I had to share one of my new favorite beauty tools...the Ardell Grooming Tools!! These are AWESOME to have on hand in your cosmetics bag or your makeup kit (if you're a makeup artist)! I found mine next to the Ardell False Lashes at CVS Pharmacy, so they are SUPER easy to find AND very inexpensive! I paid $4.99 for mine...but I just checked out the CVS Pharmacy website and they're even on SALE now!!! WHAT??
These are like super mini disposable razors for wherever you might need a little facial hair maintenance...heehee! I like to use mine for the little fuzzies that grow above (and between) my brows that are hard to see and tweeze. I don't like to have my brows waxed and usually maintain my brows with just tweezers, so these tools help get those little fuzzy guys that drive me nuts!! It is just what I needed to get that perfectly defined brow!
Now...this tool is VERY safe - it's not as sharp as a typical razor would be. That's a good thing! But, that means that it's not going to take the place of your tweezers. This tool will not remove the thicker more coarse brows (like the one's under my arch that I tweeze allllll the time).
So don't throw out your tweezers!!! BUT...I love this tool for quick little fuzzy touch ups around the brow (and even lip) area as needed!! Makeup artists...keep these in your kit for quick fixes on the job!! Happy Brow Shaping all!!
xoxo,

I'm excited to share some new pictures of my work from Brittany's Fashion Shoot!! YAY! Thanks to Ann at Ann Steward Photography for some amazing shots!! :) I LOVE HER!!! Brilliant photographer and just plain fun to be around!!! WIN WIN!! More coming soooooon!! :) In these shots, I used a combination of loose eyeshadow pigments from NYX and favorite Estee Lauder eyeshadows! Normally...the last color for eyes that I go for is GREEN! But as soon as I took another look at Brittany's eyes, I knew we had to go green with her eye makeup!! I think it turned out great!! :) We started the shoot with a softer nude lip and finished with a little (only a little) extra something on the lips...hot pink gloss over the nude lip we started with!! Brittany and Ann were so fun to work with!! |
