Maintenance , pampering , beauty rituals, up-keep....whatever you want to call it, becomes so much harder after having kids. For me my kids come first and even if I am a mess they always look their best...well I mean besides the snot dried under their noses, or grass stain on the pants because they ran to the van and fell on the way there ;-) You know what I mean, right?
Before I had kids, and even when we only had one I was at the salon atleast once a month. Getting my hair cut and sometimes colored and always getting my eyebrows waxed. Well now that I am a momma of 3 I get down and dirty and pluck my eyebrows...I mean who has time to get it done at the salon? I am lucky to make it there once every 3 months, and oh my trust me you do NOT want me going 3 months without touching up my brows. ;-)
I have been
blessed with some nice thick eyebrows that require a of taming so I was thrilled when I heard about
Billion Dollar Brows. BDB believes that eyebrows are one of the most important features on our face, yet we often tend to neglect them. So Billion Dollar Brows was created to help stop this neglect and help customers all over the globe have the brows they deserve at a sensible price.
BDB has some fabulous
products and I was thrilled to receive the Brow Buddy, BDB Tweezers and the Brow Gel.
Let's talk about this Brow Buddy....you may think you know what you're doing when it comes to shaping & plucking your eyebrows...I thought I did, but one time using the Brow Buddy and I found out I was SOOO wrong! I won't lie, I didn't truly "get" how to use this when I first read the directions, but there are a couple youtube videos out there that I found helpful :)
So before I show you my "before" picture, let me say that I am so embarrassed by the fact that somehow I thought my eyebrows looked "ok". I knew it would be kind of bad, because when I found out BDB was on its way to my doorstep I didn't do any touch-ups so I knew I would have some unrulies, what I didn't know was how uneven my brows were! And this was after actually having them waxed in a salon just a few weeks before. EEK!!
Ok, so BDB to my rescue! I love that BDB gives you the perfect outline for your brows...never in a million years would I have thought to draw on my face to shape my brows...but why not? I mean you don't paint your walls without putting up painters tape , even with coloring books you tell your little one's "stay in the lines" , so why not for your face? I think its an absolute brilliant idea, and obviously something I needed! So after getting my "lines" I plucked with the amazing BDB Tweezers!
Now, I have to say I had some pretty good tweezers in my bag before this, they were heavy duty and worked great...but they were also a little to pointy and I can't tell you how many times I jabbed myself while plucking! The BDB tweezers are amazing! They are really lightweight and easily grab hold of those unwanted brow hairs. I love them!! Now I have to say my brows did not look "great" after, because I had been over plucking so the fun process of growing some of my brows out was about to begin!
Although my brows did not look great afterwards I was pleased that after some time my brows would be looking much better than they had in years!! Also , the Brow Gel has been great at kind of smoothing things together during this process.
I have been using a different brand of brow gel over the past year and I have really liked it, but the company I was buying it from stopped selling it and I couldn't find another that went on well. BDB is better than the one I had been using, I am absolutely crazy about all of these products!
So over the past few weeks I have been allowing some of my brows to grow back in and honestly its been a very hard task because I know they look quite ridiculous but I am pressing on for good end results! And already they are looking much better!! Like anything else its a process and I am very thankful for Billion Dollar Brows and their help in getting me there ;-)
