"Oh yes...it's me again" (in my Bobby Brown voice from every ill step)
Hey Beau/Bellas!
It's been a long time coming but I'm back (again) after so long because despite all that is going on in my life, my heart was yearning for my blog. Why the year and a half hiatus you ask? Let's just say I've been quite preoccupied... I'll give you a quick run down.
- Found out I was 4 wks preggers in April 2011
- The pregnancy caused severe hyperemisis from wk 8 through wk 38 which I jokingly refer to as "the twilight zone"(for those of you that don't know what hyperemesis is, stay tuned...)
- Had a beautiful bubbling brown sugar diva on December 5, 2011 named Noelle Shlioh who runs my world
- Moved from Philly to Baltimore in Jan 2012
- Started a new job in VA in Feb
- Was pushed into WMB (Working Mom Bootcamp) too soon...(it ain't no joke!)
...and there you have it. So here I am...this time I will stay consistent :)
Okay so let's get to it. In trying to decide on what to write about first I had a conversation with my good friend. Let's call her Lady T. It went kinda like this:
Me: (with a sad and defeated face)"I need to blog again but I don't know what to write about..."
Lady T: "Well what gets on your nerves?"
Me: "hmmn...there's so many things."
Lady T: "mmhmn, then that is what you should write about!"
Me: "ha! yeah you're right!"
So I am going to sporadically give you my "makeup" pet peeves (and maybe a few non makeup related).
We'll begin with a pet peeve on the top of my list I call, mad "brow" disease.
Don't know what I mean? Here are some examples:
I know, I know...brows can be hard to do, but seriously folks do not try any of these at home!
Here's a quick brow tutorial:
1. Start with a freshly waxed, thredded or plucked brow
2. Use a stiff pencil close to the color of your brows (if your hair is dark use a brown pencil, black is too harsh) like m.a.c's brow pencil in stud.
3. Color in the sparse areas of your brow using light strokes starting at
the beginning of the brow.
4. Fill in through the arch moving towards the end of the brow
5. Blend! using a brow brush, old tooth brush, or a disposable mascara brush
6. Highlight the arch underneath of the brow using a liquid concealer or foundation that is the color of your natural skin tone.
7. Do the same for above the arch of the brow
8. Viola! you've just created a wow brow!
I was once told by a very well known celebrity artist that the brows are the "frame" to your face.
The right frame will compliment a beautiful picture. Get your frame right.
Until next time...
Ciao Bella!

Don't know what I mean? Here are some examples:
The brow too long
The brow too thin
The brow waay too thick
The brow ridiculous!
