blinc does not exist to just be a part of the beauty industry, but to continually advance it. blinc products are unique because their concepts offer a dramatic leap from solutions that existed before, placing them among the best performing products in the world in their respective categories.

blinc Cosmetics’ range includes the original and totally unique mascara that gives your lashes the most incredible volume and length that will last all day and night, ensuring…

NO MORE SMUDGING, RUNNING, FLAKING OR CLUMPING… EVER!

That’s right, you can cry at a wedding, sweat during your work out, rub your eyes at work and your mascara will stay completely in tact. Your lashes will look as good in the evening as they did when you first applied blinc in the morning.

YOUR MOST STUNNING LASHES ARE JUST A TUBE AWAY!

Offering a totally unique solution to conventional mascaras that paint your lashes, blinc creates tiny tubes around each single lash to create definition and enhance length.

Did you know that many conventional mascaras share the same properties as oil-based paints? This can cause your mascara to flake, run and smudge throughout the day and often requires a chemical make-up remover to take off.

By removing the oil used in traditional mascaras (and cheap imitations of tube mascaras), once blinc is applied the tubes bind to the lashes so they can’t run, smudge, clump or flake even if you rub your eyes.

NO MORE HARMFUL EYE MAKE-UP REMOVERS, JUST WARM WATER

What makes blinc mascara so revolutionary, is that even though it gives you great staying power and volume, to remove blinc all you need is lots of warm water and gentle pressure. Warm water will facilitate the tiny tubes sliding off your lashes with ease, without leaving any tint or residue behind. You will actually see the tiny tubes in your hand and as nothing is left behind, there is no long term paint build-up, making blinc mascara healthier for your lashes whilst protecting the delicate skin around your eyes.

Because blinc mascara tubes your eyelashes and doesn’t flake into your eyes, it makes it one of the only mascaras in the world that can be used after eye or facial surgery. It’s also great for sensitive eyes, contact lens wearers and lash extensions!

Here is a little step by step guide of what I did to achieve the results as can be seen in the image above.

1. First facial the skin was very inflammed, acne and scarring were quite severe.

2. Prescribed specific homecare advice suited to Bridies skin condition from our Dr Spiller range and Aspect range.

3. She then commited to undergo a course of six Enzyme Treatments on a weekly basis to kill all the bacteria that had spread under the skin.

4. After Enzyme Treatments were complete we followed on with two Microdermabraision sessions.

5. Bridie then put the facial treatments on hold for a few months while she maintained the prescrived home care advice given.

6. When returning to the salon I was so excited to see how far her skin had come!

Bridie now comes into the salon for Microdermabraison treatment every 6-8 weeks and continues to use her precribed home care range ensuring her skin looks better than ever!

7. Here is a recent comment that Bridie left in our guestbook…

“My skin saviour! You have worked wonders…improvement and perfection, positive thinking and motivation has helped my skin see better days and I couldn’t do it without you! xx Bridie”

Excitement for our new website. A very HUGE thanks to Ned Nikolic from the Melbourne Web Design agency Viscore for not only creating a great looking website ( i think so) but also working to create a functional design that I hope everyone can enjoy.

We would love to hear your feedback…… and please share whatever you like on this site through all the links to social networking buttons on the page.

DO NOT SWIM OR SPA FOR 2 DAYS AFTER THE PROCEDURE TO ALLOW ADEQUATE BONDING TIME

Can I use eyelash curlers with my Eyelash Extensions?

You CANNOT use MECHANICAL eyelash curlers as they can prematurely damage your Eyelash Extensions.

Eyelash extensions are created with a beautiful curl, but for those of you who want an extreme curl we recommend using a HEATED EYELASH CURLER.

How do I take care of Eyelash Extensions?

• Do not wash eyes, swim, shower for 24 hours to allow adequate bonding time for the lashes
• Be gentle with your lashes
• Do not use a mechanical eyelash curler
• Avoid oil based cosmetic products around the eye. This will dissolve the adhesive
• Do not use oil based mascara, if you must use mascara especially designed for your lashes
• Use only water-based facial cleansers
• USE ONLY XTREME LASHES EYEMAKE UP REMOVER. Remember to be gentle with your lashes while removing eye make up
• Do not visit saunas or steam rooms frequently. Routine exposure to heat may cause the bond to loosen.

