From the makers of Lilash, the product that gives you longer, thicker, darker lashes, their new product LiBrow has just debuted.  Now you can have the same results for your brows.  With a thicker applicator brush your brows are sure to grow in nice and thick! 

Our lashes take a beating sometimes from the constant use of eyelash curlers, mascara, eyelash perming, fake strip lashes and of course my favorite eyelash extensions. All we want to achieve is long beautiful, thick lashes so chances are we are not giving up any of our lash gear.  What we can do, however, is condition our lashes to keep them strong and healthy with eyelash conditioners that will stimulate eyelash growth, make the lashes thicker as well as darker, like the newest lash product called LASHFOOD.

There are a few companies out there who offer similar products that will stimulate eyelash growth but what I like about LASHFOOD Eyelash Conditioner is that they only use 100% natural ingredients and herbal extracts. I’ve been testing this product to introduce to my clients who wear eyelash extensions and I have to say it’s been exactly two weeks and I can see new growth in my lashes and my brows. Best part is absolutely no irritation. LASHFOOD is water based and goes on clear.  You use it twice a day to start.  Just apply like a liquid liner to the base of the lashes and like i mentioned it works great for brows also.  Definitely a recommended buy for anyone wanting long, luscious, thick lashes with or without eyelash extensions or mascara.  LASHFOOD is not on the market yet but will be available in July for purchase at LASH OUT!

Bushy, beautiful brows… we all want them but some, including myself were not lucky enough to be born with them.  That’s ok, we have the Talika Eyebrow Extender. Not just an ordinary eyebrow pencil this unique gel product has fibers that actually bond to your natural brows making them appear darker, thicker and fuller. Once applied the gel sets in about 4-5 minutes and lasts all day long. Washes off easily with makeup remover.

I’m not sure if alot of you are familiar with threading as a hair removal technique.  But I wanted to mention it because when I was in Esthetician school an Asian classmate turned me onto it.  It was something she had actually taught herself many years ago and after I decided to have my lip hair threaded by her I knew I would never go back to waxing my upper lip again. 

So what is threading and how does it work?  Basically the licensed esthetician or practitioner uses a good length of cotton thread and holds one end in her teeth and the other in one hand. The middle is then looped through the index and middle fingers of the free hand. The loop is the part of the thread that grabs and pulls the unwanted hairs from the skin.  Hair removal is quick and slightly stinging from the hairs being pulled out but very clean.  I had no redness or irritation that you may get from waxing. 

Recommended for upper lip and eyebrows but I’m not sure how well this would work on other parts of the body.  I would probably say to stick with waxing for legs, underarms and other larger areas. Results with threading can also last longer then waxing. 

Pluck, ouch, pluck, ouch… sound familiar during your brow sculpting experience?  A little After Tweeze Soothing Cream by Tweezerman is all you need.  A combination of moisturizers and soothing honey extract will instantly provide some relief to irritated skin.  The After Tweeze Soothing Cream was also awarded the 2007 CEW Beauty Award for Best Eye Treatment under $20 in the Facial Skincare category.

Long beautiful eyelashes and full glamorous eyebrows are not something most of us women were born with but now with the introduction of semi-permanent eyelash extensions there was finally hope.  To take the lash and brow thing one step further there is now also eyelash transplant and eyebrow transplant surgery available.  To give you a quick overview hair follicles are basically taken from the back of your scalp and brought to the eyelash area or eyebrow to be transplanted. This surgery is beneficial to those suffering from Alopecia - which is loss of hair, congenital reasons, disease, plucking or undergoing chemotherapy or radiation.

Since this surgery requires specialized training and expertise only a handful of cosmetic and plastic surgeons are offering this new and popular service alongside their breast surgeries, liposuction and facelifts. 

In Tuscon, Arizona Dr. Mikel Lo has added this unique service to his menu.    To find out more information on eyelash and eyebrow transplants visit Dr. Mikel Lo’s website at www.aboutfacescosmetic.com.

P.S. Regular trimming required.

This is interesting… if you have ever wanted to try permanent makeup for your eyebrows but were too scared… well … because it’s permanent.  Stamp Me Fabulous might be a great alternative to try out for anyone who lacks in the brow department and wants to try a semi-permanent option other then a brow pencil or brush.  The cosmetic eyebrow stamps are worth a try.  There are 13 eyebrow designs, eyebrow inks, powders and brushes to choose from. 

Based on the picture above these are the directions for applying your brow stamp:

1.  Lift the stamp from its base. 2. Restick stamp to the lines 3. Adjust to desired angle and shape. 4. Apply remaining stamp to the back side of the base.

Stamp me Fabulous can be used on freshly cleansed skin or on top of your makeup foundation or powder.  It can also be used on smooth skin and on your natural brows.
