There’s this game that women play called the “Desert Island Scenario.”  It’s very straightforward — if you were stranded on a desert island and could have only one beauty product with you, what would it be?  This hypothetical question controls for hygiene and health care products, so you won’t get distracted with practical answers like sunblock or toothpaste or contact lens solution.  The idea is to find the one item that makes you feel the best about yourself, even if there is only a volleyball named Wilson around to appreciate it.

Most women say mascara, which I totally get.  I used to joke that my eyes are virtually non-existent if I don’t have mascara to open them up.  But then I discovered Eyeko’s Brow Magic Brow Boost.  This stuff is A-MAZ-ING.  Not only does it make your eyes pop the way mascara does, but it structures your whole face.  The product is made of very subtle fibers that add thickness, as well as color and shape, to your brows.  It’s so much better than a brow pencil, which can be hard to blend, not to mention match to your brows.  Brow Boost uses a softer applicator and can be brushed along your brows as soft or heavily as you want to achieve a more natural look.  And if you mess up, it’s easy to clean up with a Q-tip.

I used to ignore my brows, but after using Brow Boost, I felt my face was a lot more polished and refined.  Not terribly surprising given how important we’re told eyebrows can be (after all, can you imagine what Cara Delevingne would be without hers), but eye-opening to me nonetheless.  I ordered my first bottle off of Net-a-Porter (http://www.net-a-porter.com), and when I went to get a second bottle, I discovered it had sold out in my color (light to medium), so I searched everywhere and got three bottles from Saks Fifth Avenue (http://www.saks.com) and one bottle on back-order from Nordstrom (http://www.nordstrom.com).

Now I’m ready for a plane to crash-land on a desert island …
