Skyy Hadley shares her tips on how to maintain lash extensions

unnamed

Say good bye to raccoon eyes and hello to less time spent in front of the mirror. Celebrity beauty guru and owner of As U Wish Nail Spa Skyy Hadley, shares her tips on the different kinds of lashes to get, how to maintain them, and how to prep your natural lashes for the best application.

“Depending on your career, the events you’re attending on a monthly basis, or just your general lifestyle, there are different lengths and thickness levels of the lashes you can get. If you want a more stand out look because you have a special event, go for it! If you want a more toned down natural look, we can do that too,” says Skyy Hadley. “These lashes stay on for 60-90 days, that’s 2 months! It all depends on how you take care of them and the rate your natural lash falls out since the extension is applied directly onto the natural lash.”

“Lash Extensions are easy to maintain. The first twenty-four hours before application are crucial for a strong bond. You should clean your original lashes with oil-fee makeup remover, keep your lashes dry, free of mascara and avoid touching them. Avoid swimming, the Spa and oil based products after the lashes have been applied for up to 48 hours. Care is fairly simple after that. Cleanse your lashes regularly and be gentle. Your lashes are resistant to water, sweat and tears.

Medicate, heal and sooth with Carmex

Do you have chapped lips or an extremely painful cold sore? Grab your Carmex. Now in many yummy flavors to choose from, the possibilities are endless.

I have been using my Carmex products a lot lately because Florida has been getting chilly and my lips have been very chapped. Also, being on the run I sometimes forget or don’t have time to put lips on. The beauty of the Carmex products is I can have the jar sitting on my nightstand, put the stick in my purse or even have one to put in an over night bag. Its like there is one for any occasion. Not only that but also a flavor for every taste bud.

Carmex

Carmex

Let’s go back in time & start with the one that started it all. The iconic white jar with yellow lid filled with Carmex’s very own medicated formula. The original formula contains camphor & menthol for a cooling pain relief and petrolatum to act as a Band-Aid for healing. I love to put this one on my nightstand and apply right before I go to bed. While I’m sleeping it seems to really penetrate into my skin leaving me with softer, less painful lips when I wakeup in the morning.

That brings me to the Carmex stick and moisture plus products. The stick, like I said, I will throw one in my purse for use throughout the day under my lipstick or gloss or even by itself. Its full of shea butter for added moisturize & even SPF so lips do not get sunburnt. The moisture plus come in a variety of fun, funky packages and are great for a night on the town. I mean seriously. The packaging is perfect for a little added decoration and we can’t forget soft, kissable lips. Who doesn’t want that right?

I can remember the first time ever using Carmex, I thought “Why was I wasting time with other chap sticks”? My mom told me how my grandma always used it & I can see why. So wy not make grandma happy (lol) and let’s get our very own Carmex on. Check out your local drugstores & www.mycarmex.com for more info on all their products! Your lips will thank you. Happy Fall Ya’ll 🙂
