Alternatives to benefit gimme brow, Im allergic and should I take it back?

Ive finally found soemthing that gives me half decent eyebrows as mine have hardly ever grown from birth.

I discovered this last weekend and the lady in boots put it on for me so i bought one, but by wednesday I had red small bumbs all along my eyebrow line where ive been putting it.

Im gutted but they are still red and bumpy and now really noticable as they are so red. I dont have the receipt anymore but have only used this so know it cant be anything else.

Do you know of any other eyebrow fibre inducing things for eyebrows? Ive tried powders/ creams etc but nothings come close to this product, feel gutted im allergic to the one thing that helps me!

Yes to taking it back. Absolutely.

Maybelline does a product called brow drama...It isn't quite gimme brow but isn't bad. Worth a go in this case if you like the effect

Thankyou i'll have a look at that tomorrow while im back in boots.

So will they just take it back? I dont have the receipt though?

I've taken cosmetics back to boots because they haven't agreed with my skin and I've never had any problems. Without the receipt you might only get an exchange or a credit voucher but at least you could get something else instead.

I agree with jenniuol, they should at least offer a credit note. You may have to push a little. Can they identify what you've bought from your advantage card if you used it?

Sleek at Superdrug do a dupe of Gimme Brow, I have it and it's good.

Im so glad that at least there are alternative to try then, Id be happy enough with a credit note as ill probably swap it for some of the suggestions here anyway so can get them in boots.

Yeah hadnt thought about the advantage card but I'll ask anyway, I think it was about £17 so havent really got that to waste anyway on something thats given me bright red blistering eyebrows! Blush
