'The $13 product that makes me look more put together in seconds.'

Let me paint you a picture: It's another humid Sydney morning. My hair is doing that lovely halo of frizz thing. My eyebrows look like John Howard's. But instead of pulling out heat tools/having a meltdown because I need to be on the bus 15 minutes ago, I've found a bargain beauty product that sorts both issues in approximately 30 seconds flat.

Yes! I have. I really have. And it's a very good time.

Watch: Speaking of beauty, check out the handy product that solved our dry feet issue. Post continues below.



It's called got2b glued 4 brows & edges and you can grab it for around $13 at Chemist Warehouse. Heard of it?

This is it:

Looks like mascara! Is not mascara!

What is got2b glued 4 brows & edges?

Think of it as your hair and brows' new best friend. My lovely colleague Charlie Begg recommended it to me ages ago (she uses the hair gel version) and it's been on my 'to try' list ever since. Then, I came across it while I was waiting for my prescription and perusing the beauty aisles (this is when I make all my best beauty purchases, btw).

The product is basically a more sophisticated, user-friendly version of the classic got2b Glued Gel that beauty enthusiasts have sworn by for years. But this one's specifically designed for brows and baby hairs, making it perfect for those of us who want that "I actually made an effort" look without, you know, making much effort.

Why is it so good?

Look, as someone who's currently seven months pregnant and taking every shortcut available, this product is a godsend.

First off, those annoying flyaways/baby hairs are the bane of my existence. They make every attempt at a sleek ponytail or chic bun look like I've run a marathon. (Would never). This gel tackles them without making your hair feel like it's been cement-sealed to your head. I use it to create a slicked-back bun or ponytail, and unlike other products I've tried (looking at you, various gels and wax sticks), it doesn't leave that crunchy, sticky feeling that makes you want to wash your hair immediately.

On the brow front, if you've inherited unruly eyebrow genes (thanks, Dad), this is your solution. While I'm not particularly into the laminated brow trend, I do appreciate my eyebrows staying where I put them. The best part? You can still use your regular brow products without everything getting flaky, weird and white.

The verdict.

As someone who's tried countless hair styling products that promise the world but deliver a sticky mess, this one's different. It's become my go-to for those days when I need to look polished but don't have the energy for a full styling routine (which, let's be honest, is most days lately).

Whether you're dealing with humidity-induced frizz, rebellious baby hairs, or eyebrows with a mind of their own, this little tube handles it all. And at $13, it won't break the bank.

For anyone looking for an affordable, easy-to-use product that actually delivers on its promises, this is it. It's the kind of product that makes you look like you've got your life together, even when you're running late and haven't had your morning coffee yet.
