Tory Burch + Latisse!

Okay, so the two really have nothing to do with each other except that I thought I could fit both into one post and I really want to tell you about both right now! :)

Let's talk about the new Tory Burch Espadrille Wedges - LOVE!  I am so happy with these and if you have seen how much I wear my black peep toe espadrilles wedges then you know that I will certainly get my use out of these, too.

I am really pretty tall already (5'10") so I don't like to wear too much heel - never mind the fact that I am typically chasing after my 4 children so high heels can literally be hazardous for me! - and these wedges are the perfect leg shaping lift without too much added height.

Tory Burch Filipa Espadrille Wedges (LOVE them in this color, too!)

Okay, so on to Latisse.  Have you ladies all heard of this miracle lash growing product? (You can read more about it here).  I am a natural blonde and my lashes are naturally very light and thin. The thought of a product to thicken, lengthen and darken them is very appealing to me for sure! 
A couple of years ago I tried semi-permanent lash extensions and they looked amazing, but were really difficult to keep up with and expensive even after the initial several hundred dollar investment (touch ups every 2 weeks at $25+ each visit) and eventually they began pulling my natural lashes out and I was afraid they were causing irreparable damage.  
After I had the extensions removed my natural lashes were so beat up. They were so so short and sparse - I was afraid they would never grow back, but within a couple of weeks they were back to normal - whew!
 It was before I had even tried the extensions that I had been thinking about Latisse, but just hadn't done enough research on it yet and wasn't sure about the financial commitment (although after what I had gone through with the extensions I could have easily afforded Latisse - live and learn!!)  I just wasn't sure about any potential risks, etc. Well, after months and months of research I decided I wanted to try it, but waited for a "deal" which I knew the company ran every few months. This week I was at my medi-spa for a facial and they were running a promotion on Latisse - I decided to go for it!


Below I have posted a pic of my lashes "before" (no make-up) and I will follow up every couple of weeks to show you the "after" effects. They say it takes 6 weeks to get the full effect, but that some results are seen in the first 2 weeks. I will be your guinea pig so to speak so you can see first hand if and how it works (I wish I had seen a review like this from someone I "kinda" knew from the blogging world! ;).  



It's Friday everyone!  Hope you have some fun plans for the weekend :)

  3. Hmm... I'm curious to try Latisse. I also saw that it was recommended by Dr. Jerome Edelstein, a well known doctor here in Canada. So, pretty sure that I will give it a try... I want to have longer, thicker eyelashes... and this seems as a great product.

    1. SO far it has been easy to use and I have had no ill side effects. It has been almost a week and I can swear that I am noticing a difference already in the length! Can that be possible??? I will update with a new pic in the next week :)

  4. For me, Tory Burch espadrilles are most stylish designer’s shoes that provide comfort during walking. Actually I was unable to wear high heels, but when my cousin told me to try these Tory Burch shoes, I felt so comfort in walking without any pain in my legs.
