Well, I'm not sure if any of you actually noticed but I've just gotten my first brow resurrection done recently and I decided to share with you guys a little more on why I decided to and a brief explanation on how it works.
Haha no, I didn't just pop the wrong pills and decide randomly to post these old pictures of myself... But well as you can see from above, I still had visible eyebrows in 2011 and I didn't really bother about my brows mostly because I used to put my fringe down a lot more often.
But honestly they look quite terrible when I leave my forehead bare.
It was until late 2011, close to 2012 where I suddenly got all anal about my eyebrows and made the worst decision of my life. Which was to... Tweeze them on my own. Yea, so much for that spur-of-the-moment.
AND THEY NEVER GREW BACK AFTER SINCE. :(
Feels like how you face even fuglier scarring in the aftermath of deciding to squeeze your fugly zits impulsively. God knows why such foolhardy-people like me exist. Oh well.
Look at how my brows look like a literal line. OMFGCANSOMEONEKILLMENOW.
Oh not to mention, I didn't really took notice them until my haters started to remind me how hideous they were.
Butt hole. That's when I started to draw/fill in my eyebrows and realize I can never step out of my house without doing so.
cos I look like...
Hahahaha kidding, but...
Ok no, this is how it looks close up.
As you can see, I've been quite affected by it and I always wanted to get them tattooed so that I can avoid the hassle of drawing them all the time. Moreover, it's really quite a pain in the ass to do it everyday.
But I've also considered how they'll look when I grow old (Tattooed eyebrows fade into shades of green! I don't need spinach stuck on my forehead) and how it's irreversible once it's done. Besides, I have quite a number of friends who did it and their brows turned out quite unnatural too...
SO, POINT IS... I finally made a trip to Browhaus and that's when I got introduced to what brow resurrection is and decided to go for their latest semi-permanent treatment Brow Resurrection Natural.
What is Brow Resurrection?
Brow Resurrection is Browhaus’ signature semi-permanent treatment that uses a special technique that’s unique to Browhaus. It creates individual hair-like strands on the brows to give you a natural-looking finish. If you prefer a bold look, you can opt for their Brow Resurrection Define.
Here's the Browhaus outlet at 100AM!!! Super big and cosy.
All the information you need can be found on their shelves or you can speak to the customer relations officers to clear any doubts.
My brow specialist went through the treatment processes, consulted me what kind of brows I wish to attain and discussed with me what type of brows suit my face shape and features the most. She also recommended me a brow colour that will suit skin tone & hair colour. Enough said, let the pictures do the talking!
Wtf I look like a corpse waiting for god to retrieve my soul....
So first, she shaped my brows by getting rid of all the unwanted hair.
Then she filled in my eyebrows with a pencil to let me check out the design and see if I'm satisfied first!
A before & after picture of the brow design.
After I gave my Brow Specialist the green light on the brow design, the treatment process started!
I know I look stupid BUT please don't judge :(
Anyway if you're also interested in getting waxed, Strip is located right next to Browhaus!!! Convenient hur?
I really love how each room is specially designed and how everything's uniquely customised.
Fix - is an anti-scarring balm with Vitamins A, D and Lanolin, which help to fix skin wounds. Vitamins A and D aids the skin healing process while Lanolin creates a protective layer over the wound to prevent skin infection. Fix also moisturizes and prevents dryness.
Build - consists of Growth Factors to help repair and regenerate new skin cells that have been weakened or damaged. It is imperative for locking in the colour to prevent fading or smudging.
To use, cleanse and apply a thin layer of Build over the brow area followed by Fix. You can use the aftercare as needed, in addition to the twice a day standard application. For best results, do avoid contact with water for the first week, including swimming / vigorous exercise and facials.
HERE COMES THE EXCITING PART!!!

ABOUT ME
Hey there! I share about anything and everything here. You can choose to leave, but I think you should get to know me a little more before you pass your judgement. Check out my FAQ section if it helps.
Who are you?
I'm Naomi, better known as Naomi Neo, and I'm born on the 25th of January 1996. I don't have any siblings, but I'm grateful to have the best parents in the world, who love me unconditionally, and a best friend Trixy who's been there for me for the past 5 years. Currently titled as the youngest "Celebrity Blogger" under my management, Gushcloud - With approximately 124k likes & followers on my Facebook profile and page, 80k followers on twitter and 116k on Instagram currently.
What are you known for?
Honestly, I've no idea what am I known for in majority's eyes, but here's what I presume and hope to be recognised for - I've been writing on all my social platforms since 2009, and got kind of known from writing my thoughts and views on Facebook. My first blog post that went viral was an entry dedicated to my good friend back then, titled "Mothers," in late 2010. Noticing the positive results, I decided to take blogging a little more seriously in 2011. Since then, I've been told that my posts were relatable and inspiring to many, which hence, got me to where I am today.
How well to do is your family? You seem rather spoilt.
I think I'm just average and if you think I'm wealthy rich and spoilt, you're so wrong. I mean yes, my parents do pamper me cos I'm the only child, but I've never taken their money since 2013. And I pay for all my clothes, accessories, make up and 90% of my daily necessities from the money I earn.
What are your stats?
I'm a UK 4 or 6, I've been stuck between 38kg - 40kg. Since I've never really talked about my height, you can deduce I'm exceptionally short and I'm not proud of it - So if you know it, good for you. If you don't, too bad I'm not revealing it. :p
Are you single?
Yes I am. My last relationship was in 2013, and I'm not seeing anyone at the moment.
Do you photoshop your pictures?
