I had huge thick furry caterpillars in the 80's fueled by the likes of brook shields, thinner more natural looking ones in the early 90's like many of the models and popstars and that obsession with perfection led to over plucking.
I have thin brows which are missing the front part. I dont pluck from anywhere but underneath on the outer arch now.
Whilst searching the net and hearing liposils being great for eyelashes I came across the same thing for eyebrows! yay!! and being able to get anything in the world on ebay I bought something called Talika.
On there website the testimonials made me reassured but I decided to document the growth if any - weekly :D
Details of the product on the website can be found on here.
So from tonight I will upload a photo each week of my eyebrows - without any pencilling in or brow powder.
My brows au natural! yes you see the problem.. alot of penciling in. But a good starting point to see if it works! Excuse the puffy eyes - its 6am, having 2 girls I have to get in the bathroom early lol
at the start 06/10/09
2 weeks later 21/10/09
21/10/09 2 wks later
I was going to post a pic last week but there was nothing at all.
After applying morning and night so far there hasnt been any dramatic difference to see - the fine hairs I would have plucked daily are coming through and I am not plucking at all which is killing me. Should take about 28 days so halfway through this isnt bad as there is some growth but it could just be what have grown if I stopped plucking anyway lol always the skeptic!
I will stick with it and let you know

My brows after powdershadow or my blink eyebrow pencil
My brows have been thinned out too... but If they were any bigger I would think they need to be tweezed. lol I hate having to pencil in, but I love the look of them afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI did the exact same thing a while back, I overplucked and my brows were starting after the eyes did...
ReplyDeleteI just stopped plucking that part alltogether and used castor oil on the bit that should have had brow, almost daily...
Now, 6 months later, I have about half a centimeter of growth from each side, not sure if they 'll grow more, but let's hope so! ;)
Good luck with Talika, and let us know how you get on with it!
xx
definately :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this I'm in the same situation haha
ReplyDeleteI am in the same boat, little to no brow and I used to have full beautifully shaped brows. Damn those fashion trends!!! I will be following your blog very closely too see if there is an improvement because I'll be next in line to buy Talika if it works. P.S. you look cute as a button with no brown and puffy eyes =) xxNadia
ReplyDeleteLucky I donćt have this problem
ReplyDeletebut I must say
when you do make your eyebrows
then they do look amazing
I do have girlfriends that have the same problem ... their eyebrows just are thin naturally I will recommend this product..
thanks
:D
for following :D
Welcome to SITS!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the front part of your brows?
I once let an electrologist convince me to do my brows, and the shape she picked was horrid, and one of my brows is missing the arch on top (she decided I should have straight, Brooke Shields brows without asking me, and on one side the hair grew back and on the other it did not), and it's also missing hair on the side (not as long as the other anymore)...sigh.
had them plucked for years at the same beautician and gradually she took more and more away until i thought - hold on a min! um where are they?
ReplyDeleteThey have been thin ever since and ive just plucked the odd one ehere and there so this is me trying to grow them back lol
painfully slow to say the least :) thanks for stopping by
