I’m a huge fan of long eyelashes. The fact is I wasn’t blessed with really long lashes like my brother so I’m a sucker for any product that claims to elongate and strengthen them. Many times, I’ll spend hundreds on items that do nothing and last year someone applied fake eyelashes on me and my eye were so irritated, I couldn’t open them for a week.But I recently got my hands on Marini lash and I am absolutely obsessed with this product. 
First of all I love this company. The founder Jan Marin is known as the “Derma Diva.” She’s known for pioneering medically-validated skin care preparations and has formed associations with some of the world's leading physicians and research scientists. Before Glycolic Acid was accepted by the mass market, she had been using it for years. She’s also the first person who marketed a stable vitamin C technology for healthier skin (what a Diva!).Anyway, her Marini Lash shocked me. I’ve been using it for about a month. In the evening, I apply this as if I’m applying eyeliner on my upper eyelash only. It contains a proprietary peptide blend that really works to elongate my lashes. The progress is remarkable. If Mr. DE notices how effective a product is, I know it’s a keeper. (The only thing he notices is the stock market.) On Saturday when I woke up, he was caressing my cheek and staring at me. He remarked “I never noticed how long your lashes are.” Keep in mind this product does not work over night. Au contrare, it takes about a month, but the results are so well worth it. My eyelashes are impressively longer and fuller now. I am so happy! (After using this, I’ve even dared to venture outside my house without mascara.)
I love it!
And guess what, I want you to love it too.
DE is giving away a brand new Marini Lash. Send an e-mail to BeautyLogicBlog@yahoo.com with the subject "DE,Marini Eyelash Extension Needs to be Mine" and then tell me why you need Marini. My cousin will pick out the winner on Sunday August 24 and the winner gets announced August 25.

Maiysha
I remember the first time I ever heard Alicia Keyes sing live. It was about seven years ago. I was a seatfiller at the MTV music awards. She had just come out with her song Fallin. When she began playing that piano and started singing, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The woman's voice was mesmerizing and it captivated me so much that by the end of the performance I was in tears. Since then, I've gone to many concerts, and never have I been so moved by a performance, until I heard Maiysha. Do you guys know her? She’s amazing. Originally from the Midwest, she came to New York, attended Sarah Lawrence College, taught private school, all the while modeling for Ford, trying to pursue her dream of singing. Well I'm happy to say her dream has come true, and her album This Much is True will be released on August 26. Her voice is so beautiful and filled with emotion; and after hearing her, I found myself in tears again.
Anyway, not only was Maiysha's voice beautiful, but she's one of the most stunning women I've ever seen, so you know DE had to ask her a few questions about her beauty regime.
DE: Tell me a little about your morning beauty regimen?
M: I love Mario Badescu Glycolic Facial Cleanser and Dove Moisturize. I'm a huge fan of exfoliation.
DE: What do you use on your fabulous hair?
M: Well it's not all mine (lol) but I use Pantene. I'm a total drugstore girl.
De: What do you use for make-up?
M: I’m big on Kevyn Aucoin's skin enhancer concealer and I use two colors #11 and #13. I also use Nars Bronzer Sin & Casino. I love Nars Lipglosses but my staple is
Rosebud Salve.
DE: What's your must have beauty item?
M : Mascara
De: Which ones?
M: I recently discovered this Sephora brand mascara called Atomic Volumizer. It is great and my Clinique high definition.
Thanks Maiysha
DE and Maiysha
You guys must check this girl out www.maiysha.com. Her album is set to release August 26, but she'll be performing on September 11 at Joe's Pub. (I remember when Alicia was performing at Joe's Pub over 7 years ago and look at her now).

Beautorium for Natural Products
I wanted to let you guys know about an amazing site called Beautorium. You guys know that I love natural products. But many times, a lot of products that claim that they are in fact ‘natural’ are loaded with chemicals and contain like two organic ingredients in them. However, Beautorium takes the guessing game away from you. Having done the homework, Beautorium has hand-picked and carefully screened each and every brand it offers to ensure consumers get the most out of a positively organic experience. Ann Francke and Barry King, the forces behind Beautorium, have forty combined years of industry experience; they know that taking good care of skin means knowing what you put on it. Experts tell us over 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into the body – that women’s bodies can absorb five pounds of chemicals per year from using conventional beauty care products. Beautorium reacted to these facts by sourcing eco-friendly, human-friendly products from Europe (where the standards of natural and organic beauty are more developed) and beyond.
What is more, every order comes with a 60-day 100% satisfaction guarantee.
What makes a product Beautorium worthy?
Beautorium brands are selected according to the following five demanding criteria:
·Natural or organic. Most are certified natural, organic and/or vegetarian by the world’s most reliable independent third party organizations
·Not tested on animals, cruelty-free
·Effective ingredients and with proven benefits
·Professionally and beautifully presented
·Compelling brand and company personality

Random Giveaway
I know this post is late, but DE was in a huge Back in the Days mode yesterday, doing the running man, and just dancing up a storm in her house to old jams. So in honor of my mood, guess what song these lyrics comes from:
"Silky, milky her smile is like sunshine
Thats why I had to dedicate at least one rhyme
To all the cuties in the neighborhood
Cause if I didnt tell you then another brother would
Your sweet like sugar with your gangster talk
Want to eat you like a cookie when I see you walk "
First 3 people that leave a comment on who rapped this song get a free NYC sun2 sun Bronzer (best inexpensive bronzer out there). I'll give you a hint,he's from my old neighborhood.
Yeah to the winners. You know it was LLCoolJ. If you were the first three who commented, please send your address to BeautyLogicblog@yahoo.com.
Hugs,
DE
