Benefit Gimmie Brow Review

This is going to be a short and sweet review on the Benefit Gimmie Brow $22 brow gel.

This product retails for about $22 at Sephora, which is quite expensive for a .1 oz tube. But then again, there isn't very many products like this on the market. Basically Gimmie Brow is a mascara for your eyebrows I guess you could say. It has a wand that looks like a mascara tip, yet much smaller, which fits perfect on the little brow hairs.

It claims to be water resistant, long lasting, and buildable for natural-looking brows.  It's supposed to lock your eyebrows in place so that they don't end up looking like this by the end of the day:


(that's not me by the way, just a picture I found on google haha)

This product is absolutely perfect for those gals who really would like to go for the whole "bold brow" look but are kind of afraid to go "too bold" if you know what I mean. This is especially true for girls still in highschool or junior high, where it's sort of out of the norm to have bold brows. This product is perfect for that. It fills in brows without looking too over the top, perfect for everyday and on the go looks. I have the shade Light/Medium.



The only downside to this product is that, I have very sparse eyebrow hairs so when I apply only this, you can kind of tell that the product is on my skin, not just my eyebrow hairs, so it looks kinda weird. But you can only see that when you look really close up. Other than that this is a great product on days when I'm lazy and don't feel like puting much effort into my brows!

Was that short and sweet? Probably not but oh well xox

Product Rave: Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme

 This moisturizer is absolute perfection in a tub; its completely changed my skin. For the longest time I was opposed using moisturizer on my face because it seemed every product I had tried, was too thick and heavy and just seemed to make my face even more oily than it already was.

Nivea Soft Creme $5.39 claims to be a fast absorbing, light formula enriched with Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil for incredibly soft and supple skin all day long. It can be used on the face, hands, body, feet...basically anywhere. AND it can be found at the drugstore in a small 1 oz tin for $1.29, if you are unsure if you want to purchase the 6.8 oz jar. 

This is very lightweight yet moisturizes like a dream. It's the perfect moisturizer to use before makeup application, yet also the perfect moisturizer to use at night? IT'S JUST PERFECT. Even though I do have quite oily skin, I do get the occasional dry patch on my chin/cheek, especially in the winter, but if I apply this directly after cleansing/showering, my skin soaks it right up and wah la! Perfection. If you have dry skin, give this a try! If you have oily skin, give this a try! I mentioned this product in my Tips for Oily Skin post. You can read that post here. It's an overall great moisturizer that I can't recommend enough! xx

Review: Mac Paint Pot Painterly

Everyone seems to rave about this product...that's why I'm kind of nervous to write this review.
I bought this because I had been noticing more and more lately how veiny and red my eyelids are. Initially, I tried just putting a little concealer on my lids, but because I have such oily eyelids, it would crease immediately and look very odd. So I decided to give this product a try.

Throwback Product: Suave Kids Detangler

If you're a gal with long curly hair, you will understand the struggles of the endless tangles that seem to overtake your life.
