Getting my Eyelash Extensions

I have to say I never thought I would try or have eyelash extensions. I occasionally use false eyelashes for special events but that's really where my mindset was for having "lashes" was big events. Boy was I wrong! 
I recently went down to Beverly Hills to the Eyelash Lab and had Yumi Youn beautify my lashes, and I am now hooked! I never realized how fuller and longer lashes can really enhance your eyes and your whole look. So much in fact there are days I don't even have to really wear any eye makeup which is amazing!

 

Eyelash extensions are supposed to last anywhere up to 4 weeks depending on how you care for them and also how they take to your particular skin/eye. After the initial application you can go in for fills to do maintenance upkeep.
She has various different lengths and curl types to choose from and she also offers other services in her salon such as brow shaping/waxing, hair care, skin care, and even permanent makeup.
She is such a sweetheart and a pleasure to chit chat with while you get your extensions put on.
Her salon is located right on Robertson in the beautiful and well known area of Beverly Hills. After your appointment you can walk to all the shops and eateries around the area and really make a day of it. 
Check out my Youtube video on my experience and make sure you check out Yumi's website, you can even make an appointment online!

Toni & Guy Spring Beauty Forecast Event Party

Check out my vlog here on my Youtube channel

I was so excited to be invited to this Media event at the Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy in Santa Monica.  For those of you who might not know, Toni & Guy Salons have been around for over 50 years this year!  Started by brother team Toni and Guy Mascolo, and then later joined by their other two brothers Bruno and Anthony, the company is now in over 20 countries worldwide.

The Academy location in Santa Monica, CA

They have 20 different Academy locations throughout the US and Canada, and let me tell you it is a picturesque place to learn!

Here is Bruno Masolo (owner) giving a little speech at the event with his nephew Zak Mascolo by his side.

They were offering a ton of complimentary services and so I opted for eyelash extensions! Yumi Youn did an outstanding job. She has the Eyelash Lab in Beverly Hills and another location in Valencia.

My beautiful friend Becky came with me and got her makeup did :) She has a Youtube channel and is going to be expanding and branching out so stay tuned! http://www.youtube.com/beckyjensen

Lauren Fernald did an amazing job on her makeup. 

She works at the Newport Beach location so make sure you go see her if you are down that way! 

The night was filled with champagne and chocolate covered strawberries, hand massages and of course making great connections! The AMAZING goodie bag that we left with was FILLED with amazing products from Bed Head, Pet Head, Dermalogica, TIGI, and ColorSmash.

This Paint By Numbers book from Toni & Guy is so informative. It's a step by step guide on the methodology for applying makeup.

This mascara is the bomb! Max2 Special Mascara Gold. It's made from natural products like Royal Jelly and Herb extracts. You can remove it with just soap and water, no cleansers needed.
 Also safe for eyelash extensions :)
 It came straight from Yumi Youn's Eyelash Lab.

Cannot wait to try these two TIGI products! 

Bed head is literally one of the best hair products lines out there. I'm looking forward to trying out the "Straighten Out", "Elasticate" Strengthening Shampoo, and 

"Recharge" the High Octane Shine Shampoo

I have heard nothing but amazing things about Dermalogica products. What's ironic is the night before I got these, I was watching Karissa (Saturdaynightsalrite) on Youtube and she was talking ab out the primer. I was thinking to myself how I needed to get some and there it was the next day! Talk about fate :)

I want to say a HUGE thank you to: Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy, Natalie Filetti ( Advanced Education Coordinator) Ameilia Swagger (PR Specialist) Jazmine Graza (Social Media Manager) Joshua Marzioli (Academy Director) Brian Aguliar (Designer 1) Brittany Maher, Yumi Youn, Nathalie Banker (Dermalogica) , Eric for the amazing hand massage, and to anyone else I met and I didn't mention your name!
