Benefit Cosmetics. Have you heard of this amazing place? It has come to my attention that there are so many people out there who have never heard of the Benefit brand and have no idea that this Browbar even exists, even those who live in Cities & civilisation. Don’t worry people, I am here to enlighten you. And believe me, you won’t be sorry. Turns out I am not the only one who has been living under a rock! It is not just for eyebrows either – it is all things beauty and very trendy!
I first read about Benefit on Sonia Styling’s Blog, and you can read about it here. I also read about it on Redcliffe Stye. On a recent trip to Brisbane I just had to visit. This gorgeous Benefit Brow Bar is in Myer, Queen Street Mall and is located in the Cosmetics Department. I was just beside myself to finally be there. I booked an eyebrow wax and it was game on. This place is a real game changer for those of us who are quite challenged in the brow area. Or any area for that matter. Rachel was my beautician and was so helpful, demonstrating all sorts of products on me.
My top 3 Benefit Products:
1. Gimme Brow
Brow volumizing fibre gel $32.00 (I have “Light/Med” colour)
O…..My……God. This stuff is amazing. I am hooked. It doesn’t matter anymore how long I go between eyebrow tints because this stuff does the trick. It has a mascara like wand and adds fibres and colour to your brows, just your brows – not your skin. Unbelievable!!!! Not only does it add fibre and colour but it also brushes your brows and shapes them in the right direction and keeps them in place. You have to try it, seriously! It is so great that I just had to share this unattractive selfie I took….. check it out! Now do you believe me? 2. Fake Up
$35.00 (I have this in “light”)
This is a concealer stick. I also purchased this little brush to apply ($31.00). I have never really used a concealer but this one has changed my mind and does wonders for your confidence! Helps tired dark eyes too. And what a cool name. 3. The POREfessional
$53.00
This PRO balm helps to minimize the appearance of pores. It really does work. Rachel demonstrated it on me, over my make up and I was sold. Thank you Rachel, yes, I would like to purchase one.
High Brow – a brow lifting pencil. Apply under the brow and smudge with your finger
They’re Real – Mascara. Rachel gave me this one, it is a sample. I have tried it and I must say I am quite impressed. I am pretty fussy when it comes to mascara and have tended to stick with the one brand, but I may be switching to this one. The samples they give you are very generous in size. They don’t try to push their products onto you, but they have no hesitation in handing you samples, which I really love. You can try without the pressure to buy. Just one more thing I love about the Brow Bar!!!

The brow bar is my city fix too. They give my brows shape and style. Big love for their knowledge and products. Xxx
So much love. I am so pleased I found this place…..even if it will probably be 3 thousand years before I return….I have my Gimme Brow and that is all that matters! Thanks for stopping by, great to hear from you Jasmyn!
My sister-in-law who lives in New York took me to Benefit when I was visiting. So cool.
Since then I have been a complete convert – you can buy the products on-line from Adore Beauty. If you need a fix and can’t get to Myer…..!
O wow, thanks so much for that tip, I thought I may just have to call Myer and get them to send it out, will check out Adore! I would love to go to New York one day – very jealous!!!!
How good is it to have your brows professionally done?! And the right products certainly help. I’ve got my brow appointment on Thursday and I cannot wait – it’s been a while!
Sonia I just love the Benefit products. And what about the fabulous samples they give you, they are unreal!
OMG, never knew about brow bars!
Yes, I must be living under a rock!
Now just need to find one in New Zealand – will update you on my progress 🙂
xoxox
I know Anya, I thought I was the only one living under a rock but was amazed to learn that so many people had never heard of this wonderful place. Hope you find one.
I just googled it Anya and found this article (Smith & Caughey’s Aukland). There is also a counter at Aukland International Airport. Not sure if this helps at all.
Love me some Benefit Brow Bar action! I’ve got all of those products in my cupboard and use them everyday. Fake Up is the business and They’re Real is a total lash game changer!!
I agree Charmaine….with everything you just said!!!!
Now that is a place to visit for some pampering! I’ll have to find one when I’m in Sydney in January. Thanks for sharing all the inside tips!
So, not in Adelaide then.
Will be in Sydney in March. Will pop in! Thanks! X
There is definitely one in Adelaide. It is in the Myer City Store. Sonia Styling wrote all about it. She is from Adelaide. You will have to check it out on you next trip to Adelaide.
I will! I had looked on the link and couldn’t see Adelaide listed. Crisis averted!
Only the girls at the Benefit Brow bar allowed to touch my brows. They always do an awesome job. I need to try the Gimme brow. It looks great! Rachel x
The lovely lady who did my eyebrows was called Rachel and she was even from Redcliffe, i was telling her about your blog. How funny is that. She was great. That Gimme Brow is the business.
Benefit is opening at Myer Macquarie this Saturday. I know where I’m heading this weekend!
How exciting, have you been before Ingrid? You will love it. Have a lovely time.
