Eyes Wide Open

By Simone DeBlasio
If eyes are the windows to the soul, you can see directly into mine. These big brown eyes are my pride and joy. Is that conceited? Well let me reassure you, it’s not all peaches and cream; I was cursed with horrible eyelashes. Straight, thin and light brown. I’ve tried different mascaras, from drug store brands to high-end products, and the results are at best depressing. But over the last few months I’ve sampled some products that have changed my outlook.
 Rapid Lash turned my wimpy lashes into worthy lashes. In just a few weeks, the length and fullness of my lashes noticeably increased. I was so impressed by this product I shared the love with my friend who is less than thrilled about the state of her thin eyebrows. In one short week she noticed slight hair growth. We’re positive within a month she’ll have beautiful thick brows. Rapid Lash ($49.95) is available online at rapidlash.com. Less than half the price of the popular Latisse, it works just as effectively, and you don’t need a prescription from your dermatologist.

 My new favorite cosmetic company is Chella Skin Care. I stand behind this company for their incredible products and overall philosophy – they LOVE beauty. Chella offers an abundance of specialized solutions, using advanced clinical science and leading edge formulations to fight the signs of aging. I could gush on and on about Chella’s line of remarkable products, but for the purpose of this article I’ll focus on the eyes.
 Chella’s Lash Full-Fillment Conditioning Treatment ($90) is a miracle product that improves the appearance of mediocre eyelashes by enhancing the length and fullness. The perfectly formulated prostaglandin-free treatment helps restore the natural beauty of your lashes, or in my case brings to life and nourishes non-existent lashes.

When it comes to beauty torture, I can’t think of anything worse than curling the eyelashes. However, I’ve found a simple solution in Chella’s Heated Lash Curler ($20). This device is incredibly easy to use and portable enough to slip into the tiniest of purses. After applying mascara use the heated curler on the lashes, just like you would apply mascara. The results are amazing. This curler makes the metal eyelash curler a relic of the past.

 Chella’s Anti-Fatigue Eye Mask Kit ($12) is a magical treatment, combining collagen and ergothionine amino acid to energize, de-puff and remove dark circles. In just 20 minutes, go from tired eyes to supercharged clarity. The kit also includes a sample of Chella Eye Cream which is so effective, I want to buy a gallon. Check out the spectacular Chella at chella.com.

 Start the New Year out right. Say goodbye to weary eyes and hello to beautiful bright eyes!
