Fysiko EyeLash Growth Serum | 6 Week Challenge

Hey you beauty lovers! If you don't know already, I absolutely love all things
fysiko eyelash growth serum
pertaining to healthy hair. This includes my lashes as well (using Fysiko EyeLash Growth Serum), more on that in a minute. I know of many ladies who would love to have those long, full lashes apart of their natural beauty. Of course, with many of us, we opt for the fullness and illusion with use of fake lashes. They have pros and cons. More cons if you don't apply or remove them correctly. 

You may be familiar with products called Latisse and Revitalash serum that help treat hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough lashes). Very costly products for natural longer lash seekers. Guess what though? I'm going to be your guinea pig for the next 2-4 months. I've been given the opportunity to test out a product known as Fysiko EyeLash Growth Serum (No Prescription Needed). Fysiko sent me a full size product to try free for 6 to 16 weeks. Here's a little background info on Fysiko EyeLash Growth Serum

Fysiko EyeLash Growth Serum | What Is It? 


Fysiko Eyelash Growth Serum is NOT an eye makeup or mascara but it is an all natural serum for lash growth. It is a powerful growth serum that is safe to use.  Fysiko Eyelash Growth Serum has been clinically proven to safely and effectively lengthen eyelashes and eyebrows. It also contains a proprietary blend of ingredients, which has also been clinically proven to improve the appearance of damaged eyelashes and eyebrows. Many users and testers have seen great results from this product. 

Active ingredients:
-Bio-Peptides and Amino Acids: Help to repair and strengthen fragile eyelashes and eyebrows.
-Vitamin E, Olive oil, Thyme, Biotin, Soy Protein: Natural lash enhancers.
-Sodium Hyaluronate: Promotes hydration and helps eyelashes and eyebrows appear shiny and strong.
-Methylamido Dihydro Noralfoprostal: Promotes healthy lash follicles for full growth potential.
-Panthenol: Helps eyelashes and eyebrows last longer by making them more flexible.

Any review or results I see will be honest. If it does not work for me, I will state so but it has worked and helped many people. Let's see if the lash gods will be in my favor as well, lol. 

FYIUse Fysiko Eyelash Growth Serum once daily for full sixteen weeks. Once you are satisfied with your lashes, to maintain the appearance of your new longer lashes continue using the product at least 2-3 times weekly.

Lupus Awareness Month | Live & Learn Support

Lupus Awareness Month
May is Lupus Awareness Month. For the entire month of May, I'll personally be sharing a few facts and resources via my social profiles to further spread more knowledge of this disease. Lupus Awareness Month and Lupus, in general, happens to be a topic near and dear to me for the simple fact that my mother has been living with Lupus for over 5 years now. It wasn't until this time last year where I began to notice the disease take its toll on both her mental and physical health. 

***FACT*** Lupus affects men, women, and children. There are 1.5 million people in the U.S out of over 5 million worldwide living with a form of Lupus. 

If you're not familiar with this chronic illness, Lupus is a life-threatening auto-immune disease that can damage any organ within your body. Affecting your heart, lungs, and more. It's also a disease that is predominately found in women. You may not know but celebrities such as Toni Braxton, Seal, Lady Gaga, Nick Cannon, and other celebs all suffer from some form of Lupus. To learn more about Lupus Awareness Month and the disease itself, read on for more information. 

Lupus Awareness Month | What Is Lupus?

 Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (skin, joints, and/or organs inside the body). Chronic means that the signs and symptoms tend to last longer than six weeks and often for many years. In lupus, something goes wrong with your immune system, which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs ("foreign invaders," like the flu).

 Autoimmune means your immune system cannot tell the difference between these foreign invaders and your body’s healthy tissues ("auto" means "self") and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue. These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the body. 


Lupus Awareness Month | What Is The Cause of Lupus?

No gene or group of genes has been proven to cause lupus. Lupus does, however, appear in certain families, and when one of two identical twins has lupus, there is an increased chance that the other twin will also develop the disease.

