The Dynamic Duo

When i was around 15 years old i got a little carried away when plucking my eye brows and i regretted it immediately! Its a mistake that so many girls tend to make and it isn't the end of the world but man is it a pain in the ass! Since then my brows have been one of my most precious facial features. Eye brows are such a vital part of your face, especially as they are a key part of framing your face so it is so important to take care of them! I find it such a shame when girls for some reason decide to shave their eye brows off and replace them with a thin pencil line. The most important thing is to respect the natural shape and colour of your eye brows as much as possible and then work with them from there.

I have been on the hunt for a good brow gel and brow pencil for the longest time and finally i found my answer - Benefit. Just before Christmas I walked into to Boots, straight over to the Benefit counter and asked her to fill in my brows so they looked as natural but still slightly bold - thats just how i prefer my eye brows. Around 2 minutes later I looked in the mirror handed to me by the Benefit girl and the result was amazing, exactly what i wanted! I immediately asked for the products that she had used and thanked her muchly. The two items she used were Benefit's Instant Brow Pencil and Benefit's Speed Brow. What is so great about this combination is that they can be used as a pair or separately, depending on what look you want to achieve. 

The Instant Brow Pencil is a double ended product where one end is a brow brush (a really good one as well!) and the other is the brow pencil. I use the colour "light", which i believe is one of the three available shades. The pencil itself is amazing! The colour and the texture of it makes it easy to apply as well as resulting in a natural look. 

The Speed Brow is probably my favourite of the two and the one I use pretty much everyday (we all get a little lazy sometimes). It is a brow gel with a slight hint of colour, not too much but just enough to make it look like you have spent time on your brows when really you spent maybe 20 seconds. Bliss.  The Speed Brow is a product which is produced in one netural colour that suits basically all eyebrows. Layering this on top of the Instant Brow Pencil also works wonderfully and adds that finishing touch. Cost wise, these two products are reasonably priced in my opinion considering their quality (Benefit nailing it once again). I recommend both to the moon and back!

Much Love,
