Glitter Lashes!

Blue hair and silver eye lashes
There is nothing like a pair of glittering false lashes
to complete a funky night on the town look or a fun Halloween costume. 

They may look tricky to apply but I will give you a few tricks to get them looking fabulous along with some Amazon Affiliate links to help you find the best products!

How to apply Glitter Lashes

Prime
Add eye shadow primer to your eye lid in preparation for your glittery eye shadow which you will apply after the lashes. My all time fav is Urban Decay Primer Potion.

Liner
Start by applying black pencil liner to your upper lash line to 
help conceal the false lash band. One of my favorite pencils is the Maneater Self Sharpening Eye Liner Pencil.

Get the liner in between your natural lashes for a nice solid line to conceal the skin at the base of the lashes.

 Curl & Mascara
Curl your lashes and apply a light coat of black waterproof mascara. Let it dry. Too Faced Better than Sex Waterproof Mascara is the best!!!

Curled lashes make an easy shelf, if you will, to plop the false lashes on top of. 

Waterproof mascara helps the lashes maintain their curl. 

Fit the Strip
Lay the lash strip on top of your lashes to check that the length of the band fits your eye. Trim the lash strip from it's outer edge if it is too long.

 Apply the Lashes  
Apply a thin layer of lash glue to the lash strip and let it become tacky for about 2-3  minutes.  Apply the lash strip to the skin close to your upper lashes, press it gently in place, and hold it for a few seconds to set. 

 Let the glue dry.  A milky white glue will turn clear.  A black glue will stay black.


Add Glitter Shadow
Add a little glitter shadow. The best way to apply powdery glitter eye shadow is with your finger. 

Dip your finger in the shadow pot then press the shadow onto your eyelid. This helps to minimize the glitter fall out onto your upper cheek area.


Applying the glittery eye shadow after the lashes are applied conceals the false lash band with a glittery layer.

Don't waste your with those self adhesive lashes. They just not sticky enough to stay in place.  

Most lash adhesives contain latex.  Read the labels and look for non latex glue if you are allergic to latex.

Have fun wearing your lashes. They always make you feel beautiful and sexy!
Let's get Glitzy!
       Have a Beautiful Day!

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.

Why does my lipstick change color on my lips?

So, you found a gorgeous shade of peachy nude lipstick.... right on trend. It looks amazing in the lipstick tube but when you put it on, it turns orange within 15 minutes!  It happens to me all the time. Pigments in the lipstick react with the chemistry of the skin and change color. This color shift is due to the pH of the skin. Our skin has an acidic pH of 4.5 to 5.5. It varies slightly from person to person which is why lipstick changes on some people and not others.  The oil, sweat and bacteria on our skin create a protective layer called the acid mantle with its pH of 4.5 to 5.5. The acid mantle can change due to how we treat our skin.  The skin pH can change due to the environment.  The sun, as well as pollution, can affect skin's pH.  What we eat can affect the pH of our skin.  Sweating and cosmetic products can also change pH.  The skin will always try to get back to 4.5-5.5 no matter how we abuse it.  Use gentle pH balanced skin care products, eat a healthy diet w

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j
