Because laminated brows without the $26 price tag? Yes, please.
Let’s talk hold. Not “looks good for five minutes” hold. Not “curls back up by lunch” hold. We mean the kind that keeps your brows up, in place, and unbothered—whether you’re at work, in the heat, or three hours deep into girls’ night.
