I haven't been in the mood to wear makeup lately. My mood was just one factor, another one is because I just had my eyebrows embroidered/tattooed towards the end of December (the 30th to be exact). So its gna be pretty hard to maneuver foundation around them.
I have been debating for thee longest time whether or not I should go forth with it...I seeked advice from friends and family and of course most of them disgreed. I have naturally light haired brows and since i've been plucking them since the 6th grade they're now sparse and thin. I find it a hassle to have to fill 'em in all the time and be careful not to get them smudged and what not. I was watching
flymamaL's youtube channel and I adored her brows. I asked her if she had 'em done...turned out she fills them in everytime but she mentioned about getting it embroidered. I was like "what the hell is that?" so, (when in doubt) I Googled it. Hahah. Its supposed to look more natural/less harsh and its semi-permanent. Its a different technique and ink so it does not change to that yucky green-ish color (thank god). I told my cousins about it since I dont have sisters... and they too, since it runs in my mom's side of the family, have light haired/sparse brows. I was too PANTY to try it out first. So my younger cousin did hers first and I waited for full results which took about a month and a half to two months to fully heal until I did mine. And let me tell you it hurt like HELL! They do put numb cream but since thats only on the surface it didnt really do much. It helped when she first stabbed (for a lack of a better word) me, coz it just felt like plucking your brows but the pain gradually increased. But I sucked it up coz after all 'Beauty Is Pain'. An hour or so of pain and results will last about 15 (or more) years vs. filling them in all your life. After the session was done it didnt even hurt/sting, it was like normal but you still have to be careful lol. Anyways...I had my 2nd session/re-touch today and OMG it hurt more than the first time. I dont mean to scare you but its the truth. But if thousands of other people get it done you can too (if you want too)! I will post up pictures of it once its fully healed so dont worry. Unless you wna see 'em so bad then just let me know.
Well on to the good stuff. I know I said I haven't been in the mood to put on makeup because of my brows, but towards the end of two weeks after getting it done the first time they were kinda healed so I started playing again and it got me into buying more makeup. I wanted to get the MAC #109 brush from my counter but they were out so I ordered online and it got here in less than a week. I also ordered the upstarts:well prepared set. I am in love with the base and the translucent powder. and it comes with a travel size fix + and cleanse off oil which is just tooo cute.
I originally only ordered one Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion but I guess the sender didnt know she had already sent me one and sent another. Yay me!
I also purchased from J. Rose's blog sale and got the two blush pans. L-R: Frankly Scarlet & Dame.
MAC #109 brush. Perfect for putting on liquid foundies. I love it!
And I know you all know who this package is from...aside from the title, its always wrapped with love, care and its very KAWAII. Its from Eki! She's the sweetest, I won her November customer appreciation giveaway! And im surprised coz I never really expect to win anything... I won the Gucci Envy Me perfume and she sent me some extras tooo.
I love the earrings! And I cant wait to try the mixed berry mask once my brows will allow me! Thank you sooo so so so so much EKI! I love them all!
