False eyelashes..what's all the hype about?


False Lashes...
Hi my darlings! So let's get to it we've all seen all of the deceiving mascara commercials that state "if you wear this mascara you get instant volume & length and all that good stuff," but now what happens when you actually buy the product and it fails to live up to your expectations? Its a bummer I know. Being the makeup junkie that I am I've tried l'oreal, covergirl, maybelline, lancome, MAC, and chanel to name a few. Some of them did great job and others were ehhh mediocre lol. It really comes down to what you like, some people prefer the natural and others like myself prefer the dramatic look. You cant really get the "dramatic look," of lashes unless you already have long lashes or you choose to pile on coats of mascara. Being the makeup junkie I am I've done the piling on, and wearing different mascaras together and nothing works. What's left to do then? You move on to falsies:)! Now you can get false lashes anywhere from your local pharmacy or your nearest department store like Macys, Bloomingdales, and Nordstrom. False lashes come in different styles their are natural looking ones and then they have thick dramatic ones its your preference. You can find individual lashes where you add them to your lashes where you feel you need more length and volume. Individual lashes give you more control. Then we have the strip lashes that you can get at your local pharmacy. With the strip lashes, you just apply lash adhesive (lash glue) to the strip let it dry for a few seconds then place it very close to your lash line. If you're thinking about getting this type of lashes a great brand to try is Ardell lashes. This is a picture of a pair:

A great lash adhesive to use that I've personally used is the Duo lash adhesive in clear. They also have one that dries to a darker tone like a black but that one could be tricky to use just takes practice though. I prefer the clear one. You can find this glue at Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens, Duane Reade etc. It retails for seven dollars. Here's a picture:


Now last but not least there is another method to false lashes and its the professional ones. You can go to certain salons that will do them for you it could range from $25 to $200 it just depends where you go. With these lashes you have to go in regularly like every two weeks to get them filled in if any of the lashes have fallen out. You can also get them done every month I believe.
With all the hype of false lashes and everyone is getting them its tempting to try. There's different methods you just see what works for you. I have yet to try the professional ones but I will soon! So its your choice you can stick to mascara or go with false lashes. FYI when you wear false lashes, you should also wear a coat or two of mascara to blend everything and make then look more like your own.
Anyways loves thats all for now Happy Holodays enjoy! & remember to stay beautiful inside & out xoxo

You wear to much makeup! SAY WHAT?!

If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all..haven't we all heard this at one point or another? I admit I'm a college student who doesn't always have time in the morning but then again who does? But somehow I make time for my makeup lol! I'm talking 7:30 class in the am and I wake up at 5 just so I have time to do EVERYTHING in the morning. I'm addicted to beauty as this blog says so obviously I wear makeup daily..lets just say makeup IS MY RELIGION! Since I've been wearing it for awhile I've heard "You wear to much makeup!" but honestly I've watched enough youtube videos to know that its not that I wear so much it just looks like I do. Yes it sounds crazy that I go to class wearing all the works on my face but its what im used to :) To all the girls who just wear like mascara and eyeliner and some blush and their out the door thats great wish I could do that! It comes down to preference I'll admit maybe what I wear to school is a bit much since its just school but otherwise that ehhh its fine. I have friends who get away with powder and mascara and I just say "go you!" lol. I'm accustomed to the "made up look" so I'll be doing it as long as I can hahaa! Don't get me wrong I go makeup less somedays so I've come a lonnngg way ask my friends :) At the end of the day you should wear what you want and rock it, ts your style why not ;) If you ever had to hear you wear to much or to little this is for you :) SO WEAR IT, LIVE IT, ROCK IT, LOVE IT & always remember to stay beautiful on the inside and out xoxo lovelys!

kardashian Kolors !

Are you keeping up with the kardashians?! :)

If your answer is no then shame shame shame! LOL! The lovely kardsahians are still finding ways to grow their empire won't argue with that! Just Last week they launched Kardashian Kolors by Nicole by OPI. Now if you are completely obsessed with the kardashians then you're probably trying to get hese polishes! Their exclusively sold at Walmart and they came out for the holidays. I'm pretty sure they will be permanent:). I rushed over to my nearest Walmart when I heard this but I don't think they had them yet. So my step was the walmart website! Unfortunately they were sold out except for one color "Hard kourt Fashonista." All of the polishes are incorporated with one of the names of the kardashians for example "Kimpletely in love," "Sealed with a Kris,' and "Khloe had a little Lam Lam." If you're interested in the colors check you're local walmart or check the walmart website :) Here you can see the all the colors, fourteen in total :) enjoy! xoxo stay beautiful!
