Benefit Brow Zings: Eyebrows Magic!

26 June 2011

Did you know that the shape of your eyebrows can change the way your face looks? They are that important, trust me!

I’ve never been a big fan of pencil defined eyebrows on myself, so for me, tweezing always did the trick to give a clean and classical frame to my eyes… or so I thought. A few days ago I went to a Benefit counter and the lady serving me introduced me to something that completely changed the way I felt about filing, shaping and defining my eyebrows.

The product is called Benefit Brow Zings and it’s a brow shaping kit that comes with a little angle brush and pigmented wax for shaping your eyebrows, a small blending brush and powder to set everything in place, and the cuttest pair of tweezers!

I was absolutely blown away with the result and was immediately convinced to get the Brow Zings kit. The final look is so natural and flattering, and it doesn’t make you look as if your little sister drew your eyebrows with a crayon.

The kit comes with a leaflet taking you through all the steps, so it’s pointless describing them here. Instead, I’ll share with you some handy tips that are not on the leaflet and will made a big difference.

Before starting you might want to use a little eyebrow comb to tidy your brows in case you have messy eyebrows like me. Remember to brush the hairs upwards otherwise you’ll end up with a shape that makes you look tired and sad; we don’t want that! :)

Try to follow the natural line of your eyebrows as much as possible rather than drawing a line where there are no hairs and filling it with powder; this will give you a more natural look.

If your eyebrows are not even, you can use the wax and the angle brush to make them look symmetrical or even slightly increase the arch in the middle, if you like arched eyebrows.

When you’re done with the wax and the powder, use the other side of the comb to brush off the excess and to make them look more natural and blended with your natural hairs. This was recommended by the makeup artist that did my eyebrows at the Benefit counter and I thought it made a crucial difference!

Check out the before and after:

I strongly recommend this product! If you’ve never filled your eyebrows, either because you think they look fine the way they are or because you think it looks fake and weird, trust me, this is exactly what you need. I think my eyebrows look ok naturally, but now they look amazing!

    They look fab – and so natural!

    I have non-existant/fair eyebrows but dark hair so may have to try this out! :)

    I totally agree with you! Eyebrows are so important. I never used to fill them in because I thought it was unnecessary, but I think they look flawless with just a bit of powder to accentuate areas that are a little sparse.

    @adoreabubbles I think it’s £22.50… not the cheapest, but honestly it will last forever! :)

    @Anita I agree! The powder gives it a delicate touch rather than a thick pencil line. :)

Did you guess it right? I got it totally wrong, again! 😆 We couldn’t be happier and it’s exactly what both James and Bella wanted. Our little tie-breaker! 🥰 #16weekspregnant #babynumber3 #genderreveal

It’s been a little while since my last update. Last week was tough, but this week I’ve started to see the light at the end of the Hyperemesis tunnel.

I’ve been able to keep most of my food down and I can now drink sips of water. Honestly that is such an amazing feeling!

I’m still being sick and still limited on what I can eat, but everyday I tolerate a few more smells and food.

My cravings are so weird! Full of things I’ve never bothered with before - Brazilian hot dogs, McDonalds Fillet O’ Fish, tinned peaches, tuna mayo jacket potato.

I’m still very weak and out of breath if I walk around - my body is playing catch up with the last 2/3 months of living on barely nothing.

I’m into my 14th week and I honestly feel so hopeful right now. ❤️

Ad: Today is International Women’s Day and this Ad: Today is International Women’s Day and this year #LEGO are celebrating the women of the future; our imaginative, creative, inspirational little girls!

We were asked to take part in the campaign, replicating a classic LEGO ad from 1981, which shows a little girl proudly holding up her LEGO creation.

So when I asked Bella what she wanted to make, no surprises there, she chose a princess castle!    

I feel like this reflects her personality so much; she’s sweet and kind, but also really knows her mind and is super determined to do what she wants, how she wants it! 💗 Didn’t she do well?!

If you want to take part and recreate the ad with your amazing daughters, you can submit a photo at LEGO.com/FutureBuilders.

I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so I’ve stopped losing weight! 🙏🏻 It feels so good to step on the scales and not see those numbers going down anymore! I worried every single day for weeks, especially when my weight loss was so quick. So today, I put shorts on for the first time in a month (took it off right after the photo, as I feel so uncomfortable with anything around my hips or waist), pushed my belly out and registered that milestone. Hyperemesis is not in my past yet, but my new meds are at least helping me keep some food down. That’s a lot of progress from a week ago! ❤️

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️
