    ESQIDO: More lush in your lashes

    ESQIDO

    I was not blessed with luscious lashes, unlike my brother who has honey eyes and thick, black LONG lashes (I know, *rolls eyes*). I have big round eyes, just not long or full lashes – even when mascara is applied to them. For as long as I can remember, I’ve used lashes just to give my eyes the “I’m awake” look. It has taken me awhile to master the art of applying them as they use to slip from my fingers and get glue everywhere!

    For those of you who share my pain, you know the lash struggle is REAL. Now you can get lash extensions, which are amazing if you are willing to forego face-steams, extensive face washing, cannonballing into the pool or nearly any water-related sports. In the winter that seems totally fine, but in the summer? Forget about it! I’m sticking to falsies for now so I can enjoy the already short summer we get.

    This brings me to introduce the newest and hottest lashes worn by celebrities such as Rihanna and Adriana Lima right now. I tried, ‘Stephanie’ and ‘Lash named Desire’.

    What’s Unique about ESQIDO

    ESQIDO eyelashes can be worn up to 25 times, with the proper TLC. Most synthetic eyelashes last about 2-3 wears. I especially love the ESQIDO lash case as it’s ideal for protecting your eyelash from getting bent or loss.

    ESQIDO is a mink-based lashes brand that focuses on ease of application and softness. Each pair of eyelashes have a subtle glossy sheen and are matched to be indistinguishable from human eyelashes. They are hypoallergenic and made free from any dyes, leaving a natural black-brown finish. Each strand is ultra-soft, lightweight and stays beautifully curled. The result –a luxurious eyelash experience.

    I recommend getting the latex-free, Companion Eyelash Glue even if you don’t purchase the lashes. It was super easy to use and better than many types of glue currently on the market.

    All ESQIDO lashes can be purchased online and at select retailers.

     

    ESQIDO lashes are not PETA approved.

    (NY) Leopard Mascara

    I went to a Chinese Dollarstore in Toronto (Brimley and Sheppard) and found my new favourite mascara. It has a leopard packaging and it is called 2x Flamingo Volumizing Mascara Lash Extension.  It’s a gel fiber tubing mascara. I have never used anything like this before… It really rivals anything in my traincases and makeup bags. 

    You can buy it on EBAY for $9. I got it for $3.
    But in my Google search, I found a few other brands with ‘Leopard Macaras”
    MAC
    Helena Rubenstein

    Be a POP girl!

    If you haven’t already heard of the makeup line, POP Beauty, allow me to introduce you…

    POP Beauty’s creator, Sara Strand created the line to add ‘pop’ to every woman’s makeup bag. Strand wants to give every woman the opportunity to try something new and take a chance!

    Of course, Spring is all about color and wait ’til you see what POP Beauty has got in store…

    I tried POP Beauty’s Nail Glams in Grass and Violetta and let me tell you… these aren’t your typical, everyday nail polishes. These nail polishes come in the edgiest and funkiest colors. If you’re looking for a burst of color to complete any spring look, POP Beauty’s Nail Glams are the way to go! My favorite thing about Nail Glams is their super-shiny finish; I don’t even need a top coat.

    If eye-glam is your thing, look no further than the POP Lash Shop. POP Beauty takes dressy lashes to a whole new level of fun. I tried Psychedelic; they are SO dramatic, the photos do no justice. Because they’re so long I found it useful to dab the glue on with a q-tip to the lash line and false lash for maximum hold. I also found it easier to start in the middle of the eye and work my way out to the edges.

    Shop around on on their website: www.popbeauty.co.uk
    POP Beauty is also available at Sephora and Ulta stores and various online retailers.

    Whether it’s a pop of color, a pop of drama or a pop of fun… POP Beauty won’t let you down!

    They are really easy to put on once you have practiced.
    1, curl your lashes.
    2, put a thin strip of lash glue (duo is my fave).
    3, WAIT about 30 seconds for the glue to become tacky, the voila! DOLL FACE

    Wink-a-Dink

    Today I went to visit the brand spanking new Winks – Toronto’s first lash bar. It’s just off the Danforth – You can either get off at Chester and walk right or Broadview and walk left. The address is 272A Danforth on the northside, up the stairs and hang-a-left. After reading about Winks on WWW, I went to pay the girls a visit and got some wam bam bat bat bat’s!
    I love wearing lashes and even though I have long lashes by typical ‘Asian” standards, I like to turn it up an extra megawatt with some DUO & falsies. But for $55, you can get these bad boys and they last up to 2 months! www.winksboutique.com


    This is a major trend in Korea, Japan and China. So Toronto girls, listen up! There are 3 kinds: Individuals, Flares, Decor – Mine are ‘individuals’ ($150). Perfect for a special occasion… like Tuesday! You know it’s a special occasion up in here like e’ry day! These would look dope with the Circle Lens, I blogged about in Oct 08.
