For @abeautifulthing2015 we have two brow pencils swatched. Left is the new Charlotte Tilbury Brow Cheat in medium brown and right is Huda Bombbrow also in medium brown. Pretty close, eh? Huda pencil is a tad thinner by the way. But I like them both! #charlottetilburybrowcheat #hudabombbrows #browpencils #makeupswatches #notfitforprintbeauty (at Long Beach, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpQnSBHX6i/?igshid=1flz2u0oxp8s6

Hello and welcome back, Beauties!! My brows and I are constantly at war, so I’m always looking for new ammunition to win. Today, I’m putting a few of the ones I’ve tried recently up against my tried and true brow pencils. 

Out of all of the makeup tasks, the one that gives me the most stress is filling in my brows. I’ve used all kinds of products, from pencils to pomades, to try and get these things together. Right now, my main jam are brow pencils, so I figured I’d put my fave Benefit pencils up against a few others I’ve tried lately and share with y’all who the victor is.

Enough preamble. Let’s get into it!

We all know that I am heavily loyal to my Benefit Precisely, My Brow and Goof Proof pencils in shade 6. The color is perfect for my dark hair without being too warm. I could go on and on, but I’ve talked them to death enough here. Let’s just go to contestant number 2.

L.A. Girl came out with their Shady Slim Brow Pencil not too long ago. I heard so many people rave about it that I just had to try it. While I like the precision of the fine point, the color I picked up is a little too warm. I grabbed Espresso thinking it would be along the lines of Darkest Brown based on the swatches above. I can technically use it in the front of my brows, but that’s not always my jam. The pencil as a whole is okay, but not one I’m necessarily interested in trying again. It was just ‘meh’ for me. I found that I had to work a little harder than I’m used to for the color payoff. That may have been because of the shade though. Either way, I’m not that impressed.

Oh, Maybelline, how you’ve come through with this one. The Total Temptation Brow Definer definitely surprised me. It’s the perfect combination of the Precisely, My Brow and Goof Proof pencils that I adore. The Total Temptation has the angular point like the Goof Proof pencil, but also gives me the precision I get from a micropencil. The color is perfect and it makes doing my brows a lot less painful than other pencils have. The only thing that’s weird af about this pencil is the baby spoolie. As weird as it is, it actually helps brush the front of the brows really well.

Out of all of the pencils I’ve discussed today, only one can be victorious.

Guys, Maybelline slayed the game with the Total Temptation Brow Definer. I still love my Benefit products, but Maybelline really stood out to me and I’ve been reaching for it regularly.

Let me know in the comments below what your go to brow pencils are so I can try them and do a part two to this post.

Until next time, Beauties!! xoxo

Makeup Battle: Battle of the Brow Pencils Hello and welcome back, Beauties!! My brows and I are constantly at war, so I'm always looking for new ammunition to win.

  Welcome back, Beauties!! This Best of 2017 post is dedicated to the miscellaneous eye products that are boring but we can’t live without. 

I’m including concealer in this eye products post because I forgot to include it in my Best Face Products post that you can check out HERE if you missed it. All of the products in this post are ones that I was totally into in 2017. If I’ve done any dedicated reviews on the items listed, I’ll link them for you guys.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get into it!

Since I forgot about them before, I figured we’d talk about concealer first. The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is my OG holy grail drugstore concealer. It gives me the perfect amount of coverage without drying out my under eye or creasing too badly. As for high end concealer, my all-time favorite is the Urban Decay Naked Skin. I have two of these in my backup bag (aka an old makeup bag that I put all of my backups in) and for good reason. It’s just fantastic. It truly feels like you don’t have anything on under your eyes and it lasts really well on me without making my already dry under eye feel like sandpaper. The bareMinerals Correcting Concealer is one I discovered this year and fell in love with the first time I used it. It not only covers my under eye circles, it color corrects them and adds some hydration to my under eye.

For brows, it goes without saying that my favorite products this year were the Benefit Goof Proof and Gimme Brow pencils. I’ve tried out tons of brow products, but these are the ones I continuously go back to and frequently repurchase when I run out. Shade 6 is the perfect color for my dark brown, almost black brows. Unlike so many other brow pencils I’ve tried, these aren’t too waxy or too dry, and aren’t too warm for my brows. Best of all, they don’t make my already sparse brow hairs come out when I use them.

I liked so many eyeliners this year, but when I sat and thought about the ones that made the biggest impression on me, it came down to the Too Faced x Kandee Johnson I Want Kandee Black Licorice liquid liner and the Mally Beauty Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Liner. I’ve linked my reviews of each, so check them out for more info on them. I’m far from an expert at liquid liner, but the Too Faced x Kandee Johnson makes it super easy for me. The Mally Beauty pencil liners are favorites not only because of their creaminess, but because of their lasting power. They literally stay on all day long without too much moving around, unless you have itchy eyes like I do and rub your eyes often.

Mascara was a no brainer for me. My favorites this year, without question, were the Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and the Lancome Monsieur Big. Both give me the volume and length I look for in a mascara without a bunch of clumping and/or flaking. They’re totally on opposite sides of the price spectrum, but are equal in quality. If you don’t try anything in this post, I definitely recommend you try one of these mascaras out.

Those are my favorite eye-related products, y’all. Let me know in the comments below what yours were this year. My next Best of 2017 post is going to be eyeshadow palettes, followed by lip products, so stay tuned to my Instagram @theregulargirlreviews and my Twitter @theregulargirl1 to see when those go live.

Until next time, Beauties!! xoxo

My Favorite Things of 2017: Concealer, Liners, Mascaras & Brow Products Welcome back, Beauties!! This Best of 2017 post is dedicated to the miscellaneous eye products that are boring but we can't live without.

My current favourite brow products.

RIMMEL | BROW THIS WAY | 002: I only really use the powder as I don’t really get the wax. This comes with two awesome wee brushes a spoolie and an angle tip brush.

COLLECTION | DEFINE&PERFECT EYEBROW POWDER | 2: This one is amazing if you like powder, and I do. It’s very quick. It has unusual felt tip applicator and there are some magnetic beads or something that makes the tip charged and the powder stick to it…I figure. I am impressed multiple ways.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS | BROW WIZ | SOFT BROWN: I know you could probably get a dupe for this for much cheaper. But I saw an Anastasia counter at the duty free in Amsterdam and I just had to get it. I think it was about £20 but I’ve not regret it either. You can easily use this for a natural look or a stronger one.

NYX | SCULPT&HIGHLIGHT |CREAM/BRUNETTE: This is a creamy crayon sort of thing. It’s ok. I got this as I used to have a similar pen from Eylure with a spoolie on the other end which was great but then I think they stopped making it as I could not find it anywhere. Recently I saw they have come up with new product with a brow gel in the other end and I think that might be the same. I need to get it. It’s just that whilst I’ve been missing it I’ve accumulated quite a collection of other products… And that’s how much I like the NYX brow pencil, ha.

FREEDOM | EYEBROW POMADE | SOFT BROWN: I have to say I never thought I was a brow pomade girl but then I saw COCOCHIC in youtube saying this is similar to the Anastasia pomade and comes with a £5 price tag instead. I actually really like this one when I wanna make a stronger look.
