TOP BEAUTY : Benefit “Brow” Bar + giveaway

Benefit “Brow” Bar +giveaway!

Hong Kong girls have a culture for tweezing/threading their eyebrows; whereas in the west, people are used to waxing their brows. In Hong Kong, there aren’t many places where you can get your brows or facial hair waxed professionally and quickly, but now I’ve found the place.

The reason why I prefer waxing is because waxing is less painful, and it brightens up the skin immediately. In my opinion, waxing only works properly when you have a professional with you. I often wax my upper lip by myself but there’s always some tiny small hairs which cannot be caught with pre-waxed strips. At home, I find it easier to use pre-waxed strips rather than using hot wax because I have better control.

Let’s get back to Benefit Brow Bar, there are small tiny service stands situated in their shops, and the procedure is done quickly, like less than 15 mins.

The technician will first ask you about your skin condition, and go on to know more about the cream and medicine that you are using. It is important to stay away from acne cream, whitening cream or anything which contains Retin A, Accutane, Differen Gel, Metro gel due to the ingredients inside will trigger some allergic reaction when waxing.

Then, the technician will carefully prep your skin - first to wipe off any makeup and SPF. The tech will then use the wax which is heated in the temperature controlled pot. The wax is not too hot, and just a small amount will be applied gently on your upper lips. Then whosh! -- pulling off your hair with a waxing strip on top. They take care of small hidden areas with care, so when it’s done you’re left with very fresh looking skin.

After the procedure, the technician will gently wipe off all the excess wax with wax gel, then carefully sooth your skin with cooling gel. Afterwards, the procedure is done! As simple as that! To finish off, the technician/makeup artist will use some light press powder to cover your bare skin, and you’re good to go!

I think the main attraction with Benefit Brow Bar is that it is a one-go stop. It’s not like you have to go to a very Westernized (expensive!) spa to get it done, it’s something so simple yet effective that can be done during your lunch break. (when comparing to tweezing) – and you only have to go once every three weeks!

So, in order for all the beautiful Ladies & Gents (we welcome guys too!) out there to try this awesome experience, we are going to invite 50 TOP fans to experience hairless upper lips…
