The Week Before:

- eat good:

we all know that what you eat can affect your skin, so try to eat healthy, we want your skin to be as flawless as possible for your big day.

- sunscreen:

many of our brides are not from Hawaii, so we understand you want to check out every beach on the island… and our sun can be extra hot sometimes, so DON’T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN!!!

- wash your face:

keep your face clean.  I know most of you are on “vacation”, and that does give you the right to be a little bit lazy, but please don’t forget to take care of your skin.  Leaving sunscreen on your face overnight can be devastating to your skin, so get your self a good face wash and use it every night.

- spray tanning:

if you feel you absolutely must spray tan… get it done AT LEAST one week prior to the wedding.  Nothing cool about a bride with orange hands and feet!

- eyebrow waxing:

If you are one that gets your brows waxed regularly then you should be fine.  BUT… if you don’t normally get waxed and just doing it for the big day, get it done AT LEAST one week prior to the wedding day.  Wax affects everyones skin differently, so to be safe get it done early.  Don’t worry about having a few hairs grow back, we can always pluck them for you, brow touchups are a FREE service to all of our brides.

- hair color:

although i don’t suggest getting a new color for your wedding day, if you do, have it done AT LEAST one week prior to the wedding so you have time to fix or adjust the color if absolutely necessary.

The Day Before:

- get some sleep:

we know you have a lot to do the night before your wedding, but do your best to get some rest.  Lack of sleep can cause you to have puffy red eyes, not a good look for your wedding.

- wash and dry your hair:

its really important that you wash and dry your hair the night before the wedding day.  Blow dry your hair if possible and NO CONDITIONER unless you absolutely need it.  PLEASE NO WET HAIR THE MORNING OF THE WEDDING.

- polish your face:

make use of the good face products that you may have.  Its always best to wash, lightly exfoliate, tone and moisturize your face the night before the wedding.  Gives you a fresh face for your big day!

The Day of the Wedding:

- HAIR:

you can pretty much just wake up and brush it out!  Don’t worry about making it nice for us, we would rather you just let it be.  NO SYLING PRODUCTS & NO HOT TOOLS.

- FACE:

prepping your face for us is really easy.  Just wash for face in the morning and put on what you would normally put on any other morning.  Everyones skin is different, so if you have a regime that works for you, do it.  Just make sure that your face is clean and moisturized.

The rest is in our hands… all thats left to do is relax and enjoy your wedding!!

Brides love false lashes and so do we.

But how do you know what lashes are good?

How much do they cost?

Where do you get them?

Here is our breakdown of all our fav lashes, from high-end to drugstore.  Does COST = QUALITY when it comes to false lashes???  Not necessarily.  It depends on your natural lashes and the look you’re going for.  Here is a list of all our favorite lashes, what look they give you, who they are good for and just how much they’re going to cost you.

Lashes on a Budget:  $

Great for the bride on a budget.  Maybe you wanna get some fabulous lashes for yourself, I mean it is your special day.  But buying top of the line lashes can get pricy when you outfitting the whole bridal party.  These are a great alternative.

Red Cherry #747M: Longs Drug Store       $2.99-3.99

Great for adding fullness, length and curl to short lashes.  However, look good on girls that already have a thick lash base (the knots at the base of the lashes can be an eyesore on lids with sparse/thin lashes).  These lashes tend to have a heavy curl to them, making them a little more dramatic.  For asian eyes use #747XS (a little shorter)

Pros:  they’re cheap and they look natural

Cons:  they don’t save well, not good for re-use

CHECK THEM OUT!

ARDELL Fashion Lashes #110 Black: Longs Drug Store     $2.99-3.99

Great for adding just a little fullness to average lashes.  Not over the top, very subtle.  Just what you need for a bridal lash boost!  Good for all eye shapes and lash types.

Pros:  Super light weight, really cheap

Cons:  Not good for re-use, tend to be a little too subtle for many

CHECK THEM OUT!

Lovely Lashes:  $$

These lashes are great for brides as well as the whole bridal party.  A little more pricy, but worth it.  At this price range, the actual hair used in the lashes start looking more realistic and the quality of the lashes makes your falsies harder to detect!

Illamasqua No. 19: Sephora    $15.00-17.00

These lashes are beautiful!  The criss cross design gives the illusion of feathery soft lashes without being too much.  Excellent for adding a little drama to your wedding style without looking like you’re trying too hard.  Good for all eye shapes and lash types.

Pros:  black lash base (makes the lash base harder to detect in photos)

Cons:  slightly pricy to get for the whole bridal party

CHECK THEM OUT!

MAC 41 Lash: MAC Cosmetics   $14.00

These lashes are great for the slightly more edgy bride.  With a sharp criss cross design, these lashes are best used to add a little flare to already thick full lashes.  A great stylish addition to your wedding day look!

Pros:  sexy and edgy without being over the top

Cons:  not as natural looking, can look to sharp without sufficient natural lashes

CHECK THEM OUT!

Best of the Best:  $$$

Our pick for the best false lashes goes to Shu Uemura… Shu lashes are hands down the best quality of lashes out there.  They are made of the best materials and the quality of the lash construction is outstanding.  Great for using over and over again, they last for at least 10 applications.  The hardest part is picking your favorite pair!  All of Shu lashes are awesome, but here are our pick for wedding lash bliss:

CHECK THEM OUT!

Soft Cross False Eyelashes: $23.00

Super soft and whimsical… great for asian eyes.  Tapered to enhance your outer lash length.

False Eyelashes Smokey Layers: $28.00

#1 pick for Delish brides.  Gives you just enough to look absolutely fabulous without taking it too far.  Soft and feathery yet full at the same time.  Sexy sexy sexy…

Lavender Bloom false eyelashes: $29.00

Rock it girl!  All the fabulousness of the Smokey Layers with a tint of lavender.  Talk about HOT… it doesn’t get any hotter!

NO MORE… lash application fees.

NO MORE… eye brow touch up fees.

NO MORE… groom touch up fees.

NO MORE… travel fees for Honolulu and Waikiki.

We will also be adjusting our DELISH Contact to make the policies easier to read, understand and follow.  Our contract is created to ease and reassure our brides that their services are GUARANTEED for their wedding day.  So we want to make it as easy as possible to understand.

Lastly, we will be simplifying our payment policies.

We stive to make our policies, prices and payment procedures as hassle free as possible for our brides.  Check back to see our updates within the next few day…

Have an awesome day!!!
