My Henna Art Experience!

I have been looking forward to getting a henna art for EVER, and after seeing all the hype on Instagram I decided to reach out to a local Henna artist and finally do it. I met with Heather and she was so friendly and welcoming, I was a little shy to show her what I wanted done because I thought it would be too time consuming. But I was pleasantly surprised and embarrassed when she told me it was a very simple 10 minute design. We sat down and I asked a few questions and all the answers are available in Heathers website. I did ask her about "Black henna" and she informed me of  how its actually very dangerous and not really henna, just a very toxic ink that is not recommended to be used on the skin. (google it for more info)

Quise compartir con ustedes mi primera ves haciéndome un tatuaje de Henna y les puedo decir que me encanto. Me junte con una artista local con mas de 10 años de experiencia y me fascino su historia. La verdad no sabia que esperar, pero me contesto todas mis preguntas y se tomo su tiempo. Al mirar las fotos podrán ver que ya a la semana se estaba borrando y esto es debido a que vivo básicamente lavando las manos y untandomelas de alcohol para desinfectar. Esto causo que se me fuera la tinta mas rápido. Una pregunta que si le hice y quiero compartir con ustedes es que la tinta negra, como quizás la han visto en fotos por instagram es muy peligrosa y tóxica hacia que tengan mucho cuidado y busquen mas información antes de experimentar y tener secuelas graves. 

Henna By Heather

The whole thing took her about 20 minutes, only because we were talking and she was taking her time.

Voila!

This how it after I brushed off henna paste... about 40 minutes after (thats how long it took me to get home)

This is how it looked the next day!

This one is exactly a week

My henna art did not last as long because as you all may know I'm an Esthetician, my hands are always dealing with water and disinfecting with alcohol. Overall I would definitely get it done again especially for a special event!

Product Review: Beso Eyelash Adhesive

If you have been reading my blog for some time than you probably have read in a post my battle with my sensitive eyes. I have been on the lookout for a eyelash adhesive that won't make my eyes red, watery, and irritated. I decided to order and try this adhesive with high hopes that it would become my HG but unfortunately I'm still looking....

PROS:

• Long Lasting
• Did not Irritate My Eyes (while wearing lashes) 

CONS:

• It sticks to my eye lid and eyelashes and DOES NOT come off unless you "peel Off" which irritates my eyes even more :(
• I loose about 30 precious eyelashes every time I use this
• It has latex so I do not recommend to use on your kit as your client might be allergic to it

Overall I don't completely hate it and I know I can count on this adhesive to keep my lashes in place all day and not have to worry about it falling off, or my eyes running. The issue really is the removal, and the bald spots I now have on my lashes :(
