I was enjoying using my Loreal micro tattoo eyebrow definer, but it started drying up after a few months and I pressed harder on it and bent the applicator. I’ve read some reviews that say the same thing for these felt tip pen like products, very uneconomical, shame. Also the silver coating on the pen started wearing off quickly and stuck to my fingers, really annoying. I’m really unsure what to go for next, what is everyone’s favourite brow product?

Benefit Goofproof. At the moment I’m using Urban Decay Darkhorse eyeshadow in my brows but will return to Goofproof when this is panned (if ever).

Thanks Valm. I have used other Benefit brow products and liked them so I’ll add this one to my possible list and look out for deals on it.

I have tried all manner of brow products but I aways go back to Avon Glimmerstick as I find it's really good and easy to apply. I sometimes use their brow gel pot stuff for a slightly heavier look, I brush it on lightly with a cotton bud but you've got to be careful as it's quite pigmented (in deep brown), I don't want slug brows! :rotfl::rotfl:

I forgot about the Glimmerstick. Yes, this is a good one. Avon is just not as accessible to me.

I think this is a bit of a silly question but what is the Avon website where you can buy? I think I could only find an individual consultants site the last time I googled Avon, which is fine but also weird..?

One UU this morning:

Paula’s Choice Daily Replenishing Body Cream 210ml WBA in the future. I received this for free (only paid the shipping cost) as I had filled in a customer survey for Paula's Choice. Nice body lotion, helps keep my body moisturised. Has a slightly weird scent to me, though mose PC products do. It's a rich body lotion but I've enjoyed it

Guys thanks so much for your suggestions but ummm.. I ended up having time to kill before work and popped in to Boots! I decided not too spend so much on Benefit. I found something similar to Avon glimmerstick and it looked like it would apply really silky smooth, but I was concerned about the fat-ish tip for the eyebrow ends. I ended up getting a Max Factor pencil. I haven’t used a traditional pencil before. It also has a brush and my spoolie broke months ago and I have still been using it awkwardly so this was a plus. After using my random bunch of eyeshadows more regularly I realise I just needed another suitable palette with enough light shades, so I got the Max Factor Rose palette. Not used a rose palette before and am looking forward to it! I had to stop myself from buying the other too palettes thinking well I’ll have a complete set then and can get rid of everything else! I’ll review what I have and see if this is actually a smart option or not. I was then elligible for the free gift containing mascara; will def use, brown eye liner; will def use, bright pink lip liner; will prob GA/sell, pink/nude lip gloss; really nice looking but I don’t need a lipgloss for a while so may GA/sell.

I always get swayed by the GWP too. Let us know how you get on with the brow product. x


I have two UUs from yesterday:-


The Ordinary Granactive Retinol sample. This made my skin feel sticky so WNBA. All the samples are gone now.


E45 200ml. Have a 400ml to open next.
