]]> OK, I have a confession to make.  I actually pay to have my eyebrows waxed.  It is so painful for me to have them plucked (I actually cry when they pluck more than 2 hairs) that I actually ask the lady to wax my eyebrows mulitple times and NEVER pick up a pair of tweezers.  But paying for it is very painful for me as well.  It is one of my little treats that I give myself.

Now I have found that I no longer have to  go and pay for someone to do my eyebrows.  I have tried everything to reduce the pain so that I can do it myself.  But now, I use … Anbesol maximum strength.  It has 20% benzocaine and does a good job of numbing my skin so that I can pluck myself.  I just got through and it doesn’t look too bad.  And I didn’t even flinch!

So, if you are looking at a way to cut expenses, try a bottle of Maximum strength Anbesol (on sale at Walgreens right now) and give it about 10 minutes.  Then pluck away.  Hope this helps.  Now my eyebrows will cost me less than $6 a year instead of $88 a year.  And to think I only got my brows waxed only every 2 months or so.  OMG, I can’t believe I spent that much but it was worth it to me since I didn’t want a horrible brow line and couldn’t do it myself.  YEAH..  Another way to cut my bills.
