DAY 8: LOVE your LASHES

PROBLEM: My lashes are ... too short, too light, not thick, non-existent, etc.!

SOLUTION: Now there are sooooo many options to help your lashes.

The emphasis on Lashes has only sky rocketed since last summer.
There are great products on the market now to help even the wimpy-ist of lashes.

Lash growers and stimulators are amazing! Within 3 weeks you can see amazing results, longer, fuller, stronger lashes. Just remember, more isn't necessarily better when it comes to applying the product. Just once before bed and you are good. Also, once you see the result you want, you need to continue to use the product in order to maintain growth.

Lash tinting is a great option for light lashes. A tint can turn your lashes the blackest black (no more mascara) and will last up to a month!

Lash primers are a good option for those just wanting fuller, thicker lashes. Coat your lashes with the primer and allow to dry before following with your favorite mascara. The primer coats your lashes and builds a bigger, fuller base for your mascara to coat - great quick fix!

Those for you who want to feel like the queen of the ball every day should look into lash extensions. When done be the right, licensed and certified professional they look so natural you do not need mascara. They are similar to acryllic nails, you will be addicted to the longer, fuller lashes you will want to fill them every month. But if you just allow them to grow out with your natural lashes they can last for 2-3 months.

But you have a special night and you just want a fun look - false lashes are all the rage. Whether you slide in a few false individuals or apply a strip over your entire lid - you will love the dramatic effect it gives for the occasion.

So don't be afraid to explore and check out the lash options. You DON'T have to settle for wimpy lashes anymore! Have fun and you'll be surprised at what a difference your lashes make!

The eyes are the windows to the soul! So bat your lashes and have fun with it!

DAY 7: Beauty Tip (MAGIC of OXYGEN Facials)

PROBLEM: I want the red carpet look but don't want to spend a fortune... how do I get skin like the stars?

SOLUTION: The secret is finally out... all celebrities don't wake up looking perfect. But you use what they use as their secret weapon... OXYGEN!

Oxygen facials and treatments are sooooo good for you and the hottest treatment in Hollywood! They are great for anytime of season or specifically for a 'SPECIAL' day! Whether you are getting married, going to a party or reunion, have a great date, or strolling down the red carpet - you should try an oxygen facial.

We breath daily about 20% oxygen. Oxygen treatments provide about 92% oxygen and stimulate your blood cells and help penetrate topical products. Most treatments are incorporated into most signature deep cleansing facials. Basic cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating procedures remain the same. In addition, you receive 15 minutes of inhaled oxygen (similar to oxygen bars) and 15-20 minutes of topical oxygen treatment.

Oxygen hydrates, soothes, firms, tightens and cleanses skin like no other treatment! At the conclusion of the treatment, no makeup is needed and your skin glows and looks like you have just been airbrushed to perfection with makeup. The oxygen has NO SIDE EFFECTS and is perfect for EVERYONE and EVERY skin type.

OILY SKIN - benefits from calming and anti-bacterial properties
DRY SKIN - benefits from hydrating and exfoliation
COMBO SKIN - benefits from soothing and cleansing
SENSITIVE SKIN - benefits from anti-inflammatory and soothing
ANTI-AGING - benefits by brightening, tightening and firming because O2 stimulates collagen and elastin production

Everyone will LOVE this treatment, not only the acutal treatment but the IMMEDIATE results!
I am addicted and plan on treating myself to this EVERY MONTH!

DAY 6: MINERALS are good for you!

Problem: I don't like to wear makeup but want some coverage to protect my skin.

Solution: Mineral Makeup! So easy to use and good for your skin! It will lay on your skin and provide GREAT protection from environmental damage and sun. The minerals work with your own skin's oil and blend flawlessly. For people with drier skin types, you might need to mist your skin lightly with water or a toner after finishing your application.

For most people, as the day wears on, the makeup wears off - not with mineral makeup. As it stays on your skin and mixes with your oils, it looks better! I am addicted to mineral eyeshadows as well. I LOVE strong pigments in my eyeshadows and I want them to last on me. Mineral makeups have really delivered. They are so easy to blend into one another and they are still on at the end of the day. (My best friend is addicted too and she is a tough sell!)

There are alot of different brands out there - just try one and try another. Foundation shades are easy to match and eyeshadows are fun to play with! Enjoy looking good and protecting your skin without clogging your pores!

Let me know what you think!

All My Best! Michelle
