Benefit Gimme Brow Review

Considering I'm meant to be imposing a spending cut on myself, I seem to be ticking off the items on my spring beauty wishlist pretty swiftly. To be fair, I did manage to get a £10 discount on this item, thanks to some Debenhams card rewards, so this was a real bargain for me. I have a number of brow products in my stash - some fill, some shape and some set. This little beauty does them all in one sweep of a brush. It's safe to say I'm completely in love with the Benefit Gimme Brow.

A month or so ago, reviews of this product featured in many a beauty bloggers posts. So many of them had raved about how great the product was and what it could do, that I really wanted to give it a go. I'd seen it on many a trip to Boots but resisted the urge to buy it there and then, as I knew this was the product I wanted to spend my Debenhams rewards on. After finally getting the chance to go to a Debenhams store, I picked up the Gimme Brow in the medium/deep shade, which is the ideal shade for my hair colour. For those with fairer hair, there is also a light/medium shade.

One thing I really liked about this product was the small applicator. So many brow products with a wand applicator tend to be the same size as a mascara wand, which can be a little awkward when trying to fill your brows. As this applicator is so much smaller, it allows for a more precise application and you're less likely to end up with brow gel all over your face!

What's great about this product is you can build it up to be as natural or as bold as you'd like. The gel formula clings to the hair and skin to create a fuller look. The product is super quick and easy to apply. Simply use the wand in small, soft strokes to fill the brows and create the shape you desire. The gel sets quickly, so you're left with a non-sticky, non-crispy feel to your brows - you can't even tell it's there. The formula is water resistant and smudge proof, so your brows will stay in place all day, no matter the weather - I've had plenty of opportunity to test this out with the wonderful British weather!

I am so, so impressed with the Benefit Gimme Brow and I have a feeling this will be my go-to brow product from now on. It does it all in one tiny tube and I'm more than willing to pay the full £17.50 price tag for such a convenient little product. I simply cannot fault it.
