Eyebrow Raising Experience

In between exploring and reporting the Marina district, a girl has got to pamper herself, so I did just that at Benefit Cosmetics located at 2219 Chestnut St. I’ve always been an avid lover of Benefit Cosmetics and I own a few of their products but I have never experienced their infamous Brow Bar that almost all of my friends rave about.

So on Saturday, Jan. 15, I decided to pop into the cute and quaint beauty shop located in the heart of Chestnut Street and give my eyebrows some love. As soon as you walk into the shop, you automatically feel prettier or that things are about to get polished. Benefit Cosmetics was originated in San Francisco by two Indiana farm twins, Jane and Jean Ford, who moved to San Francisco to explore another side to beauty.

After signing into the walk-in list that was filled with San Franciscan women who have made this place their eyebrow haven, some appointments made months in advance, I waited till it was my turn to experience the eyebrow transformation. After the fastest 15 minutes wait of my life, I got my eyebrows threaded and plucked (you have an option to wax as well) by Suzette and I came into the bustling Chestnut Street with a new eyebrow-confidence that was well worth the $23. In the end, it would be a major understatement to say that I will definitely be visiting the Brow Bar at Benefit Cosmetics every time my eyebrows need to be tamed. If you’re interested in a eyebrow or beauty makeover you can call your closest Benefit Cosmetic store to make an appointment or just walk-in like I did!
