My Everyday Brow Routine! (Drugstore Edition!)

Quick & Easy!

I have thicker brows and always thought that it wasn't necessary for me to fill them in, just pluck and go. Boy was I SO wrong! haha. I've been through a brow journey... trying to find what works and what doesn't. I previously enjoyed the NYX brow pomade but now I have a NEW brow routine that's a lot quicker! Brows are personal preference, I'm pretty happy with how they're looking lately and if you want to know what I've been using keep reading! :-)

*L'Oreal Brow Stylist Prep & Shape Pro Kit in Medium to Dark - This kit was heaven sent! It comes with everything you need to prep and fill in your brows. The tweezers are really good, the spoolie and angled brow brush gets the job done right, really great tools to have. I use the wax to outline and shape my brows and then I go in with the brow powder to fill in. The colors are perfect for me but if you need something lighter they do sell the light to medium kit! It's $15 which is totally worth it to me since it comes with everything you need and it's so tiny!

*Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara in Browny Brows- This is one of my favorite purchases in a long time! First, it's only $2.99! Second, it works so well! I highly recommend this product because it helps keep your brows in place and it also contains tiny fibers that makes your brows look fuller! I love to use it on it's own for a quick brow day or after using the L'Oreal kit. I use it to take away the powdery look after using the kit. Can't say enough great things about this product! :-)

If you're looking for products to spruce up your brows I would recommend these in a heartbeat! The best part.... they are at the drugstore! Completely accessible and coupons are always available!

Review: Brow Envy by Too Faced!

Stepping Up My Brow Game!

Brows... the feature I tend to ignore (horrible, I know! haha) All I really do is pluck them and go about my day but I've been experimenting with a few new products to try to get myself out of the rut. I came across the Too Faced Brow Envy kit during the Sephora VIB sale and decided to give it a try. It seemed reasonably priced compared to other brow products, retails for $39 plus at the time I got a discount too. It comes with a lot of great things for brow beginners, like myself, that lets you achieve the perfect brow!

The packaging is really great! It's made of a sturdy tin about the size of the Too Faced eyeshadow palettes so it stores away really well. Here's what the inside looks like:

It comes with a guide on how to do your brows and stencils for shaping which is pretty amazing! Before this palette I thought my brows were deep enough in color and thick enough too. I didn't think this kit would make a huge difference but it definitely stepped up my brow game! I feel like it completes my makeup looks and my brows look more defined. My confidence goes up a notch every time I use it!

Here's a closeup of what you're getting! First off is the setting wax, there's no color to it and it's like hair spray for you brows! It's a really great wax that doesn't flake throughout the day. Below that is the brow shade in blonde which is a light cool toned brown, really smooth and silky. I tend to use it as a mixing shade for the beginning of my brows. Next to that is the color brunette which is a medium brown, it's not too dark but it fills in the rest of my brows perfectly! Above it is the highlight which is a milky pink color with a cream to powder finish. It's an amazing color and really lifts the brows to make you seem more awake.

The mini tools that are included in this kit are pretty good as well! I love the angled brush because it s perfect to apply the powders while still achieving a natural look. The spoolie is also great to brush the hairs before applying the wax. Now... the tweezers are the only thing in this kit that I wasn't too happy with. It's really hard to pluck hairs with these, every time I try I end up getting skin which is so painful! I have my own tweezers from E.L.F (only $3) that I've used for years so I use those instead.

Here's what the colors look like swatched:

Bottom line: This kit is worth the money! I would recommend it if you're looking for guide on how to enhance your brows. I use it on a daily basis, even if its just the highlight and wax on days that I'm not wearing a full face of makeup. It makes a huge difference! It's an amazing kit with great quality products and tools, make sure to try it if you've been searching for an awesome brow kit. :-)
