Benefit Gimme Brow Review


Hello lovelies. So I caved and bought this after one of the lovely girls at Benefit tried it on me. She said I would love it and I do. You know how new things always get hyped up so much you get put off, well I didn't think this teeny weeny product would do much but I was wrong! This stuff is amazing! Gimme Brow is a brow volumizing fibre gel. The buildable micro fibres attach themselves to your eyebrow hairs creating a much fuller brow. It basically cuts out the need for filling in eyebrows with pencils or powders. It does it all in one quick application. Now I have Brow Zings and love it, but sometimes I just don't have time in the mornings to apply it, Gimme Brow takes half the time and gives the same effect if not better! It comes in two shades, light medium and medium dark. I got the light medium which is perfect for me.
How it works: sweep it back and forth through your brows starting at the outer end to create an instant filled in brow. The tiny brush gives the most precise application. It's that easy! Gimme Brow is waterproof and smudge proof! This is a summertime essential for natural, groomed brows in seconds. Gimme Brow retails at around £15.50 which I think is pretty pricey for such a minuscule product and I wonder how long this will actually last if used on a daily basis. All in all I like what it does to my brows.
 
What do you do to your brows?

Hair Care Essentials For Fine Limp Locks


Hello lovelies. Today I wanted to share with you my three must have products to boost lifeless hair.
I have baby fine hair that is highlighted. If I don't put any product in my hair, it will just look like a limp mop!
I have found these three beauties to cover all bases. Heat protection and hair repair, detangling and boosting roots for mega volume. Once I've stepped out of the shower, I spray Revlon Equave liberally all over my hair, this is a volumizing, detangling leave in conditioner. I have used this for years! It really helps with my super knotty hair plus the added volume is a bonus. I then use the Kerastase Ciment Thermique a heat activated reconstructing milk for brittle, damaged hair. Again I have used this for years!it's amazing for over processed hair. It leaves my hair silky soft and in great condition. For roots I go in with my trusty Paul Mitchell Extra Body Daily Boost. This is great because its specifically for use at the roots, giving mega lift and the handy nozzle is brilliant for really getting in there.
I typically wash my hair two to three times a week. On "dirty" hair days I just spray in some Batiste XXL Volume which brings my hair back to life in seconds and works brilliantly at keeping a pony tail in place.
