Lamas Lash Masque Keeps on Going
As my son’s wedding looms less than 2 weeks away, all I can think about is the day I went to Posh salon to get a manicure and there was this huge wedding party getting pampered for the big event later in the day.
The bride was getting the formal updo; french manicure, french pedicure and make-up done. Others were getting touch-ups and the mood was festive. I asked about the groom. He was playing blackjack with his best man at the MGM.
Let’s face it–guys have it easy. We spend ten minutes in the bathroom and we are out the door. It takes ten minutes just in the shower for a girl between deep conditioning, shaving and scrubbing. And the make-up and blow-drying adds at least another half hour.
This week I thought I would dedicate my blog to the art of being a woman and some of the secret products they use to look good.
Unless you live in a cave, you know eye products are the hottest category going. Women must have the plumpest eyelashes to walk out of the house or else they would rather stay home and watch reruns of Oprah. I think there are more than 1000 different eye products from mascaras (I think Maybelline has 10 different styles alone), enhancers, thickeners, growers, treatments and so forth.
One product that consistently ranks at the top is Lamas Lash Masque. This product darkens the eyelashes without color and also thickens without paraben-based ingredients (no eye irritation). I am amazed at how many pieces we sell each month.
I read recently that Lancome is stealing the Crest Spinbrush idea and applying it to mascara. This new product is battery-operated and applies mascara in a special way that you can forget about Oprah for weeks!
Yet another product that is sizzling in the marketplace is Enormous Lash. This product actually grows eyelashes so if you have thin lashes, this product is the ticket. At $100 it isn’t cheap but it’s at least $50 less than it’s nearest competitors.
I have no idea what the makeup artist used for the bride that day in the salon. However one thing for certain is that when the bride walked down the aisle, her eyes were perfectly done. Oh, I did hear later on that the groom made it home to take a quick shower, shave, and get the tux on in time to make the wedding.
Happy Monday!

That’s funny because it takes my husband longer to get ready in comparison to myself. Sometimes I don’t even bother with all the little details. Drying and products in the hair aren’t my thing either (i’ve been blessed w/good genes I guess). (-; HaHa!! That’s hush hush being in the beauty industry & all!!
Why don’t the same rules apply to men? Hhhuuumm?!!!
But I guess now’a days guys ARE taking better care of themselves or rather going into more details like us women. I even heard of a group of men who are into wearing skirts (besides the Scotts!).

yea, my husband is all about the 5 minute shower, brush the teeth, slap some gel in the hair, put some clothes on and walk out the door. He takes a total of about 15-20 minutes. Me on the other hand, I have to start at least an hour in advance. I take a 10 minute shower, hair takes at least 15-20 minutes to dry and straighten (it used to take longer before I chopped it all off) and make up is about 10 minutes. Then well…when it comes to getting dressed…Yea, that could take up to a half hour just to find something that I think looks good that day. And I could go through at least 3 different outfits before I choose one. lol! But that’s ok. I always try to look good….and that’s what matters:)

I used to take a long time to get ready in the morning.. now I pretty much have it down to a science. I have a 15month old running around so I have to be quick with getting myself ready! I take a shower at night to give myself more time in the morning. hair/makeup/and getting dressed takes me about 30min.. The weekends are a different story.. I throw a bandana on and go about my day.. and that just happens to be when I see EVERYONE I know !!!

ok…it’s funny you’re talking about women and appearance. I had a lady come in today, just after getting her eyebrows tattooed on. Can I tell you….THEY LOOKED AMAZING. Since God denied me the beautiful plentiful brows most women have, I find myself penciling them in daily. I am seriously considering getting this done!
I would buy the Spinbrush
Oh….and I treated myself to a french pedicure this weekend. Hadn’t had one in over a year.

We have a new product from Pauli of Vienna that is suppose to give you long, strong healthy eyelashes and eyebrows. 302422 Refectocil Longlash in the July/Aug new products section. I am a longtime buyer of Lancome mascara, I had a friend who worked at their counter and it is their #1 seller, it doesn’t suprise me that they would go after the spinbrush.
Guys do have it easy! Not fair.
