HD Brow v eylur eye brow shapers

HD Brow in a celebrity must have. They all have done! So of course i had to have it done as well. I have unruly eyebrows, uneven and out of shape and it be fair over abused eye brows.

I can't really find a picture of what they looked like after they had been done, but i wasn't really into them as the girl who did them didn't ask me how i wanted them. But before we get to all that, let me tell you what HD brow is and what it involves.

*Eye brow colouring
*Eye brow wax to shape
*Eye brow Threading to get the little annoying hairs
*Eye brow Pluck
*Eye brow fill

I had mine down at Lash and nails in Doncaster. As i say the girl never asked me what i wanted my brows to look like and the Doncaster branch didn't do threading. I had my brows coloured a little darker, but my eye brows are really dark any way so they didn't really need it.
  It was the first time i had ever waxed anything, so i was nervous but she was actually really good at waxing and it was pretty painless, just uncofmy really.
  She spent ages taming the wild eye brows, but i wanted to have a thick ish brow from the inside eye graduating up into a nice high arch, i love high arches and i have the shape for the as well! But she left them too stubby near my inner eye and no graduation out from the thicker part to an arch. Basically there was no shape at all. I didn't like them!
   It has taken a while for them to grow out, so it you get it done well you will be hair free for about 8 weeks, maybe you will just need to pluck away any that decide to show up or that where missed. HD brows, is also meant to show you how to fill in over abused eyebrows and provide a sampler on eye brow filler- i got neither!

Since they have grown out i have trimming my brows down by clipping them with scissors and then i bought down eye brow shapers from Boots. They are Eylur eyebrow shapers and they cost around £2.65. Basically they are wax strips shaped for the top and bottom of your brow and you get a gorgeous arch as well, i have to say i got mine almost even and made my arch a little higher by plucking a a little higher up in the brow.
 
HD brow treatment costs anything between £20-£60
Eylur eyebrow shapers £2.65
slanted tweezers anything from £3 upwards

Try it yourself, i would say or find a salon who maybe cost more than the £20 i paid, i wasn't impressed at all.

Lee Stafford products saved my hair!



Lee Stafford is a celebrity hair dresser and recently the UK's Secret Millionaire on channel 4.  I have a really bad issue with my hair. Like most ladies out there, i tend to over use my flat irons; which then in turn gives split ends and just dry deadness, to be fair.

  • Clear top coat nail polish £1.79 Boyes
  • White nail art pen- part of a collection bought from ebay
  • Elegant touch rapid dry- £3.65 Boots (Avon, Opi, Amazon all sell this stuff)

 I will say what products i used but please feel free to use any nail polish you like, even change the colours if you like, try something new. Be brave!

My nails are in terrible condition. So for me i have to start with a quick buff, I don't do the smooth and shine though, i feel a slightly rough nail holds the polish better.




I started out with a black coat of nail polish, i'm not to fond of this black one as the brush is a bit on the wide side for me; and i find it a touch messy. But it was all I had, so I made do. I advise 2 coats for good coverage.

If you have any feel free to set the black polish with setting spray, especially if the polish you have isn't a dry in 60 seconds.




Cover nail in clear polish and let it go from wet to sticky and then add a gem to each nail, once done paint a thing white line around the top of your nail, let it dry. Seal it all with another coat of clear polish and let dry.










Great party nails, they look great for any occasion. Enjoy

Ok so this is a very simply look I tried on –yesterday actually- but I’m still not quiet at the look that I want, I have to say I have very bad light in the bathroom and it’s about the only mirror I got in the house. I was inspired by the comeback pictures of the Wonder Girls, a South Korean girl band, but I’m not there yet, it looks different, so I will have to try again some other day. I did have fun doing the make, I spent an hour in the bathroom, I can not see me do that every day lol.
