Hey there my sweet friends! Happy Monday to you! I tell you what I just woke up with a song in my heart and joy on my mind! Stir it up in yourself! You can choose to be happy or you can choose to look at circumstance, so I say, choose joy! Oh and speaking of joy...
Here I am holding the Karmissie at home hair threader system by Anita Sun who built her career in aesthetics for the skin.
She was taught the ancient art of hair threading by her mom and turned it into a career and now into a help for busy ladies who can't get into the salon or due to the economy are cutting back on beauty treatments.
I think that the initial investment in a Karmissie will pay off triple fold once you start using it.
I watched, yes, for real, I watched the dvd instructions, and then got started. I practiced several times with the button on the Karmissie but have found that I really prefer the "see saw" method of pinching the two ends of the X shaped threads together.
I found that getting the fine hairs along the jaw close to my ears are difficult and will definately need some more skill honing. So for right now, that area on my face is a bit patchy.
You can see in the photo I am using the numbing lotion. Seriously, it's a nice feature but I found I didn't need it. I'm saving mine for my next tattoo session and will be using the Karmissie on the
bare skin-no pain numbing lotion needed!
I say that and something you should know about my personality is that I also really enjoy going to the dentist and all the scraping.
The chalk powder is really helpful to make the hair more visible. The first time I used it when doing my cheeks/jawline, but I found that on the
second try I didn't need the chalk on the jaw. I definately needed it between the eyebrows and along the brow line for making a clean line.
I'm sad to say that my big bushy thick eyebrows are gone. The ones that I grew in using the Revitabrow product have vanished and now I am back to my normal thin, lighter brown brows that are actually darkened and shaped with eyeshadow in the photos and video below. Now visit the website www.karmissie.com to get yours, and the video below is a live unedited session of me testing the Karmissie at home hair threader. Watch me do it and see how easy it is, so know that you too can do it! Enjoy!