Lupus Awareness Month Although lupus can develop in people with no family history of lupus, there are likely to be other autoimmune diseases in some family members. Certain ethnic groups (people of African, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, Native American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Island descent) have a greater risk of developing lupus, which may be related to genes they have in common.

There are several forms of Lupus and if you have any of the symptoms of lupus, it's best to go see a medical professional to get detailed testing for your health. 

**FACT** The butterfly symbol is often seen associated with Lupus campaigns and logos symbolizing the malar rash or butterfly-like flare that often appears across the mid t-zone (under eyes and across the nose) area of Lupus patients. 

Lupus Awareness Month | What are the Risk Factors? 

- More than 90 percent of people with lupus are women.
- Symptoms and diagnosis occur most often when women are in their childbearing years, between the ages of 15 and 44. Symptoms of lupus will occur before age 18 in 15 percent of the people who are later diagnosed with the disease.
- In the United States, lupus is more common in people of color -- African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders -- than in the Caucasian population. It also appears that lupus develops at an earlier age and is more severe among members of these ethnic groups.
- Relatives of people with lupus have an approximately 5-13 percent chance of developing lupus. However, only about 5 percent of children will develop lupus if their mother has lupus.

"Kisses Down Low" Inspired Makeup Tutorial + Natural Hair Ironed Blow Out

I am so in love with all the makeup looks seen in Kelly Rowland's, "Kisses Down Low" music video. She definitely had some fun playing around in color. As you can imagine makeup lovers and divas everywhere have been creating their own inspired-looks to compliment Kelly's. There have been a multitude of great (and not so great) looks based off the video.

I counted a total of 7 different facial styles expressed throughout the video... yes, I counted! I was super late watching the video but when I finally saw it, all I paid attention to were the makeup looks! So of course I had to do a tutorial sharing my skills as well! I must say, I really enjoyed playing "dress up" with my face.

It's always fun when it's never planned. FYI... the red hair look on Kelly really took me back to the Destiny Child days. Kelly has always been fun and adventurous with her hair. My hair in this tutorial is a flat-ironed blow out. Yes, I just made that up. I did a little straightening to my hair and allowed nature to take over from there. As the day progressed, it turned out to be a flawless blow-out with so much body and movement! I'm feeling like Diana Ross! Absolutely loved how it turned out.


I wanted to create one of my favorites looks, the "Kelly Barbie", from the video. Pink lips and rainbow eyes! LOVED IT!! Don't worry ladies, I made sure to use products that are budget-friendly for any makeup lover. Mostly, ELF products. Since I only rocked this look for about 2 hours, I only used the less expensive products for the most part... beauty is pain lol. 

Products Used:
  • ELF Clutch Brow Fill
  • ELF Concealer in "Medium"
  • Eyeshadow Palettes Used: ELF Clutch, Coastal Scents GO "Sydney", ELF 24K Gold
  • ELF Eyelid Primer in "Shear"
  • Foundations: L'Oreal True Match in  "C7 Nut Brown" + Revlon Nearly Naked in "280 Chestnut"
  • Lips: ELF "Flirtatious" Lipstick  + "ELF Charming" Lipstick + ELF Gloss in "Flirt"
  • Lips (Small Additon) Covergirl "Q455 Powderpuff Pink" from Queen Collection

Essentials:
  • Brushes: ELF + Coastal Scents
  • ELF Dramatic Lashes
  • Waterproof LashGrip Eyelash Adhesive
  • NK Auto Eyeliner in "AA04 White"
  • Rimmel London Exaggerate Lip Liner in "046 Ultimate" (Mocha Brown)
  • ELF Waterproof Mascara


Instructions:

