Name something all of us women wish we had, that we are not born with naturally. Ok it is not big boobs. Guess again…..

Xtreme Lashes Eyelash Extensions

It’s long dramatic flirty eyelashes. And I have found a way to have them! With Toronto Fashion Week just a hair’s breath away, I discovered a local Toronto make-up artist & lash expert to get my peepers primed for red carpet status...

Forget Passé Eye Lash Tinting

Meet New York trained Kate Drydoll who extends and maximizes one's own natural lashes using the latest technology. The lashes she uses are made with synthetic fibers that look super natural: they are curved, polished and sized to look as if they were your own. They're held to your own lashes with a waterproof bonding agent. The procedure does not harm your skin or your natural lashes. The best news is that they last for up to two months or longer. You don’t need to apply mascara or curl them. How fantastic!

Lash Road Test

I just had to try it myself. Application of the lashes was painless, but did take one hour. I did find that having my lower lashes taped down was somewhat awkward at first, but Kate reassured me that everyone feels this way the first time.

I had a choice between FULL Lashes and GLAM Lashes and was also able to choose the color: red, blonde, brown, black or blue. I opted for the Glam lash and am glad I did! My eyes look amazing! I went out afterwards and mesmerized all my friends by the length of my lashes! I felt flirtier and I did detect that I was getting more attention from men around me. The lashes, not the men, are not difficult to take care of, and I saved time doing my makeup, as I don’t need mascara or lash curlers.

Lash Haven

If you want super long, lush lashes, book an appointment with Kate at Jean Macdonald BeautyWorks. Located at 1560 Yonge Street, just a wee bit north of St Clair. Another bonus is that Kate is also a makeup artist and can do your makeup for a special event, wedding or just give you a makeup lesson.
For those of you who love shopping for the best skincare, makeup and makeup supplies Jean Macdonald BeautyWorks has a fab selection of all makeup for the face, brushes and makeup tools available to purchase. This place really reminds me of some of the makeup shops I used to frequent in London, England. It just feels terribly private, theatrical and authentic.

So have a flirt with the new fashion trend for lash extensions. I guarantee once you have them done you will be hooked!

Directions: Jean Macdonald BeautyWorks & Mini Spa, 1560 Yonge Street, just a wee bit north of St Clair Red. Look for a red brick building between Delisle St and Heath St. Deep in the courtyard on the main level, past the Second Cup.
