Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Pencil 2

I received this product for free from influenster Benefit Cosmetics for my honest review! This is now my #HolyGrailMakeup #Voxbox I recommend anyone that wants a long lasting eyebrow pencil to buy this! It may be a product that's on the higher priced end but it's worth every cent. You can make hairline strokes as long as you have a good pencil sharpener. (Buy one for best results) my brows looked fuller and more sleek. so many colors to choose from but this matched perfectly!

⭐️ First Opinions ⭐️ - Now, as someone who already has naturally thick eyebrows that look filled in already, I was doubtful if this would look as natural as it claimed. Many eyebrow pencils I’ve used in the past usually make my eyebrows look unnatural and way too bold, which I’m not a fan of, so I usually skip the eyebrow pencil. - The packaging was very bold and gave off a sort of excited vibe. I really liked it, as it was also small and had no unnecessary padding like I see in other eyebrow pencil boxes. - I was gifted the shade ‘Cool Grey’. When I got the eyebrow pencil, I was instantly disappointed that there wasn’t a sharpener given and it was a pencil that needed to be sharpened once used. Compared to another one of my favorite eyebrow pencils, this one is ... More⭐️ First Opinions ⭐️ - Now, as someone who already has naturally thick eyebrows that look filled in already, I was doubtful if this would look as natural as it claimed.

I really liked it, as it was also small and had no unnecessary padding like I see in other eyebrow pencil boxes. - I was gifted the shade ‘Cool Grey’. When I got the eyebrow pencil, I was instantly disappointed that there wasn’t a sharpener given and it was a pencil that needed to be sharpened once used. Compared to another one of my favorite eyebrow pencils, this one is $25. My favorite one is only $7.25 and has a twistable packaging that eliminates the need for sharpening. ⭐️ Application ⭐️ - It was super inconvenient without a sharpener! I took off the top to the pencil and put it back on, not realizing that it doesn’t have a stopper like the spoolie side does, which is what I uncapped and capped first. It ended up breaking off the tip of the eyebrow pencil and I had to find an eyebrow pencil sharpener. I wish that benefit would have used twist packaging instead of the pencil packaging. It had some plastic on the inside which got caught on my sharpener as well. - Application was much easier. There is a lot of pigment so I only need to do a few strokes, but the formula is very natural looking and it just looks like my brows are fully filled in. I enjoyed using the spoolie to blend it in, and the color is such a great match with my natural eyebrows. - Although the packaging claims this is transfer-proof, I used a tissue and pressed it against my eyebrow, as well as my finger to test it. Unfortunately, it is not transfer proof and I did get the eyebrow powder on both the tissue and my finger. ⭐️Final Thoughts⭐️ - Honestly, this could be a really well executed and nice product worth the astounding $25 if they changed some things. I would suggest on changing the packaging a bit and possibly the formula. - Would I buy it if I ran out? Definitely not. Again, it’s the price that makes me avoid it. With another one of my eyebrow products having about the same effect on my eyebrows, and being more than half the price of this, I would rather buy a cheaper product. TDLR (too long, didn’t read): Gimme Brow + Volumizing Pencil has a lot of improvements it could make, from the packaging to the formula. It is not transfer proof like it claims, the pencil could be better in a twist packaging, and it is too expensive. However, the formula is very natural and looks great on the face.

Amazing for naturally filled/ fluffy look!!!

Perfection!!! Holds up extremely well all day against oil. I have an oily T zone and course thick brow hairs with some sparse areas. I find that micro precision pencils don’t ‘stick’ to my skin and they end up going on with like zero pigment and loss of shape/ fading by the end of the day. This pencil has an awesome pigmentation to application pressure ratio that is awesome for lightly filling in sparse areas without overdoing it on pigmentation. Especially if your brow hairs are already very dark like mine! Also I am completely useless at drawing on hairlike strokes, and it always took way too long for me to do my brows this way, so I love this pencil because it gives me the shape i want VERY easily without having to do multiple small strokes while still looking ... MorePerfection!!!

Because of this I think it’ll make the pencil last a lot longer due to having to use less product. And if you wanted to do fine hairlike strokes you can always sharpen the pencil to a thin tip! I also top it off with a tinted brow gel to hold the hairs in place. Can’t recommended this product enough!

Ehhh it's OK - Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Fiber Eyebrow Pencil

I received this product for FREE from @Influenster & @benefitcosmetics in exchange for my honest review😊I am always excited to try new brow products and this pencil intrigued me because it has fibers AND powder. It claims to adhere to skin (not just hair) and to give the look of volumized, full, and defined brows. I was really excited about that because I have sparce brows. But I was underwhelmed with this product😞 To me it was like any ol' liner. Nothing special at all! I watched tutorials on how to apply...I followed all the steps! So it actually kinda made me mad. I hate when products get you all excited and then let you down!😏The color did match: I received the shade 4.5 - Neutral Deep Brown and as a Brunette it was good🤎 It wasn't that easy to apply ... MoreI received this product for FREE from @Influenster & @benefitcosmetics in exchange for my honest review😊I am always excited to try new brow products and this pencil intrigued me because it has fibers AND powder.

