Um, do my eyebrows look funny?

So...when you're in Los Angeles, not only do you want to see the stars... you also want to look like them.

That's why my friend, Hannah, suggested I go to Anastasia to get a brow shaping. I already buy Anastasia products at Sephora... and after all, who doesn't appreciate the woman who does Oprah's eyebrows?

When you walk into the Beverly Hills salon, you'll find a whole wall of celebrity head shots marked up with thank you notes to Anastasia. I remember Eva Longoria's pic was right by my head... and I thought, "Dang, her eyebrows look good!"

Well, my eyebrows got tweezed and waxed, but somehow they got bigger in the end. I'm not sure if I dug it.

The woman who did my eyebrows was very skilled at her job, but at the same time, she was a bit harsh with me. She told me I needed to grow out my brows, and when I told her that they were just weird and didn't grow...she kind of scolded me. Granted, I felt a little Eastern European vibe from her... so, uh, maybe that was just the way she came off?

Regardless, I still had such a great experience! I even saw paparazzi outside snapping pictures of some unknown person. It was absolutely worth the $80! Just don't tell my husband.

Dangerous Contacts? No way, says Michelle Phan

Long story short--

Good Morning America's JuJu Chang did a story on an eye contact crazy Tuesday morning...that she says was inspired by Lady Gaga. The story was about how circle lenses could be dangerous.



The story mentions Michelle Phan's tutorial on how to look like Lady Gaga-- check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHVOxhEpjp0

Tonight, Michelle Phan says circle lenses are NOT dangerous... here is exactly what she said on Facebook: "Circle Lens will not blind you. Just don't buy the cheap ones and like everything else in life, everything in moderation. There are millions of Circle Lens fans that's been wearing these lens on a daily basis for years that have not gone blind. Consult a doctor If you are worried. Other than that, I bet you no one that... made the negative statement has even worn or even touch circle lens. Lady Gaga did not make circle lens popular. This is old news and circle lens has been popular for 5-6 years. Obviously, the person who wrote the article did not do further research to find that one of the first circle lens was made by Acuvue called 1 Day Acuvue Define http://bit.ly/bQVPZZ"
