to know more, so I’ll do a little tutorial soon with more information, and put it here for you.
In the meantime, I need to share another beauty favorite of mine: tinted eyebrow gel. Yep. This is happening! And it’s from the drugstore, too.
I’m not totally lacking in the brows department–I have enough that I don’t NEED to fill them in daily; also, I don’t want to. (#lazy) (also #notskilled)
But in recent years–just like my lashes–my brows have lightened a bit and thinned out in some parts. Plus, I have to give in to all the beauty bloggers and own that having a bit more defined of brows goes a long way to having a pretty face. Most days, I just wear concealer, mascara, blush, and this eyebrow gel.
This gel is tinted, comes in five colors (I use dark brown), and is a three-in-one: keeps your hairs in place, slightly darkens them, and plumps them up a bit. At first, I used this one–which I also love. But then I accidentally bought this kind with the fibers in them. At first, I almost returned it; but after trying out for a few days, I was sold. Because it defines my brows a bit more without it looking like I filled them in. That’s the look I go for–the one that makes it look like I didn’t do much. (Misleading, I know…) I still use both kinds, though! It’s all a matter of preference of whether or not you end up liking the fibers or not.
With either of these versions, there is a bit of a learning curve. My tips:
1) Use a light touch, with slightly flicking motions
2) Take a the excess product off the wand before applying
3) If it gets applied a bit too thick, let it dry then brush them through lightly with an eyebrow brush (I rarely have to do this)
I promise I’m not going to become a beauty blogger, because that is not my skill set at all. And reminder: these aren’t sponsored posts, just things I genuinely love. Although the Amazon link is affiliate and will earn me literal cents if you buy it from there. I don’t care though girl, go to Target!
If you use either of these, let me know how they work for you! Next week will be another cheap or free Friday Favorite!!
Until then, I’ll leave you with my subtle photo sharing this product. If that doesn’t sell you, I don’t know what else will.
