We are continuing on with the "wedding month" challenges.
Last week was something old, and this week is something new. This challenge gave me the perfect opportunity to do something that I have wanted to do for a very long time. Practically everyone I know gets their eyebrows waxed. In the 30 years I have been alive, I have never touched mine. That's right, not even with a tweezer. When I went to get it done, the lady kept asking me who did mine before (because as she said, "They didn't do a very good job"). She also told me I had to stop plucking my right one more than my left. I explained to her that I had never had my eyebrows waxed, nor had I ever plucked them, but she looked at me like she didn't believe me. I would also like to say that my friend, Rachael, told me that it didn't hurt, but that is completely untrue. It did hurt.

I have been thinking lately about getting mine waxed...I've always tweezed but I'm not sure they ever come out symmetrical looking. Yours look great! I'm sure it takes a while to get used to the new brows...like a new haircut. And, BTW, your blue eyes are stunning!
I hate the maintenance of eyebrows! I HATE plucking so I do wax them, but then it has to be done so often or they look terrible. There is no good solution. And yes it DOES hurt!
I hate tweezing and have been blessed with a unibrow so I wax. Probably more info than you wanted to know about a stranger :) Yes it hurts, but it is so worth it.
Hey Sarah! I must say that at least your eyelids aren't completely RED! I cannot be seen the day I wax my eyebrows because they are so swollen and red for at least 24 hours! The things we do for beauty!!! :)
PS Your blog is so cute!

That is for sure a new thing-
Ouch-
Mine get so red that I can't go anywhere after ...
I just had mine done, and had my
19 1/2 month old with me. It really scared him!
I forgot to add,
I think they look good!
It looks Great! You have such beautiful blue eyes. Wow - you don't have to wear make up or oanything & your eyes stand out so much..
Looks Great!
Waxing does sting, well okay, hurt. I think it's worth it, at least for me. I always feel so much better--except I'm red for a while.
Looks good!
It really opens up your eyes! I love it!
I must have tough skin because it doesn't hurt me and I can pretty much go out right after getting it done...you wimp!
I am glad you got it done and I am amazed that you have never done your eyebrows!
I have never touched mine either, and thanks for the reminder that they probably look like they were done really badly as well. Thanks for the pain warning, I will be sure to wait many more years lol
It took me a long to to start tweezing my own eyebrows. I've never done the wax thing before, but I should because maybe it would hurt for a shorter period of time. I'm so unlucky because I have dark bushy eyebrows and they're a pain to keep up with. By the way, yours look good!
I love them! I pluck mine because plucking hurts less for me then waxing. I think waxing 'anything' is toooo painful! Anyway doesn't having neat and perfect eyebrows make your face feel cleaner? I don't know why but when I have stragglers it makes me feel dirty or messy!
I get mine waxed, it does hurt.
Although I find that the plucking right after the waxing hurts worse. What we do for beauty eh? I do prefer it done in one shot though. I think it looks good. Not too much red.
I am like you, I have never had that done. I have never had the courage. So good for you that you did it. Maybe one day I will work up the guts...
I think it totally opens up your eyes! I love it!!! I promise it gets less painful as you do it more :-)
You look great! I also waited until I was 30 to start the whole eyebrow thing, but now I love the look of a manicured eyebrow and will never go back.
Too funny. You didn't look that bad before, but I do see a difference in the arch of your brow. Great new thing.
Amber has plucked mine a few times, and man, it is something I would never wish on anyone. I don't know how girls do it.
Man, the things we girls have to endure to look good! I can't believe you have never succumbed to a wax job...good for you and I like the after picture...it opens your eyes more...beautiful!
We are so much alike in this. I have never had mine waxed and I pluck maybe once a year and I cry every time I do it. I knew a lady that insisted your eyebrows are the picture frame of your face. Whatever, I guess I'm just too lazy. However, you look so good, I might have to do something about mine.
my sisters held me down when I was about 20 and plucked them for me. Not that they were that bad, however in front of a cute boy one of my sisters told him how I use to have a unibrow, so not true, and I still hold it against her that she said that, ok not really. I think your eyes look pretty either way.
Wow I can't believe you have never done anything to your eyebrows before! I think they look great. I actually have never gotten my eyebrows waxed but have plucked ever since I started jr high. I still hate doing them.
By the way what is "SPT"?
I have eyebrows like Brooke Shields- I didn't do anything to them until I was 30 either, except keep the unibrow under control. I think you look great!
i almost posted about my eyebrows this week - as i found a *new* gray eyebrow when i was tweezing! eek.
You look great either way. Your lucky you don't have to keep up on it. I know after I started I definately had to keep doing it and it is a pain and is painful. One more thing to maintain...the things we go through :)
