Flashy Falsies:

I've never felt more beautiful. Doing a makeover on the inside really helped me on the outside. Getting rid of things that weren't good for me emotionally and physically was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I still am a candy addict and will binge on anything with frosting or chocolate, but that's part of being made of sugar and spice! =) I've never been a fan of false lashes. I've always tried wearing them and could never get the lash band close enough to the line of my lid. The thick banded lashes especially (found mostly in volumizing lashes) really bothered me because I have never been a fan of thick liner on the top lid. But one night while getting ready with my gay boys (one who is a MAC artist) pulled out an amazing pair of lashes that he said I had to try. So I gave it a whirl. I instantly fell in love and false lashes have become my go to beauty best friend ever since. The trick is to stay away from volume lashes. You can still get lashes with volume just as long as they are lengthening. The length balances out the volume and you won't end up with a thick banded lash. Most people use Duo for lash grip. It's thick and white, and you have to let it set for 30 seconds and wait about 5 to 10 minutes to let it dry completely clear. I don't have that kind of time so I suggest using Ardell Lash Glue. It's clear and you can immediately apply your lashes after you swipe the glue across the band. This glue has seriously changed my life! Place the band as close to the lash line as possible. When the glue dries, take your favorite mascara (mine personally is MAC Falsies Extreme Black) and apply it to the falsies and your natural lashes. This will make the grain of both lashes follow the same exact direction and makes it look more natural. It's so easy and can make your photos pop. I feel more confident and beautiful with lashes anytime I go out. I even wear them to work most of the time. If you're not a falsie girl, just wear them out on occasion. The compliments will flow. Oh and one more thing. My favorite falsies of all time, that lasted about a full month were Duo lashes. You may have to trim the edges if you have wide set eyes, but just avoid the Duo lash grip. It's not horrible, there is just a better glue out there! Well.... there you have it beauties! A quick little Sunday Morning lash lesson. I suggest you try it!
