The Eyebrow Waxing Products I love!

July 11, 2022

This post is dedicated to the at home eyebrow waxing products I can’t live without! After covid, I made the transition to doing a lot of things at home. I never thought I would wax my own eyebrows but when I had no other optioned, I turned to Amazon.

Amazon had so many products to choose from so I’ll share my favorites with affiliate links! No pressure to purchase but I do love everything I’m about to mention. I will put out the disclaimer that you should go slow & gentle the first time.

Don’t try to create a new eyebrow shape while you’re getting the hang of waxing. Focus on just cleaning up the eyebrow and you won’t make any mistakes!

Wax Kit- Shop Here

This is truly why Amazon is great. I purchased a kit just like this one and it came with everything I needed. From the wax warmer to the pre/post wax spray this has you covered. Kits like these are a great way to start out because everything comes in and you’re able to see how it works for a pretty inexpensive price.

Slanted Tweezers- Shop Here

If you’re trying to pluck your eyebrows with normal tweezers you’re doing it wrong. I love a slanted tweezer to really get those little hairs. This is a true eyebrow essential because you can even pluck mid week when you notice something.

Derma-planing Razor- Shop Here

This is a newer product to my eyebrow regime but I love that this can help to shape them without waxing. The wax makes me nervous sometimes because I can’t control it as well as this. I can use this to really shape the eyebrow with full control. As opposed to wax where you just kind of glob it on and hope for the best.

Scissors- Shop Here

I love a good slanted scissor. I have the longest eyebrow hairs at the top and use the scissors to trim them down. This is always the way I like to finish off my eyebrows because it’s essential for me to keep them all the same size.

Eyebrow Brush- Shop Here

I love to brush out my brows before I trim them and a brush like this is my go to. I like to brush up with the clear side and leave the hair in it. I just trim across that to help keep them even. Brushes like these are even great when you’re just trying to do your makeup.

As you can see, these have become my tried and true eyebrow waxing products. I like to do my eyebrows every 2-2/12 weeks because that’s how fast they grow. Having everything at home makes my life so much easier and in the long run I do end up saving money.

Self Tanning Tips for Winter

February 7, 2022

I always find myself reaching for my self tanner right about now in the winter. My summer glow has faded and I’m seriously reaching for anything that will get me glowing. I’ve made previous posts about self tanning tips like this one here but I’ve actually switched up my products.

I noticed with the previous brand I was using, the ingredients weren’t very clean and one of my resolutions was to make sure my beauty products are. Another thing I noticed was that they changed their formula. This brand I had been using for years and the last time I purchased, then tan had a weird tint and didn’t go on smooth.

No need to fear, I found this brand at Ulta and I seriously fell in love. The Tanologist brand is pretty affordable and it seriously works wonder. I decided to try out the tan water instead of the mouse and honestly, I don’t think I have a preference. The water is harder to use because it goes on clear to not rub off on anything but that makes it hard to know where you put it.

In addition to the water, I also purchased the drops which I soon realized I didn’t actually need. I never used to use self tanner mouse on my face because it would break me out but the water actually doesn’t. The drops are useful though because all you have to do is mix them with your favorite moisturizer. I might try them in the spring when I’m starting to lay out again but want to be tan. Here are some of my self tanning tips for Winter!

Exfoliate

I feel like people will tell you to exfoliate and literally never elaborate on what it actually means. You need to prep your skin to be able to soak in the tan, just like getting your nails done or hair. I like to shave about a day before I tan and then I like to exfoliate in the show right before I tan. This way my skin won’t be super irritated but I’ll get a smooth application.

To exfoliate, I like to use a mild and gentle body wash with a loofa or some sort of exfoliating brush and just gently work it over my skin. Do not go crazy because you don’t want to over exfoliate and throw your skin off.

To take off the tan, you can try this same process about a week later. I always like to tan on Sundays so then I’ll do it again on the next Sunday.

Moisturize

This is one I used to always over look but not anymore. Moisturizing before you tan is so essential to making sure you don’t have any pooling of the tan in places your skin is try. I used to always mess up my knees and elbows because they’d be super dry. Now that I moisturize, the tan glides on and is even.

It’s also super important to continue to moisturize your skin even as the week goes on. The moisturizer will help preserve your tan and keep your skin glowing. I like to use a lighter moisturizer that won’t be too heavy on my skin but still gets the job done. My personal favorite is actually just the mositurizer from CeraVe.

Find What Works

Not gonna lie, this one took awhile. You can try out the products I mentioned and they might not work for your skin type. It takes a bit of testing out to find a product that is affordable for you and that works well. I really like the Tan water because it’s not super sticky and so far hasn’t transferred to any of my clothing.

I do recommend trying out a mouse if you are just starting out because I can see how you might get an uneven tan the first few times you use it. My biggest tip is to find something that you are comfortable and confident using.

I hope these self tanning tips were helpful. I love being a bit tanner in the winter because it seriously just lifts my mood. The weather in New York is often cold and gloomy mid winter so I’ll do anything to make it feel like summer.
