Gimmie brow packaging sucks

[onyxember]

Does anyone experience their gimmie brow gathering a lot of product on the back of the spoolie? I always seem to get a ring on the back of the applicator and in the container, there is a lot of chunky product that keeps getting there and making a mess. I love the product, but the packaging is so annoying. Has anyone experienced this with products containing similar packaging like the Kush brow gel or glossier boy brow?

I noticed that is how the samples in my local Sephora store looked so I passed on buying the gel. I purchased the pencil instead and it's worked great for me. Doesn't smudge but gives a really nice filled-in look to my brows and the colour matches me great. I think it's this one?

The package suction on the Charlotte Tilbury one is fantastic, perfect amount of product comes out and no ring of product. I recall from one of her videos that the suction of the package was patented or something.

I own gimme brow, milk, lancome, glossier and I have to remove some product from all of them. Glossier is comparable to benefit. I don't think there's a ring on the milk one, but a lot of product comes out and I always have to clean up the spoolie to remove it.

Thanks, I’ll have to try that one out. It’s also cheaper than gimmie brow, so that’s awesome!

@onyxember My pleasure! The Milk one is great - I see that it's the one you purchased. The Charlotte Tilbury one and the Milk are my favorite tinted gels that add color and texture to the brows.

The packaging on the CT is better (wand too), but both are great products IMO 🙂

I’ve repurchased this product so many times and have never had this issue. My current one is about 2-3 years old (almost out) and it still doesn’t show signs of product clumping on the top portion of the wand. I would suggest trying a different brow product like 

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS - DIPBROW® Gelif it’s becoming that much of a nuisance.

I am attaching a picture of my old Gimme Brow for reference.

Thank you. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one with that problem! I did end up getting a new brow gel, but I bought the milk makeup kush gel because I liked it better.

@onyxember  I hope the MILK doesn’t do the same thing on you. Let me know how you like it in comparison to the Benefit!

I have the exact same problem with that product, and I am not likely to buy it again as a result.  I feel like it's all clumped up at the back with nothing on the front, and agree, it's just a mess trying to apply it.

[onyxember]

Yeah, I just ended up buying the milk makeup kush brow gel because it’s pretty much the exact same product but way cheaper and a lot thinner so it doesn’t clump up or get clogged.
