grooming your eyebrows.

Im probably not the only one who has unruly thick eyebrows. It's my Jewish heritage. Well, I recently bought something ive really been wanting-the Ardell Brow Trim and Shape from Target for about three dollars. You get three razors angled and fitted for eyebrow shaving. Here are some tips and guides on how to use this:

STEP ONE: use an eyebrow brush to comb your eyebrow hair straight up.

STEP TWO: using eyebrow trimmers, (scissors) trim the extra long hairs that are sticking up.

STEP THREE: apply some kind of lotion (preferrable cocoa butter) to eyebrows in order to avoid irritation

STEP FOUR: use the razor to shave any stray hairs in between your eyebrows

STEP FIVE:using white eyeliner, draw the point above your eyebrow where you want the highest point of your arch to be. when you trim/shave, make sure you never shave that point.

STEP SIX : use a white eyeliner to indicate either a)the shape you want, by drawing the shape, or b)where you want there to be less hair

STEP SEVEN: shape your brows by using the razor HINT-DO NOT shave the end points of your brows or they will look boxy

STEP EIGHT: brush your eyebrows in order to keep them looking clean and groomed.

STEP NINE: apply brow color if you think you need it.

STEP TEN: apply clear mascara or brow gel, to keep your brows in shape all day.

I hope this helped!

saturday's haul! the beauty products

today i went to walmart (a store that i loathe, but i must bow down to cheap affordable prices), recieved two dresses as present from my mother, went to buffalo exchange to give some of my clothes and to shop, and lastly ross.

at walmart, i found a new line of shampoos that i wanted to try out because suave is just not cutting it. the brand is called Sunsilk, co-created with Teddy charles, a hairstylist. I got the thermashine shampoo, which is supposed to boost shine and protect from damage. i notice that my hair is kinda fryed from all the dying i did last year. i did a little research on the product. apparently the line has been created by 7, countem, 7 of the best hair experts in the world.

another product im loving is the line: (moistur)ologie. this line is supposed to replish dry hair. it comes with three step, the first two being shampoo and conditioner, and the third being what i got--the leave-in treatment. its called the in(fus)ion 23. i was suprised that when i opened it, the contents were of the thickness of water, very liquidy. but the intructions say to massage it into your roots and out to your ends. i will give it a try and then get back to you. the third option also comes in a spray bottle, which i would have gotten but i used a leave in conditioner in a spray form already.

the next thing i purchased was the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in #10 : pink frosting. So far i love it!! it is very cute looking and creamy soft. it also is very sparkly so it works as a shimmer as well. warning: do not use with your finger, most people make the mistake of applying makeup with your bare hands. the reason you sholdnt do that is because you have natural oils on your fingers that are bad for your skin/pores.

i needed some lipstick and there was a dollar lipstick sale. the brand is: love my lips, and i got pink and bright red. so far, i tried the red and for a dollar its definetly pretty good. its not the best quality and it doesnt last long, but like i said...for that price its pretty good.

i needed a deoderant, since summer is almost here, and i went for dove like i always do. this time, i picked out the Dove Ultimate Energizing deoderant, in grapefruit and lemongrass. it smells sooo good, but i hate white residue. its about five bucks.


last of the beauty products was nail polish. along with the same lipstick brand, i got the brand: Love My Nails, in orange blossom, blue, and neon pink. i tried on the orange today and warning: it does not come out looking orange at all but more of a peachy. which is good because orange is kinda strange anyways.