DAILY TIPS: the most common cause of  lash extensions falling out before the end of your natural lash cycle includes excessive touching, use of oil based products, layering on excessive amounts of mascara which requires excessive cleansing, and frequent exposure to heat sources such as spas, saunas and tanning salons.

LASH CLEANSER  AND HOME CARE PRODUCTS ARE AVAILABLE TO PRESERVE THE LIFE OF YOUR LASHES

The Application Process

The application process is pain-free and relaxing. Clients can relax, rest and even fall asleep during the process

Client lies comfortably on the beauty bed, ensure the client is warm and offer a blanket

Tape will be applied to the bottom lashes to keep the lashes out of the way during application

Client closes the eyes and relaxes

Eyelash extensions are applied to each individual natural eyelash one at a time, depending on your experiences and the amount of lashes needed.

The application time generally takes between 60 – 90 minutes

Touch ups can be done in around 30 minutes

Why do you recommend using different, progressing lengths of eyelash extensions?

In order to provide your clients with a natural look and feel.

The shortest lashes should go on the interior corner of the eye, the longest lengths towards the middle, and intermediate lengths towards exterior corner of the eye.

How many eyelashes are used for each application?

Determined by the fullness preferred by the client, the length should also be taken into consideration.

Each client will desire a different look. This should be determined in consultation.

Generally the most basic look 40-50 lashes are needed on each eye.

For a full glamorous set you can use 60 or more eyelashes per eye.

How much do we charge for our services?

Please refer to the website or our treatment menu

What sizes, types and lengths are available?

On offer is a range of C-Curl lashes which are the shape of a C and J-Curl lashes which are the shape of a J.

Depending on your clients desired look you will determine which type are best suited.

It is also possible to use a combination of both to achieve a more fuller look on the tips of the lashes.

Sizes of lashes are measured in mm. Sizes range from 7mm – 16mm.

Lashes are also available in varying thickness such as .15, .2 and .25 being the thicker of the two. Again the decision to use either will be determined when assessing the client’s needs during a consultation

• You will need to have a consultation and test patch
• No sun exposure, self tan or solarium for four to six weeks prior to commencement of treatment.
• Begin using a SPF 30+ on the areas that are to be treated for two weeks prior and during treatment.
• No waxing, plucking or bleaching for four weeks prior to your treatment.

IPL AFTER CARE

• Immediately after treatment, you can expect a mild sunburn-like sensation
• The treated hair will continue to appear for 7-30 days post treatment. This is not new hair growth, but the treated hairs being expelled from the skin.
• At any given time, some of your hair is not in a phase of active growth. Therefore you will need more than one  treatment to affect the growth of all your unwanted hair.
• Typically, several treatments will be necessary to achieve permanent hair reduction.

Your first visit our highly trained Division 1 Cosmetiv Injecting Nurse will assess your individual requirements thorugh an extensive personalized skin consultation and complete medical history, discussing your concerns, associated risks and desired results.

You will then have a High –Definition consultation with one of our experience doctors, all of whom have undergone training developed by our Medical Board. Once the prescription is filled our Cosmetic Nurse will perform the treatment.

A 14 day review will be undertaken to assess the treatment and answer any questions you may have. Due to the conservative approach taken, you may wish to have a small top up dose. Your injector will then schedule a follow up appointment for approximately 3 or 6 months (depending on treatment frequency) to reassess your ongoing needs.

PLEASE NOTE: if you are currently taking (or have taken within the past 14 days) any blood thinning medication, including aspirin, this may preclude immediate treatment on initial consultation. Our trained medical staff will discuss this with you further.

IBISWorld Research 16/12/2010

“The popularity of cosmetic procedures is being driven by the convenience of ‘lunch hour’ treatments which require little or no downtime, and since many such treatments are not permanent, such as Botox and fillers, more and more women are willing to give them a go.

There is also less stigma associated with this type of treatment….and it delivers visible lasting results.”

• Sunspots / sun damage: the sunspots will darken after treatment and be naturally shed from the skin within 1-2 weeks
• Rosacea: skin tone will be more normal, with less pronounced redness within a week after treatment.
• Spider veins: vessels may disappear after treatment or they may appear darker and then fully or partially fade within 10 – 14 days.

Typically, several treatments will be necessary to achieve complete clearance of sunspots, rosacea and vessels.
