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
