Brow Archery Version 2.0

Hello! A while a go I bought Soap & Glory's Brow Archery which had a felt-tip like brush to fill in sparse gaps and a wind up pencil on the end (review here). I was in love with it and although I didn't use the felt tip end much I was absolutely in love with the pencil end. For me, the pen end wasn't necessary and what I really wanted was a little spoolie on the end to blend my brows after I've used the pencil and brush my hairs into place... Ah Soap & Glory, you got it spot on.



Soap & Glory have bought out version 2.0 of their Brow Archery that is better in almost every way. The spoolie is so helpful and I love that it can help blend your brows a bit to make them less harsh and help you brush your hairs into place. Also, as you can see from the picture, they have made the new wind up pencil much thinner than before, meaning that you can draw the hairs in more naturally than you could with the thicker one, although with the other one you could use the pen in to draw in hairs if you wanted. The colour is also not red-toned at all, which is the best thing I could ask for. However, I do think the other one was a better match as the colour was lighter and I find that the new version is much darker and that is it's only downfall. It needs a shade between the blonde one (Blondshell) and the brunette one which I have (Hot Chocolate) and then it would be my perfect brow product. For now though, it is close enough!

BROW ARCHERY

Hello! Remember when I said I was feeling simple brows? That is still true but when I'm dressing up a bit more I like to make sure they have a bit more shape and are less sparse. Nothing too over the top or anything, but I've found a new product which gets it done!

Soap & Glory's Brow Archery has been on my wishlist for a long time and I often don't get to pick it up as it's sold out - I even check in all the drawers underneath! But this time there was one left and I just went for it! I got the colour Brownie Points as I think Love is Blonde would just be too light for my brows but I do think they could do with working on a darker shade. Mine is perfect, but if you had darker brows I struggle to see how it would make a difference at all! I've heard so many good things about it and I really liked the idea of the routine that came along with using the product.


On one end, there is a thin brush which is lots of bristles packed together and formed into a thin point, which gives you ultimate precision. It is a lovely colour which I think really matches my brows well - not too dark or light, ashy or red-toned! This part allows you to fill in sparse areas and create a little bit of shape if you want or need to.


The second side is a waxy wind up pencil which also has colour in, allowing you to make your brows again have more shape and fill in sparse areas. Like the pen, it's a great match for my brows and it doesn't make them look drawn on - this product still makes them look natural, just way better.


I tend to use the pen end for just filling in and the pencil end to create shape in my brows but I'm so happy that I finally managed to get my hands on this. If you want to do something to your brows but don't want to go overboard then I really recommend this to you guys! Now I just need a good threading session - I'm so lazy with my brows at the moment!

Have you tried this? And did you love it as much as I do?

MAYBELLINE | BROW DRAMA

Hello! Lately, I've gone off filling in my brows too much. I'm all for strong brows but I'm one for quick and easy make up at the moment - I just can't be bothered to sit there and do the whole sha-bang. I discovered something quite a while a go that when I first saw I thought I would hate, but I bit the bullet and bought it and I am in love with it. It's the best thing for super quick brows!




Maybelline's Brow Drama is currently in a relationship with my eyebrows. I just slick this over each brow to hold them all in place and neaten them up but it also fills adds a bit of colour while filling in the areas of sparseness. It has a thin base to it, much like a normal brow gel or mascara wand but at the top there is an enlarged piece of the wand. I think that definitely allows you to be able to reach all areas of your brow without getting it on your skin, which is not what you want with a tinted brow gel. It's so quick and easy that I can't not reach for it everyday. If you're not a fan of filling in your brows everyday or prefer a natural look, this is the one for you!

Have you tried this? Or do you have any favourite brow products I should try?
