Get Into It: Eyebrow Kits

In my world, eyebrows are very important. I love mine. Getting my eyebrows threaded make me feel like a new woman. I remember the first time I got them arched as a teen. I felt like it made my face brighter. Since then, I have had my brows tweezed, waxed and now threaded. I prefer threading. I have the best brow lady in my city. I like the clean look of threading. I also love that getting my eyebrows threaded lasts longer than waxing. I can go almost at least 6-8 weeks in between appointments. Recently, I have discovered brow kits. These kits include wax (either colored or clear), powder and a brush. Some come with tweezers as well. I have tried two to very different results.



The first brow kit I tried was the e.l.f. Studio Eyebrow Kit in medium. It retails for $3 which is super affordable. I purchased it from Target. The packaging is gorgeous, sleek and black. I love that the kit has a mirror for on the go brow upkeep. This kit includes wax, powder and a two sided brush. I loved that the wax was brown because so are my natural brows. I am not that fond of the powder though. It made my brows look great and very natural. I loved the ease of the brush. In the end, I wasn't overly impressed with the results. So, I went in search of another brow kit. 

This led me to the NYC Browser Brush On Brow Kit in Brunette. It retails for $3.99 at Target. It contains brow grooming wax,brow powder, brush and a tiny pair of tweezers for grooming. Those tweezers are a win for me. The packaging isn't as great as compared to the e.l.f. kit. There is no cute and useful mirror. But, that is the only thing that is lacking. I love the color of the wax and the powder. The powder makes my brows look much more natural. The brush is functional and practical.Everything about this kit is a win. I loved it so much that I have gone through two of these and I still have the e.l.f. one. It is my new favorite makeup product. I use it daily. I may not do a full face of makeup daily but I will always make sure my brows are on point. My daily eye makeup includes: brow powder, eye liner, eye shadow and mascara. For that reason, I would recommend the NYC brow kit. It's affordable, readily and widely available. Great product at a great price. Get into it!

It's My Hair: Eyebrow Edition

My eyebrows are a big deal to me. They've been arched with a straight razor, plucked, waxed and threaded. All painful in their own right. But all necessary. I literally feel slightly undone when they aren't perfectly snatched. I am in a threading phase. I do not see myself moving on from here. It's more expensive than the others. The winning factor is that it lasts longer than waxing, plucking or using a razor. The pain is minimal compared to the others. I love the way my brows look after they've been threaded. 

I'm lucky in the sense that I have a pretty perfect natural arch. This, I've been told, makes it almost impossible to mess them up while grooming them. But, like the old saying goes, almost doesn't count. I've had my fair share of mishaps when it comes to my brows. My profile picture is the perfect example of my precisely threaded eyebrows. That is my goal every time I get them done. I know, I know, I'm such a girlie girl. I am very much into primping myself. My appearance is important to me. My eyebrows are high on that list. What about you, ladies?
