I have stumbled across THE best products for totally perfect brows! All you need are three little products to get your brows looking like you just came from the salon. Check 'em out!
Tweezerman Slant Tweezers, $20 are a classic beauty staple, and for good reason. These no frills tweezers stay perfectly balanced and sharpened to give you the closest plucking possible. Don't be fooled by drugstore tweezers. You may not think there's much difference, but trust me, there is! Just try this baby out and you'll never go back! Plus, Tweezerman offers free lifetime sharpening and balancing. Pretty sweet, huh?
Anastasia Mini Duo Angled/Spooley 7, $18 was something that I didn't know I needed until I tried it. And now I absolutely can't live without it! I use this genius little tool every day to perfect my brows. Yes, it may seem a little pricey for a little brow tool, but it makes all the difference in the world to your brow game. I tried a cheaper brow brow brush and ended up returning it for this one. The poor thing just couldn't compare. Use the sable haired slanted brush to fill in and shape your brows, and the spooley brush on the other end to blend in color and brush hairs into place. I promise you, use this and you'll be thanking me forever!
Smashbox Brow Tech, $24 in Brunette rounds out our brow trifecta. This little gem makes all the brow magic happen. Just dip your Anastasia brow brush into the soft powder and apply for sculpted, yet really natural looking brows. No Oscar the Grouch eyebrows here! Just fill in any sparse spots and shape the brows. Then apply the soft and pliable brow wax to give brow hairs hold and keep them in place all day. I love this wax because it isn't sticky or hard. I'm telling you, Brow Tech is the business!
Just use these three little tools and you'll have your self a set of perfect, eye framing brows. Guaranteed!

Beauty Review: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing
I'm about through with Neutrogena. Each new collection released leaves me disappointed, and the new Oil-Free Acne Wash Redness Soothing collection was no exception.
I happened upon this set in Wal-Mart and was intrigued by the fact that Neutrogena left out some if its usually irritating ingredients.
First, the Facial Cleanser, $7.99. I was super glad to see that Neutrogena had left out the highly irritating ingredient Sodium C14 16 Olefin Sulfonate. This ingredient is a detergent that can be super drying and irritating to the skin.
Unfortunately, Neutrogena neglected to omit the Menthyl Lactate (aka Menthol). They added less of it but it was still super irritating to my skin. Why they feel the need to add menthol to everything is beyond me. If your face needs that much cooling, sit in front of a fan for Pete's sake! This had the potential to be a great salicylic acid cleanser with no irritants, but Neutrogena totally missed the mark.
As far as the Gentle Scrub, $7.99 goes, it was far too gentle to be effective as a manual exfoliant. It has great ingredients such as salicylic acid and glycolic acid, but has the consistency of a cream cleanser, which isn't a fave for oilier skin types. This also has menthol, but in a far less irritating amount. Try this if your skin in super sensitive to more abrasive scrubs.
Have you tried these? Will you try them? Let's hear it!
My New Hair
Hey beauty babes! Sorry I'm a little late with this post. Thanks so much for your suggestions about my new hairstyle! Since deciding to relax my natural hair, I wanted to pick a style that was fun and a little out of the ordinary for me. So, I chose a combo of Halle Berry's and Eva Marcille's hair style. Check it out!
My friend and personal hair guru Monica hooked me up. I think it looks pretty great, if I do say so myself! :)
Thanks again for your help!
