L'Oreal Brow Styler Plumper
Light/ Med, Med/Dark and Translucent

A few years back I discovered Benefit's Gimme Brow a tinted gel with built in fibers. It's a fabulous product and surprisingly, has not been copied in the mass cosmetic market until now.

Benefit has now increased their Gimme Brow shade options to three, they also seem to have shrunk the tube by a third.  I was, frankly, shocked and a wee cranky, when I took it out of the package.

Wha happind???

N.Y.C. New York Color Show Time Lash & Brow Mascara

$1.87 at Walmart (and online)

I know I can get a bit preachy about brows, but ever since I had them really professionally tended to, not zip waxed at my nail salon du jour, I am a die hard convert.

There truly is a difference when you put yourself in the hands of someone who is passionate about the art of brow shaping.  Recently, when I went to visit Pina, my brow maestro, she finished her magic with one last slight of hand.... a sweep of clear gel.

"You do finish your brows by brushing them up with clear gel, don't you???"  "Ummm, yes, of course I do Pina", I fudged.  Uggh...one more thing to apply each day.  Note to self:  Buy some clear brow gel.  Pina cannot be denied.

My beauty stars aligned, when I got a reach out then following week asking if I wanted to sample New York Color's Showtime Lash & Brow Mascara.  Kismet...yes please!!!
