A few weeks ago, it was incredibly hot outside here in Wisconsin, but I had a birthday party to go to and decided to put some makeup on for the occasion! Here's what my choice was for that hundred-degree party day!

This was after a few hours' worth of being outside and if you ask me, I think it stayed pretty well!

Get Pretty Reviews: Benefit Brow Zings

These days, I don't wear makeup every day - or even every other day. I do have some definite go-to products, though - and one place in which that was lacking was my brows! I have used a menagerie of different things to fill my eyebrows in over the years, but was looking for that one product that would just blow me away... and I definitely found it.

Benefit is a great makeup company. I have fallen in love with every product I've ever used! Until now, that list included SheLaq, Lemon Aid, and High Beam. I haven't tried much more, but am definitely interested in a few products. This post isn't about what I want, though, it's what I already have!

Brow Zings are a product that include two things in the compact - a wax for taming unruly eyebrow hairs, and a powder for filling, as well as two tiny brushes. Before finding this compact, I was using a Clinique eyeshadow, and I can say that one use and I was hooked.

The wax holds hairs in place wonderfully, while adding a bit of a dark tint that is only added to when you utilize the powder. A two-step process that now, only takes me a few minutes. One thing I would change, though, is those tiny brushes. I used them a couple of times, but I abandoned them for my regular brow brush. Below is photographic evidence of my first time using the product - I loved it, even then!

For someone with arched (and patchy) eyebrows like mine, a great filler product is a necessity. They make the issues surrounding plucking and waxing for years basically disappear! Thankfully, I found a great product in Brow Zings, and am planning on consulting the Benefit rack at Ulta a bit more religiously at this point!

What are your favorite go-to brow products?
