Spring's Strong Brow, Naturally
I’m a big brow fan; they frame the eyes, and add dimension to the face (they’re also great for keeping sweat out of your eyes!). I have naturally thick eyebrows, and keep them fairly thick – and since thick brows are a Spring trend, I may just grow them out…

Lead-Free Lipstick: Why You Should Nix Maybelline and L’Oreal, Plus Healthy Alternatives
