Not a product as such but the one thing i definately can't live without are my tweezers!!! The thought of my brows going bushy scares the hec outta me! Bit of a brow fanatic, it is one of my fav treatments to do, strange i know i'm just a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to that sort of thing x
