The Beauty Within

I love my car.  I seriously do.  I don’t baby it as much as I’d like to, and I don’t keep it clean like I should, but I still love it.  A few months ago, I fell in love with it more for one (or two) reasons.

It’s the perfect place to 1)  tweeze your eyebrows, and 2) apply eye make up.

I know Kristen from Beauty Addict recently wrote about how great it is to tweeze your eyebrows in your car, but I’m seriously not copying her idea.  Her post did get me to also write about it too.

So how did I figure this trick out myself?

A while ago I had misplaced my beloved Tweezerman tweezers.  I looked everywhere but I still couldn’t find it.  Finally one day, on the way home from work, I couldn’t stand my bushy brows anymore, so I hopped and scotched over to CVS to grab some tweezers.

I ran back to my car, ripped open the tweezer container, flipped down the mirror, and started hacking those brows right there in the parking lot.  The lighting was perfect, the distance from my face to the mirror was perfect, but unfortunately the cheapie Revlon tweezer was not very ergonomic, so I couldn’t really get out all the little tiny hairs.  I seriously think this is a better method than using a magnified mirror.  With magnified mirrors, it’s too easy to over tweeze.  But with a 1x mirror, you see each and every single hair, BUT it’s easier to keep the overall brow shape in perspective.

Then of course, with all that said, it’s also great to apply eye make up.

See for yourself.  Try it next time when your in the parking lot at the grocery store, or wherever.  =P
