Brows by Elke Von Freudenberg

One of the things I def wanted to do in NYC was to go see the fab “Eyebrow Specialist” Elke Von Fruedenberg. I had been trying to coordinate my trips with her bi-coastal schedule and was lucky enough to get an appointment for this trip on Saturday morning. So, before I went, I took a “before” pic of my brows:

And this is how great they looked afterwards: after eyebrows Brows by Elke Von Freudenberg She told me that I had great shape, that my arch was in the right place, but that she wanted to just “sharpen them up a bit”. I was all for it and I think the results are great. (*the makeup is after my appt at Saks for the D&G Makeup launch – def more about that later.)

And here I am with the lovely lady herself: Brows by Elke Von Freudenberg She was super generous with her time – even after my epic address FAIL! She does brows a neat way – she put on her super magnifying reader glasses and has you *sit up* in front of her, not laying down. She says this way she sees how your face falls naturally and can better shape your brows to fit your face this way. The didn’t use any wax or threading on me. Just pluck plucked me neat with her tweezers. (*Neat tidbit – when I asked her who her most famous person she had met – get this – Oprah! Yep. She was doing the makeup for one of O’s friends, and next thing you know O walks in. Crazy world, eh?). I didn’t have any leftover redness, like after waxing, so I was able to keep on trucking on with my day.

Oh, in addition to doing brows all over the place, Elke also has a brow product line called Elke: The Brow Collection that has all kinds of brow shadows, brow pencils, and her “Clear Eyebrow Ware”, which acts like a brow gel, but without the crunchy/flaking. She also let me in on what she has upcoming – which will be amazing for lovelies trying to grow their brows out – but I won’t spill any more than that – I’ll let her share when she is ready.

Like I said, she is bi-coastal, but take a look at her calendar and schedule an appointment when she is on your coast. You won’t be sorry.

So, what did *you* do this week?

Hello, Lovelies!

I am back to the usual grind in OKC now, as I have just gotten back from a fabulous trip to this little hidden gem of a town on the east coast, New York City. Maybe you have heard of it?

I’m going to start posting up my adventures, in the chronological order that I did them. (*if you follow my twitter stream you know when/what I was doing, but this will def give more details to that. I’m also going to be posting pics and videos to my Facebook page, that I don’t post up here, so take a gander over there, too.

I also want to give a big THANK YOU! and HI! to all the lovely people I had a chance to meet on my trip – it def made it worthwhile.

Broadway bound….or at least that general area

Hiya Lovelies!

I may have mentioned this, but I will again, in case you didn’t know – I’m going to NYC this weekend. Heck, as I type this, I am enjoying a beautiful NYC night thru the windows. (Making my 2hr delay on the Dallas runway due to “weather conditions at LGA” even more suspect. *sigh*)

Annnnyway – I am so excited to be here and to do all of the great things I have lined up. Like, getting my brows done by Eyebrow Specialist Elke Von Freudenberg, a facial at Mario Badescu, a custom bra fitting by Linda the Bra Lady, attending The Makeup Show and getting my makeup done (and checking out the new dolce & gabbana makeup) by a little known artist named Pat McGrath – I am hoping she does a fine job. icon wink Broadway bound....or at least that general area

In addition to these things, getting to meet some of the loveliest beauty bloggers out there face to face. I can’t wait to put faces with the names and blogs that I enjoy so much.

I am hoping to take lots of pics & vids and just annoy you guys with well deserved jealousy on your part by posting them for your (and my) enjoyment! And you *know* that I will be posting in almost real time on my twitter account, if you care to be annoyed by me even quicker. I have a feeling I will get a tad overwhelming – just an fyi and apology up front for that.

I am so excited to be here!
