Dear Diary, My Brows Are About To Murder Me In My Sleep…..!
Dear Diary,
Today it’s been 151 years since isolation and I’ve been inside with my eyebrows too long. Things are starting to fall apart. At first things were going well! We had great arches together, we had smooth, even lines but weeks went by and the brows turned on me.
Sincerely, the Muse.
Remember in 2015 when I went to the Benefit Brow Bar and it went something like this:
Well, I’m here to say that the situation is getting bad here. I need a threading badly. If I wait any longer I may just have one brow instead of two tomorrow. There’s some sexual attraction between the two and they are really trying to connect badly now. Ha…
No but seriously, I thought I’d take things into my own hands last month so I ordered the Finishing Touch Flawless Brow. People, it does not work. I know you’re gagging for a review over there and it’s coming soon but DON’T BUY IT. It’s way too difficult to actually use a unit like this on such a small area. You have to sort of do circles around the area you want to remove the hair and it just doesn’t quite work out right. I have A LOT of real estate around my eyes. I mean, I can totally do a Mimi over here no problem. From my lid up there’s just a lot of area I can get eyeshadow onto but even that extra area didn’t making working with this unit easy.
My next step was to try Flamingo and yeah, that’s a bad idea because I almost ripped off an entire brow. Something I learned in quarantine, I do not know how to wax my own eyebrows. Hey, but really good news! Flamingo is actually awesome. Who remembers the Sally Hansen Wax Strips? You had to rub those bad boys together like you were starting a camp fire to warm the wax before putting them on. Flamingo is way more user friendly. Tear the two strips of wax off each other, stick to the area you need to remove hair, and rip it off. It’s pretty painless plus they include wipes to remove any excess wax and a serum to soothe the area you waxed. They actually just started carrying Flamingo at Target and you can also snag the kits at shopflamingo.com. I highly recommend them but just don’t try doing your brows unless you’re a pro!
I mean some people can walk around all hairy like Amanda Palmer. She has hair under her arms, on her legs, and on her face since the Dresden Dolls were a thing. Girl, even made a song about her pubes. But it makes me uncomfortable AF when my brows are doing weird ass things. I like things less hairy thanks every so much!
The worst thing about this? How comfortable will I be going in for a waxing when things do begin to open up?
How do you feel about heading to the salon for a threading or a wax when things re-open?
Do share!
