I never, for once, thought "Oh, they probably use a brow pencil" because honestly when I think "brow pencil" I think of tacky people (IMO) with a line for brows. You can understand why I'd want no parts of that can't you?
::cringes::
Anyway, I was cruising through my favorite blogs and Krystal of The Feisty House had just posted about her daily make-up essentials and routine. She mentioned using the Wet n Wild brow pencil. Krystal assured her readers that despite it's low price point, this pencil did the trick perfectly.
Welp... that was my take home point! I decided I would add it to my daily make-up routine also.
A quick trip to CVS and exquisite brows were born

I felt so complete and finished. Like I had the magical qualities the other ladies I've envied admired possessed.
Here are all my daily make-up essentials plus my new bestie: the brow pencil!
Tweezers to perfect my brows, toothbrush to brush them, brow pencil to make them magical.
Ambi facial moisturizer with SPF 15 (only 5 BUCKS!)
Nars "Taj" Blush
Nars "Laguna" Illuminator
I heart Sonya Kashuk make-up brushes (available at Target)
Random RIMMEL mascara
I won't ever have an emergency again that drives me to purchase their mascara. I go back and forth between lux mascara and OTC mascara. My favorite lux mascara is MAC "Opulash" and when I'm doing OTC I usually go with Maybelline (which ever one interests me at the time).
Fun make-up fact about me:
If I was banished to a desolate island and could only take one beauty/make-up item I would take mascara. I do not leave the house without it. I used to be torn between mascara or lip balm but then I realized there are plenty of natural moisturizers so I'm totally packing my mascara!
What is your make-up routine? Do you have a "can't leave home without it" product?
I am the same way about mascara Wren! Even on those fresh face days, I need my mascara! Another tip for eyebrows is to thread instead of wax, and also use an eyebrow compact kit. I find those to be more natural looking than some pencils. So picking up that Nars Illuminator!

YES! NARS Illuminator is life! :/ I tweeze only because waxing and threading irritate my skin. I have to work on getting them more symmetrical, though. I will look out for a eyebrow compact kit, I had one and it was too heavy for me at the time. Thanks for reading and sharing! <3
DeleteI saw a commercial for a new Maybelline mascara that has two brushes, one for the top lashes and a smaller one for the bottom lashes. I want to try that out because I just got into putting mascara on the bottom lashes, but I always end up smudging and it looks extra black. Hated it! But yes, mascara and eyeliner are staples! I don't usually carry anything other than lipstick/lip gloss with me, but perhaps I'll start carrying around my mascara for those "just in case" days.
ReplyDeleteah! That is clutch the smaller bottom lash brush! I don't carry my mascara with me unless I am rushing and I put it on when I get to my destination. I meant I don't leave the house without it on my face under about 99% of all circumstances.
DeleteI can not live without blush. Something about those rosy pink cheeks that just brightens up the rest of my face.
ReplyDeleteI love mascara but sometimes will end up with residue under my eyes...I think it has something to do with the concealer i use to cover up the dark circles under my eyes. How can I combat that?
good question! no clue... is the mascara waterproof? are you putting it on too heavy on the bottom lash?
DeleteYaaa bronzer/blush would be my next must-have make-up product! A little glow goes a long way! <3
