OOPS!!! & Brows

Note to self and readers: Never leave your receipts out after a major makeup binge! *Smiles Sweeeeeeeeetly* But, uhhhh...seriously...WTF was I thinking!?!? hah!
.
I got the receipt out of MAAAAJJJOOOORR lockdown to "quickly" check if the artist's name from the other day was on it. I've made it a habit of always emailing the stores post-makeover and to give props to chicas who hook me up with some sweet shades, tools and tips. I do this because I know most retail stores base raises and promotions on customer feedback and unfortunately it's usually the crazy/b**chy customers that call or write in.
.
Anyway, I apparently FORGOT to re-bury it in the backyard under a two-ton pile of bricks because the husb found it! Yikes! :) Good thing he loves me so much :) He did take the opportunity to remind I'll be working until I'm 110. Oh well, at least I'll have product. :)
.
So, I forgot to mention something awesome I bought at MAC! I'm notorious for skipping the VERY IMPORTANT makeup step: BROWS. It's just not my bag, baby. I don't like doing anything with my brows (meaning product)...yet I agree it rocks when makeover chicas fix mine all cute (this means they need product). I have tried brow pencils = hate. Then Laura Mercier Brow Definer ($20) with Laura Mercier Brow Definer Brush ($25). It = okay. I generally like stuff in pots and I reallllllly like brushes so it seemed like a good fit on purchase day. Then I figured out this stuff is actually still a lot of work, so I skip it 97% of the time and later remember I forgot it. Damn.

Anyhow, the MAC chica hooked me up with this stuff and so far, I'm in love.

MAC Brow Set ($13.50). It is seriously so easy and so fast to use. It looks just like a masacara brush so you just brush it on your eyebrows. How easy is this? I can't mess it up like a pencil and it's not a pain in the @$$ like the Laura stuff. And it looks freakin' bueno. Now that I've said this, you can scroll down and tell my brows are totally rockin' in the pic from the other day...no? Brow set, baby!

This brings me to a very important point: please do as I suggest :) not as I do :) Just because I admitted to skipping the brows doesn't mean you should do this, too. Defining the brows makes your eyes look wayyy bigger and wayyy happier! Noooooooo longer pluck your brows to thin lil' lines of nothingness (let your brow girl do ALL of it - no plucky plucky in between!) and definitely don't forget to define them (esp. if anyone is going to take pics of ya and post them on Facebook). And seriously this stuff is $13.50. What a deal. :) :) :)

If you live in the QC, please see Emily at Exotic Escape Day Spa in Northpark because seriously she's the best brow shaper ever! :)

Love you gals!! Until next time, "blame it on the rain..."
