lashes
Good morning babes!
I hope you all had a wonderful rest and are ready to tackle the day head on.
Ive recently re discovered Maybelline Pro Extension's XXL mascara. When I brought this a year ago, I was after something that gave the same effect as Maybelline's The Falsies (My fav drug store mascara) but a little more length. Also, as i'm not 100% confident with applying eyelashes I thought this could be great as an alternative for every day wear.
After a week of using it I threw it out. I didn't like it. But I thought I would give it another chance. I have read lots of blog post's on it and thought that because there was so many positive reviews, I will try again.
This mascara has two steps to it. 1)- Primer. I don't understand why the primer is white? If it was black it would be just as effective. and 2) - The mascara part.
I applied this first by using the primer. As an avid primer user, I guess there isn't any harm in applying a primer to your lashes. To me, because it's white so in my mind i'm like 'this is like gluuuue, eww' . But that's ok. Then after applying the mascara straight after you can definitely notice the increased volume.
The packaging is sleek and effective, It's a slim mascara, so it can fit easily in your handbag.
The best thing about this mascara is that it doesn't budge at all. Its waterproof, cry proof, hayfever proof, life proof! But that is also my negative point. To get it off, you can't just wash your face. You have to use a make up remover and be a little tough. I like to use water only around my eye area because its so sensitive!
So overall I will continue to use this mascara, especially over summer. I'm glad i've given it a second chance. It proved me wrong! :)
Aloha beautiful readers!!
So I love the look false eyelashes give you, especially the finished product with your mascara and eyeliner done. And after having a successful time with another elf product I thought why not give their lashes a go to.
I was tossing up between Kmart branded lashes and elf. They were around the same price and I thought id get elf.
So first off, in the eyelash kit you get one set of false lashes and adhesive glue. Stop right now and put the glue in the bin! It's terrible. Messy and doesn't hold in the slightest. I luckily had left over glue from a previous kmart set of lashes that I was able to use.
Once you trim them a bit and get them on they do look good. Run eyeliner over the top lash line to blend it in and mascara over the lashes for a more dramatic effect.
These are reusable or you could leave them on. I know of someone who kept them on for 20 days!! Bit extreme but whatevs!
How have you found these falsies?
Xx
