Your daily Piece of Pretty...: May 2012

Like most girls of East Asian descent, I sorely lack in the lash department. My lashes are thin, pretty short, but have a slight natural curve to them -- they're kinda cute with a good coat (or coatS) of mascara for the average day, but not enough to be called lush or glam by any means.

So, for the wedding day, I was considering just using my usual go-to strip lashes but had my reservations -- are they too "fake"? Too dramatic? Too "clubby"? That's when I started considering lash extensions.

I've had them done once before @ Winks on Danforth, but didn't love them (I think it was the combination of the type of lash the technician chose for me, and that it was "only" 50 lashes per eye). They looked great as an everyday thing (very naturally pretty), but didn't pop much in pictures.

This is when my lovely friend Christina stepped in, and told me all about her whole new beauty venture >> http://polishmepretty.com/. YAY!

Went to see her yesterday, and let me just say..... L O V E! I can't stop staring at my amazing lashes.

And finally, me with the lash extensions from Polish me Pretty! >>>

So pretty and perfect for the wedding photos! I almost feel like a Kardashian with these babies.

She also provided me with lash care instructions and the recommended mascara for the lashes, should I want to apply a touch to the tips on the day of the wedding.

I love em, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about Christina, and Polish Me Pretty!
