"Thicker, Fuller and Longer Eye Lashes, Naturally."

I know my subject sounds like I'm about  to promote or launch a product that delivers, "Thicker, Fuller and Longer Eye Lashes." In actuality, I am not launching or promoting such a product but here to share with you how I manage to achieve healthy looking lashes, naturally. 

A Brief Overview Of My Eye Lashes:

Overall, my eye lashes are fairly healthy since I've never had any issues like hair breakage and shedding but still thought it could do with a boost. Yeah, I'm greedy. I want 'em longer and fuller:) Who wouldn't? So, in my quest to preserve my fairly healthy looking lashes, I'm  very careful with the products I choose to use on my lashes and near my eyes. And I prefer to not wear mascara on a daily basis, even if it's a natural formula.

Lash Conditioning:

In my opinion, great looking lashes should start with proper care.  You may want to read my most recent post entitled, "DIY Eye Lash Conditioning Treatment."  

My tools & products for great looking lashes: (Pictured above & to your left.)

To pull off great looking lashes, one must find the right tools to suit your needs. Although I'm not a daily mascara user, when I decide to indulge, I want my lashes to make a statement. The products and tools that never fail me are my beloved Miessence Mascara, E.L.F's Mechanical Eyelash Curler, priced at $1.50 and available at most dollar stores and the Tweezerman Folding Eyelash Comb. If you can't source the latter locally, then follow the link provided. I was able to source mine at the Rexall Pharmacy for under $12.

Steps I take for great looking lashes:

The first thing I do is to line my lashes with a liquid or pencil liner before curling and applying my first coat of mascara, then I use the Tweezerman Folding Eyelash Comb to separate my lashes.  It's important to do this while mascara is still wet.  I then repeat this process depending on the coats of mascara I am going to apply. If you follow these simple steps, I guarantee you'll always achieve great looking lashes. 

Additional tips:

• To promote healthy eye lashes, limit your use of waterproof mascaras -- water resistant may be a better option. I find waterproof formulas can be way too harsh on the delicate eye lash hairs, especially when used on a daily basis. Some may argue this but this is my personal findings.

• Use a natural carrier oil like Olive or Jojoba to remove your mascara. It's gentle and conditions while removing eye makeup.

• Opt for natural mascaras since they don't contain an array of toxic substances that may cause irritation to your eyes. If you have sensitive eyes, then go  natural.

Stay Beautiful!
