Cry Baby Semi-Permanent Mascara

Semi-permanent mascara is the newest thing to hit the beauty industry.  Cry Baby is a professionally applied semi-permanent mascara that will give you 2 weeks of volume, length, color and curl.  It's 100% waterproof and smear-proof, and is perfect for a vacation or special occasion.

Now, in my opinion, SPM will in no way replace eyelash extensions.  If you can afford it, get the extensions!  When applied correctly, they are absolutely gorgeous!  But if you don't want the commitment of extensions and just need a break from applying mascara and the raccoon eyes that come along with it, than Cry Baby is definitely the way to go.

If you want to become a Cry Baby you can book your appointment on my website.  Just click on the "Book Now" button on the top right on any page of my website, or at the top of my blog page.  A full set is $40 for a limited time.

If my location is not convenient for you, you can go to the Cry Baby website where you can locate a certified stylist in your area.

Give it a try...I think you'll like it!

Car Lashes

I finally got my car lashes!  I love them!  I even got the "bling eyeliner".  My husband is being very supportive (we'll have to wait and see if he drives it anymore), but my boys are mortified and have vowed never to be seen in my car again.  Of course my daughter loves them as much as I do.  I'm sure the boys will fold when they want a ride to the skatepark or the beach.  Or maybe I'll end up being one of those moms that has to drop her kids off a block away from school.

Because my car is black, they aren't as noticeable as some, but they still catch peoples eye on the road and are so fun!  I know, I know...I am totally obsessed with eyelashes, but I just can't help it.  My friends have said I should bling out the lashes to make them more noticeable.  We'll see...I don't want to completely throw my boys over the edge...YET!  Hmmm...this might make for some interesting punishments, bribery, etc... 

If you want a pair of your own, check out www.carlashes.com.  They will work on any car's headlights.  They have some great pics on their website and Facebook page.  They are $25 for the lashes and $20 for the crystal eyeliner.

Extensions on Bottom Lashes

So, I've had my new eyelash extensions on for about a week and I am loving them!  It has saved me so much time in the morning with my makeup.  But I was still having to put mascara on my bottom lashes.  I've been practicing doing bottom extensions on my sister and have been really happy with the results, so I decided to give it a try on myself.  They came out really good...almost exactly the way they look with mascara.
The above picture is of my eyes without ANY mascara...just eyelash extensions on top and bottom lashes.  I am now one of the few lash artists offering bottom lash extensions.  Book now so you can have a mascara free summer!

Loving My Eyelashes!

Well, I finally got my eyelash extensions put back on and I am loving them!  It's been over a year since my eyelash extension friend and I have been able to get our schedules worked out so we could "lash" each other.  I hope I am never without them again!!  I love not having to put mascara on them.  I always spent so much time on my eyelashes...I'd put on a coat of mascara, use a corsage pin to separate them and repeat the process at least one more time.  Now, I just brush them into place when I get out of the shower and do the rest of my makeup.  Love it!!  I am now going to practice putting bottom lashes on so I can ditch the mascara altogether.

If you, or anyone you know in the La Habra area are interested in getting them put on, I am offering 25% off any eyelash extensions procedure for "liking" my TLC Facebook Fan Page.  Please see my website for before and after pictures of my work.

How cute are these??

Summer fun koozies for beer bottles, red cups, cans and water bottles.  Also available in cheetah, pink swirls on black and polka dots. 
Water and beer bottles-$15
Can and red cup-$12
Email me if you're interested.

Summer is almost here!

What better time to get beautiful, waterproof, smudgeproof eyelash extensions? How great would it be to come up out of the pool with gorgeous, long lashes instead of black mascara running down your face? I will be adding bottom lashes to my menu soon, so stay tuned...they look amazing!

And while we're at it, how about a golden spray tan to go with your new lashes? I know you don't want to put that bikini on a ghostly white body. It's the perfect way to start out the summer. Just be sure to wear sunscreen if you will be in the sun for an extended amount of time, because a spray tan does not offer any protection from the sun. I know the sun is taboo to most, but I personally prefer my vitamin D naturally. I just avoid overexposure.

So if you're ready, you can click on the "book now" button above and reserve your appointment. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment or email me at any time. Mention my blog and receive 25% off any set of eyelash extensions.

Happy sunshine!!

Ebates!

Ok, I know this is a little off topic, but have you ever tried Ebates? Well, I have and I have to say it's great! All you do is sign up and then whenever you do any online shopping go there first to see if the store you're shopping at is on there, click on it and Ebates will redirect you to the store's website where you do your shopping. Most stores offer a percentage back, some have coupons. Ebates will then send you a check for the percentage that store offered. So easy! There are hundreds of stores on there too...Old Navy, Target, Snapfish, Sephora...just to name a few. So far I have received $89.52 back from Ebates.

If you'd like to sign up you can click on the link. They don't bug you with a bunch of emails or anything and you don't have to use it even if you sign up. But why not save money on something you were going to buy anyway?

It's Official!

I will be working out of my new studio starting on May 5th. I'm so excited! My room is in a little shop and it's big enough for me to do both my lash extensions and spray tanning. They will also let me display my Swarovski things too!
I will also be using an online booking system, so I'll have a "booking" button on my blog and website within the next few days.
Now it's time to shop, shop, shop to get things nice and cozy.
