CBD: The New Beauty Ingredient
CBD, which stands for cannabidiol, is the newest (and hottest) trend in beauty right now. It is derived from the hemp plant and seems to be in everything from essential oils to toothpaste to shampoo. CBD is an effective ingredient; it is anti-inflammatory, an antioxidant and has antibacterial properties. Unfortunately not all products that market with hemp ingredients actually contain CBD. Hemp oil covers any oil that comes out of the hemp plant. It does contains CBD. Hemp Seed Oil does not contain CBD, but it does contain all essential amino acids and omega 3 fatty acids.
Luxury cannabis brands are becoming more widespread in 2020; more national beauty retailers are embracing cannabis brands into their stores. Brands like Black Dahlia, Saint Jane Beauty and Lab to Beauty are categorized as "luxury" cannabis brands. The word "luxury" is reimagined in this context; it means tractability, product quality and good design. With the addition of luxury cannabis company Lord Jones being added to Sephora's skin care portfolio in 2018, this signaled a big business opportunity. Here are a few of the most popular luxury brand CBD productson the market today.
Luxury Beauty Serum by Saint Jane $125.00
Contains 500 mg of CBD and 20 active botanicals, this is one of the most high-powered CBD cosmetic products. Made with cold-pressed grapeseed oil, it is formulated to deeply moisturize your skin and give you a glow.

Face Lotion by Black Dahlia Essentials $45.00
This 100 mg CBD lotion, is an all natural skin crème that is fast-absorbing, non greasy and pH balanced.
There are 5 key trends that are used to define luxury cannabis: the quality of the product; if it promotes a health conscious lifestyle; it appeals to the broader demographic; it takes into account the female perspective; and it taps into customers emotional awareness of wellness and self-care. All of this is a great segue into how CBD will change in 2020. Only the strong CBD brands will survive, lesser quality brands will be weeded out. Everyone will need to become a CBD expert which will mean consumers will demand more transparency from CBD brands. Expect to see more leave-on skin products and edible beauty supplements like peptide powders and collagen bars. And CBD will get specific with skin care targeting specific areas and issues. Note: Some CBD related product websites require you to vaidate your age as 21 and over.
Restorative Eye Cream by Mary's Methods $65.00
This eye cream has 50mg of Full Spectrum Activated hemp extract. It also has babassu seed oil, jojoba seed oil and vitamin E. This innovative formula reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and brightens the under eye area. Image courtesy of Marynutritionals.com

The large size, 60 ml (1 oz), has 200 mg total cannabinoids. Made with whole cannabis flowers grown in the Sonoma County sun. It can be used for muscle and joint pain; and to soothe skin conditions. Image courtesy of tsosonoma.com

LASH OUT
“I believe in Simplistic, Rich Beauty”
Makeup Artist Shalonda A.
Beauty, Cosmetic & Personal Care. www.shalondaa.com
In our continuing beauty series, Makeup & Beauty expert Shalonda A. gives Haute Is Online the eye-opening news on lash extensions, from start to finish!
Visiting Shalonda A. in her functional workspace at the beautifully quaint Salon Izzi in Farmington Hills MI. Where we get an up-close and very personal insight into the world of eyelashes and lash extensions. Beginning the process Shalonda meticulously inspects each patron to determine if their natural lashes are healthy enough to handle lash extensions because the lashes have adhered to the persons natural lash it is vital that they can take the weight. When I consult with a client I look for the following: Thickness or diameter, length, and curl of their natural lash and the shape of the eye itself. This will determine the final outcome of the extensions, the types of lashes I add and the way I add them to create the desired effect. Once a client decides to do the extensions we determine the overall look they desire. Do they want a natural thicker appearance or a pop-to the eye by having a winged look or just a more open wide-eye effect where I add longer hairs to the middle of the eye? Once the look is determined we move toward the process of creating the eyelash shape. I prefer tranquil zen-like quiet to my studio surroundings where the client can almost fall asleep during the process it helps me to focus if the client is relaxed and the mood is light and easy.
SALON IZZI | 23023 Orchard Lake Rd # B, Farmington, MI 48336 | (248) 987-2940
Step 1. ASSESSMENT
I first clean and prime the natural lashes to make sure that they are free of oils, dirt and old makeup. I then begin to map-out the lash placement and what sizes lashes will be used.
Step 2. APPLICATION
Once the shape and look of the lashes has been decided, I then place gel pads around the eye or I lightly tape the bottom lashes so that they don’t touch, this makes it easier for adhering the new lash extensions on top of the natural lash. Now I start placing each lash, filling in the natural lashes with the extensions to create the final look. The whole process can take up to 2 hours because it takes anywhere from 45 minutes to about an hour per eye depending on the client's needs. It can take anywhere from 75 to 100 lash extensions to create a look and I must duplicate the look for each eye so that they are balanced.
Lash fact: The top eyelid usually accommodates approximately 150 to 200 individual hairs, while the bottom eyelid may have somewhere between 75 and 100 hairs.
Step 3. MAINTENANCE & CARE
Good maintenance is a MUST!
Once the lash extensions are completed I always stress great maintenance care to all of my clients, it is so important for the overall eye health to keep the lashes clean and healthy by gently washing and brushing them thoroughly, maintaining the extensions carefully with a nightly routine. I stress to avoid using makeup and mascaras with extensions. We offer an After Care kit that clients can purchase to assist in the process. These tips can help prevent: lash loss, sanitary issues such as eye infections or mites.
(Demodex is a genus of tiny mites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals. Around 65 species of Demodex are known. Two species live on humans: Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, both frequently referred to as eyelash mites).
A full set of extensions are $160.00 and 2 week fills are $80.00
