I have a fabulous fight attendant friend who gave me a lovely little gift in as tiny prescription bottle a few months ago. She fancies herself a pharmacy “in flight” as she is able to pick up cool prescription strength products out of the country. She gifted me a bottle of Lumigan that claimes to make your eyelashes grow longer and thicker. Hmmmm..
of course I had to give it a try, not for my own Orange County vanity but rather as a public service to my clientelle. I figure my brides would want to know how to get longer lashes before their wedding day.
I have to be honest, I have never been very good a following directions. The instructions advised that I apply the product every night with a brush (like applying liquid eyeliner) and not to use on your bottom lashes. Well, I did sneak a little on my bottom lashes as if the direction following police was watching, and tried to apply nightly.
The instructions warned that your lashes would shrink back to normal (short and thin) if you did not apply consistently.
The truth…this liquid magic is amazing!!! I have a love affair with putting my mascara on my long and lovely lashes every morning. Even my lower lashes have grown. It has been over a month since I have used the product and my lashes are still fabulous!
Ladies, if you have wimpy lashes, and you don’t want to wear falsies for your wedding day, run to your doctor and ask for Lumigan. And get yourself luscious lashes!

Real Bride Heidi
One of the most beautiful brides, inside and out! It was a pleasure designing for her. Here is a peek at Heidi and Dave’s amazing wedding at Jays Catering blog.
” It was the kind of day little girls dream about. The perfect weather, the perfect dress, the perfect husband-to-be. And not to mention, the sparkly diamond ring. For Heidi and Dave, dreams came true on this day. She was surrounded by her closest friends, her makeup immaculate and her hair perfectly held in place. Dave had his best buds with him, ready to celebrate the special day. Family came in from all corners of the world, friends came together and laughter sooned filled the air. The atmosphere at Bella Collina Country Club in San Clemente was electric, in a way that only happens on these magical afternoons. It was the perfect setting for the dreams of a little girl, all grown up, to come true.
Thank you to the amazingly photogenic bride and groom for making us part of this incredible experience. Amy of In the Moment Events did an amazing job putting together the day, while Green Leaf provided the gorgeous flowers, and an old high school classmate of mine from San Dieguito High School in Encinitas, Benny Ek of Benny Ek Media, captured some memorable video footage, which you can view on his blog.” By White Haute Photography.
