If you are like me then you may opt to save a few bucks and pluck your own brows. Lately though, I just can't seem to get them right so I've been going to get them waxed once a month and then I just maintain in between by tweezing them myself. However, I'll be the first to admit that sometimes I'm so focused on shaping and making sure they match perfectly (which of course is impossible)that I tend to overpluck.

- If I had the ability to paint beautiful masterpieces whenever the mood struck me, I would. But... I kinda suck at it. So instead.. I paint my face!!! I love to share what I've tried and what I've learned about cosmetics and skin care products. I'm also a very observant and intuitive person so I like to write what I observe in people, specifically people in relationships. So in the end, this blog is just confession after confession of the things I'm obsessed with- Glamour and Love.

Have you tried threading? The therapists can work with you to get your brows back into apropriate shape that suits your face. Plus the results last so much longer and the technique is much kinder to your skin!
Ya know Lora, I've always wondered about it but I've never actually had it done. I'll have to see who in my area does it. I always heard it was kinda pricey...?
It is a bit more expensive. I live in England so forgive the use of pounds, I would expect to pay about £10 for an eyebrow wax and about £15-17 for a thread. In the long run it is cheaper because I find I can comfortably last about 7-8 weeks without needing another treatment, whereas with waxing I can only last about 4 weeks. Many places also do loyalty cards, I get my 6th thread free, really that's about 1 free a year.. but paying £17 6-7 times a year over £10 12-14 times a year doesn't seem so bad. If you are already in the habit of regular upkeep with tweezing you shouldn't have a problem lasting 8 or more weeks after a good thread. Find someone reputable and experienced, threading is an ancient art.
If you are waxing once a month you should not tweeze in between. Because you need to get all three hair cycles to grow in at once. That way you won't need to tweeze at all. They will grow in at four weeks right before your waxing appt. It takes awhile to train them though.
Gracias for the tip, Brit! I never realized you could train your brows like that. Sounds like you have to plan to look a mess until you get to that point though! Eek! lol Ah well! I would looove to not have to tweeze and only wax once a month.
