Visiting the Benefit Browbar

September 9, I went to the Benefit browbar. I visit the browbar for two years now. It´s a kind of addiction in think but a good one. I like it when my eyebrows look perfect. It also feels nice and clean.

Najat, my favourite brow specialst, works at the browbar for almost two years now. She is the one who always waxes my brows. And yes she is really fantastic at her job.

For this time i deceided to go on a friday afternoon instead of a thursday evening. I must say, i prefer the friday afternoon. Much more relaxing than a thursday evening. There's more time on a afternoon and that feels more relaxing.

What I really want and have to say: Browwaxing does not hurt! Ok, it's not completely painless but hey, it's really worth it. It probably looks like it hurts a lot because of the skin turns red. It gives less pain then using tweezers and the big benefit, it takes away all the little annoying hairs instead of just a couple. Very nice.

To give you an impression about how the browbar in Utrecht looks, here is a picture. As you can see, it looks really nice. And had quite much space.

The treatment takes place inside the bar.



Browwaxing works like this:

First, Najat will measure on which places of your face the brows have to start and stop so they will match your face.
After that the eyebrow areas are cleaned. Then the special wax with tea tree and aloe vera goes on your skin with a spatula. It feels nice and warm, not sticky. A waxing cloth is put on the place and in one go, Najat removes the hair, wax and cloth from your face.
There are always some hairs that will not go away, so they are removed with a tweezer.
To cool down the skin, you will get cooling gel with lavender on the waxed areas. Now it's time to cover the redness on your face and put on some make up. To hide the redness Najat uses the anti- bacterial boi-ing concealer. Your brow will get some powder and under brow a bit of eye bright is placed to lift the eyes and some make up for a nice finishing touch.

I also got my upperlip done, and yes that hurts a lot more then eyebrows, but it's worth it.

This is how i looked after:

On my face i have: boi-ing concealer, browpencil, highlighter and bella bamba cheekpowder all from benefit. On my lips a amazingly pink glittery lipgloss from make up forever. Unfortunately i do not know the name or number.

I am really happy with the result. That's also the reason why i always go back to the browbar. Najat gives you prefect eyebrows. But remember: eyebrows are sisters not twins.

So time for you now to make an appointment if you want nice eyebrows. Waxing your eyebrows + make-up will cost you € 21,-. Waxing your eyebrows and upperlip + a bit of make up €29,-

If it is your birthday, you will get a brow treatment for free!
