Brows!

Eyebrows are such an important part of of any makeup routine, or at least they should be! I always think of that article that came out awhile ago about celebrities without eyebrows, in fact, I think there is actually a website dedicated to it! Ha!

This is something I try to never forget, even on days when I don't wear makeup (which is often actually- rarely ever on the weekends) I try to at least fill in my eye brows.

The reason for no makeup on the weekends is because I just like to let me face breathe! Unless, I have something big going on and then I will wear it.

I am obsessed. Yes, OBSESSED with Anastasis Beverly Hills' eyebrow stuff! I even got my sister, Katie hooked on their Brow Wiz pencil and she is not one to use an eye brow pencil, so that should say something as to its awesomeness!

The Brow Wiz pencil ($21 at Ulta/Sephora) is double-sided pencil with a spooly on one end and a mechanical pencil on the other. I first start by brushing my brows with the spooly and then I use the use the Brow Fix wax pencil (pictured) just to wipe over my brows and tame them before filling them in. This was a gift with purchase and I don't know if I will repurchase it ($21) as it's pretty spendy! Then I fill in my brows using the Brow Wiz. It glides on SO well- hands down the BEST brow pencil I have ever used and I have tried many! I always use the Clear Brow Gel to finish off my brows. I do it pretty light-handed, as I don't want hard crunchy eyebrows all day.

If I am feeling really spunky I will bring out the Dipbrow Pomade ($18) (I believe this is sold out nation wide still, but should be coming back in stock soon!) This is tricky to apply and really does take come work. I bought the special brush with spooly to apply ($18) and I still struggle some times to get it on naturally.

I have the shade Chocolate, as the Dark Brown was wayyyy too dark, in fact, I kind of think that the Chocolate is too dark for me. The next shade lighter is Auburn, but that has too much red in it for me. I just don't know! I will continue to play with this stuff and see!

Oh, I almost forget to mention. I pluck my brows, I don't wax them, but I would like to start! I want to try the Benefit Brow Bar at Ulta. I believe it's $20 and, of course you can use your reward card and earn points! I am just over $600 now- which means I have a $21'ish dollar credit to save up and use whenever I want. If you shop at Ulta often the reward card is really worth it!
