All Eye . . . Brows on Me!

Mademoiselles, by now everyone knows I am addicted to all things pretty. Two days ago I was on the phone with my oh so sweet cousin Cassy and made the comment that I needed to send my eyebrow tweezers in for sharpening. Ladies, she laughed at me like I had lost my mind. I am addicted to beautiful eyebrows. I have been getting my eyebrows threaded, an Indian way of removing facial hair, for over 10 years. I make sure to get mine done every 2 weeks. So here I am watching all the new hair come in. I don't try to pluck all the hairs just the strays on the side. So here I am with my Tweezerman tweezers and realize they are a little dull. Therefore I make the statement. She laughed and laughed. I told her that if you purchase a pair of Tweezerman tweezers, there is a lifetime sharpening for them. (http://www.tweezerman.com) If you look in the bottom right hand corner, you will see the link for "free sharpening." So, I'm not crazy. I'm obsessed with perfect brows. On to new beauty products. Francois Nars of Nars Cosmetics has just released his wonderful Body Glow II. If you are a fan of the original Body Glow, which I love on chocolate skin in the summer, then ladies I know this one is going to be phenomenal. It has the amazing monoi oil made from Tahitian gardenias. This is pure luxury and it leaves such a lovely glow on the skin. What I also do is put a little of the Body Glow in a small spritz bottle and mix with water and you have an amazing oil sheen that smells yummy. It has a very sweet smell, so if sweets are not your thing. Stand clear. If you haven't used any Nars products, get the to the store immediately. They have amazing colors and very intense pigments for eyes, lips and cheeks. Kiehl's has been know for amazing skin care products and they have just released their Ultra Facial Cream. Fans of the Ultra Facial Moisturizer are going to love this one as well. It will not be available in stores until May 9, but is available on their website.

    FYI-unless you are the original author, you should probably cite the author who puts these daily finds in the Metro Washington Post Express paper.

    On a lighter note...I met you at HU a few weeks ago. I love your blog. I love to meet a professional black woman who takes care of both her inner and outer beauty. Anyways, I'm a college student about to take a vacay in Miami. Since I can't buy both the Monoi and the Body Glow, I was gonna opt for the Body Glow. I'm a shade darker than you with a slight red undertone, do you think it would still look pretty on me? Can it be used all over? Is it soo worth the $59? Let a chica know...;-)

    Who threads your brows? I used to get mine done in the ATL but I don't know where to go in DC.
