My Eyelashes are Growing — Look out Brooke Shields

December 18, 2009 / No Comments

So almost two weeks ago I started using NeuLash — a product that promises lash growth. And I can’t believe that it’s working. I haven’t used it every night, per the directions, but I am still having amazing results. Today my daughter looked at my naked lashes and said, “Mom, your lashes are so long!” I’m sold. I can’t wait until the tube is gone and I have my lush lashes of yesteryear.

I was gifted my neuLash, but at $150 a pop, it better work. If you are seriously needing to repair your lashes, I suggest that you check it out. Unlike the other lash enhancement product out there, you don’t need a prescription.

A couple downsides that are very minimal:

My eyelids feel dry in the morning
I have a little irritation right after application

Other than that, I’m good to go! I will post my after picture when I finish the tube. Look out Brooke Shields!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!Cancel reply

10 Winter Must-Haves for Your Closet

Now that winter is upon us, it’s time to upgrade your wardrobe and add some essentials for the cold to your closet. This way, you can stay warm as the temperatures drop. Here’s a list of must-haves for winter that you should definitely not miss out on. 1. Sweater You can’t complete your winter essentials without adding a sweater to your closet. In fact, a warm sweater should be one of the first things you get for this cold weather. While it’s easier to shop for men’s sweaters, women’s sweaters are a different story. But to find the perfect fit, think about the style that best suits your body shape. Do crewnecks or V-necks look more flattering on you? What material is soft on your skin? You can also buy a cashmere sweater for a more luxurious look or a beautiful sweater in a unique color to make your outfit pop. 2. Turtleneck A turtleneck is a versatile must-have that you can wear alone or pair with skirts, pants, or jeans. They’re also a great option to wear under a summer dress to protect your skin as the evening approaches and the temperature falls. 3. Cardigan A cardigan is another must-have. In particular, long cardigans are a great option as they help you look slimmer and taller. They are also a great option if you want to hide your body shape. 4. Long-sleeved tops Winters are all about layering yourself, and a long-sleeved top serves as a nice, warm layer under your clothing. 5. Leather jacket Leather jackets are best for transitional weather so that you can wear them over your summer fashion items as it starts to get a little cold. Plus, it’s always easy to style a women’s leather jacket. For instance, you can wear long layers underneath a short leather jacket to create a unique outfit. 6. Casual coat While both short and long winter coats are a staple, you should consider getting a casual coat. These are best if you are just going out for a cup of coffee with your friends or if you just want to have a lazy day. 7. Shacket If you’re following the latest beauty hacks and trends, you might have come across a shacket, which is essentially a hybrid of a shirt and jacket. It’s a cool and trendy way to upgrade a simple outfit! 8. Leggings or pants Protecting your legs from the cold is also essential, which is why you should invest in a good, cozy pair of winter leggings. The best thing about leggings is that they are easy to style, and you can pair them up with a sweater, long shirt, or even a dress. We recommend fleece-lined leggings to stay warm. If you don’t like leggings, you can always go for winter pants. These also go well with sweaters. In fact, black winter pants are so versatile that you can style them with almost every outfit. 9. Jeans Jeans are an all-year-round essential, and it’s easy to style jeans with your winter tops. Plus, you can use them for both casual and semi-casual events. And apart from regular jeans, you can also opt for skinny jeans and style them with knee-length booties! 10. Leather skirt A great thing about winters is that you can play around with different textures and fabrics. And one of the best clothing accessories to experiment with is a leather skirt. Whether you pair it with a sweater or a blouse, it will look great! Gear up today! These are just some of the winter must-haves for this season. Of course, there are a plethora of others, like boots, hats, and scarves, that you should definitely check out. Remember, your closet should reflect your personal style, so make sure you purchase items you really like!

Curvature—Curvy Girl Body Care: Indie Lee’s Java Fix—DIY Coffee Body Scrub

We are in the throes of winter and that means that we layer more clothes and may tend to neglect steps to keep our skin it’s glowing best. For best summer skin, exfoliation and moisturizing are essential for glorious skin. Well, when you take it all off, don’t you want the same silky soft skin you were showing off last summer? Of course you do. It can be prohibitive using a luxe body scrub on a daily basis, so why not save your precious body exfoliatior for a special occasion, and instead “cook up” one in your kitchen that’s just as effective and delicious. Indie Lee, founder of the all-natural skincare line Indie Lee & Co, shares one of her at-home recipes for an all-natural scrub containing her favorite ingredient: coffee. The caffeine works to dehydrate fat cells and when broken down, acts as a natural exfoliant. The upside? The caffeine helps reduce the appearance of cellulite! Caffeine Addiction at Its Best: Reduce the Appearance of Cellulite and Exfoliate Naturally What You Need: · ½ ounce of sweet almond oil · 2 tablespoons coffee grinds (espresso roast) · 5 tablespoons coconut oil · ¾ cup of arrowroot powder (natural alternative to talc powder) How to Make It: 1. Combine coffee grinds and sweet almond oil in a large bowl and mix. 2. Add coconut oil and mix well. 3. Fold in the arrowroot powder. Make sure all the coconut clumps are gone. *Indie Tip: She likes to keep the mixture refrigerated for a day to make it easier to scoop out, like butter.

Product Review—Skin Care: Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil—It’s a Keeper!

Winter weather can really put your skin under stress and if you’re in a cold part of the country like I am, it’s extremely important to keep your skin well moisturized. Lately, I’ve been into oils to help defend my skin against the harsh weather and was thrilled to try Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil that I’d been hearing rave reviews about. About Tarte Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil: What it is: A 100 percent pure organic maracuja oil. What it does: This undiluted organic and moisturizing maracuja oil quickly absorbs for firmer, brighter, smoother skin. Pure maracuja oil is rich in vitamin C, so skin appears instantly brighter and more radiant, as well as essential fatty acids (EFAs), a requirement for healthy skin cells that the body cannot produce on its own. EFA deficiency can result in the breakdown of essential skin cells which causes skin to appear dry and aged. By supplementing skin with pure maracuja oil, you are infusing life back into dull skin and replenishing EFAs to rapidly rebuild and repair. This potent antiaging elixir that has anti-inflammatory benefits promotes active skin recovery and delivers maximum hydration without any greasy or filmy feel. My Results: Since first using Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil I knew that my skin loved everything about the oil. Never leaving a greasy feeling, the oil has visibly improved my skin, leaving it more luminous and hydrated. After thoroughly cleansing the skin I apply the oil nightly before bed and in the morning my face looks and feels amazing. I’ve benefited so much from the Maracuja Oil that I will probably start using the oil throughout the year. Bling Factor: Pro: Non-greasy, Paraben free, Mineral Oil Free Con: N/A Price: $48 Buy Again: Yes Packaging: 5 Blings The oil arrives in a really cute case and beautiful purple and gold glass bottle. Overall: 5 Blings
