Messy Wands Turns One

2011

2012

A year ago my eyebrows looked like bat wings (and man, was I tanned).

Today, I cringe at my year-ago eyebrows and think mine look so much better now, but I bet next year we're going to have the same conversation about how ill drawn they were. 

I look forward to it.

    Happy first blogaversary! Yours is one that I could never be without, from the writing to the photographs and the products ... and of course your beautiful face.

    Heres to many many more (years of blogging ... and brow discussions, of course)!

    Oh wow. Even if you cringe at last years brows, I think they are definitely very striking. (I think it was the trend last year...LOL) Also you remind me of liu wen in the first picture.

    Congrats darling! I still remember your first day. My mad dash to be your first commenter and first to add you to my blogroll. Don't know how we could have survived this last year without your blog and your bat wings. ;-)

    I liked the tan! The eyebrows not so much (trend or not, never mess with the brows if you've found something that suits you)...but I guess you know that ;)

    Looking forward to more messy wands!

    Oh and the new lighting is awesome.

    Congratulations, Xiao! Here's wishing you all the blogging success you desire. BTW, I got a chuckle out of your bat wings. In my 68 years you can imagine how many brow trends--good and bad--I've seen come and go. Believe me, your bat wings weren't all that bad :-) Good luck in your second blogging year.

    Congratulations, Xiao! Your blog is one of my favorites to visit for window shopping, since your killer cheekbones and awesome photos make everything completely covetable. You also inspired me to try the LMdB lip cremes, and for that, I must thank you (so awesomeeee) and curse you ($36 apiece?!). I look forward to seeing what the next year will bring!
