Before…and …. after
This is only a three day trial and as you can see: the second photo you can see more of the length and thickening of the lash line on the model.
Neulash is an innovative eyelash serum that helps grow healthy natural lashes and you can use it on your eyebrows too!
It works as a conditioner when you apply a daily application along the lashline using the brush applicator. It works just like liquid eyeliner although it’s your eyelash vitamin!
It gives proteins, peptides, vitamins anda moisturization to help strengthen the lashes. Neulash is a great product to add to your anti-aging beauty regime so your lashes don’t give away your age!
The Neulash product is opthamalmologist and dermatologist safety tested. Contact wearers can safely use the product also.
It is cruelty, paraben, and fragrance free! Good news in part since the beginning of mascara was the year 1913 and a chemist named T.L. Wilson invented a salve of black coal dust and petroleum jelly for his sister Mabel. Two years later he founded his company, Maybelline!
Try some Neulash today and you will be happy with the results! Get it at

Top 14 Makeup Removers
|
|
See which products easily stripped off eye makeup (and everything else)
|
|
We makeup junkies need a good product to take it all off at the end of the day — no clogged pores or stained pillowcases for us! The makeup removers on this list left TotalBeauty.com readers with clean skin and without oily residue or dryness.
See products

I use three different kinds of makeup removers and facial washes. I have eye makeup remover that I vary between buying the store brand and buying Ahava! I then use either a moisturizing facial wash or a squeaky clean for oily skin formula if I have been in alot of makeup or sunscreen.
Then…I use the Kirkland Signature Daily Facial Cleansing cloths for when I am on the go.
What ever you choose, please choose something! Enjoy the beauty bubble!
P.S. Remember to visit www.awakearizona.net for full details on the conference starting tonight. I’ll be there and I look forward to seeing you too! It’s hosted by City of Grace in Mesa. Chuck Pierce, Lance Wallnau and Cindy Jacobs just to name a few!

Quiz: Is That Mole Skin Cancer?
|
|
Answer these questions to find out if you have a suspect mole that should be checked out by a dermatologist, stat!
|
|
Have a funny looking mole that you’ve thought twice about? Worried that it might be cancerous? The following questions will help you determine if it’s time to see a dermatologist.
Take the quiz
|
Skin cancer is no joke! And when you live in the sunbelt areas of the United States, checkin a funky spot, freckle or mole is a must do!
In Arizona, we get alot of “secondary” sun exposure just from going in and out of our homes, cars and air conditioned businesses, let alone hitting the Big Surf or rivers and lakes for water fun.
Try the UV SunSense bands that I profiled earlier in the week, or just reapply sunscreen constantly. When I say constantly, I mean on the hour and whenever you come in from the waterplay.
And as always, if you have a skin patch that looks funny, it may be worth a trip to the doctor. Enjoy!

Best and Worst Celebrity Signature Styles
|
|
From Angelina Jolie’s cat eye to Anna Wintour’s iconic bob — see the looks we love and loathe
|
|
Establishing a signature style can be a great way to make a statement, but it can also turn into a rut. Look to these examples for clues on how long you should stick with your signature style and if it’s really right for you.

I have two topics for today:
1. The Secret clinical strength trial results. First, myself, one man and one other woman tried the product. For 48 hours we only used this and actually had some heat in Arizona to try it with.
The man saw no difference. Still sweaty and still stinky.
The other woman saw a significant difference. Very little actual wetness and no odor. Nice.
I, on the other hand, had the usual sweaty camel stinky pit. Yes, I ran as usual that day and ate the normal amount of garlic.
So what the difference in experiences is, the man and I wiped it on as any other anti-persperant. The other woman: read the directions. She took her evening shower, applied the Secret clinical strength anti-perspirant to her underarms and then the following day had great results.
So note to self: read the directions and allow the product time to “cure” in your pit like a Honey Baked Ham cures in sugared brine. Nice.
Finally, the signature style. I believe in it, wear a version of it, and it never really goes out of style because you have created it for yourself. Enjoy the beauty bubble!

Okay, if you are going on vacation, or are out in the sun with kids alot, you have got to try these!
Developed by a nuclear physicist, with the same technology to detect UV radiation just like what is used at nuclear power plants or in jobs that deal with nuclear medicine to detect gamma rays.
You put it on, then put on your sunscreen including covering the band, when you step into the sun it turns a blue-purple shade which is how you know it is activated.
Now, when the band begins to lose color it is time to reapply sunscreen or get out of the sun!
I think this is perfect for trips to theme parks, cruise ships, beaches or the soccer field and water park because now instead of just getting a sunburn and finding out that your sunscreen didn’t work, you have an actual indicator other than red skin.
and…to get your hands on my two free goodies…email me your next sunny vacation plans!
Please include your name, contact info and summer sun plans and a winner will be drawn at random on June 23rd and contacted by email.
Enjoy the daily beauty bubble and see you with your wristband of UV Sun Sense on at the water park!
