Jennifer Lopez usually looks flawless, but this picture left me wondering – “what was she thinking?”  Why would you pick such a horrible color to fill in your brows?  Maybe she was trying to match her brows with her hair?  I’m not sure what the goal was here, but I don’t think she pulled it off.  Choosing a color closer to your natural shade might have been a better choice!

Here is Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony at the Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2009 women’s collection fashion show.  Also pictured, Matthew McConaughey and Camilla Alves.

Well, miss Jenny From the Block, I have the PERFECT brow filler for you!  If you’re like me, you might have a couple thin area’s in your brows.  The perfect filler – is Anastasia’s Brow Filler.  It’s absolutely wonderful!

Anastasia’s Brow Filler a spring loaded powder tipped sponge duo for eyebrows.

The unique powder formula is designed to be slightly damp so that it can adhere to the skin, versus brow hair allowing one to build color only where it is needed.

Brow Filler offers blonde on one end and brunette on the other, allowing you to use one side or blend both shades for a customized color match.

I’ve recently fallen in love with everything Anastasia.  Their eyebrow products are unparalleled, and in my opinion – each one of you should have at least one of their products.  I was recently sent a product to review, and I instantly fell in love with it!  It combines two of my favorite products into one! 

Go here to see past reviews on Anastasia products.

I think my all-time-favorite Anastasia product, is the new Brow Duality.

Brow Duality is designed for those who want the best of both worlds…Anastasia has married her customer favorites into one!  Pencil featuring matte highlighter on one end and shimmer highlighter on the other.  Bring subtle focus to the brow bone.  Use the Matte side during the day to create a soft highlight.  For those nights on the town, use the Shimmer side to give your eyes that soft satiny glow!

Features:

• Versatile cream to powder formula
• Silky – perfectly lightweight
• Enriched with vitamin E
• Light diffusing pigments even out skin tone

If you don’t own this product, you definitely should.  This is a MUST HAVE for your makeup bag!

This product has not been released yet.  It will make it’s debut on 10/23/08 – so mark your calendars!

I have fallen in love with almost every Anastasia product I’ve tried.  I was sent a big package full of their products, and over the last several weeks I’ve been playing around with all of them.  So much fun!

One of the products that I’ve found myself using more than just about all of them, is Anastasia’s Tinted Brow Gel.  I avoided it for a while, because I couldn’t imagine putting something shimmery in my eyebrows.  But one day I tried it, and I absolutely LOVED it!

It makes my eyebrows look like I’ve given them highlights!  It’s kind of hard to describe I guess, I’ll just tell you that I love it, and it will be a makeup staple of mine from now on!

For those with thin, sparse brows, this unique, botanical formula actually plumps the hair follicle, giving the appearance of fuller, thicker brows. The combination of cream and gel effortlessly defines and fills in brows while controlling and shaping without flaking or fading.

The non-greasy formula can easily be removed at night with a facial cleanser or makeup remover. Housed in a sleek, portable tube that allows for precise, no-mess application, Anastasia’s Tinted Brow Gel is perfect for instant brow touch-ups – anyplace, anytime, plus it’s the must-have tool for any beauty-savvy woman.

Just when I think I have tried every great product out there I stumble upon on one that I can’t imagine living without. I recently tried some products from the Anastasia line and the standout for me was the Eye Lights Matte Pencil. Just run it under your eyebrow and voila like magic my eyes appeared more open and my eyebrows higher.

Even without makeup on Eye Lights opens up my eyes and makes a huge difference. Now my daily staple I don’t know how I lived before it.

Anastasia Eye Lights Matte

These versatile, moisturizing, cream-to-powder pencils create soft, matte highlights under brows, a smooth base for shadows, or subtle shadowing on its own.

I was recently sent a ton of amazing products from Anastasia, and I’ve had some time to try them out, and see how they work.  There are some AMAZING products, and here is one of my favorites!

Brow Enhancing Serum by Anastasia is a colorless and odorless gel, comprised of a unique blend of top proteins and vitamins designed to condition, repair, and restore the eyebrows.

What it is formulated to do:
Gone are the days of sparse, thin brows – say hello to fuller, thicker-looking brows with Brow Enhancing Serum. The unique gel-based formula is designed to help restore thin, over-plucked, and undernourished eyebrows. The deep conditioning action works to help stimulate brow growth, leaving them looking bold and beautiful.

What else you need to know:
Unlike other eyebrow regrowth products on the market that claim to work in a few months, Brow Enhancing Serum is clinically proven to stimulate the hair follicle in as quickly as 4-6 weeks! An easy-to-use applicator allows the non-greasy formula to glide on smooth without tugging or pulling and is gentle enough to be used every day. Brow Enhancing Serum is not harmful to the eyes or the surrounding skin area, plus as an added bonus, it also slows down excess hair loss, which results in a healthier fuller-looking brow.

For Thinning Brows:

“Play connect the dots!” says Sephora Beauty Pro Vanessa Dunn. One dot at the front of the brow, one dot at the top of the arch, and a final dot at the tail end. Then take a brow pencil and lightly shade it all in. Why dot on dots? So you can get an idea of how the end result will be shaped—after all, brows are no place for practicing your freehand.

Remember: The biggest brow boo-boo you can make is drawing on too-dark arches. Keep your coloring light-handed, and always mimic brow growth. Short, hair-like strokes look better than two filled-in hunks of color hovering over your eyes.

Go Brow – Universal Brow Pencil by Anastasia is a double-ended brow pencil and highlighter duo.

Anastasia Go Brow Dual Brow Shaper is the ultimate brow-shaping tool. The dual-ended pencil features both a universal brow color Brow Pencil and Highlighter that work together to create perfectly shaped, luminous brows.

The brow pencil has a long-wearing formula, suitable for all skintones, and the highlighter’s velvety-smooth texture allows for easy application.

When I think of great brows, I think of Carmen Electra – whose brows are perfectly shaped.

Here she is with her fiance, Rob Patterson at the debut of Blackjack at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, CA.
