Anastasia - Eyebrows & Matte Lips

Whether scarce or bushy, V-shaped or comma shaped, 
eyebrows create the focal point of your overall look.  

Even if you have full youthful brows, shaping them can change your face for the better, framing it to enhance your features and create a more pulled together look!  I tried eyebrow powder and gel in the past, and got back into pencil over the past year or so.  As far as pencils, my favorite that stays put all day is the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow wiz, but wait, there's more.

After careful consideration, I purchased the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade.  I want to add in that I mainlyuse drug store makeup, and I'm not a makeup collector, nor do I dabble in experimenting with the latest and greatest products released.  I honestly could never keep up if I tried!  I just use what I like, and stick to it.  That being said, this purchase was a game changer, as in for my game face!

In the beginning I liked it okay, but now that I know to overdraw the top line, my brows are on point all day and all night! Holla!  I chose the shade Blonde, and I can create either a rounded look, or sharper sleeker look, darkening the outer edge as well.  The Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade is not like the shadow gel combination sets I have tried either.  I use my own brush, and it's so precise.  It glides on just enough, but not too much that it's easy to smudge and make a mistake.  I go from looking like I just woke up to ready for a night on the town or a day at the office in a few brush strokes!

I want to state that my eyebrows are shaped completely different, one is straighter, and starts at a different point above my eye, whereas the other has a higher point and starts further in.  This is why I avoid waxing.  Ah!  What's a girl to do?  To master a closely matching set, I use Anastatsia's Dip Brow Pomade, and shade from light to dark, the darkest point being the outer edges.  Shaped brows can make the eyes appear more open, larger, and awake!

No one ever asks me what I use on my brows, they just comment how good they look! I purchased this at Ulta, and had to wait because the color 'blonde' was never in stock once first released, but it can be purchased online as well.

Anastasia and Claudia just released a line of liquid lipsticks!

19 colors have been released, with the 20th color Bambi releasing any day now!
They glide on like a highly pigmented liquid lipstick with a lip gloss applicator, but dry fully matte, for extra long wear!  They have a color that suits every skin tone and style preference.  I don't buy many new lipsticks I want, because I end up with so many I don't use, but I cannot wait to try these!  I'm already loyal to the brand based on their eyebrow products, so they've won my trust.  Although I love many of the swatches I see, and the formula is probably amazing, I have so many similar shades that the colors I want most are Milkshake, Pure Hollywood, Lovely, and Bambi!
