Stuck On You: The Best Lash Glue I’ve Ever Tried

, , , , , 0

It’s no secret I’m obsessed with dramatic fake lashes.

The key to a successful lash application lies not only in the lash you choose but the glue you use as well. If your glue is trash your lashes will be trash as well. sorry.

I’ve tried almost every popular lash glue on the market, Ardell, Revlon, DUO…. but I didn’t find my true holy grail lash glue until I tried Lock On Lash Adhesive by Danessa Myricks. I’ve been using Lock On Lash almost exclusively now for over a year and it never fails to hold my lashes on all day and night long.

My favorite thing about this lash glue, besides it’s strong hold, is that it has a brush tip applicator so it’s easy to swipe the glue on your lash band without making a mess. The latex free formula comes in black and clear so you can use it no matter what color of glue you prefer. For me this adhesive is all pros and no cons, I’ll definitely be stocking up on some more tubes when I’m at The Makeup Show this year!

Quick DIY: “Today I Feel…” Lash Art

Quick DIY: “Today I Feel…” Lash Art

, , , 1

Am I the only one that will browse Pinterest for about 15 minutes and feel like I can make anything?
I came across this super cute false eyelash art on my pinterest, originally posted on MakeMyLemonade.com, and thought that it would be perfect for my beauty area. 
The best part about it was that it was super easy, so I could actually complete it and not give up half way through like all of my other DIY projects. 
All you need is…. 
A picture frame– I chose one with a double matte so that there was space between the back and the glass so the lashes wouldn’t get pressed flat
False lashes- I’m a hoarder so I have a ton of old pairs that I’ve never used!
Paper 
Glue 
& a pen 
The finished product
I love it & it fits in perfect in my room!

My eyelashes are POPPING with Rimmel Extra POP Lash

It seems as though colored mascaras are all the rage again. Drugstore fave Rimmel has released a Limited Edition collection of colored mascaras, which I found at Walgreens. The collection featured for colors, purple, green, black and turquoise. I’ve never tried a colored mascara but for less than $3 ($2.79) I picked up POP Turquoise and decided to give it a shot.

The wand is pretty average. Not too big not too small. No bells and whistles which is fine with me as I’m only here for the color.

As you can see the mascara did give some color to the lashes but it was not as bold as I had hoped. The color is very pretty and has a bit of iridescent shimmer that you can’t really see in the photos. The formula was a little “wet” for my taste and I had to build up several coats to get the color that you see here. The packaging states that this mascara has a “lash building” volumizing formula. negative. I’m not seeing any added volume. Overall I think this is a decent colored mascara for the price. It required some “work” to get the color to show on my bare lashes but I think it could be wonderful over a white lash primer.

The Nail File: Haul

The Nail File: Haul

While I was in Chicago last weekend I got a chance to visit my favorite nail polish wholesale store. I tried to contain myself so I only picked up five china glaze polishes for about $3 each, some Dashing Diva Design FX nail decals for $5 each and two packs of my favorite lashes, Ardell “Demi Wispies” for $2 each.

(L-R) Purrfect Plum, Glitter all the way, Jungle Queen, I Herd That, Pizzazz

 
(L-R) The Finer Things in Life, Time to Strut, Crystal Assets
For only $5 these all come with 36 appliques! They can also be used with a gel overlay so that they last for two weeks. Can’t wait to test these out.

(L-R) I Herd That, Jungle Queen, Purrfect Plum
two coats of each polish, no topcoat

Glitter All the Way
(two coats, no top coat)
This is part of the new holiday collection but it honestly reminds me of Mardi Gras in a bottle. It was much easier to dab this polish on than to swipe it on like most polishes but I love it none the less. 
Pizzazz
(two coats no topcoat)
This color is very similar to a lot of other rainbow glitters out there, Deborah Lippman “Happy Birthday”, Sephora by OPI “Sparktackular” and OPI “Rainbow Connection”, so check your stash before purchasing 🙂
 
Those glitters were ridic hard to photgraph
