Anastasia Beverly Hills; Eyebrow Expert

Recently when my fellow beauty bloggers had the opportunity to go to Anastasia Beverly Hills when attending the Total Beauty Beauty Blog Summit a few weeks ago, I admit, I was insanely jealous. My brows were in need of some dire attention and have been dying to look as good as they once did when my friend Elke did my brows during Fashion Week in September of ‘07. Thankfully Anastasia is also a Fairy Godmother and her products arrived at my door this week.

Products I am in love with:
-Brow Stencils
-Tinted Brow Gel
-Tweezers (this baby is sharp!)
-Go Brown Universal Brow …read more

Tweezerman Mini Slant Tweezer

My previous tweezer literally just had its final tweeze when I received an invite via LinkedIn from someone at Tweezerman. I thought to myself–the tweezing gods are smiling on me and before my brows could become a trainwreck (or overgrown shrubbery), the Tweezerman tweezers arrived.
While I was given a full size and travel size set of tweezers, me being a girl who loves pink, decided to use the pink polka dot travel size tweezers. Using small tweezers did take some getting used to, but what can I say, I love pink.
It’s amazing how a brand new set of tweezers works …read more

Boots No7 Longer Lashes and Lash & Brow Perfector

Boots No7 Longer Lashes
What they say:
Dramatically lengthen and curl your lashes for an irresistably gorgeous look. The special formula, enriched with pro-vitamin B5 will make lashes look up to 30% longer and is smudge-proof.
What I thought:
I can’t say I noticed any dramatic lengthening, but my lashes did appear to be slightly longer. I also noticed that my lashes curled, especially those lashes on the outter most part of my eye. This mascara was smudge-proof as well. I want to say that this was a no frills mascara and I don’t mean that in a bad way. So many mascara’s want …read more

The Model Eyebrow by Elke von Freudenberg

“The Model Eyebrow”
The secret to perfect eyebrows that no one ever tells you.

Top celebrity makeup artist (and a good friend of mine), Elke von Freudenberg, will be the first to tell you that eyebrows can make or break a model’s career. She should know. She’s worked on some of the top models for major modeling agencies in New York and Los Angeles such as Elite, Next, Wilhelmina and Ford, and perfect eyebrows are key, especially when designing a look for a new model.
“The first thing I see in eyebrows gone bad are two things. Eyebrows that look like a straight …read more

Setting a date with Alyn Topper

If you’ve watched the Bravo series, “Blow Out” then you are sure to know who Alyn Topper is. Both my husband and I liked watching it because I couldn’t believe that Jonathan was really that dramatic, although I hear his products are really good.
A month ago I found out Alyn was coming to NYC through an email Pierce sent out. Being the slacker that I am, I waited until 2 weeks ago to call Alyn’s assistant to try to set an appointment for March. Today she called me back and I will be meeting Alyn in person on March 3rd …read more

Esthetic Plus Tweezers

It’s really hard to find a good pair of tweezers. My eyebrows have been in disarray because I purchased some tweezers, thinking they were going to be good, but much to my disappointed and my eyebrows on crack…they were not.
So when I read Elke’s review on Esthetic Plus’ tweezers, I knew that if Elke raved about them, then they had to be good. Just a little while longer I told myself looking at my almost unibrow.
Yesterday I received my Esthetic Plus tweezers and quickly ran up to the bathroom to end the misery of my overgrown brows. Elke knew what …read more
