Brow Rehab: Meet the Rehab-ers!

Last month, I asked three brave Beauty & the Blog readers to enter Brow Rehab and sent them each an Anastasia Tweezers Anonymous Brow Kit to start the recovery process. In the name of healthy brows, the tweezing addicts have decided to come clean about their over-plucking past. Meet the rehab-ers!

"Hi, My name is Cinthia, and I'm a tweeze-a-holic. I was born with beautiful, full eyebrows, with a little unibrow (hated it), but now I want to go back to those days! My eyebrows are so thin, and everytime I look at magazines/Sephora models, I crave those full, beautiful eyebrows that they have. I pluck and pluck but never seem to find the shape that is right for me. I need Anastasia to lead me to the eyebrow heavens and teach me to shape my eyebrows in the best way to flatter my face. Please help me reach eyebrow nirvana!"

"I fell prey to the magnifying mirror. At 10x magnification, I thought I could make my brows perfect. Naturally full, I just wanted to fix the arch. My left brow, outer edge… it was always just a little off. Just a little. So I took tweezers to it, florescent-light highlighting every hair in the 10x reflection mirror. Pluck. Pluck. Pluckpluckpluckpluckpluck! I stopped, flipped the mirror over to get the view of my newly perfected brow, and then I saw… I had completely over plucked my arch! Now I have two mismatching brows. I don’t want to pluck the other to match because it’s too skinny for my taste. I could use this SO bad! The Brow Enhancing Serum could help me grow in the bald spot and, in the meantime, use the Duo Brow Wand to make my eyebrows symmetrical."

"I am not only tweezer-happy, but I admit to purchasing the electronic handheld mini-shaver with the eyebrow attachment, so I could nick every little unwanted browhair in sight. I should have stuck to the tweezer, because at least I could target the individual hairs. But no, the idea of tweezing my hair so quickly fed my addiction, and there I was about 20 seconds later with half my eyebrow cut off. Keep in mind that this was all in high school. So for the next couple of weeks I drew on the little sucker. Well since I was lacking on one side of my brow, I had to even out the other side, so I tweezed away until the whole thing was even in width. I ended up with an eyebrow as thin as a thick piece of thread. Although I am now a freshman in college, my brows are my worst facial feature. To top it all off, my eyes are huge. I have never seen celebrities or models with the shape of eyes like mine so I left my eyebrow shape up to my imagination. I have no clue how to shape my brows or stop myself from tweezing the life out of them, because I convince myself that the next little pluck will produce the perfectly shaped eyebrow. Yes..I think its time to get help."

Stay tuned! I'll be posting updates on their paths to plucking recovery soon!
