// PR Sample //
Do you know my numero uno pet peeve? ungroomed eyebrows. A hectic schedule is no excuse to let your brows grow like Hercules. Stray, bushy, that ain’t fab sissy!
I had the opportunity to try a grooming kit (tweezers and nail scissors) from ArteStile, a Canadian based company founded in 2009. All their grooming products are handcrafted in Italy with the finest grade stainless steel. Their patented enamel finish provides an easy grip in-hand feel.
The sample I received is from the Hugs and Kisses collection. For reference, the tweezer and nail scissors retail for $24.97 each.
I don’t read label so forgive my naivety, I thought the scissors were meant for eyebrows, haha! Anyways, it cuts long stray hairs just the same so it’s no big deal for moi. But in comparison to traditional clippers, my nails have smoother edge when I use these scissors.
The tweezers have slanted tip. They are hand-filed and perfectly aligned to tweeze the finest of hairs. They are chrome, lead and nickel free so the chances of irritation are almost nil.
One of the most common question I get from friends and readers is how to groom eyebrows. I have written here and here but in a nutshell, my techniques are no rocket science.
1. I have oval- shaped face so a soft angled brow suits me best. Again, here’s a post to determine which eyebrow shape is right for you.
2. Tweeze stray hairs; pluck on the direction of hair growth, never against it.
3. Shape your eyebrows and fill sparse hair with eyeshadow or brow liner. I’m partial to brown eyeshadow as it looks more natural.
4. Brush eyebrows with a clear gel mascara to hold hairs in place.
Of course, you can never have too many tweezers! PR folks from ArteStile is giving away this Buttercup kit (tweezer + nail scissors, $40 retail value) to one lucky TheFabZilla subscriber!
