YOU MAKE ME SO T-HORNY!

Deep red roses convey deep emotions such as passion, desire & seduction.

For our bi-weekly champagne & rose pedicure at THA CHAMPAGNE BOUTIQUE, Kiran chose a burgundy two-piece outfit with her Tom Ford patchwork cage metallic leather sandals to accent the intensified South African red roses & fern green long stems. I chose to pair a Zara lace-trimmed slip dress with Saint Laurent opyum ankle strap sandals and kept it simple with the classic long stem red roses.

Needless to say, we had a very relaxing sip & soak leaving our feet soft & smooth. For our full review & benefits of a champagne & rose pedicure, click HERE.

DREAMY BEAUTY BAR - MICROBLADING

Excessive threading in my early 20's caused my eyebrows to thin out from my naturally thick virgin brows. Now, I always have to draw them in to achieve the thick full brow shape I desire. I wanted a more permanent solution so my eyebrows look great with a make-up free look (drawn eyebrows & no make-up is a no-no).

EXPERTISE: 

Microblading or eyebrow embroidery is a semi-permanent solution to get a new eyebrow shape or achieve fullness. Lynda Quach at Dreamy Beauty Bar uses a hand-held, pen-like tool with a micro blade. This tool breaks the skin & allows the ink/dye to settle into the tiny hair-like strokes. The disposable micro blades are sanitary & safe. Lynda has been microblading for two years & applying permanent make-up for 5 years so I trust her expertise.

EXPERIENCE: 

Microblading feels like a nail gently scratching your eyebrows. The topical numbing cream makes it completely pain free.

EXPENSE: 

Microblading costs approximately $550 but a good investment because it lasts for 12-18 months & is semi-permanent meaning you can always change the shape. Complimentary touch ups are included in this cost & should be done within 4-6 weeks to check the colour & shape for any minor changes. The second application darkens the shade giving you fullness.

If microblading interests you, do your research. Search "microblading" in www.matropolitan.com & check out @dreamybeautybar on Instagram for before & after pictures.

STEP 1: Book your appointment with Lynda Quach. E: lynda@dreamybeautybar.com T: 647.299.4277

STEP 2: 24 hours prior to your appointment, avoid alcohol, caffeine, vitamin E & aspirin.

STEP 3: First, Lynda will sketch the eyebrow shape you want on paper. You should bring pictures for inspiration to describe the changes you want.

STEP 4: Using a ruler, Lynda will evenly sketch the eyebrow shape on to your face using dots as a guideline.

STEP 5: Lynda will apply a topical numbing cream & let you relax on the table laying on your back for 10 minutes snug in a blanket.

STEP 6: Lynda will start microblading your eyebrows creating fine hair-like strokes & applying the dye at the same time. Then she will apply a layer of dye over the entire eyebrow.

STEP 7: Lynda will have you examine your eyebrows to make sure you are satisfied & explain the aftercare. The total microblading appointment takes approximately 2 hours.

STEP 8: Book your complimentary touch up appointment within 4-6 weeks. Touch up appointments are 1 hour.

BEAUTY BAR

I usually post my experience at Beauty Bar on instagram so I thought, why not do a full post on my services.

I decided to do full body laser hair removal and this was session 2 for me at Beauty Bar. It's surprisingly painless. The only areas that were sensitive were my underarms & bikini area. Especially for a full Brazilian. The whole process took about 2 hours for the full body. It feels like the area is getting hot and maybe a little pinch in sensitive areas like knuckles.

Kiran came along to keep me company and went on the tanning bed for a little while.

I've tried a few of their services before including a hydrafacial & teeth whitening. They offer so many services: CoolSculpting (which I cannot wait to try), Skin Tightening, Botox, Juvederm, Mink Lash Extensions and Latisse.

Check out BEAUTY BAR LASER CLINIC's website for details and directions to 1 of their 4 locations in Toronto.
