Benefit Gimme Brow Review

I recently purchased the Gimme Brow after wanting it for a very long time. It was a silly decision to purchase it when I did as I bought 3 other brow products a few days apart too (reviews coming shortly) but I don't regret it too much as I do think it's a decent product to have even though you can get similar ones for a lot cheaper. 

To begin with, I think it is extremely pricey for what it is. The product is absolutely tiny which is disappointing  as for £17.50 I expect a lot more product. This will definitely not last long as I fill in my brows every time I do my full make up routine. 

The actual product itself is very nice. I like how pigmented it is as with many brow gels I find them to be sheer. The product lasts on me all day and doesn't transfer onto my skin/clothes if I touch my brows. The product does not make my brows feel sticky or hard at all which is common in cheaper alternatives.

This is what Benefit says about the Gimme Brow:
"Bring on the brows! This innovative brush-on fiber gel adheres to skin & hair…creating brows where before there were none. It builds easily for thick, lush arches, thanks to a tapered brush for blending & precision tip for shaping."

I actually do not see any fibres at all when using this product. I'm not sure if this is because I don't notice them because my brows are full naturally, but I just do not see any. I find this quite disappointing as the only reason I purchased this was because it's something "new". 

What I think is excellent about this product is how small the brush is. There is no way you can make a mistake with this small brush! With some gels the brush is so big you end up getting it onto your skin so this is the perfect small size. 

I have the Gimme Brow in the medium/deep shade which is a great match for my eyebrows.

Price: £17.50
