My brow routine - A quick Everyday Eyebrow Makeup Tutorial in 5 mins or less

Quick Tip Tuesday - unruly brows!

Here is  a quick 5 min beauty tip that I use and think you'll love.
If you've seen my blog before you know that I am more than a just a little obsessed, with Lastics Shave Soap.
But check this out...you'll never believe how I use it today!

Here's my routine.

You will need

1. A brow brush - the ones I use are either

  • Ve's Favorite Brushes - Slant Tip

  •  Nars #5 brow brush.

 2. A brow pencil
  • I don't spend big money on this, the one I'm using for this video is from Daiso (it's $1.50 and I love it!)
 3. A brow powder

  •  I am using Senna's brow palette because I want to use 2-3 colors so it looks natural and not one dimensional
 4. A spooly or a toothbrush
  • to brush them into place and      



5. Here's the kicker, instead of brow gel, I use my Shave Soap from Lastics
  •  it holds them in place without feeling crunchy (plus it smells ahhhhmazing!)












6. A brow highlighter  (optional)

  • to clean up and sharpen your edges - I'm using Anastasia Matte Highlighter Crayon in Camille



How To-



 First brush your brows up,with your toothbrush or spooly.
 Use the brow pencil to fill in any gaps, using quick little strokes to mimic the hairs.
Then go over the pencil using your brow powder.

Then brush your brows downward using the spooly or toothbrush, and do the same process for the top of your brows.

You want to remember to use a light hand on the beginning of your brows, the concentration of  product should be in the arch, which will bring the eye upward, otherwise it just looks unnatural &  heavy.(or in my case sinister-haha)
Once you're all filled in, take your spooly or toothbrush, slightly dampen it, and run it over the shave soap until you pick up enough product and brush your brows into place.
In about a minute, when this dries, you will have natural looking brows that stay in place all day!

And there you have it- My five minute brow routine!
Sounds a little crazy but it works.
Try it!

Do you have any weird little hacks or products you use a little unconventionally?
I'd love to know, tell me about them in the comments below.

And if you enjoyed this quick tip, I hope you'll subscribe and share!
 Thanks!

The long awaited post about THE MAKEUP SHOW !

I know, I know,..... it's been forever since my last post, and I could make excuses and say " a cross country move, a breakup, another move, (not necessarily in that order)...sometimes life gets in the way"..... but truth be told, I got sooooo much loot at the makeup show that I wanted to be able to actually use it, and not just on myself, but on my clients, so that when I spoke to you about it, I'd actually have something to say. So without further adieu, I give you ..... The Makeup Show LA Bloggger Bag There was so much in this "goodie bag" that I almost don't know where to start.  I have a few favorites that I could go on and on about so I'll leave those for last. I will say this, there are some things that I selfishly will keep in my own makeup bag that my pro-kit will never know about!!! ***to purchase all these products, just click on the underlined links below*** First up Model in a Bottle, @ModelinaBottle One of my friend Step...

The Real (bend and) Scoop on Sticky Bras

When I mention the term "Strapless Sticky Bra", what visual comes to mind? Is it two beige yarmulkes stuck to your boobs? Or for those of you above a B cup is it sad Mickey Mouse ears, or a subsequent collapse of support?  When I bought the Yale Stuart Strapless sticky bra to review, I already had a preconceived notion in my head that it wouldn’t work. I have natural 34C boobs. I emphasize "natural" because I don’t have a gravity defying boob job, like most of the models advertising this type of product. My boobs are still perky for someone my age, one of the advantages of not having a child and breast-feeding, but regardless I’m not brave enough to go "commando" in a strappy sundress. So when I tell you I put this baby to the test, believe me! I wore this under my spaghetti strap dress and went out dancing in the Florida heat and humidity. Surprisingly, it passed the boogie down test with minimal jiggle and no slippage. After about three hours of shaki...

This is how I bring a little bit of Brooklyn to Austin

This is how I bring a little bit of my hometown, Brooklyn, to my new home in Austin. I've partnered with PHOTOWALL and picked out a beautiful 40x60 Canvas Print of the Brooklyn Bridge. I picked out my design and 3 days later my print arrived! The box contained everything I needed to assemble the canvas print: canvas cloth, frame sections, corner plates with screws and instructions. After I laid the images face down on the floor, all I needed to do was press the pre-taped wooden frame sections onto the  sides of the canvas. Once the frame sections are in place, you have to fold the wooden pieces in towards one another, place the metal corner plates in corners and inster all the screws and tighten them. The whole process took about an hour and a half from start to finish. and this is the finished product What do you think?  Photowall's website is amazing! Seriously, the longest part of this was making my decision of which print to get because I  wanted it all! They have ev...
