August Favourites
Happy September, everyone! Last month was largely comprised of preparation, packaging and saying goodbyes. While there was a lot of room for beauty shopping while I was out and about buying essentials, I held back in anticipation of the shopping that would come in Paris, and for this reason most of my favourites this month are old products that have stood the test of time for me.
The Brow Game Changer
I am obsessive and fussy when it comes to brows so it's needless to say that I don't fall in love with brow products often. I've been a powder girl since day one, as the pencils I had tried had never stood out to me. Sticking to a pigmented, dark brown powder was working just fine - but I felt as though I could find better. When my usual powder ran out, I went hunting... And found Australis's 'Oh Hai Brow' palette.
This palette drew me in for a number of reasons. Firstly, it comes with two, perfect shades. They aren't too warm and aren't too grey either, which is my number one issue with brow products. These powders are buttery and pigmented, but not to the point where they look crazy when applied.
The second big thing for me with this palette is the wax and it instantly became a brow game changer. Sparse patches in my brows had always looked a little sad due to straight powder not adhering to the skin the way I wanted it to. Applying the wax first gives the powder something tacky to adhere to, and my brows have never looked more evenly filled.
I was also incredibly pleased to find out that the tiny, angle brush included is actually completely useable. This is so, so rare and I actually prefer the way this brush applies in comparison to my regular eyebrow brush. The little highlight is great as well, as it's right there with easy access.
I highly recommend this to anyone who can get their hands on it! What has been your eyebrow game changer?
The Review: Maybelline's Brow Drama
Brows are by far my most favourite part of my makeup routine. Filling them in makes all the difference to my look and I love reading about new products to try. When I saw that Maybelline were coming out with an eyebrow gel I was so excited, especially since they are one of my favourite pharmacy brands.
I've read a lot of reviews on this product that were negative but decided to give it a go anyway. The two major complaints were the shade range and the brush being too large. There are no arguments to be made when it comes to the range of colours to choose from, I luckily fit into the category of people who's shade is available. However, I've had no trouble with the brush size whatsoever, it actually fits perfectly to my brow shape and makes doing the job so much quicker.
When it comes to formulation this is amazing. My eyebrows don't feel stiff or crunchy and actually feel like there's no product on them at all. The pigment in the gel definitely tints them, though I still like filling them in regardless. Another great thing about this product is that there is no drying period where you eyebrows are left looking wet - they look perfect right away.
I think if you have medium to dark hair and medium to thick eyebrows you will love this product. If you have lighter hair or thin brows I'm no so sure you would get along due to the colour selection and the brush being large, unless you don't mind a tiny bit of clean up after application.
What is your favourite brow product?
