My Urban Suburban

Have I ever mentioned my obsession with mascara?  Or my eyelashes?  If I have, feel free to skip this part…

But I’ve always had a weird “thing” with my eyelashes.  They’re kinda short and stubby, not thick, not thin, just kinda straight and boring.  Very nondescript.  Nobody is ever going to be jealous of my eyelashes. Consequently, at about the age of 15, I developed a love (some might say an obsession) with mascara.  I rarely leave the house without it on.  Going to the gym, walking in the park, taking out the garbage…you name it, I wear mascara.  Call me vain if you want, but it’s really not about vanity.  It’s an insecurity….I just feel naked without it!  And not only that, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect mascara for about 10 years.  I’m quite sure I’ve tried every brand available.  I’m constantly testing new ones, thinking “this will be the one that gives me mile-long, luscious, thick, sexy lashes.”  I totally fall for the ads where the model flutters her giant lashes, and stares seductively into the camera telling me I’ll look just like her when I buy their product.  And while the little voice in the back of my head screams “her lashes are FAKE!!”, I still go out and buy it…it’s a vicious cycle of frustration and disappointment.

So what’s my point?  My point is that due to this sick mascara obsession of mine, I was totally stoked to find out that Vancouver’s popular Noir Lash Lounge will soon be opening its doors in South Surrey’s Morgan Crossing!!!

Noir Lash Lounge specializes in semi-permanent eyelash extensions.  Carrying over 100 different lash varieties, they are sure to satisfy any girl’s lash envy (even mine!) Individual lashes are applied with a special adhesive right on top of your natural lash, creating longer, thicker, more beautiful lashes. The adhesive is non-irritating and bonds for 4 to 8 weeks.  Seeya later mascara!!

So here’s what I’m thinking………now you can head over to Morgan Crossing and hit up Noir for some glamorous lashes, then make your way over to Pure Nail Bar for a fabulous mani/pedi, then stop by Blo Blow Dry Bar for a sexy blowout before hitting the town for dinner and drinks with your friends!

Noir Lash Lounge is slated to open their doors at the end of October…so any day now!!  And I definitely plan on trying them out…I’ll post my “before” and “after” pics for all of you to see.
