I'm thinking about lash tintage, and eyebrow shapage. Any advice or caveats? I feel sort of weird considering having chemicals applied so close to mis ojos.

I think it's outlawed there, so they're beginning to cast suspicious glares toward the underwear catalogs of department stores in the fear that someone, somewhere might be titilated.

Hee. You said titilated. /12

I basically can't have any snack food in my house for more than a day or two. Including things like entire boxes of crackers or batches of cookies. It's kind of a problem.

Jesse and I share the same problem. If it's here, I'll eat it. DH just mentioned the "cookie emergency". Meaning, we have no cookies in the house. But it's raining too damn hard to do anything about it.

I pretty much only buy snack food if I'm planning to make a meal of it. Then I figure it works itself out.

I know nothing about lash tintage, but am ALL ABOUT eyebrow shapage. I have no problem with waxing, but if that freaks you out, you could look into threading. It's like bulk plucking, done by twisting threads. Or something.

Waxing is fine. I like the warm and have a fairly high pain tolerance.

I've always wondered about threading.

I can't imagine that they are much different in terms of how long they last (a pluck is a pluck...heh heh) but is one more 'spensive than the other?

Just on a guess, I'd bet you can find them each in a range of prices, depending on the place -- fancy salon vs. Korean nail shop vs. Chinatown, you know?

You're in DC, right, Beej? [link]

Jesse rocks like a rocking horse. Thanks!

I'm makin' an appt. tomorrow. I'll report back if any eyes are put out.

One of these days I should try the threading...I think I'm too lazy -- usually I wait until I can't take it anymore, and then run into the closest nail place. Possibly not the best strategy.

Beej, I know the place near me (which is no where near you) uses a vegetable base for their lash and brow tints. I don't think you have to be afraid, as long as you stick to a reputable place. The threading thing scares me. Waxing my eyebrows never hurts. I haven't needed the lip wax yet. We'll see if that's how my hormones assault me next, though.

I am jealous of people who don't need lip maintenance.
