Lashes Galore!

All About Volume and Length

We wanted to include a beauty section that will discuss the obsession and lust that we have for finding ways to improve our lash length and increase volume. Here are some methods to going about to achieve this dramatic look!

1. Semi Eyelash Extensions

Ever wonder if there was any way to make the morning makeup ritual somehow shorter? Try getting semi permanent lashes from your local salons! No mascara is needed after you get this 30 minute to 1 hour procedure. One by one, synthetic fibers are added to your natural lashes. We've tried it and were impressed with the results. Eyes look dramatic and enlarged and it was as if we had all the makeup we needed for the day. The negatives we had with these lashes were that they caused discomfort when taking a shower and that it hurt if you slept on them. Also, these are temporary and will fall out meaning, you will need to replace them every 2-3 weeks.

2. Latisse

The best beauty discovery to date, apply Latisse on your upper lashline and in about 2 months, you'll see longer and thicker eyelashes! A painless but expensive method, you'll be paying about $100 USD for a 3 ml bottle that will last for about 2 months. We've tried many products, but Latisse surpasses them all! Is it worth it? You bet! Results are guaranteed!

3. False Eyelashes

The quickest and most inexpensive method to achieving long lashes are through conventional false eyelash strips and individual clusters. There are plenty of styles and colors to choose from: long and thick to natural and wispy. Our favorites are MAC lashes as their exceptional quality will allow you to reuse the lashes several times before you toss them in the rubbish bin. Try several brands so you can see which ones work best for you.

4. Mascara

Mascaras like Dior Show and Cover Girl's Lash Blast will add wonders to your natural lashes. But as ShyGirlBeauty states in her review for Cover Girl's Lash Blast, you need to go on a search to find the mascara that caters to your lash needs. Other great mascaras to try are Lancome Hypnose, Chanel Inimitable, MAC Plush Lash and Givenchy Phenomenon.
