The Fixx is in! Review of Products by Elke Von Freudenberg

Hi Everyone!

Last week I posted a Q&A with celebrity makeup artist and brow specialist, Elke Von Freudenberg. And this week I want to chat about and give a review of the products that I received from The Brow Collection. If you'd like to read our Q&A, click here to read that post!


Too tired to read today? Not a problem! Click here to watch the video of me chatting about Elke and her products!


The first product I received was the Brow Fixx in brunette. Let me start off by saying that my brows are awful! They are at least three shades darker than my natural hair color and small as anything! When I fill them in I find that they're even darker! And if I try to blend out, my brows look cloudy and cartoonish. When I try to add length to them it often makes my brows look silly or just my face silly in general. Elke in our Q&A told me how I could go about things differently to achieve a better look and what I was doing wrong. And although her advice is spot on, I felt that the Brow Fixx actually did the exact trick I was looking for! The Brow Fixx can be used after applying  brow color to the brows for a finishing touch or it can be used alone. I love using it alone. The product is not intense, it goes easy and it takes 2 seconds to achieve the look that I've been searching for! It also grooms the eyebrow hairs into a proper shape and if you wanted to you could use the product on your lashes. I am really enjoying this product, check out my actual eyebrow to the right!


The second product I tried was Elke's Hi-Light Brow Shadow in Cyber Glow, which is a sparkle yellow gold. By using this as a brow highlight "your eyebrows look sharper, more define, and it brings attention to your eyebrows" (thebrowcollection.com). This product is supposed to "work great to mask growing in brows until that next appointment by creating a shimmer glow to distract from unruly hairs by bouncing light away from brow hairs." I was really skeptical about that, but I've been using the product for a little over a week and I must say that is actually does do what it says its going to do! You can use this as all over eye shadow,  face/body highlighter, or just as a brow highlighter. I really like how it works well with my many many shadow combinations (haha) and I really do feel it finishes my look.  You can click here to read more about the product and even add it to your collection! Free shipping on all orders over $50!
