Eyebrows!

Today I had my eyebrows waxed and shaped for the first time. I started letting them grow out a few months ago and wanted to reward myself for resisting the urge to pluck while they were so crazy.

I couldn't resist a few goodies as well. I highly recommend that mascara, it's my second tube. I really like the Clinique spot treatment and it really helps keep me from touching my face. The face wash is lovely and the exfoliator is nice too, less harsh than apricot scrub but still feels like it's doing something.

This has got to be the cutest lil product! look at those tiny tweezers! It's a bit of wax and shadow to fill my brows in. I'm set!

I feel like I might have used mythology(mac) but I cant remember.

I was actually trying to do this, but in the step where you put a little color on the outer crease I put a lot. I like how it turned out though. I think my blending looks pretty good, but then again I don't really know :D

 After reading a makeup book I ordered I was thinking that my eyebrows have that overly plucked look. I've had the same shape since I was 13 when my friend's brother's girlfriends plucked them, plus they're light. It's such a pain in the ass to let them grown out., I've never gone this long without giving up. Once they all make there way out I'll go to a professional to have them shaped.

There's still time to enter the giveaway!

Now that I have more space I've gotten back into my makeup :) I have a little lightup vanity mirror that I keep on one of my desks and this is much better than putting my face on in the car(not while driving, I don't drive!). When I got into mac a few years ago I was 40 lbs lighter and feeling really good about myself, then I gained it all back rarely felt very pretty  or pretty enough to put more effort into the way i looked. Then Ed was working on Super Meat Boy and we rarely left the house so I would go weeks without even putting on mascara D: 

Lately though i have been feeling so good (except for the week I was on birth control:) I'm eating well and regularly walking on the treadmill so I'm losing weight, even though it's slow going I cant help seeing myself in a brighter light. I hope to do more of these type of posts and learn what the heck I'm actually doing. My go to colors are gold and copper so I'll need to branch out and take risks!

>This is where I should write what I used and where I used it.<

I'm super happy to have found Courtney's blog recently and then I saw this post on cleaning brushes which is so helpful, because really don't want to ruin a brush especially when you've decided to invest in a few $20+ ones! and she has super pretty makeup posts :)

See you tomorrow for the next installment of  Q&A vlog  #11-20
