12 Days of Holiday Beauty: Gimme Big Bold Lashes!

Photo Source: Unknown

Have you ever wondered why women in movies or on TV (some in real life) flutter their eyes to grab the attention of that special someone? The flutter of the lashes are an invitation to her world. Want to be the focus at every holiday gathering? Go big, go bold with your lashes.

If you weren’t born with naturally long and lush lashes, do not fear because the beauty market is saturated with products just for your lashes. Curl them, apply your most volumizing and lengthening mascara, apply some falsies, or look into lash enhancing treatments which I have a hunch will be big in 2011 (wink, LATISSE). Whatever you decide, the goal is to make those peepers pop!

Be daring and make those lashes stand out even more with a glittery mascara. Coloured mascaras are also fun and festive around this time of the year. Cobalt blue and purple mascaras will really enhance the colour of your eyes and make the whites of your eyes brighter.

No matter what the trend of the moment is, big lashes go with everything and never go out of style!

How do you get your lashes to stand out?

Quick Tip For Bleeding Lipstick

Beauty News: This Makeup Junkie Is In 24 Hours Today!


I'm thrilled to be in today's Toronto edition of 24 Hours! Check me out on page 22 talking about holiday beauty trends and Latisse, the first and only prescription eyelash growth treatment that is now available in Canada. In case you haven't heard, I am currently the beauty expert for Latisse and I've also been lucky enough to give this lash treatment a spin! It's only been a little over a month and I'm starting to see some growth and fullness.

If you're not familiar with Latisse it grows your natural lashes longer, fuller and darker. The results are significant as well! When I get a chance I will post some photos of my lash progress. Like the article says, if you try the product now you won't have lush lashes in time for your holiday parties. It takes 16 weeks to see full results. But hey, why not start the new year with long, beautiful lashes?? When you reach for your eyelash curler and mascara, it won't take much effort to get that flirty lash you've always wanted! Sounds good in my books! 

As with any cosmetic treatment, book an appointment with your physician to see if Latisse is right for you. Customers can only get this product with a prescription. Latisse has been clinically tested to safely and effectively grow your natural lashes. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me anytime!
