I’ve used one in Sydney, $12

Update

I took my Gimme Brow back to the Benefit counter at Myer Sydney. They looked up my Myer One (Myer rewards) card to find proof of purchase, because it was MONTHS since I’d bought it & didn’t have the receipt. I didn’t get cash back, they gave me a $40 Myer card which is valid for 12 months. It’s better than nothing.

I’m currently using Benefit Gimme Brow!

I checked out the Aussie Benefit website & there’s no mention of a recall. I checked the Gimme Brow listing & there’s just a “Coming Back Soon” banner with no further explanation.

The Myer website listing of Benefit brow products mysteriously omits Gimme Brow. There’s no mention of a recall on the Myer website either.

You were fobbed off with BS duality! That’s outrageous! I’d pluck that Gimme Brow out of the bin. I’m going to phone the Sydney Myer tomorrow during business hours. I don’t have my original packaging either. I’ll update here after I’ve spoken to them.

bumping an old thread rather than create a new one but a quick PSA, Benefit Gimme Brow gel has been recalled – take yours back to where you bought it for a refund asap

sadly I just had to bin mine as I got it in myer melbourne and not planning to travel all the way there just to get a refund 🙁 my local Myer won’t take it without the box as they can’t scan it so be aware of that if you need to return yours

Wow am going to have to go now! I really need some attention

I finally remembered Alani’s brow page and found she is working at a new clinic!
I managed to get an appointment for this morning!! YAYY!!!

She did an AWESOME job and it was really nice going to a room and feel like i was being given attention, rather than the whole hustle bustle of benefit brow bar. They are always so busy I am sure the girls there are on tight schedules!

Anyhow if anyone else is needing brow art done, she really is an artist Alani! She tinted and shaped my brows like an artist until she was satisfied with them! She can be reached at the Dermatology Institute of Victoria

I hadn’t met Alani previously but she is lovely, very professional, passionate about brows and excellent at what she does 🙂

Does anyone have recommendations for brows in the south east?
it’s just too hard to get into the benefit brow bar at chaddy with bec or marie these days!
Since they started appointments, i thought it would be easier, but its actually harder 🙁

Last two weeks they have been booked out at least a week in advance! I just cant plan my time with my roster that far ahead 🙁

Such a shame, I was just starting to like my arches too LOL

So glad to find this near the top of recent activity because I am worried and desperate for advice haha!
Has anyone used the BRISBANE benefit brow bar? I went there the other day and the girl told me to grow my bros out more so they could work better with it (i look so awful i can’t put eye makeup on because im too shocked by how terrible my brows look atm)

Any suggestions? Girls I should ask for? Should i stay away all together? thank you!

Thanks Gill! Yes I wasn’t keen on going to a regular salon so when I heard of this one I was very interested. They really know what they are doing. What state do you live in? I’m sure there’s some girls here that would have some tips on where else you could go 🙂

The trouble is, I don’t live handy for any decent sized city. I’m in NSW, not too far from Mittagong.

I actually love them now! I keep looking at myself in the mirror and getting a confidence boost! I guess I didn’t really expect it to stain my skin but now that has worn off I’m liking them a lot more. You must be able to save heaps of money tinting them yourselves! But same as you I wouldn’t be able to do the waxing as I couldn’t trust myself!

thought that would be the case! 🙂 it always looks less shocking after a few days. I’d be interested in seeing an updated picture 🙂

I do my mums eyebrows too, she has very sparse eyebrows, so I actually purposely create a shape with the tint as she’s lazy and rarely fills them in even though I gave her brow powder and brush 🙁
need to do it weekly to ensure its maintained as it does fade very quickly. otherwise I have to start all over again creating a shape.

and yeah I do save a lot of money by tinting my own (and mums) eyebrows.
because where I get them waxed it costs $20 more! the tube of tint is only $12 at my salon supplies (can’t remember how much oxidant is, but not much either!) and I get quite a few uses out of it.
