Review: Serenity and Scott Brow Gel in Copper Auburn

Hey Guys,

I wanted to share my thoughts on an awesome brow product that I picked up at IMATS NY. It is the Serenity & Scott Brow Gel in Copper Auburn. I have always used clear brow gels but have never used tinted ones before. I was interested in trying a tinted brow gel to see how I liked it.

Serenity & Scott Brow Gel in Copper Auburn $16.00

This brow gel looks almost metallic in the tube. I chose the Copper Auburn because I fill my brows in and sometimes they come out really dark. Since I dye my hair auburn/red, this brow gel helps warm and lighten up my brows. I have been using this every day since I first purchased it. It doesn't make your brow hair stiff or sticky. The color looks very natural and not over powering. The wand/comb itself is thick but not too thick.

Here is a swatch of the tinted brow gel:

Here are my brows with just the tinted brow gel:

Here are my brows filled in and topped with the tinted brow gel:

Overall, I highly recommend this product. It is well worth the price and I will definitely be repurchasing it. This definitely gives your brows just a little extra something that makes them looking fresh and on point.

Shaping My Brows with Tryst Studio: Week 8

Hi Ladies!

Today I am going to share with you my before and after results of my brow transformation made possible by the lovely ladies at Tryst Studio. If you are new to this series, you can check out my very first post along with my follow-up posts HERE. Just to sum things up, I decided I wanted to grow out my brows and perfect their shape. For the past 8 weeks I have been growing out my brows and going to Tryst Studio in Hingham, MA where they have been tweaking the shape little by little. I have also been using Rapid Lash to help accelerate the growth.

 

Here are pictures of my brows 8 weeks ago before I started going to Tryst Studio:

Filled in Brows

As you can see, the shape was very dramatic and manipulated from my natural shape.

Here are my brows 8 weeks after growing them out with the help of Tryst Studio:

Overall, I am so happy with the end results! Though at times it was very hard for me not to pluck all the hairs growing in, it was well worth it in the end. I had such a great experience at Tryst Studio. Going there to get your brows done is SO DIFFERENT than going to a salon. These women are trained to create a shape that best suits your face. They don't just slab on some wax and BOOM your done. They take their time to get every hair and use special lighting for precise detail. They make you lay down first then have you sit up straight to make sure the shape looks correct after plucking, waxing etc. After getting a shape they are satisfied with, they will bring you out into the studio and show you the correct way to fill in your brows. Tryst also sells brow kits that come with all the tools you need to fill in your brows including custom brow powders.

Besides the fact that these women are experts at brow shaping, they are also very friendly and make you feel totally comfortable. A special thanks to Kelly O'Keefe (the owner of Tryst Studio) for convincing me to take the leap and to Corrie (pictured above) and Christina who both shaped my brows over the past two months.

Aside from brow shaping and waxing, Tryst Studio also offers facial services and makeup application. To check out all of there offerings click HERE .

Shaping My Brows with Tryst Studio: Week 6*

Hi Ladies!

I'm back to give you guys an update on my brow transformation with the help of Tryst Studio! To see my other three posts, you can click HERE. After my last visit to Tryst, I was told to come back in two weeks. I was allowed to pluck stray hairs but needed to stay away from the areas that needed to grow in (the inner start of my brows, the tail of my brows, and the thickest part). I have continued to use the Rapid Lash daily.

Here are my brows after a little more than two weeks of growth:

The inner part of my brows are starting to fill in really well. The tail of my brows are growing in too. Lastly, the middle part of my right brow has grown in quickly which is good news.

This visit, I met with Corrie. She was really impressed with my will power to not pluck and the growth that has occurred since the last time that she saw my brows. She thinks that they are ALMOST there.

Here are my brows after Corrie cleaned them up:

Corrie said that my brows are REALLY close in shape now. She said that your brows are sisters not twins, so they will never be exact. I agree and think that they are pretty close. They are so much more even compared what they used to look like.

