Anastasia Queen of Brows

Recently (while in New York) I purchased some bits from Anastasia Beverly Hills, I haven't been happy with my 'brow game' for a while now and knew that if Anastasia couldn't sort them then I was a lost cause. Long story short, I'm a new woman. And if I ever met Anastasia (I'd die on the spot) I would give her a big wet one cause she has given my eyebrows a new lease of life. Since I have bought these products I have been using them on a daily basis, and I really can't see me changing up my brow routine anytime soon.

Brow Powder Duo




Having red hair makes finding brow products with a red undertone can be a pain to say the least, so thankfully Anastasia Beverly Hills has a brow colour to suit absolutely everyone; The shade I got was 'caramel', I adore how this has the two colours, on 'no makeup' makeup days I opt for the lighter shade, for night time I generally use the darker, though mostly I mix the two. The colour has an ashy undertone, and is still red, which I like, very buildable too. This can be bought on Beauty Bay for €21.10, which isn't cheap. Do you need this? Probably not, unless you find it difficult to find a brow colour on the high street that suits you i.e very blonde, or a redhead. But I will definitely be repurchasing this.


Dipbrow Pomade


This was definitely the product I was most excited to try. And it lived up to every expectation. Stop what you're doing, and go and get this right now. I've used this everyday for the last 6 weeks and as you can see, I've barely made a dent in it, so this will last me ages! A little goes a very long way with this, it lasts all day, and stays on through the horrible damp weather we have here at the moment, sounds like an absolute dream? Because it is. Also available on Beauty Bay for €18,60. Honestly, if this was twice the price it would still be worth it. Using the dipbrow makes getting a precise, sharp brow so much easier.

No. 14 Brush


So on my voyage of brow discovery, I discovered the secret of having your brows 'on point' it's a spoolie.This makes all, I mean all the difference.After each step brush 'em through and it makes them look less overdone, less drag, unless of course that's the look you want in which case you do you.
 On the other side is an angled brush, which generally is the best shape brush to use when filling in your brows, it just makes the whole process easier. Beauty Bay doesn't stock this brush but they have a slight variation of it for €17.40 you don't need this brush but I definitely would pick up a spoolie

Clear Brow Gel


I've always used Essence brow gel, and always found that it made no difference to the staying power of my brows. After hearing fantastically good things about the clear brow gel I bit the bullet and bought it, available on Beauty Bay at €20 it's steep enough for a brow gel. But lads, this is the hero product of all the goodies So it doesn't smell great, quite strong, chemical scent; which doesn't bother me personally. You may as well have brushed superglue through your eyebrows, they will stay exactly the same for 12,15 hours no bother. If you had to get one brow product I would get this

Hope this helped any of you who are feeling that your eyebrows need some major TLC. They've definitely upped my brow game.
Happy Monday everyone!
