A Fresh Way to Start Your Day

If you have never tried anything from the Fresh product line, now is your chance. Or, if you are a fan, this is an amazing chance to get some of their best products at a super reasonable price. I have been a huge fan of Fresh products for quite some time now- the more things I try, the more I fall in love. My favorite Cleanser (Fab-YOU-lous: My Favorite Cleanser: Fresh), Lip Polish (Fab-YOU-lous: Polish Your Lips!), and Chapstick (the Fresh Sugar Lip Polish) are all Fresh products that I use on a daily basis.
This fabulous kit, at an AMAZING price (ONLY $28, can you believe that?!) includes a full size Sugar Lip Polish, 3.4 oz Brown Sugar Body Cream, and a 0.28 oz Sugar Lip Polish. This kit is a $66 value, because the Lip Polish alone costs $22.50- How amazing is this set that for $5.50 more you receive a Fresh Body Cream and Lip Polish! Not to mention the adorable shiny red makeup bag that the products come in!
Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 blends real sugar with nourishing meadowfoam and black currant seed oils to hydrate, soften, and protect the lips. 
Sugar Lip Polish gently exfoliates and conditions with real brown sugar crystals, leaving lips incredibly soft and smooth. 
Brown Sugar Body Cream hydrates the skin and restores suppleness, leaving skin silky smooth and velvety soft.
If you want an intro to the Fresh product line, I would absolutely recommend trying this kit- what do you have to lose?! Amazing products at a crazy good price, I promise you will love it!
You can purchase the Fresh Sugar Lust Set at Sephora
Retail Price: $28 ($66 value)

Eyebrow Threading

I have been getting my eyebrows waxed since middle school- I'm Italian, what can I say- I have always been *blessed* with big bushy thick eyebrows that need to be tamed. The easiest and quickest way to do this is by waxing them, so that is what I did every 2 weeks for years.
However, when I went to college, I couldn't go to my normal salon anymore because of the distance. It became very hectic trying to find a new place to get my brows waxed, and also due to my very busy schedule I found it hard to commit to an appointment time.
While walking along in the mall one day, looking for a place to get my brows waxed I came upon a threading salon that had just opened up. I had heard about eyebrow threading previously, and the practice of this hair removal method had always intrigued me... For quite a long time I just didn't understand it and was perplexed by how it worked and what it felt like. Threading is an ancient method of hair removal which originated in parts of India, the Middle and Far East, and is now gaining popularity in Western countries. This hair removal technique uses 100% cotton thread. This thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin entwining the hairs in the thread, allowing for more precise hair removal.
I decided to give eyebrow threading a shot because it was relatively inexpensive/normally priced at $15, and because you did not need to make an appointment, it was on a first come first serve basis. It felt very strange at first, especially compared to waxing- It is very hard to explain the feeling, but it only lasted around 10 minutes to get them done. The finished product was GORGEOUS, I couldn't believe how precise this practice was and how perfect my brows looked. Even better, it actually lasted longer than a wax because they were able to get every hair out, even those short stubborn ones that waxing misses.



Above is a video that I found on YouTube, it is an NBC review about threading- It shows people getting their eyebrows threaded, and explains the practice a bit more.

Have you ever tried threading?? Let me know what you thought of this ancient practice in a comment on this post! Thanks for reading, fashionistas :)

Stay Fabulous xoxo
