Castor Oil Eyebrow Challenge Reboot!

Awhile back, I talked about trying out Castor Oil to make my eyebrows thicker. I applied it once a day for about a month, but because I wasn't noticing a big difference, I ended up stopping it and didn't use anything for awhile. I just resigned myself to using pencil and powder to fill in my brows. A little over month ago, I got fed up with one of my brows, which is noticeably thinner than the other and decided to give Castor Oil another shot. I made a few changes to my application routine and am finally seeing some results. There are tiny baby hairs growing in areas where there was no hair before. Although, my problem brow is not to the thickness that I want, it has only been a month and both of my brows are definitely making progress. The brow that was thicker to start with is now fuller and a bit longer than before. I'm planning on sticking to Castor Oil for a few more months to give my brows more time to grow. I think applying the Castor Oil twice a day with a mascara wand and massaging it in made a huge difference.

These are the new hairs that have grown in so far right below the main area of my brow. I'm hoping to grow out that entire area and then shape my brow so I no longer have to fill in my brows.

Luxe Lips with Urban Decay's Revolution Lipstick!

I've always loved Urban Decay makeup products because of their rich intensity. Their new Revolution Lipstick line lets you play around with different looks so you can go from dramatic glam to subtly sexy. All the lipsticks also have pretty suggestive names, which makes it even more fun. The Vogue Influencer Network sent me the Naked lipstick color along with 2 lip liner pencils so that I could get the perfect pout. The lipstick didn't disappoint. It has a beautiful, deep natural color that made my lips look fuller. The liner was easy to use and helped the lipstick stay in place. It also lasted for a long time, even after eating and drinking.
