Best Brows I've Had!: Christi Harris Precision Brow Planning System....

Thursday, September 02, 2010

If you have been following me for awhile, you have witnessed all the products I've used for my brows...from pencils to powders. You've seen what I've done to my brows too, waxing, plunking, razoring, threading, you name it!!!

For my brows, I've found that 'kits' work best. The ones that have the powder, the brush, maybe a wax or a clear brow gel.

Christi Harris Precision Brow Planning System seems like a perfect choice.Everything I needed in a kit!
The Kit includes:

  • • Precision Brow Planer
  • • Adda Brow
  • • Color Blend Trio
  • • Duo Diffuser
  • • Five Professional Quality Brushes
  • • Christi's Plane Truth About Brows book
Plus:

Lift-N-Lite Brow Highlighter and Seal-N-Shine

Now take 2 Minutes...JUST TWO :)) and watch this video...it explains it all....




On the left you see my completed Christi Harris brow.

This is the very first time I used it in this picture and it was close to perfect. The kit gave me that sculpted look I love without being crazy harsh. Here's my take on the kits pieces....

  • Precision Brow Planer - This thing is SHARP. I can use a razor to clean my brows, especially with those razors from the BSS, but this one is on another level from those. Its sharp so be careful.I got nicks from it as you can see in the picture above. Its does the job though and the handle on it gives you a better grip better balance when shaping. I would buy 10 of these though, just like I do those cheap ones at the BSS!

  • • Adda Brow - Actually works! I have sparse areas in my brows and I did as the instructions said and added the Adda Brow before the color and it did fill them out with out so much color to use.


  • • Color Blend Trio- the dark brown of the kit is my perfect match HANDS DOWN.

  • • Duo Diffuser -I didn't used this much. But the colors are beautiful eyeshadow colors for a neutral look (FOTD with the shadows coming soon!!)

  • BONUS Five Professional Quality Brushes -Its actually two duo brushes and one brush. I like all of them. The angle brush is thin and stiff so can you sculpt that brow! The contour brush is amazing high quality blending brush. Its had become part of my daily brush "crew". lol

  • • Christi's Plane Truth About Brows Book- I flipped thru it but found the video more helpful. Blame my attention span on that.:(

Lift-N- Lite- the formula is bit thick but when applied before you do the brow, its a good highlighter. Its like a cream shadow with a doe foot applicator


Seal-N-Shine- I've never used anything like it. I held my brows for maybe a couple of hours but they eventually wore away. I touch my face frequently though, so I was being counteractive to the product.


If you are starter in makeup and brows, this is a great kit. It gives you the tools you need for the look. You could even use this if you get your brows waxed or threaded. The tools in it are great for your brows.

For the 'experts' and beauty addicts, its everything you need in one place. No, having to lay this brush out and search for you brow powder, find you concealer, etc.....everything is in the box!

Glam Grub: Village Tea Company....

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

Coffee or Tea?

Both for me!! LOL!

I love coffee and I love tea, so trying out Village Tea Company was the perfect excuse to get 'tea wasted' for awhile.:)



My favorite out of the teas was Sweet Grace Vanilla Rooibos, a fragrant bit of heaven. The vanilla is perfect with the rooibos and perfect for any time of day. I added a bit of cream and sugar and it was divine. The full size teas come with 50 filter bags to craft you own tea bag. Perfect when I want my drink to be bit 'heavy'. The mobile teapot is fantastic for on the go. I haven't quite got the the loose tea and filter part right, though. I think I suppose to heat the water, put the loose tea in and then strain it through, I think. Its safe to say, I'm not Go-Go-Gadget Jamie! lol!

Review and Giveaway: Joy of Soap!!!

Wednesday, August 25, 2010

If you like to be clean raise your hand!!! ( I can see youuuuu.....lol)

Well, If you like to be clean The Joy of Soap is where it is at! The Joy of Soap is a company that stands on their Green Practices and provides moisturizing, organic, natural soaps and other products. They are made of sustainable ingredients and fine craftsmanship.


I love naturally made soaps and have tried a few, but Joy of Soap soaps are impressive. Firs,t they solidly made. I've had natural soaps in the past that fall apart when you get them. They also are moisturizing which some natural soaps don't provide that extra softness.


I tried Lay Me Down Lavender and Two in the Shower Tea Tree. I like the natural, authentic scent of the lavender bar. I've used it for a month and it still has most of its original size, too....
Two in the Shower Tea Tree is great for problem body skin such as acne.I have shoulder and chest body acne and notice when I used this, it stayed away.:)

Green Glam: Seventh Generation....Part One...


I'll admit, as big a fashion junkie that I am, I wear the same clothing over and over. My palette of colors are basic: black, white, grey, and cream.This Fall ,I'll be throwing the demin back in ( wayyy too hot to wear jeans here this summer) .So, I like to take care my clothes and my kids' clothes, which where all the money for clothes goes!



The 2X Concentrated Laundry Liquid got some of worst stains( like marker stains and dirty socks) clean despite the small amount you used for a full load. I'm so use to using so much detergent,I was nervous that things would not come clean with a small amount! They did. Same with the Chlorine Free Bleach.I believe in bleach for my and the kids' whites. Worked great!

The Fabric Softener is actually a paper sheet with the softener on it. Its very scented on the sheet but the scent doesn't stick to the clothes which I like. So if you are a' scented' fabric softener person, this would not be your product but on the other hand, the product is neat. After the clothes are dry the sheet comes out as a ball of paper that are compostable and great for the environment.

The Bathroom Tissue wasn't really any different that your basic bathroom tissue. I normally use the softest there is in bathroom tissue ( if you see what I'm saying;)lol) which also can be super thick and bad for your septic system. Even though the Bathroom Tissue is thin,it flushes fast and lessens the expected costs of sewer repairs. That's a good enough reason to use it!!


Check out Seventh Generation Online, Twitter, and Facebook! And COUPONS!!!!

And stay tuned for Part II ( especially for the ladies) when I review Seventh Generation feminine products!!!
