Do you envy those with the dark, thick and sultry eyebrows? I do. I think a nice, well groomed brow really frames the face and can make for a more youthful appearance. I look at my younger self at 13 and wish I never over plucked and gave into the trimmer brow look trend. I had eyes like young Elizabeth Taylor and at that time thought they were unsightly. If Only I knew that in a few years (in my twenties) I would regret my over plucking and try for years to thicken my brows. I rarely pluck or shape my brows now that I am in my early thirties. I have a stray hair maybe once a month, but that is it. I do use oil to cleanse and moisturize my face and brows, and I am sure that may help some. I have been applying brow tints and filling in my brows for the last 2 years. I have never gotten the hang of using shadows or eye pencils and so currently had been using a mascara wand type filler / tint (Lashem). Last month, I had the opportunity to try a tint that is in a jar (in exchange for an honest review). It is not only a tint, but also more importantly, a treatment to help strengthen the hair follicle and nourish growth.
The product is called PERFECT BROWS Eyebrows Growth Balm. This can be used as a spa like mask (like perhaps while at home or sleeping (be careful with getting it on your pillow) or as a tint. I use it as a tint that nourishes, in the hopes that my brows will thicken. It is a medium brown color but seems to lean toward a warm toned brown when I use it. It is not as dark as I hoped.
I use the included brush to apply this balm to my brows, I then darken with my usual tint. I finish with a gentle brush through using a brow and lash comb.
This also is available in a non tinted version. I think this product is wonderful and the Grapefruit & Cocoa fragrance is a supreme delight. It reminds me of a spa treatment. I do find that since my eye brows and hair is darkest brown, almost an off black in some lighting, that this is definitely just a light tint. I would prefer the company to have a third version available for brows that are very dark. I like a thicker and darker brow. I do find that I need to pair this with my usual eyebrow tint (Lashem Color Strokes Brow Tint and Lift in Raven color).
The ingredients are Steller and I can believe that after an extended few months of use, this could potentially get me much closer to the eyebrows I want.
Ingredients: Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Mango Butter, Saw Palmetto Oil, Beeswax, Watermelon Seed Oil, Cucumber Seed Oil, Rose Hip Oil, Grapefruit Essential Oil, Armoise Essential Oil, Provitamin B5 (d-panthenol), Rose Geranium Essential Oil, Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol), Cypress Essential Oil, Turmeric Essential Oil, Allantoin, Clove Bud Essential Oil, Nutmeg Essential Oil, Black Pepper Essential Oil, Colloidal Oatmeal, Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil, Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate)
Size:One 0.6 oz/18ml jar of treatment should last for about 12-18 months. The price is reasonable for the amount of product (I do not need much at a time.) I do feel the color is a problem for me. If I could have this in an expresso brown black, then it would be replacing my Lashem. (It would be nice to use ONE product, instead of pairing the two.
You can find this multipurpose healing ointment on Amazon.
