I have been learning a lot about facial care recently. I am not a big make-up person but my skin care is very important to me. I recently saw a Youtube video of Martha Stewart and in that video she discussed her facial care routine.

She mentioned using a facial spray toner when she wants to hydrate her skin. I have never heard of a facial spray so I thought I would do some “looking around” and see what I could find. I made a visit to Sephora. They carry almost everything you need for your body.

While looking around I stumbled on a beauty line called “Fresh”. The first thing I picked up was their Hesperides Grapefruit Spray. Oh my gosh is it delicious! So I purchased that and I love it (see my entry here about it). The next was the facial spray. It is called Rose Water Toner. I have been using it for about 3 weeks and I tell you it is fantastic!

I spray it on after my morning cleaning with my Clarisonic (see my blog entry here about that) and I also spray it on at night. It is a bit expense but it is well worth it! If you are looking for a great facial spray then try the Fresh Rose Water Toner. It will hydrate your face and it smells just like roses! The next item on my list is the Rose Eye Cream. I can’t wait to try it!

Eye lash extensions; most of us love them and wear them. I love my eye lash extensions! I have been wearing them for about 2 years. I get many compliments all the time. It took me about a year to find a length that I was comfortable with.

I think a person should try different lengths. It can really change up your look. I have found that with lash extensions I don’t need eye make up as much. They add such a feminine and finish look to the eye. A few months ago I was in Talbots looking at some clothes and jewelry and one of the sales reps came up to me and starting chatting.

I have become friends with this individual and so we talk about practically everything. As I was talking she was staring at my eyes. She then said,  “Your lashes are gorgeous!” I smiled and thanked her. She then proceeded to say, “Your lashes look real, some of these other lashes that I have seen look like bat wings!”

We both began to laugh! I thought, Oh my she is right! They do look like bat wings! Some of the lashes I have seen look like they have been caked on with tar! I don’t want that so I try my best to put my lashes on with minimal mess.

I wear the strip lashes. I tried the individuals and I like them I just don’t want to sleep in them. So I wear the strips because I can take them off everyday. And that’s what I do. I take my lashes off everyday and wash my face. I put my lashes back in the case and use them for a week then throw them away and get out a fresh pair. This has worked for me. So below are photos of the lashes that I use and what they look like and best wishes on you finding your perfect pair of lashes!
