A lot of people overlook the fundamentals and the importance of well-groomed eyebrows and wonder what goes wrong with their ‘look’. Eyebrow grooming is one of the most vital steps that go into making you look pulled together and polished. A well-shaped set of eyebrows can completely alter your look and take you to the levels of chic and sophisticated from unkempt and primal.

Anyone who knows me, know that I’m all about keeping my eyebrows ‘on point’. One reader went as far as saying “You have the most perfectly arched eyebrows in the Western Hemisphere“. Ha Ha!

So…if you’re a makeup fiend like me, surely by now you’ve heard all the hype surrounding the super sexy collabo between French graffiti artist Fafi and the ultra edgy makeup empire, MAC. I’m loving it! I mean, what’s not to love? The work speaks for itself. Homegirl is well on her way to joining the millionaires billionaires club…if she hasn’t already. (She’s laid the collaborative smack down with Adidas, LeSportsac, and MOB as well). People dig this broads style. Me included.

Anyhoo, lastnite I took a notion to treat myself to these here (as shown above) cosmetic bags (I needed a little pick-me-up. The weather here has been a real joy stealer). I peeped the makeup collection and it’s sweet and all, but I need another lipgloss/shadow/blush/eyeliner/mascara/bronzer/brush/skincare item like I need a hole in my head.

As a bonus the sales rep tossed in a “saucylicious” poster (which I plan on framing and hanging in my budoir) featuring the “MAC.Fafinettes” and some sort of Mini-DVD I have yet to watch.

Fun!

I love being a woman/girly-girl. I wouldn’t trade in my feminine frills for nothing in this world. *smile*

Feeling Fine & Fafi,

What is a “Lace Front” wig? Lace Front wigs are units that have strands of hair individually knotted to a nylon or polyester mesh material that is constructed along the frontal area of the wig (some full cap and/or outer perimeter). The natural looking foundation is undetectable and disappears as it touches the skin. It is structured to simulate hair growing out of the skin. (source)

Lace Front Wigs are one of the hottest and latest trends hitting the beauty scene. Celebrities such as Beyonce, Tyra Banks and RuPaul and Mary J Blige, have been rockin’ “lace fronts” for many, many moons. [And there are plenty of white celebrities who loveth the lace front too]. LFW’s are by far the most realistic type of wig availible on the market today. From my understanding the cost to obtain and maintain a custom fitted lace-front wig, is a “grip” [$$] - Which may be one reason why the trend has been kept within celebrity circles for so long.

However, as with any high end beauty trend - the “cat has been let out of the bag” and more affordable wigs are being made availible to the masses. I reckon that soon and very soon you will see the common neighborhood diva out at the club, swingin’ her lace front mane to and fro [It might be me].

“Lace Fronts” are heaven sent for anybody who is enduring hair loss due to an illness, the results of chemotherapy radiation treatments, or even for no apparent reason. A lace wig can add realistic-looking hair to their head and boost confidence. This type of wig, stunningly, can look and feel like real hair if it is of high quality and applied correctly. The only real issue with a “lace front” is that it cannot hold up to daily wear and tear as well as a wig made of synthetic fibers.

The following clips will help give you some insight into the application and removal process of a LFW. Enjoy!
