75% OF CHICKS DIG IT
This product isn't really anything special, I don't find it does much and I never reach for it.
1.How did the product perform based on its advertised benefits and/or intended use?
The Gosh Defining Brow Gel was pretty good and did what it claimed, however, having tried a few brow gels in the past, I definitely have some feedback for improvement.
2.How did the product perform compared to similar products from other brands that you have used in the past?
The Gosh Defining Brow Gel colour was awesome! The shade that I tried was great for brown/dark brown or black hair. I liked that the mascara wand applicator made it easy and efficient to use. What I would've loved was if the formula was less fluid and more on the thick side so that the colour could really grab onto my brow hairs. The formula was amazing for someone who already has a lot of brow hairs (like myself) and requires a bit of refining and filling in. For someone (say my mom's age) who has less brow hair, this formula is too watery to be able to grasp each brow hair strand.
I would've also loved if the wand was smaller so that the product wouldn't get on the face. I found that when I applied the product in a rush, the wand left product above my eyebrow and on my face, which required extra time to cleanup the smudge. If there was a smaller wand, I feel like the product would apply more precisely.
3.Would you purchase this product again?
I would purchase it only if it was on sale and combine it with my Benefit "High Brow" for a nice gradient ombre brow effect. This combo has been working awesome for me and my brows are KILLER with both products.
4.Would you recommend this product to a friend?
Yes, if they are on a budget.
It was a fine product, but I really have no use for it. When I'm purchasing cosmetics I'll purchase product that I'll use but this one seems a waste. I'm diligent about getting my eyebrows waxed, and will occasionally fill them in, but I don't need the defining gel. I have a really good esthetician who shapes my brows and they stay neat all the time, so this is a product I don't need.
This was not for me. I have black hair and black eyebrows and although I always use brown pencil/powder/gel to fill them in, this shade of brown was clearly not created for the dark-skinned. Way too warm and way too light. It held okay as a gel but the colour was too obvious and unnatural for my colouring.
I received this product as part of the ChickAdvisors review club
This was my least favorite product. I think the pencil would have been better for my needs. The Gosh defining brow gel works to help control your brows. This product tames unruly brows without leaving them stiff, flaky or sticky. The gel can be worn alone or layered. It is perfume free. I find that it reminds me of a mascara brush but the product is a little watery/runny.
Over-all it's a good product for those who can use it. I love GOSH products and will continue to promote them.
To be fair I was expecting to receive an eye brow pencil not a brow gel. For someone who has very full dark eyebrows the idea of a brow gel just wasn't something I wanted to use. I did try it for the sake of this review and was not crazy about the results. It took a lot of experimenting with the product to make sure I didn't have too much product on my brows. Even once I managed to reduce the amount of product on my brows it wasn't the look I was going for. I could see if you had very light brows or brows that have faded spots this would be helpful. Also if you brows just don't hold in place this could be beneficial. Given that I don't have any of these issues it is hard to judge the product fairly.
I'm more of a pencil or powder kind of gal for filling in my brows, so definitely was interested in trying a brow gel.
First, i just want to say that my hair and brows are naturally dark dark brown, so I was a bit disappointed that the "brown shade" was much much lighter than I could use.
However, I still gave it a go. Oddly enough, the application allows for a very subtle enhancement.. my brows seemed fuller but they didn't look "fake" (i.e. you cant really tell that i lightened them). Odd yes, but I would complain.
Where I see the shortfalls...
The applicator want is horrible - it's like a mascara wand which is too big for my brows... a better wand would've been more ideal.
The colour seemed to not have lasted all day... several hours perhaps.
I wouldn't recommend this for a weekend night out... if you want more emphasis and angled definition, this isn't the product... more for every day usage.
Oher than that, I don't think I will buy this product again, I will stay with my current (Anastasia products) but it was a good effort on Gosh's part to win me over... just not the product for me.
This isn't a product that I would normally purchase so I wasnt sure about trying it. I got this product as part of a free trial. I fount it difficult to apply, the brush almost seemed too big. The colour wasn't bad and once you got it on it looked great. My brows are naturally dark so I don't normally apply anything to them as they stand ouot well on their own. The product was nice, just not something I would normally purchase out of necessity.
As someone with sparse eyebrows, this wasn't much benefit to me, I still needed to define my brows first and I hoped this would act as a sealer, but I find my eyebrows "disappear" faster with this on. It was a great brush, nice colour, but unless you really need to groom your unruly eyebrow hairs into place, this wasn't worth it for me.
I personally do not like this product. When I first tried it, it clumped and goo'd on my eye brows and made them look fake. Not a good look, or a look I try to pull off. Definitely will not buy.
