Such a little thing.

"Such a little thing..."

My trip to the threading bar.

Yes, I know it's Movember. I'd love to be a mo sista, but my pride lets me down. I just cannot leave my upper lip lined with downy blonde hair that people assure me they can't see. A side effect of PCOS that drives me to the biggest Tesco in Europe of a Thursday to get my facial hair threaded. Great fun. I've started something here, the first time I had it done. I have to get myself in to a trance like state in the middle of a busy supermarket. Is a supermarket salon is a step up from a shopping centre or the window of a Superdrug? I'm not too sure. Halfway through when I am on the verge of feinting I have to drag myself back from the brink. I always consider walking out after one eyebrow now it happens right before she tells me she is done. 

I just love the benefits of threading. I don't so much love the pain. Next time I think I'll have ten pots of porridge and a sugary tea to deal with the kind of shock my body goes through when being errrr threaded? Such a little thing, but it makes such a huge difference to my make up and face. 

I have heard them be described as HD eyebrows as '"it's what the celebs do when they are going to be on high definition TV."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     So I googled 'scousebrow' and images of Kate Middleton appear. See, classy? Refined? 









































 I like to call them my HD scousebrows. I absolutely love it when thick heavy eyebrows are on trend. So therefore I like mine thick and groomed and full of colour. 

Can you imagine how mortified I was to discover that the ummm threadist had taken pretty much all of my brows except for a tiny line? Well, very is the answer. Thankfully I have an amazing product to help me colour them in on a daily basis. 

You can't mention brows without mentioning Benefit's amazing browzings. If I am going for a more dramatic look I will always use the pigmented wax separately; defining the shape. Then I use the lighter powder to keep them all in perfect nick ALL DAY! If i'm in a rush I tend to use the wax and powder all at once and it also does the trick and lasts for ages.

There are three different shades to choose from. As I have red hair I chose the medium variant and I love how rich the colour is. The hard angle brush and smooth wax consistency makes the product gilde on without leaving a heavy residue. Gone are the days of clear mascara or vaseline to hold the enormous brows in shape. 

Thing is, now that I have started threading, I'm just going to have to carry on. I could never go back to plucking, tweezers are evil and it makes the hair grow thicker. After an unsightly rash on my top lip after using a depilatory cream I couldn't bring myself to buy another. So that is how I ended up sitting in the middle of a supermarket on a Thursday evening, well in the zone.A month of psyching myself up for the next round in the threading ring.

Still, they help me pull a good non impressed Morrissey face.
