[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] I have never looked at my leaves – they are not thin or full, not dirty and not pale – they are probably the most beautiful leaves that anyone can have. and it’s hidden under my nipple so it’s usually uncomfortable. But this week, two brow laminators crossed my path so I put them both through their paces. If you don’t understand the term, ‘lamination’, it’s a process that makes the lashes look fuller and thicker – if you have it in a salon, it can last a few weeks, but if you choose off-the-shelf methods like. the one i have now, is a daily job.
The L’Oreal brand will last 24 hours (absurdly, of course) and is a light gel formula that gives your brows an integrated look and ‘set’. I can feel it right there and when I touch my nipples, there is a slight tingle to them but to the viewer, they just look like polished nipples.
The elf type is very heavy – I was a little put off by the size of the comb and the brush, which is unnecessary for what I now realize are poor strands. It looks more like a mustache comb than a forehead comb, right? Although I also feel it on my forehead, it is softer than the L’Oreal brand when I touch it even though it looks ‘gluey’ on the brush.
If I can explain this bad picture – I’m post yoga, I need to shower and wash my hair, not to mention touch up the roots and stuff, and the humidity starts again. Basically everything is working against me today – argh! But, a small piece of pea hair saved me from leaving in 2015 when there was a temporary craze for them in China so I bought them. The New York Times also did some of them so at that time, I had good people. However, they still love me today even though I think I have two or three left. So, on the left I have L’Oreal (£11.99 HERE) and on the right I have elf (£8 HERE). They all give me a nice and crisp look to my pages and they all stay in place all day. If you have curly or curly ends, it’s better to have elf because it’s more difficult for the design, but if you have fine hair that just needs to look good, L’Oreal. it will fit you well.
While we’re on the topic of pages, I bought a brow tint the other day and was wondering if I wanted to try it. It looks dark to me though, the next color looks a lot lighter. In any case, I’m thinking of changing my hair and going ‘trendy gray’ because I need to get it ready before the end of the summer so maybe black eyebrows aren’t the way to go. If I do, I commit to five/six weeks!
