Let’s face it waxing can be a drag. It’s not the pain that gets me — I actually enjoy that part — it’s everything leading up the waxing that is painful. Finding the time in the day to schedule an appointment, driving across town to go to the salon, and don’t even get me started on the money. So it’s always nice to have a cheaper at home alternative to getting lovely brows.At home eyebrow grooming can be a dangerous thing without the proper tools. If you aren’t careful you can walk away with uneven and over-plucked brows, which are mistakes that take time to grow back. That is why eyebrow waxer to the stars, Anastasia, has created a line that helps you achieve professional results at home.
I had been eying Anastasia’s products for some time at my local Sephora. The thought of not having to be a slave to the salon was quite appealing. What wasn’t appealing was the price tag on Anastasia’s kit. Her most popular kit for $75 includes; tweezers, brow powder, four brow stencils, duo angle brush, brow gel, and a highlighting pencil. Sure, that seems like a lot of stuff, but what I really wanted was the stencils and a great pair of tweezers.
So today when I opened my Sephora Insider’s email I was delighted to see a brand new limited edition kit from Anastasia for only $45. The kit includes a pair of tweezers, miniature scissors, and four stencils all in an adorable case - perfection.
I tested out the kit this evening and was pleased as punch. Since this kit didn’t have the brow powder, I simply used a bit of white eye shadow and plucked and snipped the areas that weren’t “shadowed”. I will admit I did get a little pluck happy and now have a tiny bald spot, but it was nothing a little brow filler couldn’t fix.
Practice definitely makes perfect with any at home brow grooming, but I do believe that this will help cut down on my visits to the salon.
