The raves and reviews are true; she's good good.

I take pride in my eyebrows. With having good eyebrows comes with staying in the trends for me. Some work, some don't. Here's things that work for me
If I need to do my eyebrows fast or on the go, I grab this
NYX Professional Makeup Brow Glue Eyebrow Gel - Clear - 0.17oz
Brow lift gel - I use this one regularly
e.l.f. Brow Lift Gel - Clear - 0.31oz
I love this because it's all in one; I will throw the gel on my brows and spoolie them through, and wait for 10+ minutes before laminating them down such.
e.l.f. Brow Laminating Gel - 0.27oz
I do use this almost daily as well. I feel like sometimes my eyebrows look off colored or gray from the gel, so I add color back into it. If you do it sideways, it mimics those hair like strokes nicely. If you mess up like I do everyday and end up wi...
NYX Professional Makeup Thick It Stick It Brow Gel Mascara - Espresso - 0.23 fl oz

Lips
I've been using lip plumper almost daily for about 7 ish years up until I decided to gloss it up. I tend to switch make and forth. I personally have quite large lips as I'm half black, but I still love the weird tingly sensation it gives me. Enjoy my...
I wish I could tell you this $24 lip gloss was overhyped and not worth the money, but it really is. It keeps my lips fully hydrated, lasts forever, you don't need a lot, the smells are all amazing, and it's superior quality on your lips.
Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine
This $19 gloss is the literal s***. These two brands have knocked it out of the park, and made my lips feel like a baby's butt 24/7
Lip Glowy Balm
I have the mango one, and I love it so much. These three lip products are so good my boyfriend takes them and uses them.

These Milani lip plumpers are probably my favorites along with another one from them I'll post, too. I have every color
Milani Keep It Full Lip Plumper Luminosa Pink 04 - 0.13 fl oz
You need to work yourself up to this burn. It burns real good
Lip Injection Maximum Plump Extra Strength Hydrating Lip Plumper
Same as the last one by this brand, you need to work yourself up this level of burn

I really like the one that I have, but I wish I had other colors as well. I love the new shimmer ones!
maracuja juicy plumping lip oil
Trial & Error
The travel sizes are cheaper and smaller. This can be for travel purposes and not wanting to bring your full size products, or maybe you just want to try it first before committing to a product. Here's some travel sizes and value buys of products I l...
