Budget Brows

I’m a huge fan of my Benefit Browzings but I’m an even bigger fan of a bargain. On the days when I can’t be faffed with gel and powder  I usually slick some clear mascara through my brows in order to stop my brows looking like they are trying to escape. A bit of colour and definition doesn’t hurt either. These are the bargain beauty products that I’m currently using. 

MUA mascara in shade 1. I’m said this before about the MUA range but I’ll say it again, ONE FREAKING POUND! What can I say about it? It’s clear, doesn’t leave my brows feeling crispy or tacky and does a decent job of keeping them neat. Not as good as the Browzings but not bad at all. Mental note to stock up on these. I just don’t see the point in spending any more on a clear mascara that I’ll only ever use on my eye brows. 

Then we have the Sleek Brow Pencil in Brown. Again this falls neatly in the budget category  costing just £2.49. Oddly they only do two shades, Brown and Black. Brown is a pretty dark colour too so those with fair hair aren’t catered for which seems odd. Now Sleek claim that this is a ‘creamy formula’ that will resist smudging or flaking. I wouldn’t call it creamy. In fact I find the pencil quite hard. If it were an eyeliner it would be too hard however it isn’t and I like it. I’ve swatched it here heavily and more lightly.

The hardness means it’s easy to do light feathery strokes rather than depositing too much colour and leaving me with Jordan brows. 

DO NOT WANT. So there are my brow products for groomed (but not scary) brows for less than a fiver. What do you use on your brows? Let me know in the comments xxx
