If you have never gotten your eyebrows threaded, you really are missing out on perfectly sculptured brows. Yea it hurts, but beauty hurts, bitch! When I was in college at CSULB, I would take the bus to the Cerritos Ziba Beauty to get mehndi, threading and whatever else I was in dire need of (read: could afford at the time).

While walking in the Topanga mall the other day, I noticed a banner saying that Ziba Beauty now had a boutique on Nordstrom part of the mall. Sign me up!!! I am going to make my way there this week at some point, so my review will be up later on.

Since I am a huge fan of Ziba, I am confident that this boutique will offer fantastic services like the others in the lower southern cali area. As I get older, I am having some bad results from facial waxing and am looking forward to nice smooth skin minus the breakouts

here is a video I found on youtube that shows threading, although the woman who did mine put one end of the string in her mouth between her teeth and used the free hand to smooth/pull the skin.

Ok, I am in love. I got a case of brow shadow from Sebastian’s Trucco lHi Brow from the Dollface line/collection - my first time trying anything from that line…but OMG I think I am officially going to break up with Anastasia AND Eliza. My hear belongs to you, Trucco!

Please disregard my tranny friendly brows (courtesy of the Anastasia Brow Stencils prior to Victoria from Anastasia Nordstrom’s Topgana fixing them). Anyway…the photo is me wearing MAC pigments in Rose Gold, Dark Soul and Old Gold with a touch of cocoa. I applied it with a basic mac blending brush (it’s so old that it doesn’t show the number any longer) . Oh! And I used basic water to mix the pigments with - I think that if I had some mixing medium it might have come out looking a bit more tranny-friendly and bright! LOL.

And do you notice that dark dot on my right side of my cheek? Ya. It was a fly tattoo breauty mark that I had inked in at some south central LA nail shop back in 1994 when for whatever reason, I thought it was fly. And now looks like melanoma. Lesson Learn girlies = don’t assume your decisions in your 20’s won’t take the first given opportunity to make you look like a big dummy when your in your 30’s.

Some people are put on this earth to beautify America, one eyebrow at a time. Sandi Salerno is one of those people. Flirt Salon is where it all goes down.

First: A long and well-deserved digression lavishly praising Sandi’s relentlessly thorough waxing skills - my original reason for seeking her services more than a year ago, and also my primary reason for following her from two other salons to her new place Flirt, which she opened at the beginning of the summer. It is notable that I am, in Sandi’s own words, “a big baby.” I may have been blessed in the womb by the Not Very Much Body Hair Fairy, but I was sadly equally blessed by the Overly Sensitive Skin Fairy, and I have been known to sing a lot of opera whilst prostrate on Sandi’s table. Opera like high-pitched, drawn-out cussing. Variations On The F Word In G Minor.
