Flutter.

OK Ladies, admit it.  We have all looked at sleeping small children and thought to ourselves, how did they ever get those long lashes?  Especially little boys for some funny reason . . .

And yet we stand in front of our makeup mirrors, again with the mascara wand in hand, brushing our lashes into clumpy yet longer lengths and think ‘there must be a better way’?  Well girls, I’m going to let you in on the next big thing… eyelash extentions!

Mascara.  We all have woken up to dusky circles under our eyes from sleeping in it, paniced if we are on a trip and forgot to bring it, put it on our ‘if left on a desert island’ list and read countless advertisements for the newest, best wonder wand for most even application.  Can you imagine all this being a thing of the past?   The skin under my eyes just breathed a sigh of relief.

In about an hour with our skilled lash expert Holly, you can be transformed from a skimpy lashed lass into a full blown lash diva.  The process is a completely painless, somewhat pleasant experience as lashes are individually glued onto your existing lash.  The result is instant (don’t  we all just LOVE instant gratification?)

I just can’t stop fluttering.  Bus drivers stop where there is no bus stop.  The grocery clerk keeps flirting with me.  Policemen refuse to give me tickets.  Hmmm, am I on to something?

Imagine cutting the time it takes to get ready in the morning.  You just can’t get these kind of results with mascara.  Instead of glopping on product with a messy and potentially bacteria laden wand, you can just apply your favorite eye shadow and dash out the door.  All that’s needed for makeup removal is a quick swipe with oil free makeup remover.  Wash your face gently in the shower, no need to worry about the spray.  Just no rubbing your eyes!!!  Believe me, your eyes will thank you.

If you are looking for a double whammy, there is a new product called Latisse.  This is from the same company we have come to know and love as the producers of botox.  The lash growing ingredient in Latisse was discovered when scientists were working on a drug to control eye pressure.  The side effect was lash growth.  Now that’s my idea of a side effect!  It was patented, so Latisse is the only eyelash growth serum that actually contains the formula.  It’s applied nightly with a wand for sanitation and is applied similar to eyeliner.  Only the top lashes please!   Dramatic results in two months, and can be used in conjunction with eyelash extensions.  After a few months with Latisse, your extensions might also be a thing of the past!

Now since they are not infallible, you will lose your lashes naturally as your own lashes shed.  This means you will need to have them filled in occasionally.  It’s a much faster process that the initial application, and will keep you full and fluttering always.  I figure I’m in the nail salon much more often and always maintain beautiful hands.  Even more important is maintaining a beautiful face! 

Come in for your set soon.  I’ll wink at you when I see you 😉
