Dyeing Your Eyelashes? Why? What is Eyelash Tinting all about?
Most of us wear mascara all the time. With your busy life you just might start thinking that if my eyelashes were tinted you wouldn’t have to bother applying mascara, saving time in the morning getting ready.
But is eyelash tinting such a great idea after all?
Let’s start with, just what is eyelash tinting?
It’s a done at your salon by a well-trained and highly experienced esthetician who has trained to do it. You sit back; they place cotton pads under each eye as to keep the dye off your skin. They apply the dye to your lashes, wait about 15 minutes or so and your lashes are now dyed. If you wear contacts you will want to remove them before having lash tinting done. If done correctly you shouldn’t feel any stinging.
There are problems that could come up if you tried it at home, but there are kits for doing it at home.
Eyelash tinting takes a special type dye; you just can’t use hair dye like the type that you would use in coloring your hair. In fact the FDA prohibits the use of hair dyes for use as an eyelash tint or for tinting your brows. Did you know that the FDA requires that all hair-dye products including eyelash tinting come with instructions on how to perform patch tests before use just to be sure you do not have an allergic reaction. The health hazards about lash tinting ingredients have been known about for over 60 years.
What would be the allergic reactions? The allergic reaction to dye formulation could cause swelling, inflammation and possible lead to eye infections. This is why it is very important that it be done by a professional.
Do the benefits having your lashes tinted out way the risks?
If you are super busy, someone plays sports, swimmer etc eyelash tints might be something you could look into. Without having mascara smudges is a good idea. Also it is not recommended that you wear water-proof mascara all the time due to the damage it can use trying to remove it each night.
Also if you are sensitive to eye makeup, lash tinting by be a good idea. Always be sure to patch test before even thinking about having it done if you are sensitive to makeup overall.
Cost factor: Eyelash dyeing costs around $25 to $75 dollars depending. If you see it for less, be careful, it might be someone who is newly trained and just trying to bring in business doesn’t mean she knows what she is doing. Eyelash tinting is not permanent so if you see that, that is misleading. It’s really semi-permanent and lasts as long as your lashes do. The life style of your lashes is about 4 to 5 weeks which is why there is no way it should be called permanent makeup.
The best thing you should do it research for yourself about the benefits and risks and see if its really something right for you. This article is by no means s always it best to speak with your skincare professional to be sure you are using the correct products.
These are just guidelines and it’s up to you to find out what is best for your eyelashes.

One would think that smoky eyes are just for nighttime “come get me” look; with the right set of eye shadows colors, smoky eyes can become a great daytime option as well.
There are a few steps you need to think about when creating smoky eyes as a daytime option.
Step one: You need to decide what shade of eye shadows you are going to use. Dark, rich colors are amazing at night, but during the day not really your best option. What you want are really your more natural shades (browns, taupe’s, and grays) which will look softer. Colors that are not skin tones shades such as greens, blues and plums are going to stand more. The choice is yours but if you are really new at creating smoky eyes, natural colors are just easier to work with.
Step two: Choose a texture; are you going to wear shimmers or mattes? Shimmer shades of eye shadow can be easier to work with, as well as blend easier; mattes on the other hand require a bit more skill.
Step three: Use the flat side of your makeup brush to apply a base eye shadow or primer from lash to up under your eyebrow. Your base eye shadow should be a neutral shade, matte eye shadow, makeup primer or even foundation so that when you apply the other eye shadows, it will stay put. A neutral shade will also help neutralize your eyelid’s natural coloring. Remember to pick three eye shadows, a light, medium and dark all in the same coloring to work with, example browns, grays, taupe’s etc.
Step four: After applying your light eye shadow choice, you are going to want to apply your medium shade from the lash line to the crease of your eyelid. This is going to open and lift your eye up.
Step five: Using the pointy end of your makeup brush apply the same medium shade to your lower lash line. Start about the center of your lower lash line, just below your iris. Move the brush slowly back and forth so as not to overdo it. Smoky liner under your eyes can make your eyes look bigger, but it can exaggerate flaws like if you got close set eyes, or droopy corners. If your eyes are close set, you do not want liner all the way into the inner corners, which will just make your eyes look even smaller.
Step six: Take time to experiment with the thickness of liner under your lower lash line. Remember the idea is not a hard solid line; the more smudged and broken the better. But also be careful that you don’t look like you forgot to take your makeup off from the night before. The bedroom smudged look is just that, for the bedroom, not the office. Once you have learn what looks best on you its really easy to recreate smoky eyes daytime look every day.
Extra special step: If you want more definition, use a third eye shadow that is darker shade but still in the same family.
Apply a generous helping of mascara and your Magic Lash and there you go! A daytime smokey eyes you can wear every day..