  1. Prime your face. Most women simply add a BB creme, a moisturizing lotion, or face primer. I used a face moisturizer from Suave. 
  2. Fill in your brows with a color that is at least 2-3 shades darker than your skin tone or the color of your natural hair color. DO NOT EVER USE BLACK! (Unless you're some Couture runway model... lol) 
  3. Apply concealer on your brow bone, perfecting your eyebrow arch. Take the concealer and also apply to eyelids, under your eyes, down your nose (highlight can be used as well), and along your "T-Zone". 
  4. Blend, blend, blend!! 
  5. Begin to apply eyeshadow. Select your chosen "yellow" and apply to eyelid. Select a "green" (I used 3 shades of green) and apply to outer-V and crease of eyelids. Be sure to use a blending brush to lightly blend the two colors. 
  6. Take a white eyeliner pencil or creme and apply to lower lash line. Followed by a "royal blue" or "deep turquoise" eyeshadow and apply underneath lower lash line. 
  7. Smooth and clean up any fall out with a fan brush or kabuki. 
  8. Apply foundation to face (and lips-optional). (I used a mixture of two colors to match my skin tone).
  9. LIPS: Apply your selected "bubblegum pink" lip color. (I created a color using 3 shades of pink lipstick.) Be sure to add gloss or lip shine. 
  10. Set your makeup with a spray or powder.

The Birthday Celebration + Fancy Pants

Whoo! Another year has come and I was blessed to see another birthday. I turned 22 two weeks ago on March 27th! Let me just say that not only do I feel, NOT OLDER, but 22 looks good on me lol. I had a nice time. I was able to indulge in a two-day weekend away from "work" and super needy clients. Much needed...

My date and I spent the mid-week in Atlanta. Enjoying the atmosphere and lifestyle of the busy
the birthday celebration
city. We stayed at The Artmore Hotel, a nice little secret in the heart of the Atlanta art district. The hotel had a very modern day Picasso feel to it. The room was cozy and worthwhile... it had a lovely "bar" area with a small fridge filled with beverages and the "adult" drinks we love! The area aso had a photo of Audrey Hepburn in her role in "Breakfast At Tiffany's" in black and white.

That huge jacuzzi in the bathroom was a bonus. SCORE!

Of course, I took photos of my mini-getaway. I came a bit un-prepared because I failed to remember putting my memory card back into my camera. UGH! My babe was sure to capture everything for me though. Yay! Well, from arrival, to seeing my first sea-horse, to dinner fit for royalty, life was good that week. I didn't want the freedom to end. There's something wonderful about just being able to sit and enjoy life without stressing over the common worries.

My birthday consisted of movies, site seeing, the Georgia Aquarium, "family time", and a great dinner at Seasons 52. I'm not really big on celebrating my birthday as much as I use to but this year was surely the best birthday I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying.

Check out some of the awesome photos from my little vacation! (There are a bunch that won't be shown here. Bummer.)
Artmore Hotel


My Hotel Room

GA Aquarium
Sea Dragon "Sea Horse"
Fork and Screen Movies-Buckhead
 This place was super exciting. I had no idea that there was a "dinner and a movie" anywhere in Atlanta. It was quite nice. The decor and service was also great. We decided to see "Spring Breakers" which was an okay movie... should've gone for "Dead Man Down". GRR lol. 

Seasons 52-Perimeter


The atmosphere of the restaurant was very comfortable and captivating. I had the Grilled Jumbo Shrimp Penne Pasta which had veggies and oyster mushrooms as well. I had to have my fave wine to go with my fancy meal, the White Zinfandel. Delish!

Yeah, I enjoyed myself. The weather was a bit chilly but the sun was out majority of the time. My dinner outfit was simple. Turtleneck black and grey, short-fitted dress with tights and heels. My hair was in its rare form... ALL NATURAL and CURLY!

My date was decked out in his Ralph Lauren from head to toe attire. Looking mighty suave if I do say so myself. Loved it! Not bad considering that he spent close to $300 on that ONE outfit the day before while we shopping Tanger Outlet, lol!

*sigh* It sucked having to leave but overall, it'll be a great memory. If you're ever in the Atlanta area, be sure to check out a few of the places I stopped by. I'm certain you'll enjoy it! :)


Share this post and leave comments if you desire. I'd love to hear from you! What is your dream, not a dream, way to celebrate your birthday?
