In fact, researchers at Yale University found that bad hair days decrease self-esteem ..read more

The splendor of summer—sun-kissed days filled with trips to the pool and beach, outdoor barbecues with family and friends, and plenty of time outdoors for new adventures. Ahhhhh!

While we can all agree that professionally groomed brows are best, we may not always have the time—or the budget—to visit the salon as often as we’d like.

After all, no woman wants her brows looking anything less than “on fleek”—or, even worse, having unkempt brows that could be mistaken for (gasp!) a unibrow. If you’re in need of a minor touch-up ..read more
