Cheaper alternative to Benefit Gimme Brow?

Just that really, great product but about £17 a pop and could do with something cheaper as I use it every day.

MUA'S brow kit is amazing at about 3 pound. Smile

Aaah - I was on the search myself because my lovely daughter has swiped and LOST my Gimme Brow.

Sleek have a similar product , but when I looked at the colour, even the dark brown probably wouldn't be dark enough. (Don't know if they do a Black/Brown)

In Boots I saw a brow make-up (it was near the counter so I didn't get a good look) with fibres to enhance, choice of colour. In a gold coloured packaging £19.99
I cannot find it on the Boots website but I'll have a closer look next time I'm in there.

I found Gimme Brow quite difficult to get right though,( I maybe need practice, if I ever find it again)

I get along with the Sleek Brow Kit as mentioned by 70isalimitnotatarget.
It has lasted me absolutely ages aswell - it's got to have been at least 6 months and I'm just scraping it now. I only really use the gel side and not the powder. I believe you get a small pair of tweezers in it which I lost ages ago, but I don't remember them being any good anyway!

Gimme Brow is like a mascara with a teeny wand and spiral brush (and it;s a tiny bottle), I got it as a special offer, no way would I spend £17 on it.

The powder/gel does sound like it'll last longer ( Benefits Brow-zing is a wax/powder but it's £25, there are definately cheaper ones out there)

Maybelline Brow Drama? The brush is quite different in that the usable part is ball shaped but I prefer it. Might not be suitable for those with thin brows though as the ball brush is quite a bit larger than the gimme brow brush. Available in 4 shades, approx £5 for 12ml.

Thanks all, might give the Maybelline one a go although the good thing about gimme brow is it has little fibres in it which really thickens my brows, Maybelline don't seem to say that about theirs, more it's just a colour.

Try L'oreal brow artist plumper. It is a brow gel mascara with fibres. I really like it.

I use Gimme Brow now, but I've bought the Maybelline Brow Drama in the past.
It works on a similar principle to GB but it's nothing like as good. I only used it a couple of times before going back to just an eyebrow pencil (I have very fair brows so like to define them) MBD does color the brow in, but nowhere near as well as the Benefit.
Gimme Brow is the one I like best out of all the (many) different sorts of brow products I've used before.
It is expensive though, I always get it when there's a 20% discount somewhere.

Forgot to say Holly, no the Maybelline doesn't have those fibres in.
