I've done it as well. The only time it really doesn't stay for me is if I'm sweating a lot. Otherwise, it works just as well. Sometimes I'll set it with a brow gel vs. wax, but it works more or less the same.

@eshoe @SportyGirly125 @alexasteph Thanks. Will try this

[SportyGirly125]

@naturalooks15 Let us know how it works out for you. 

[SportyGirly125]

@naturalooks15 Yes me! I do this all the time.  I use MAC Brun as my brow powder.

I use it with ABH #7 brush and then use ABH Brow Wiz to sculp the brow out and fill in the tail portion.

[eshoe]

Ha, I used to use that same Mac as brow powder too, @SportyGirly125🙂

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe How funny.  What a coincidence. 

[alexasteph]

@naturalooks15 I’ve done it. Just set it with a clear gel like you would with brow powder. Treat it literally the exact same way, same brush and stuff too. 

[naturalooks15]

@alexasteph It doesn’t get wiped off in the middle of the day, right? I read somewhere that the wax content is higher in the brow powders but not sure of function of that 🤔 

[SportyGirly125]

@naturalooks15 I actually don't have a problem of it being wiped off at all as long as you set it with a clear brow gel.

[alexasteph]

@naturalooks15 Could be, but that’s not something I’ve heard. If you use a brow primer and a setting gel that should hold it in place. What other products are you using? 

[naturalooks15]

Currently I use the benefit brow pencil (similar to ABH brow whiz) and nothing else but tried the brow powder recently and I liked the look better. So I was thinking of using shadow primer and then a shadow on the brow to see if that works rather than buying another product.

Maybe I am not using the pencil right because I have seen pics with pencil and Their results look awesome.

[alexasteph]

@naturalooks15 Well also remember promotional photos are always gunna look perfect. I find powders do work better for a fuller brow look, and pencils are better for creating shape. Maybe try using the pencil first and filling in more with some darker eyeshadow? Then set with clear gel. That’s what I do (I use brow products but follow the same pattern) when I want a more dramatic brow.

Does anyone own the Skyn Iceland Oxygen Night cream? Got it in an add on in fabfitfun and the scent is overpowering! It’s awful it smells like paint thinner. Trying to find out if this is normal or if it’s gone off. I have their cloud cream and it’s so nice and light

[sarahshter]

I picked it up from FFF as well @Kim888 and I’m disappointed with the scent too. I can handle a little fragrance but the overpowering ones like this give me migraines. I had to rinse it off it was so bad.

[Kim888]

@sarahshter yeah I'm definitely glad I did not pay full price - I'm just calling it a loss and tossing it.

Have anyone tried out new Giorgio Armani Eye to Kill Quad? I’m intrigued 

[makeitup305]

For those of you that have ordered through Selfridges, what's their shipping like? Do you get hit with duties often?

[SportyGirly125]

@makeitup305 I just placed my order from them on Monday. The shipping was pretty expensive. My order is arriving today. I didn’t have to pay duties and taxes. Im in the US. 

[eshoe]

Was this an order for brushes, @SportyGirly125? i was interested in some items and then noticed at checkout the cost to ship was equal to my purchase 😆. I’m just enjoying being on the sidelines for now!

[SportyGirly125]

@eshoe No, it was actually for just 1 Guerlain lipgloss that I really loved and couldn't find anywhere else.

[eshoe]

Ahhh, thank you, @SportyGirly125!! Some of the Suqqu blushes caught my eye as well, but the shipping 😐