No, I don't. Cos I honestly have no idea how to use that crazily complexed software. Ok, it's not very complicated I suppose. I'm just god damn lazy. I only use it to design my texts etc. However, I've been using PicMonkey to edit my pictures. Yeah I know, the main question's still back to whether I "beautify" myself or not. Er, I've no idea what's up with people constantly harping on this issue. The last time I claimed that I don't, was probably in 2012 (which I really didn't back then) But along the way, I figured it was necessary to "upgrade" myself and learn how to. If I can't do plastic surgery, at least make my pictures look chio what. If you know how to, question is, WHY NOT? And, don't you guys wanna see nice pictures too?!?! However I'd like to emphasise that - I do not beautify myself in all my pictures. I only do so when I feel the need to. And 3/4 of the time, I only make adjustments to my gigantic, elephant legs WHICH I admit, I'm very insecure about. So don't tell me my legs are damn nice la, cos some pictures are deceiving. Anyway, I've tons of videos everywhere... Judge for yourself?
Did you have any plastic surgery done?
No I didn't. Firstly, I could not afford to. Secondly, even if I do have the money, my parents are definitely not open to the idea. Thirdly, if I have the money and my parents' consent... OH PLEASE, I would have made myself look a zillion times better than how I am now. So some of you may ask, why is it that I have parallel eyelids. I've mentioned this before, but since some of you are too lazy to find out the truth - Fyi, I am born with double eyelids to begin with, I just wanted to have parallel instead of tapered eyelids. And in case you're really sensitive about it, I'm not saying tapered's not nice... It's just personal preference. In case you don't know what I'm talking about...
So yeah, I tried using eyelid tapes for about 6 months in 2011, and miraculously, have permanent parallel lids since then. I think I'm really lucky. Why do I say so? Cos it doesn't work for everyone.
Don't you think it's better to be natural?
Unfortunately, not everyone's blessed with natural beauty. And even though I've never claimed to be ugly, I've never claimed to be pretty by nature either. I won't deny I've been rather extravagant when it comes to the amount of money I spend on things to beautify my physical appearance, cos sadly, it is important to look good in this society today. You can read more on my views about physical appearance (here). And I don't see anything wrong with wanting to look good or better. Everybody wants to. If you tell me you value natural beauty, I'm cool with it, but if you tell me about your self-righteous logic on how it's wrong to enhance your appearance... Fuck you, go marry a plant since you like it natural.

Fuck you, go marry a plant since you like it natural.
Are you insecure about your looks?
Yes I am, to a certain extent. I believe you would too, if you have a hundred people reminding you about your flaws every single day. But the thing is, I love myself. So I've accepted that's it's fine not to be perfect.
Do you think you're attention seeking?
Most ridiculous question ever. My question to you is, are you not? This is probably my millionth time saying this, but I think everyone seeks for attention. The only thing that differentiates each of us would be the miles we would travel for it. From a level of - I want attention to Kim Kardashian, it's just a matter of fact how much you want it. And I see absolutely nothing wrong with it unless you're doing something despicable, and harming someone to your own benefits. Besides, no matter how much I love it - It may sound ironic, but I hate unnecessary attention. I only like it when it's for something I worked hard to gain. If you know me well enough, I'm not the kind who would go nude just to get myself to where I want. (Just an example)
How do you deal with your haters?
I've been receiving nasty comments since the day I had a blog, in 2007. I've seen the worst, and it came to a point where it amuses me, because I actually get to find out things I didn't know about myself. I used to care so much, I would cry myself to bed on most nights and I even had issues stepping out of my house at a period of time. However, it took me years to realise how stupid it is to reciprocate to what people who don't me have to say, especially stories/rumours they fabricate. I'm fine with constructive criticisms because I've learnt to take it the positive way - Helping me to improve and get better. Of course it still pisses me off at times when I see untrue stuff about me circulated around by my haters, and I'd either ignore it (if it's nothing too serious) or address it, in other words, stand up for myself (if I find a need to.) And when I ignore it, I don't look at it in a way where I'm a coward or I admit to it - I just find it a waste of time to acknowledge the existence of these people, when most of them are just dying to get my response from their juvenile remarks. Yet when I retaliate, (which I rarely do these days) I only do so when something's getting out of hand. Like if it's tarnishing my reputation or sort. After all, I'm a girl. And I wouldn't "just ignore it" if it affects my name. If I don't stand up for myself, who would? Then again, I don't think that means I care about my haters - I just care about myself enough to want to shut your mouth. Besides, I can stop 1, 2 or 3 people from talking about me, but how many times can I do so? Fact is, you can't please everyone. So it's either you focus on what you have, or waste your life by dwelling on what you don't. And for those friends who decided to leave and hate me for what others have to say? Here's a big... THANK YOU. Haha, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have realised who my real friends were.
Do you think you deserve what you have now?
Honestly, I've always felt that I don't in a way, cos of how affected I used to be about what people have to say - "There are better looking people out there," "You are not good enough!" etc. However, I've came to a realisation that it's impossible to be the best. Cos there will always be someone better, no matter how good you think you are. And as long as I think I've done my best, I don't see why I don't deserve to be where I am today. I've worked so hard for the things I have, and it's not like everything I have is an overnight success. So too bad if you beg to differ and think that a) I'm only here due to my looks, which I think is completely senseless, cos if it was just about my looks, I wouldn't have been around after so long - Taking into consideration, the ever-rising number of good-looking people there are today. b) it's bcos of what I write, cos I definitely won't claim to be the best writer. Somehow it's still a mystery to me why people still read my blog until today. c) and it's probably cos you don't know me well enough. I definitely agree that someone out there deserves this so much more than I do, but I guess it's true that life's unfair, and I'm sorry I have no control over it.
