Do you love how scary I look?

3 Beth February 22, 2011 at 1:54 pm

so much that I didn’t even spell your name right.

4 Allison February 22, 2011 at 1:55 pm

HA!

5 Natalie February 22, 2011 at 3:59 pm

That was just pure entertainment. :) Thanks for the tip about where to get the wax.

6 Allison February 22, 2011 at 4:01 pm

Oh boy. Happy to help your Tuesday go a little better.

7 luz February 22, 2011 at 4:52 pm

Wow, thanks. I enjoyed watching the video. :) now to go wax my eyebrows.

8 Allison February 22, 2011 at 4:56 pm

Thanks Luz. It’s a good reminder for me too, mine are fuzzy!

9 Amy @ IncreasinglyDomestic February 22, 2011 at 4:57 pm

I love you right now! I don’t have extra money to get my eyebrows waxed and so just tweeze. I never thought of doing it myself! Thank you so much:) Now I am off to send this to every woman I know.

10 Allison February 22, 2011 at 5:12 pm

Amy, you can not only do it, you will save all your pocket change in the process! This wax has lasted me for YEARS.

Lady, you’re awesome. :D

12 Allison February 22, 2011 at 5:12 pm

Lady, you’re sweet. Thank you!

13 JenB February 22, 2011 at 5:27 pm

I have been doing mine at home for years as well. Occasionally I indulge in a professional shaping if I gave let things go a little wild. Like right now :-) . You are adorable.

14 Allison February 22, 2011 at 5:33 pm

Mine are out of control as we speak. It’s giving me the urge to go do it right this second.

I too get the occasional professional splurge. Occasional being the operative word.

Oh you crazy lady…..how do I love this?? But forget those brows, can we talk about YOUR NAILS? How cute and sassy?? What color is that, may I ask??

smooches from san francisco!

That would be O.P.I. Pink Flamenco. Love.

I miss you!

17 lorchick February 22, 2011 at 10:07 pm

I was wondering about the nail color too, ha. Yum.
I have kindof sparse eyebrows to begin with, I have to bulk mine up with makeup, but of course as time goes on a few hairs like to wander off to live random places on my browbone. Maybe I should wax them myself. I’d be terrified of overdoing it though. I don’t want to look like a stripper D:

18 Allison February 23, 2011 at 10:56 am

Me and the O.P.I. go waaaaay back. {wink}

I’ve overdone it a few times, believe you me, but it’s so much easier than people think.

19 Sarah February 22, 2011 at 10:07 pm

Wow, you make this look so easy. Is it reeeally that easy?
With all of your fab beauty tips, it really is a wonder I am not more beautiful, huh.

20 Allison February 23, 2011 at 10:57 am

It really is Sarah, I promise. So much easier than anyone believes.

21 Aimee Giese | Greeblemonkey February 22, 2011 at 10:09 pm

holy moly girl. How about next time I see you, you just do it for me???

22 Allison February 23, 2011 at 10:57 am

You don’t want to dare me. I’ll bring my tub of wax to EVO and I can do it in my hotel room.

Deal?

23 Kammy February 23, 2011 at 2:15 am

I am very curious as to what kind of wax you mean in “a tub of wax”. Could you please let me know so that I can give this a try? Thanks!

24 Allison February 23, 2011 at 10:59 am

Kammy, I’ve updated the post with a link on the “Tub of Wax” so you can see exactly what kind I buy at Sally Beauty Supply. My tub has lasted a couple of years and I’m not anywhere near being done with it.

25 Alma February 23, 2011 at 10:53 am

I’m not convinced. I love my tweezers. It takes no time to maintain my eyebrows every day (although I saw myself in the mirror last night and realized—whoops!—I have let a few days slip past!). My BIG QUESTION for waxing eyebrows and any waxing in general, is, don’t you have to let things get WAY OUT OF CONTROL before doing it so that the wax has something to pull? I just feel that with tweezing, I can get the super little guys before anyone really sees them, instead of getting all bushy before getting my shape back. Is that true?

(AND? I laughed out loud EVERY time you yanked the strip. WONDERFUL!)

26 Allison February 23, 2011 at 11:00 am

You should be. Waxing lasts forever. When I do my eyebrows I can go weeks and weeks before doing anything more than tweeze a stray hair or two. You don’t have to let them get out of control, just enough to grab a little.

I’m happy my pain is your entertainment.

27 Marie February 24, 2011 at 9:58 am

Haha!! I love watching your rip! So funny with your wince!!

I might have you do this one me. I don’t think I could do it myself, so let’s have a wax party!!

28 Allison February 25, 2011 at 3:40 pm

I’ll do it for you, and then you’ll be a total believer, I swear it.

29 Arianne February 25, 2011 at 1:15 pm

You’ve totally inspired me. <3

30 Allison February 25, 2011 at 3:40 pm

Yay and hooray, you can totally do this Ari!

31 Erin Oltmanns February 25, 2011 at 3:32 pm

I could be convince to go through the act of waxing, but should not be trusted to shape my own brows. Remember when I accidently tweezed off a 1/3 of my eyebrow before Alt last year? I do. GOOD TIMES.

32 Allison February 25, 2011 at 3:45 pm

I do remember actually. And I’ll be honest, I’ve had moments where I waxed off half my eyebrows. But they grow back, they do!

33 Mandi March 8, 2011 at 5:51 pm

Excellent video, Allison. Really, I’m impressed!
