CJ Arguellez owner of Lash Me now Y Mas had this to say about her store, “Being able to bring this store to Brownfield is scary but exciting at the same time I don’t know how to explain it. This is such a small town. I mean I started this business a year and a half ago from my house and I started with false lashes and makeup and it just got too big for me to handle from my house.So I started this business and now I also sell clothes on top of doing makeup and lashes so it’s very exciting.” The Brownfield News also asked Mrs.Arguellez if she had anything exciting planned. She said, “Well this year I have a harvest festival candidate. The local business used to host candidates for the festival but they haven’t done it in a couple of years so our business will be the first to do it in a very long time. As of now that’s the only thing we have planned. I mean I still have a job myself but thankfully I have a supporting family and friends that are willing to help me with this”. Lash Me Now Y Mas is now open. Its hours are Monday-Friday from 11-7 and Saturdays from 11-2. Mrs. Arguellez and the gang are most definitely ready to serve the community.
