Just Say NO!! (NO!!) to No!No!

Okay, so I thought….$150 vs. $499 (NOT $500—what a relief–Thank you Madison Avenue)…….I mean, how HAIRY am I really? (and, that’s a rhetorical question). I figured the $350 could be spent on something frivolous (like food or electricity).

No! No! hair removal system

Frankly—I was wrong. In my opinion, you would have better luck just rubbing the box under your arm than experiencing the benefits of No!No!’s hair removal. They like to say that it takes time. So before your next trip to Mustique… allot a good five years to spiff up your bikini line.

Conversely, the Silk’n SensEpil does deliver.

It is convenient, discreet, and usable. Most of all, IT WORKS.

I’ve decided that I can eat fish sticks by candlelight secure in the knowledge that I am indeed silky smooth. Amen

Trend: Permanent Eyelashes*

EVER Want those luxe ‘Bambi-esque’ eyelashes that only young deer and little boys seem to possess with equal ease?

With Jessica at Glam Hair salon

North Miami’s Jessica at GLAMHAIR Salon may have the secret to batting your baby blues (gorgeous greens, haunting hazels, beautiful browns….) with more swish.

There have been scores of topical products approved lately—sort of a ‘Rogaine’ for your eyelids. A few are available by prescription only–probably a good idea since becoming BLIND but having great lashes won’t really accomplish your likely desired result.

We did have one friend (who due to the needless potential for wasteful litigation shall remain nameless) who used one dermatologist-recommended mascara. We at YYC were unaware that she had begun this protocol; actually, we just thought that she had been on a two week
crying jag. The rims of her upper and lower lids were iodine stained this brownish rust hue that is noted as a side effect of the ‘treatment’…..she did maintain, however, that her lashes were longer. Isn’t that special….

Jessica prepping to apply permanent eyelashes

Anyway, we opted for method two–the Faux FIX as it were. For $150 and an hour of ‘upclose and personal’ time–Jessica was able to painstakingly apply my new fringe lash by lash. You have an option of selecting lengths and colour as well as style.

Jessica applying permanent eyelashes

Jessica (cell: 305 494-6867) uses En Vogue lashes and recommends water-based mascara such as Ardell Lash Magic (available at Sally’s) after application.

Frédéric Fekkai Hair Color

Frédéric? I guess one is to infer that Mr. Fekkai is suggesting we do our own colour maintenance.
I mean, that is the point behind his new line of colour (labeled with HIS NAME) at Sephora.
Certainly I feel qualified to do my own highlights, I just restrain the urge so that I can spend that eight hours and $1300 with Ling for the pleasure of her company each month.
Thanks.
I’ll let you all know as I set up my salon. By the way, I only do one colour processes—I’m making an artistic statement and getting really zen with it.
Please bring your own shampoo and a pair of lawn clippers.
Better make that appointment with me now. Phones are ringing off the hook.
