EyeLash Extensions by Courtney

What Are Lash Extensions?

Lash Extensions are a glamorous new way to extend the length and thickness of natural eyelashes, and are a practical, convenient and beautiful alternative to the daily use of mascara.  Unlike decades-old, traditional false lashes, lash extensions are the first innovation in lash lengthening that can be worn daily, without nightly removal.  Because each tapered, synthetic lash is bonded to a single natural lash, the final result is of effortless glamour and difficult to detect even close up. 

How Long Do They Really Last?

When properly applied, using Platinum Bond Adhesive, lash extensions can be worn throughout the year with minimal monthly maintenance.  Touch-ups are recommended after the initial full set application to refill any lashes that have cycled out.  To maintain the full, thick appearance of a new set of lashes a visit to your beauty/lash professional is recommended every 2-3 weeks based on your own natural lash growth cycle.

Can Lash Extensions Harm Natural Lashes?

When applied properly, lash extensions will not harm natural lashes.  The Lash application technique allows natural lashes to grow and thrive with extensions.  This technique requires several different “separation” steps during the application process so each extension is adhered to a single natural lash in order to prevent interruption of the lash growth cycle.  

Can Mascara Be Used With Lash Extensions?

Mascara is typically not needed with lash extensions.  Mascara should only be used when a touch-up is drawing near.  Water-soluble mascara can be worn; however constant use of mascara may shorten the lifespan of lashes.  Waterproof mascara is not recommended for use, as it will dissolve the bond with the lashes.

After Care Instructions

 Before Your Appointment

• To maximize your time with your lashes, remove all makeup in your eye area, including foundation, eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, eye creams, and eye serums.
• Clean your lashes gently but thoroughly to remove any residual oils or mascara.
• Shower and wash your hair.
• Do not curl your lashes the day of your appointment.
• Do not apply heavy creams, lotions, or oils to your face in the 48 hours before your appointment.
• Do not tint or perm your lashes in the 48 hours before your appointment.
• Consult your doctor before your appointment if you are pregnant, are taking medication, suffer from any medical conditions or allergies, or are recovering from any medical procedure.

In the 24 Hours After Your Appointment:

• Avoid exposing your lashes to water, heat, saunas, steam, and friction.
• Do not apply any eye cosmetics or skin care products to your lashes or eye area.
• When you shower, limit your time and water temperature.
• Do not get your lashes wet if you shower. You must avoid steam and water in the first 24 hours to ensure a strong bond and prevent eye irritation.
• Sleep on your back to avoid friction and tangling.
• Do not tint or perm your lashes.
• Avoid receiving irritating treatments, including brow waxing, in your eye area.

Tips 

• Using a lint-free cloth or facial tissue and an oil-free cleanser, you can gently cleanse your face, avoiding the lash line area. The cloth should be slightly damp but not wet, to avoid any chance of dripping from the forehead into the eye area. Dry your face by patting gently with a lint-free cloth, while carefully avoiding any contact with your lashes.

Layered Jewelry

Sometimes, more is actually more. At least when it comes to certain types of jewelry. Who can resist a wrist stacked with different bracelets, each an individual statement in its own right, as a way to pile on a little personality? At first, I thought this was maybe a strategy for summer only—especially when it comes to beads—but since I spotted it on Vogue.com last week, I have been testing it out.  Good news: This is an easy look-changer that has serious staying power for fall.



Happy stacking,

Something that has really caught my attention this season is colour blocking trend. It is not a new trend as such but is definitely back with a big bang.

Colour block fashion is one of the hottest new trends for the season. It combines the use of two or more blocks of colour in an ensemble. This could be for a top, bottom, tunic, a dress and even a handbag or shoes. Simply it means – creating an outfit by putting areas or blocks of solid color next to each other. It can include monotone, bright colours, muted colors, contrasting and complimentary colors. Clothes, shoes, handbags and accessories can all feature color block designs or can make up different blocks of color to be put together for a color block outfit.

Why do you need to be careful while following the color block trend?
Since they often involve the use of bright colours or many different colours together, it is easy to go wrong with it. The best way to pair colour block trends whether it’s for shoes, a tunic or a top is with other basic colours such as black, white, brown and gray. This way your colour block will pop out more and look more polished.

So, go on and have fun blocking colors
