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!

curling your eyelashes with E.L.F.

So, I bought an E.L.F. New and Improved Eyelash Curler from target. I decided i should do a step by step tutorial on how to curl eyelashes and why it's important. I love E.L.F, because it's so affordable. 1$ curler?? yes please.

curling your eyelashes makes them longer without looking like fake lashes.

STEP ONE: always keep your eyelash curler clean. I disinfect mine with krogers hydrogen peroxide topical solution.

STEP TWO: heat your curler with either a blow dryer or hot water. this makes the curling processes faster, easier, and last longer.

STEP THREE: open the eyelash curler by squeezing the two blag prongs together, and make sure you have allof your upper lashes in the slot available. Repeat this and then do it on the other eye.

STEP FOUR: apply two coats of mascara to the curled eyelashes, making sure you always go the same direction of the curl.

STEP FIVE: comb your eyelashing using an eyelash double sided comb, to prevent sticking and clumping.

-make sure your eyes/eyelashes are clean before curling

-replace the pads on your curler every three months. the ELF curler comes with an extra pad.

i hope this helped!
