  1. @carmelnicolebeauty reviewing Anastasia Beverly Hills Micro Stroke Brow Pen at 01:44 in a YouTube Shorts video
    MicroStroke Brow Penshade · Dark Brown
    • It has this really super fine tip and for someone like me who has non-existent eyebrows, this is perfect cuz it just allows me to do really, really fine strokes1:26
    • It does come with a little spoolie on the end, which a lot of brow pens actually don't1:44
    • I find that sometimes my eyebrows can look a little bit too harsh with the Glossier, whereas this just gives really, really natural-looking strokes2:05
    • They stay all day
    • It is an amazing brow pen and would be an immediate repurchase if I lost all of my makeup2:35
  2. @carmelnicolebeauty reviewing Rare Beauty Flexible Lifting Eyebrow Gel at 03:26 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I like this one because I prefer more waxy-type formulas when it comes to eyebrow products just because I feel like they cling on to all of the brow hairs a little bit better and it just gives you fuller-looking eyebrows3:04
    • Although this is called a gel, I definitely feel like it's a bit of a hybrid between a gel and a wax3:26
    • You'll get hold all day
    • It's clear, which is always going to be my preference on the eyebrows cuz I don't have enough eyebrows to tint3:40
    • Doesn't feel sticky, doesn't feel tacky, won't leave your eyebrows feeling crunchy3:50
    • It's a really great brow gel3:54

  4. @carmelnicolebeauty reviewing Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Moisturiser at 05:28 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • Nothing has ever come close, especially in terms of quality of the eyeshadows and how impactful they are9:08
