Lately, I've been obsessing over strong brows.  I know I know, I'm late to the party.  Been there done that, but my sudden post about eyebrows, is like every blogger wearing a THAT plaid blanket scarf from Zara.  May have been a scarf from last winter, but it's everywhere... still.   Just search through Instagram for blanket scarf.  It's insane.  But I digress.  Back to the brows, the real topic for today.

I am obsessed with trying to emulate the master of brows, Cara Delevingne.  This generations Brooke Shields.  My generation was all about pencil thin, almost drawn on brows, and with the resurgence of the 90's, I am so glad the brows were not one of them.  It's time we embraced thick and natural, yet groomed eyebrows.  (Remember, there should be 2!)  I've even begun filling in my brows everyday.  Even if I wear no eye makeup,  I'm still filling in my dirty blonde brows with my favorite pencil from Milani in Natural Taupe.

Are your eyebrows not thick and luscious like any of the ladies above, there's a few helpful links below on how to groom & rock these strong brows.

From left to right:

Aveda- Purifying gel cleanser: I use this every morning before I put on make up. It's an all natural cleanser, that doesn't use harsh fragrances or alcohol like ingredients that are horrible for oily skin.  It leaves my face clean, but not dried out and is a great prep before I apply make-up. ($28)  

Mario Badescu- Botanical Facial Gel: This is my go to daily face wash for evenings.  Again, it's another all natural wash for super oily skin.  It's a super gentle exfoliate that's non-abrasive and is a good choice for daily care. ($12)

Kiehl's- Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser: When my skin decides to go over board on the oil production, I break out this wonderful creation.  It helps exfoliate & detoxify with each wash and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores. ($22.50)

Clinique- Exfoliating Scrub: I can never thank my friend Pepper enough for introducing me to this wonderful exfoliant.  If you have super-duper crazy oily skin, I highly recommend you purchase this.  I use it once a week for a deep clean.  The peppermint in it is so refreshing and calming.  And my skin is ridiculously clean afterwards, I almost go makeup free all day.  Buy this!! ($19.50)

Kiehl's- Ultra Facial Oil-Free Toner:  I use this every night after I wash my face, just to get rid of the extra grossness that face wash couldn't remove.  ($16)

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment: Dab a little bit of this below your eyes before bed to help keep your under eyes refreshed & moisturized.($28.50)

I am having a hair crisis.  I like my long hair, but its starting to get to me.  How come when I wake up it can't look like any of the ladies above?  I mean, why can't i just wake up with the "i-just-woke-up-to-these-strategically-placed-soft-waves" hair?  When I wake up it looks more like i slept doing a headstand.  I mean, how does ones hair only puff up around the crown of the head, EVERY TIME?

I curl my hair on occasion, but it looks like Shirley Temple with long ringlets instead of Blake Lively's beachy waves. And by mid day, its flat. Oh except the sides.  They stay curled, all bloody day.

So readers, I have a mission for you.  Anyone have any great suggestions on how to get any of the looks above?  I know I'm doing something wrong, but what is it?  is it the curling iron?  The products?  The technique?  Please ladies (and gents) any suggestions would be fabulous.