It blended better when I added it on top of another product. And it did help to use the spoolie. The spoolie is my favorite part of the pencil. And that says A LOT🙄 I did NOT feel like my brows appeared fuller and/or it didn't give me the depth/dimension that I desired or that the product claimed. If I'm looking to buy a regular eyeliner and/or brow pencil I could certainly find a good one for a lot less than $25. Thankfully I received this product for FREE.#complimentary #benefitcosmetics #gimmebrow #influenster #voxbox #review #benefit #cosmetics #makeup #volumizingpencil #fibereyebrowpencil #eyebrows #brows @benefitcosmetics @influenster

Gimme Brow + Volumizing Pencil

First lets get the disclaimer out of the way:I recieved this product for free from Influenster and Benefit in exchange for my honest review. Ok on to the review!This pencil touts that it will help give fuller brows that could possibly last 12hours, be transfer proof as well as waterproof and give a natural-looking texture. Hmm big claims Benefit let see if it held up to it.I received the 2.5 Neutral Blonde shade. While my brow hairs lean more to medium to dark brown shade I found that this pencil shade blended nicely thou abit lighter then my actual brows. As far as texture it did seem to fluff up abit after application as claimed. It says it is a 'powder pencil that adheres to skin and hair to create volume and fill/define', and I'd say that's what it did. ... MoreFirst lets get the disclaimer out of the way:I recieved this product for free from Influenster and Benefit in exchange for my honest review.

As far as texture it did seem to fluff up abit after application as claimed. It says it is a 'powder pencil that adheres to skin and hair to create volume and fill/define', and I'd say that's what it did. Instead of just coloring in the brows like most pencils it did seem to fluff them as thou it were a powder and give the brows more dimension instead of just color.For the most part they did last most of the day. Thou on really hot days or when my face was getting more oily then most I found the product did transfer if rubbed on another surface.As far as waterproof I didn't go swimming with it on but I did play out in the sprinklers and my face got wet. Again for the most part they held there shape/definition but weren't perfect by the end of the waterfight.Easy to sharpen and the spoolie at the end helps blend the product nicely. Overall I did enjoy this pencil. As far as ingredients this is by no means a clean or green product as it has a slew of hard to pronoune ingredients that aren't awesome including phenylpropanol, bismuth oxychloride and titanium dioxide to name a few.

Great Brow Powder Pencil

Thankfully Benefit and Influenster sent me Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Pencil complimentary for testing purposes, right as I was on the hunt for a new brow product! I have tried so many products from so many brands, ranging from pencils, powders, wax markers, gels, etc. Many products end up not looking natural, even when using very lightly. I have found that Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Pencil looks great and doesn't irritate. I am a contact wearer with sensitive skin, so I am hesitant of brow products with fibers because they tend to flake, transfer, and upset my skin, but I have not had any issues with the Gimme Brow+ Pencil. I received a shade that matches my brows perfectly. I was happy to learn they have twelve shades in total because that is half the battle ... MoreThankfully Benefit and Influenster sent me Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow+ Pencil complimentary for testing purposes, right as I was on the hunt for a new brow product!

I received a shade that matches my brows perfectly. I was happy to learn they have twelve shades in total because that is half the battle with brow products - finding the right shade! The pencil glides so well. It is applied like any other pencil and feels a bit creamy or light because of the powder formulation. I don't notice the fibers when applying, the pencil seems completely solid, it is only when I see the fullness in my brows that I can tell that there are fibers in the formula. I have not noticed any transfer or smudging. It is long lasting and seems to be decently waterproof. I have worn it during the summer heat, when most of my makeup wants to melt off. There is a spoolie included on the opposite end of the pencil which is helpful. The product is very buildable and using the spoolie at the end really helps the volumized look. The downside to this pencil is it does not have a built-in sharpener and is not non-sharpening. You have to buy a sharpener separately to use this product continually. For the price, I wish the product did not need a separate sharpener. Aside from the lack of sharper, this is a great brow powder pencil for anyone looking for better matching shades and natural looking fullness.

Holy Grail

I received this item as a free sample from Influenster for an honest review. Wow! I was kind of hesitant using a regular eyebrow pencil as opposed to what I’ve been using for years; Anastasia Brow Wiz retractable eyebrow pencil and I was very impressed. I absolutely loved this smooth formula which made it oh so easy to blend with the dual ended spoolie. Once applied the formula turned to a powdery finish, which is perfect for my oily skin. The fibers in the pencil adhered to my eyebrow hairs which definitely made a big difference in the volume of my natural brow. They looked fuller, sparse areas were filled and there was no patchy residue left which sometimes happens with certain formulas. The color was a little lighter then my normal brow but the contrast blended ... MoreI received this item as a free sample from Influenster for an honest review. Wow!

I feel like I used less product then I normally would so I’d estimate that this pencil would last about 2 months with regular use. The only thing I don’t like is the fact that you have to sharpen the pencil to keep the point thin for brush like strokes. Otherwise, this is the perfect eyebrow pencil, will definitely be buying in the future and recommend to all that need this.

Perfect For Powder Brow

This is an excellent product for someone who likes the "powder brow" look. The tip is too large to make hair strokes, this is more for filling in the brows. If you want to darken your already existing brow shape this will work well for you. This product looks less natural when applied directly on skin, so it isn't ideal for creating a new brow shape or extending your current shape. The attached brush works well to soften the look, and gives a more natural result. I agree my brows look fuller and fluffier using this, not just darkened. I used this 5 times and can barely tell I have used any, so it will definitely last a long time.I recommend setting this with a clear brow gel. If not set, it will transfer and smear when touched.

Immediately after applying I pressed my finger on top of my brow, and some of the product was on my finger. I tried this while exercising as well as mowing in 100 degree heat. It didn't run or smear unless I touched my brows. I have oily skin so maybe that is the issue, but in my opinion this definitely requires some sort of product to set it.I have used Benefit brow products in the past and always used shade 5. I received this in 4.5 and it is quite dark, almost too dark. I would say this product runs darker than their other brow products, so you might consider going a half shade or a shade lighter.My personal preference is not the powder brow look, so this is not an ideal product for me. However, this is a very quick and easy to use product that I will work into my routine on days when I am short on time. This pencil is ideal for those who want a no fuss brow look.
