splurge vs bargain - eyebrow edition


Having beautiful,thick,dark eyebrows has been a trend in the recent years. Every girl wants their eyebrows on fleek, in fact many girls trying to get this look will spend tremendous amounts of money on products like eyebrow gel, eyebrow makers and pencils. the most recent and popular product that girls are using for their brows are Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow pomade which sells for 18,00$ on their website; http://www.anastasiabeverlyhills.com/brows.html Perhaps at retail stores like sephora and ulta this products sells for 23$ plus the cost of the brush to apply the product which is another 23$. So in total girls will be spending almost 50$ on two products which is pretty expensive. From experience Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow pomade is an amazing product and usually last for about 4-5 months depending how often I use it perhaps I cant always afford to spend that much money when I run out of it, that's why i was pretty excited when I found similar products to this one at a lower cost. 

the NYX tame and frame dip brow is in every way just as great as the Anastasia one, its well pigmented, also comes in 5 different shades to match the colour of your brows  as well from experience this product blends easily and lasts all day. To add NYX tame and frame dip brow is 100% water proof. The NYX product sells for 9$ which is more than half the price of the Anastasia one. With that being said I really recommend switching  to the cheaper version of the ABV dip brow.

  1. Great post O'Shawn! As someone who likes to wear makeup, I am always looking for good quality products that do not cost a lot of money. Eyebrows are definitely really popular today and knowing how to get the look everyone wants for a good price is awesome. I have seen Anastasia brow products in Youtube videos before and everyone seems to love them. I will definitely have to try the Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow pomade when I save up some money but for now, I will try the NYX tame and frame dip brow. I look forward to your next post! :)

  3. I've heard wonders about Anastasia brow products as well and I tend to jump to the conclusion that most people with great brows wear it. I didn't know Nyx sold a similar product! I've only gotten pencils myself but I've tried pomades and they work wonders. I'll probably have to check the Nyx out!

  5. Oshawn I really enjoyed your blog! Although I don't often use makeup,I do draw in my eyebrows every day. Lately I have been having a really hard time finding a product that works well for drawing in my eyebrows and is not too much money. I will definetely be going to purchase this and see how it works for me. Thank you so much for your advice!