What does Magic Lash have to do with Eyelash Growers?
Let me explain the differences between a eyelash grower and a eyelash enhancer. These two words get into change a lot and may cause some to be confused. Especially when you see the price of an eyelash grower against an eyelash enhancer. Big difference for sure!
They both do the same thing almost, one grows lashes that can take up to 8 weeks to grow, the other enhances what you already have. For those who have the time to wait 6 -8 weeks for long lush lashes, or really to need to grow lashes due to fall out, then a eyelash grower is what they need. Magic Lash is an Eyelash enhancer not a eyelash grower.

With fashion week come and gone, what was seen on the runways is starting to make huge waves on the streets and in the movies.
The year we are talking about making a bold statement, seen in makeup, nails and hair. Can we say 80’s anyone? Yes that is correct, the 80’s are back in a hipper, New York Style (Sex in the City 2). We are talking about seductive, purples, shimming coppers, gold’s and bronzers to your mute, earthy greens and blues.
For your nails comes rich, jeweled tones will become all the rage this fall. Why? Because it reflects the relaxed luxury that was seen all over the fall fashion runways. This fall will be about big everything, big hair, dramatic makeup, with big lush eyelashes just for starters. (Magic Lash will be a major hit for the cost conscious beauties).
News about hair will be it seems not everyone is ready to give up just yet their hair extensions, why when long hair is just plain sexy? All over the catwalks was your free-falling ‘I just got back from the beach unkempt look’. If you got hair extensions, keep them if not, now is not the time to start investing in them.

Every one of us looks at someone else and we all secretly want to look like them. They may have longer hair, longer legs, less around the middle, blue eyes against our brown eyes, blond hair against our black hair, I am sure you get the picture.
Instead of being happy with who we are – we want to look like someone else. There are women who take it too far – they have had so much cosmetic surgery, so nipped and tucked to the point you’re not sure any of the real body is still there! Here they are parading around like they much think they look great! Look close,
you will be able to see the scars that no cosmetic surgeon is going to be able to hide.
But are you really sure they are truly happy? Having any type of cosmetic surgery is a major deal and so very hard on your body. It’s not something you take lightly. You have got to do your research
just to be sure you will not get a doctor that will ruin your looks instead of improve them!
Have you ever thought they might be trying to hide from themselves and from the world? How do you know they don’t feel if they hadn’t had all this work done, that their lover/boyfriend/husband would not of stop loving them? In sometime in our life’s we will here about or may already heard about someone getting work done, and it ruins their life! You do not have to be famous to mess up. Anything you have done from shots to tummy tucks to face lifts, it is still a type of cosmetic surgery and just bad for your body all the
way around.
I have a short story for you.
I know someone who had work done. She had her chest enlarged 3 inches and her tummy tucked. You want to know the first words coming from her boyfriend’s mouth after she had all this work done?
“I’m leaving you, you’re too old for Me.”, Out of the mouth of a very ungrateful man. After she had gone under the knife, gone through pain just to please her boyfriend!
How would you feel, if after having some type of cosmetic surgery, the reason you did it was not yours but to please someone else, and then be told you’re too old? Its like all of a such you’re not good
enough for him. Doesn’t make it worth it, does it? When was the last time you looked into the mirror thinking I need to do something about such and such,(fill in the blank) and then I will look better! Or is it really feel better about myself? Those are tough questions.
How about this, instead of going under with a knife, why not drop the fork, go to the gym, and try wearing your hair in a different style? These are simple things that will in the end make you feel better
about you. Why not decide that you are going to try to learn to love that part of you that you feel needs to be fixed? Instead of thinking that having cosmetic surgery is going to bring him back or make him
love you more. If you don’t care about yourself, then no one can care about you.
I read a very interesting quote that goes perfect.
“Getting angry with yourself can be a good thing.” by Sylvester Stallone of all people!
He is reinventing himself at almost 50??? So why not try something today that changes your outlook on life? If nothing else why not talk to your doctor and get a good self-help book?
If you need to go through with cosmetic surgery for reasons you can not change, such as after having a child, then having surgery to save your life. Or even better, because you are going to help save someone’s life such as giving your kidney for a kidney transplant to save one of your family members. Not because you think that if you have cosmetic surgery, he will love you more as if have your face lifted is going to keep you younger? Giving a part of you that saved that family member to be around longer is so much better
than doing any try of cosmetic surgery because the latest craze. It hasn’t saved Joan Rivers, so I will leave you with this thought, why do you think it will save you?
