Hello Beauty Lovers!
I have been trying out a ton of products lately which is why I haven't done any reviews, I've also had two very sick doggies. But I wanted to review my new HG brow item. The Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade. First of all, Anastasia is the brow goddess, I will never trust my brows to any other products. There is just something about the way that Dipbrow has transformed my brows, it has changed how I do my makeup and how I see my face.
Brows are the most important step in my makeup routine because brows really frame the eyes and define the face. I have super sparse and very light brows because my hair is naturally a dirty blonde.light brown, so my bores match that. I dye my hair a very dark brunette that verges on black at it's darkest, and at it's lightest/most faded is a medium brow. Since I've really gotten into makeup I've used 4 products for my brows. One from revlon, it was a twist up waxy pencil, then I use a NYX brow powder duo, then I switched to a matte MAC eyeshadow. And I used the eyeshadow for a good few months. My issue is it wasn't defining my brows enough so I went on the search for my perfect product. Thanks to the lovely ladies and gents on Sephora's Beauty Talk I discovered the magic of ABH Dipbrow. And the funniest part is as I was considering buying it, one of my coworkers came in to work with PERFECT brows, so of course I attacked her and demanded to know what she was using, and it was Dipbrow, so I got my ass over to Sephora to meet my true love! It is very similar to a gel eyeliner but it's for perfect eyebrows instead of perfect eyeliner. As I mentioned I have very sparse brows that don't have a shape that I like. Dipbrow is thick enough and pigmented enough that I can really shape and build my brows into something that I love.
Initially when I decided to change my brow routine I was between Too Faced Bullet Proof Brows, Dipbrow and the Tarte Brow Mousse, thanks to reviews, beauty talk and my coworker, Dipbrow seemed the best to me.
From Sephora's Website:
What it is:
A smudge-free, waterproof pomade formula that performs as an all in one brow product.
What it does:
This creamy, multitasking product glides on skin and hair smoothly to create clean, defined brows. The standout formula works as a brow primer and provides color, sculpture, and shading. It is ideal for oily skin and in humid climates.
So far I haven't really been able to tell how well it will hold in in humidity because it's barely turning spring in my city, we still have sbow on the ground, and I also have dry skin. But I can tell you that it does last 16+ hours, I can't even tell you exactly how long it lasts because I have found it's limits.
It is totally worth the price because a teeny tiny bit does both brows.
I apply it with the ABH #7, it is a fantastic little brush, great for travel. It is the perfect size and thickness to achieve whatever brow look you want and it is super handy to have the spooley on the other end. I may pick up the #12 at one point just to have an extra brush.
The only thing other that I use after I have applied the Dipbrow is a bit of the ABH tinted brow gel in chocolate just to hold the hairs in place. I am not going to do a full review on this, but basically it is the best brow gel I have ever tried. I love that it is tinted because it adds a little bit more depth and dimension to my brows and it holds them in place really well without flaking at all.
Also I find some products can make the skin under my brows break out with horrible little pimples that hurt a lot. I have been using this for a good few weeks and so far I have had no issues, so that is a major plus!
As I said at the beginning, this is my Holy Grail brow product, I love it, I use it everyday and I cannot live without it! If you have not tried this product, go check it out, see if the lovely ladies and gents at Sephora can test it out on you. I promise you will fall in love!
So far it comes in Blonde, Auburn, Chocolate, Dark Brow, and Ebony, there are three new colours coming out in the fall.

Peace, Love, and Perfect Brows!

Warning: Right now I am breaking out and my skin is really dry and flakey but I still wanted to show some photos of the product in action so be warned, my skin is not looking as fabulous as it normally is, also I was playing with eyeliner today so my eyes are a bit of a mess, but since I trust all of my lovely readers to accept their imperfections and mine I am going to share anyways.

My natural brows, no product, I know, scary right?
Filled in brows with Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Chocolate
My whole face! Just for fun so you can see my brows and my hair colour
I do not own this image, this is just how I found which colour was the right one for me. There will be three more colours coming out this fall.
