HD Brows

I was a bit sceptical when I first got my HD brows because I was scared that I was going to look like I had “slugs” on my forehead! I used to be a tweezer addict, I literally would just tweeze my eyebrows every night, I didn’t need to but I felt like I had to.

One day after bad waxing, I accidently waxed a bit of my eyebrows off. That was when I decided to get a consultant at my local HD brows shop – Amita Patel. Few of my friends recommended it and I’ve seen their eyebrows as they looked good I decided why not?

I met a lady called Sejal and she pretty much told me not to touch my eyebrows for at least two weeks, it was hard but I got through it. You need to get past a week and a half and then you just think well my eyebrows are too hairy to tweeze and I cannot be bothered.

You can't see much of a difference from the first and second picture, but in the second picture my eyebrows are longer and the arch is more natural. I have had two treatments so far and let me tell you I do not regret it one bit! I do recommend that you go to a proper place to get HD brows done. I pay £30 every time but it’s worth the price. After my first treatment I went out to buy an eyebrow pallet by MUA (I will review this later). These just helped me fill out my eyebrows whilst it was still growing out. Now I’m the stage where I just get a tidy and I don’t even have to use the pallet. I get my eyebrows done once a month now! This took me two months to get my eyebrows to the stage it’s at, but it may take longer for some people! 

There are 7 steps to achieve HD brows;

1. The initial consultant - involves skin test 
2. Tinting 
3. Waxing - to create the shape 
4. Trimming 
5. Threading
6. Tweezing 
7. Finish - soothing lotion is used

As you can see my eyebrows are definately HD and more defined. A lot better than what it was before I had my first treatment. 

Have you tried HD brows? What did you think?

What's in my make-up bag - Handbag edition

HANDBAG EDITION: 

I have seen a few of these going around and I thought I would do “what’s in my make-up bag, the handbag edition”

I used to have a big bag so I literally used to take everything with me. I came to my senses finally and I knew I was being ridiculous. Who needs that much make-up during the day?! Now I only carry the essentials!

I carry it in my No 7 clear make-up bag; it’s just the right size to fit in my bag and fits all my make-up in.

Clinique Superpowder – I usually re-apply when I get a bit shinny during the day

Clean and Clear Oil Control Film – I use this before re-applying powder to absorb excess oil so it doesn’t clog up my pores when I re-apply my powder.

Powder brush- when I went to university I’ve lost all my other brushes and I have just stuck with this one since.

Compact mirror

Clinique chubby stick- for some extra colour

Vaseline

Max Factor Clump Defy Mascara

2True eyeliner

BeautyUK eyebrows pencil- recently got HD brows, so these just fills in the gaps.

Gosh Defining Brow Gel- my eyebrows hair grows downwards, so this just helps controls it.

I see some people that carry all their make-up in their bag (including me before I came to my senses) but it just makes you bag extra heavy and you just don’t need all of that!

What’s in your make-up bag? Do you carry everything round with you?
