MUA Luxe Power Brow in Mid Brown

Last year was the year of the bow, a trend that is still going strong and looks unlikely to be fading into makeup history anytime soon. Wether it be a tad defined, bold and beautiful or thick the brow is the perfect tool to finish the face off, tidy it up and polish up your appearance without having to do too much.

A not so new contender for being the ultimate brow tool is the MUA Luxe Powerbrow. A wind up eyebrow pencil with a highlight to lift the brow as well as add definition. I've been using the shade mid brown, and lets just say I won't be putting it down anytime soon. The pencil is soft, but not too soft, making natural looking strokes easy to achieve but with more pressure a defined brow is in within reach too. The highlighting aspect of the pencil is a bit hit and miss as it is very gold, but once blended properly it does give the illusion of a higher lift.

The packaging of the MUA Luxe line is just that.. luxurious (when compared to their other offerings). The gold lettering does rub off however the tube is sturdy enough.

As you can see it adds a lot of definition without breaking the bank. Please excuse the tired eyes, but I wanted to show the product on its own to show how good it really is in polishing the face up without any other makeup. Super awesome, am I right? And quick. Like 'I-have-2-minutes-to-get-ready-for-work' quick.

So.. why do I love it so much?

It's £3.00 here!

Thats cheaper than a Starbucks!

My Holy Grail Product #1 HD BROWS

Everybody has a selection of products that once they come into your life you feel you'd be lost without... this will be a series of posts of my 'Holy Grail' products.. some you may agree with, others you may not! However it may help you decide if they are worth trying out! So.. onto the review......

HD Browns Palette in 'Foxy'
I recieved this in the August Glossybox.. and I don't think there has been a day since that I haven't used it. At first I was using the darker brown colour but then I realised that it was too dark and I was sporting the scouse brown on a daily basis... fail.
Even with just a bit of mascara, sorting your brows out really does make a difference to the face I've found, and it is a more natural look than using eyebrow pencil.

Th shadows are highly pigmented (apart from the pale one which in my opinion is more useless than a jelly ruler) and apply neatly. They do not smudge easily (however be careful when taking jumpers/hoodies off as I did this and ended up with the biggest smear of eye make up.. looked like Harry Potter gone wrong) and do last all day. I would apply eyebrows after foundation but before shadow so you can neaten edges if need be.

Granted, you don't have to use this exact palette, an eyeshadow in your natural hair colour would suffice.. but with the inclusion of the brush that is not useless and the highlighter shadow.. I do think that now I would never look back! Plus it is way easier than having to hunt for an alternative.

Would any of you readers class a brow palette as a 'Holy Grail' product? Or do you think it is a waste of time?
