I'm not afraid to admit my mistakes, I can laugh at myself. I have been known to do some really stupid things with very hilarious results. Any of my friends can share numerous stories you wouldn't believe were true but absolutely happen to moi.

I beginning this way because yours truly jacked up her eye brows as only Aimee can do. It was on a wintry night in Bayonne; I was a intoxicated due to a rather strong dose of cold medicine when I decided I absolutely needed to 'fix' my eye brows. After spending about an hour or so I felt I had completed my mission. My brows have been transformed into absolute perfection and I drift off into a warm NyQuil coma.

After waking up groggy but overall in a better state of mind I begin my routine. I go through the motions and begin the process of pinning back my bangs so that I can put my face on. Let me pause here so I can frame this for you because there are few times in my life where I have looked in the mirror and have been rendered speechless, this chicas would be one of those times. My eyebrows were obviously the victims of a malicious attack because there was literally NO WAY I could have done that much damage. One eye brow was okay the other seemed to have been plucked into oblivion now resembling a check mark that got a bit stretched and fell over! My once thick luxurious eyebrows were now these thin sickly little things.  I couldn't believe the damage I had inflicted, I should have been arrested for brow cruelty. After hyperventilating and crying more than I should have. I vowed to leave them alone for a week or two and seek professional help. There was no way I could fix the mess I had made.

After a week and a half (thank GOD for bangs) my brows grew out to this:

Before

You can just make out how bad they were...after growing them out awhile they aren't as shocking. In these photos I have nothing on my brows so you can really see the shape and state they were in. Before you ask there is no freaking way I'm showing you what I saw in the mirror the first day, this is what you get to see. My woolly mammoth caterpillar brows. I'm eternally grateful I'm to my hairy mofo gene I grew my brows pretty fast. 

I made an appointment to see Elke Von Freudenberg and headed off for help. Elke is just amazing, I had so much fun hanging out with her. I learned so much. She is a Goddess and can work a magic like none you have ever witnessed.

She counsels you on your brow shape and what will work best for your face. Elke is a master at contouring brows not only for every day but for film and print. Her clientele includes some of the biggest names in Hollywood who keep her really busy. I was thankful to get an appointment and her assistance.

Elke told me my brows weren't the worse she has seen and gave me the tips I need to help get them back into shape. How to keep them looking healthy and even how not to keep fighting with them. What I loved about the session is your not just laying back allowing some "manicurist" from the nail salon to just go in and decide what your eyebrow shape should be. It's a real consultation just like you get when you go in for a hair cut. It was quite educational and I'm so very grateful to have had it.

She turned my brows from that to this:

She used her own brand of products to fill in the brows. The pencil is much creamier then Anastasia's Brow Pencil and once this one sets it sets. It's waterproof and smudge proof. Perfect eye brows all day. Elke also applied two different brow powders both below and above the eyebrow to give it a nice sharp defined look.

I will be posting a separate blog post with the products, swatches and back links for your purchasing pleasure.

So what do you guys think? Money well spent right?

I ADORE YOU ELKE SEE YOU SOON :)