Here are my brows after I filled them in with brow powder and pomade:

My next appointment is in two weeks. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel!

That's all for this update. Stay tuned in a couple of weeks to see how they look next!

Shaping My Brows with Tryst Studio*-Week 4

Hi Ladies!

I'm back to give you guys an update on my brow transformation with the help of Tryst Studio! To see my other three posts, you can click HERE. After my last visit to Tryst, I was told to come back in two weeks. I was allowed to pluck stray hairs but needed to stay away from the areas that needed to grow in (the inner start of my brows, the tail of my brows, and the thickest part). Because I was not able to make it into the studio at the two week mark, I came in a couple days early.

Here are my brows after almost 2 weeks of growth:

I have continued to use the Rapid Lash on my brows each night. As you can see, the inner part of my brows are starting to grow in nicely one one side but needs a lot more growth on the other. My left brow needs some thickening on the end but has filled out nicely on the base. My right brow needs a bit more work. I have always struggled with my right brow. The left always looks nicer.

Shaping My Brows with Tryst Studio*-Week 2

Hi Ladies!
I'm back to give you guys an update on my brow transformation with the help of Tryst Studio! To see my first two posts click HERE and HERE. 

I forgot to take pictures of my brows without makeup but below are my brows unfilled after my first appointment and a whole week of not plucking. As you can see, the inner corners are trying to grow in. I also have a ton of hair growth on my brow bone. I am contining to use the Rapid Lash hair growth serum every night. I'm honestly not sure if that is what is causing this rapid growth or if my hair just grows fast? I never let it grow this long so its hard to tell. I can tell you that usually, if I don't pluck for 2 days, there is a decent amount to pluck.

My right brow seems to grow faster and better than my left (opposite in the pictures above). We are trying to let the hair fill in on the tail. Its happening but not as equal as we would like.

Here are my brows after Christina cleaned up the hairs underneath and on top. She wanted to leave the stray hairs at the start of my brow to see if they will fill in on my left side (right brow in picture).

Here are my brows filled in. As you can tell, the inner part of my left brow (right in picture) has to be filled in more than the right as there is less hair growth at this time.

 

So far, I am so happy with how my brows are transforming. I don't want to make them any thicker because I like how they look (thickness wise) when I fill them in like in the above pictures. I feel that they start of the inner part of my brows look good how they are lets just hope my left brow fills in like the right. I think that this brow shape compliments my face much more than how they were before. They are definitely more even which I am thrilled about. Christina said that I don't have to come back for another two weeks. Since we are just trying to get that little area to grow in more and my left brow to thicken up a little, there isn't much that needs to be done. She said I can pluck stray hairs from now on as long as I don't mess with the shape. 

That's all for this update. Stay tuned in a couple of weeks to see how they look next!

Shaping My Brows with Tryst Studio*-Week 1

Hi Ladies,
I'm back to update you on my brow journey with Tryst Studio. If you didn't see my first post on shaping my brows you can read it HERE.  After not touching my brows for a week, I had an appointment at Tryst to start the shaping process. Two Estheticians, Christina Wilson and Corrie Bryda, both shaped my brows. They waxed and tweezed a bit to clean up the shape and showed me how to fill in my brows with powder.

Before I get into my brows, here are some pictures of their stylish and cozy studio!

Reshaping My Brows at Tryst Studio*

Hi Ladies!
Today I am going to do a different kind of post. As many of you know, I have a major brow obsession. I have tried to perfect my brows by using gels, powders, creams, and pencils and though they do help, the real issue here is my shape. Of course we all see these pictures on Instagram of women with PERFECT brows, which we all strive for. But no matter how much filling I do, my brows are still missing something.

A fellow Boston blogger  named Biana (of B Loved Boston) told me about an amazing makeup, skincare, and brow studio in Hingham, MA called Tryst Studio.  Tryst has a Precision Brow Design service. This really interested me but I wasn't sure if it was possible to fix my brows without making them super tiny. I called the studio and they told me to email the owner Kelly.
