Everyone, please meet my eyebrows' best friend... ABH Dip Brow.
I just want to make one thing perfectly clear, my OG favourite eyebrow tool used to be the twisty pencil... but that sh!t disappears in a month (zero exaggeration) and who has the time and money to constantly repurchase that shit?
Why I love ABH Dip Brow:
- Product stays in place all day.
- The pot lasts a year, with daily usage! A little goes a long way. I don't know the shelf life, but I will use it until it's done or dried out.
- You can create any brow: dramatic or subtle
-I use it as an eye liner on occasion, does the trick!
-Reasonable price. It hovers just above 20$ and the fact that it lasts a year, is a steal. I used to buy 30$ mac pencils that lasted me a month, so this is far superior #brokeb!tch
Some cons:
- if you leave the package open it will dry out, you will have to youtube a way to fix that.
-while doing your eye brows you should close the lid in order to prevent the product from drying out
-takes a bit of practice (so does winged eye liner but I am sure you mastered that too, so don't be skeptical!)
What you will need to apply dip brow:
- ABH Dip Brow (duh)
- a fine angle brush. You do not need a fancy fvcker, a cheap guy works just as fine. Go to Wally (Walmart), CVS, Michael's Craft store (you'd be surprised) anywhere that you can get your hands on a cheapo brush.
- a spoolie (if you don't know what this is google it)--- SPOOLIE IS NECESSARY!
-paper towel
APPLICATION PROCESS:
*If you are new to dip brow, please do yourself a favour and youtube some videos or ask the Sephora homies to show you. Mind you if you are asking a Sephora homie, judge them based on their eye brow. If they have good eyebrows and not some permanent markered sh!t, they should be okay to give you some decent advice.
Tips for application:
-Take your angle brush, lightly dip it into the dip brow pomade. Drag some of the excess off onto the inside edges of the container (we ain't trying to waste product here, hello!)
-Grab your paper towel. Using the paper towel, pinch the angle brush and pull the angle brush out.This will pinch the bristles of the brush together making a finer line---- remover folks we are making hair strokes and not doing a paint by numbers.
-Lightly drag the edge of your angle brush on the paper towel. This will remove some of the product, if you don't do this your first stroke will be a harsh line and look fvcking terrible.
-Grab that good ol' spoolie and brush your hairs up and away.
-Back to the angle brush: I like to start by making a line at the bottom of my eye brows, following my natural shape, to give me a frame to follow when filling in the strokes. Start filling in the patchy spots, brushing with your angle brush--- THE GOAL IS TO MAKE HAIR LIKE STROKES!
-Now time for the top of your brow, spoolie the hairs down, you will immediately see some sparse spaces that you couldn't see before. You are going to want to do some downward strokes for this. When I say downward, I mean try and follow your damn hair growth; don't literally do vertical strokes or you will look stupid.
-Brush your eyebrows up using spoolie.
- The spots eyebrow section closest two your nose: this should not be just coloured in. You should try and make hair like strokes that follow your natural brow growth to give a more natural effect. If you just fill it in, you will have permanent marker brows and look ridiculous.
- Repeat for other eyebrow.
-Set eye brows with a clear brow gel or clear mascara gel. I use some cheapo one that cost me three dollars from Wally. It doesn't have to be fancy, just has to hold the hairs up in place.
Hope this helps!

What I love:
-softens skin
-it absorbs quickly leaving a dewy finish and feel
-reduces blemishes and balances uneven skin tone
-AMAZING under makeup, helloooooo dewy skin!!
Use:
-daily moisturizer or as a serum under moisturizer
-skin primer under foundation for a dewy finish
-100% use as part of night time skin routine
The not so good:
-if you use too much product, you may find that the it leaves a bit of a yellow/orange hue---- it goes away, just an FYI
-the cost is a little high for my poor student budget, but reasonable in comparison to the crazy serums and oils you'll find at sephora. **BENEFITS ARE WORTH THE COST**

BUY THIS LIPPIE IMMEDIATELY!
No joke. I buy Lovecraft for every single one of my girlfriends as part of a gift, even the ones that don't wear makeup.
I originally went in to Sephora to try the liquid lipstick in the cult fave colour Lolita, but that did not work out in my favour. I have shaky hands and the applicator stick is far too long, so naturally I fvcked up and got that sh!t everywhere. Of course the formula is a no budge formula, so my heinous mistakes were not going away. Sorry Kat Von D, liquid lippie NO BUENO.
I then decided to play around with the Studded Kiss bullet lippie collection. LOVE AT FIRST SWIPE <3
WHAT I LOVE:
- Formula: has a velvet feel on your lips paired with a matte finish.
- Stays put!--- This sh!t stays in place!! Eat that burger. Chug that vodka soda. Live free knowing your lippie is looking fresh! **Mind you, if you suck face with someone, it'll probably come off; but let's be reasonable here, this is the real world and not fvcking Hogwarts.
-Does not crumble or flake off!- This is huge for me, I hate when matte lipstick crumbles/flakes off. Like where do you think you are going? Did I authorize your departure?? ---Thankfully, you will not be worrying about that problem with this lippie.
-***THE COLOUR***
Alright, listen up bitchachos, this is important: This. Colour. Is. MAGICAL!!! It is a perfect day time lippie to give you that mauve sexiness, but not too in your face that has your coworkers saying "whoa, you really caked it on today Karen". It is also perfect for night time, when you are looking to give some life to those lips.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
- Open the Sephora app or visit the store and buy the damn lippie! If you hate it, which I honestly doubt you will.. return it! You know damn well that Sephora has an amazing return policy, take advantage of it.

I am 29 years old and have been using this product since high school. 15 YEARS!!
Buy this product.
What I love:
-it separates and lengthens your lashes
-doesn't crumble throughout the day
HOW TO MAKE THIS PRODUCT BETTER:
-Use a primer (white mascara) or L'Oreal Double Extend mascara first, and then use telescopic on top right after to separate and lengthen lashes. It gives a false lash appearance.
