Prép Beauty Parlour Bella Lash Extensions Aftercare

One of the most important parts to keeping lashes looking fresh and full, is aftercare. Using the proper products whether it be make up remover or facial cleanser can create a huge impact on the longevity of your lashes. Thankfully, Prép Beauty Parlour has you covered! Bella Lash has created and come out with many products that will be sure to extend the life of your beautiful lashes, and limit your visits to get fills! (Though it is safe to say we will miss your pretty face!!) Let’s give you a quick walk through on all of our current favourites and lash aftercare products!

Prép Beauty Parlour Bella Lash Extensions Aftercare

♡INTELLISEAL♡

One of Prép Beauty Parlour’s favourite Bella product in which we use after each lash nap is the IntelliSeal. Essentially, the IntelliSeal- as mentioned in it’s name, seals your lashes. Think of it as the top coat and the cuticle oil at the end of the well deserved manicure. Voted ‘Best of Product in 2016’ by LNE Spa & Magazine, it also helps to cure the lash adhesive and conditions your natural lashes. The stronger your natural lashes are, the better the bonding life of the extensions.

♡LASH CLEANSER♡

We love our lash extensions, why? Because it gives us that amazing oomph in both length and volume with little effort! Pop a little bit of concealer on those under eyes, our favourite shimmery eyeshadow, highlight, bronze up, and we’re good to go! So how do we go abouts safely removing all of that product off without damaging or pulling our lashes? Many make up removers on the market contain nourishing oils that will only cause our lashes to fall out quicker. This is why our favourite go-to is the Bella Lash Cleanser! It is gentle, completely oil-free, and make just for eyelash extension wearers! Not only is it the best lash cleanser to remove our make up with, but it also contains Chamomile and Saponaria extracts that nourish the natural lashes! Come in & pick up a bottle!

♡DEEP CLEANSER♡

Another cleanser Prép carries is the Bella Deep Cleanser. We typically do not recommend using a mascara no eyelash extensions safe as it can be very difficult and damaging to remove. Luckily, we do have another cleanser for you know, those “I NEED” mascara days. This formula has a thicker consistency and works harder to remove any mascara residue from Sephora or eyelash extension safe mascara. All without damaging the bond between the extensions! The best thing about this deep cleanser for lashes is that it has added moisturizers and vitamins that help to condition and strengthen your lashes as well as the sensitive area around your eye.

Prép Beauty Parlour’s Guide to Lip Products

By | Makeup, Prép Beauty Parlour

Guide to Best Lip Products | Prép Beauty Parlour

Ah yes- Liquid lipsticks, the hottest trend for the Beauty Bloggers of Instagram and Youtube! Ever since Jeffree Star, Kat Von D., and Kylie came out with liquid lipsticks, everyone has been dying to have the entire collection! Like lipsticks, liquid lipsticks can come in a variety of finishes. Matte (Jeffree Star’s Celebrity Skin is on Prép’s top hot list!), shiny, and sheen. After you’ve applied a coat of colour, it should be smooth, not drying, and lightweight- you shouldn’t even feel it. However, different lipsticks work differently for everyone. Prép artists recommend you apply a thin layer of lip balm or your favourite chapstick before applying a coat of matte liquid lipstick or paint. Experience trial and error to see how much pressure to use when applying as the results can get patchy! Long lasting and so many fun colours and finishes, all in a pretty little tube! Our favourites right now are by Too Faced & Dose of Colour!
 For all compulsive make-up hoarders, we all started with one thing. Lip Smackers. The kind that not only came in your favourite soda drink flavour, but also came in your favourite Troll doll colours. So what is it about lip gloss thats so fun to apply? Well for starters, usually, they come out clear and smell of like you just cracked open a watermelon. Second, who doesn’t applying lip gloss with the doe-foot applicator? Slide, glide, done. The cons? Lip gloss tends to wear off a on faster than other lippies, it can also be very sticky if it the formula is not top quality (Hair tastes great, am I right?) Glosses also tend to be either patchy, or require an abundance of re-applications when you eat all of it. Struggles! However, the colours always reflect the picture-perfect sheen, causing us make-up lovers to have to carry 1, er, 4, in our bag every day!Now- everybody’s (or we hope’s) essential! The original lippy- lipsticks! At Prép some of our favourite brands and sworn by every Prép Make- Up Artist to be art of perfection consists of MAC, Tom Ford, and of course, Charlotte Tilbury. Why? Because the lipstick formula is not only smooth, but creamy, and glides on easily with the sweep of your perfectly manicured hand. Just how lipsticks are supposed to be! Plus- unlike lip glosses or chubby sticks, there are of finishes that you can get from lip sticks! Whether that be satin- shiny but not over the top, matte- goes hand in hand with a bold eye! Or shiny- our personal favourite, sultry yet casual! The perfect lipstick should be conditioning and should melt into your lips without the added grease What’s your favourite?

Lipliners are like the building blocks in the art of lip makeup. If done with precision and perfectly, one can create an illusion of a larger top or bottom lip without the use of fillers or botox. Using the perfect shade of ‘nude’ or ‘my lips but better’ —Prép make- up artists recommend Mac or Make Up Forever for this treacherous task. You always want to aim for the smoothest gliding lip product since the skin your lip is so delicate and thin. If enlarging your lips is not one of your goals, try lining your lips by using a lip liner similar to your lip stick to ensure long lasting, all night wear. Remember to sharpen tha pencil to prevent painful scratches!

Ah yes- Liquid lipsticks, the hottest trend for the Beauty Bloggers of Instagram and Youtube!

Best YUMI™ Lash Treatment Vancouver | Prép Beauty Parlour

YUMI Lash Lift Enhancement Vancouver | Prép Beauty Parlour

By | YUMI

PREP LOGOSo you’ve heard about strip lashes, and lash extensions, but what about lash lifts?

We’ve discussed lash lifts a few times in the past, but we still get plenty of questions regarding the differences between the two lash lift services we offer, procedure, aftercare, etc. I know that when I get any special treatment, I love to read all about it! Even down to the ingredients they use! Are you the same? If so, let’s hop right into it!

First things first, a lash lift is not the same as lash extensions. It does not add length and does not require fills every 2-3 weeks. It is perfect for those lucky ladies with naturally long lashes that just point straight down. Or for those with many long lashes that are too heavy to stay in a curl. The answer to all your miseries? Yumi Keratin Lash Lift. Trust us, we’ve seen the results, and we’re in love! Essentially what the lash enhancing treatment does is bring out the best in your natural lashes. It will lift and curl your lashes so it stays perfectly curled for at least 6-8 weeks! (Of course, some of us have different lash cycles and thus, may affect the longevity of the lashes.) Interested in learning the process? Keep reading below!

If you’re a lover of lash extensions, then you’ll be very familiar with the first steps of the lash lift. Similarly, a gel pad is laid to prevent any of the lash tint to get into your eye. Certified Prép technicians will then apply a silicon bump to lay your lashes on. The sizes of the silicon bump can vary as it determines the curve and curl of your natural lashes. If you have shorter natural lashes, we would most likely used the smallest sized bump, if we use the largest one, your lashes would be flat (This is sometimes used in a procedure that relaxes the lash lift)!

During the YUMI Lash lift, your lashes will then get lifted and perming solution will be applied to each individual lash. The lashes now begin lifting/perming! A fixing solution is then apply over to hold the lashes onto the bump the proper amount of time. Lastly, the lash tint is applied to darken light lashes! Did you know that many brunettes often have blonde tips on their lashes? Tinting them help bring out the length!
