Hello! So I spent over a month using Revitabrow to grow some brows. Here they are.

Then after growing brows they got a bit long and unruly! So it's time to go to a brow threader to have them shaped. Enter this place in the mall.



It was clean and affordable at $10 for both brows and the space in between. My threader was Brooke Leopold and she is there most days, so if you like my brows and want yours threaded too, go see her!

Now here is a close up of just how big my brows are.

I love them, but they need some guidance. Remember before I used the Revitabrow treatment on them, they were very light in color and thin, sparse and always had to be drawn on.

That's Brooke in the photo working the threads as they pull across my hairy eyebrows. It is a unique sensation. It pulls, but it doesn't hurt? Oddly enough, it's relaxing.

You know, I'm sitting in a reclined chair in the middle of the mall having my brows threaded and luckily the mall wasn't busy. I suppose that the threading isn't as garish looking as being waxed in public?

There are more services offered: like a chin thread, a full face thread or anywhere that you need hair removed can be threaded.

At one point, this hair removal system turns into a tag team effort where in order to get the underside of the brow I have to hold my eyelid shut tight and pull my brow up, sort of like eyebrow Twister game without the colored spots and falling over. This is how Brooke wields the thread for precise brow shaping, with my help!
This is a close up of how the thread pulls the
brow hair. It's two pieces of regular sewing thread twisted together and somehow it grabs and pulls?

Now that the stray hairs are gone it's time to clean up the length of the brow hairs and trim the tops.

All done! Look at the difference between the first picture and the last! Gone are the wild and woolly brows that I grew in using Revitabrow and now I have lovely shapely full brows! Oh so exciting!

There are Shapes Brow Bars all over in Westcor shopping malls. Brooke Leopold did mine and she can do yours too!

The Cellulite Cream Challenge

This is a TotalBeauty.com body article

Cellulite is an unpleasant part of life that most of us need to accept. And though experts generally agree that you can't totally get rid of it, you can help minimize the appearance of it -- with the right products. We had readers test a variety of popular cellulite fighters to tell you which ones might be worth spending hard earned cash on, and which ones to skip.

Well as you know the past few weeks I have been using the Revitabrow product to grow my thin, light, sparse eyebrows and lo and behold the product works. The tube is empty and my brows are thick and full, dark too! Oh the joy of a product that works. Though now I stand with the challenge of: how do I maintain this?

My brows are so "Brooke Shield'ish" that friends and family have commented and noticed with out me saying anything. Argh! I want them to stay, my thick and furry friends.

So I'm out of the Revitabrow, though just got a sample of the Masimum Lash conditioner. It's geared for eyelashes to grow them longer, stronger and thicker. But I'm guessing that what is good for the eyelash can also be good for the eyebrow?

Here's to science and my face as a guinnea pig. Today is the first day that I have applied the Maximum Lash eyelash conditioner to my eyebrows. From here on out I will use the product on both my eyelashes and my eyebrows and I hope that they both stay long and thick!

p.s. the real test of my newly grown eyebrows is that I'm going to have them "threaded". The ancient art of India women is stateside and there is a kiosk in the mall that does threading of brows. I've always waited with anticipation of having a brow to pluck, but now, I can see the forest and the trees and they must be shaped! I'll let you know how it goes.
