You guys- this will be your most favorite Monday Tip of all time- I promise you that!
All girls want longer lashes right? For years {and years and years} I used a product to help make my eyelashes longer and fuller. And it worked! Really well actually. People all the time asked me if I had fake eyelashes on, and I loved it! I don’t love wearing a lot of makeup, so being able to throw on some mascara and have it be such a dramatic effect- well that was my jam. Many people tend to get eyelash extensions by searching for ‘cheap eyelash extensions in Winston Salem‘ or ‘eyelash extensions near me’ on the internet! But, me being me, I stuck to my reliable mascara!
And then I started noticing that my eyelids were getting super red. Not necessarily irritated, and certainly not the the point where I might have needed to consider something like this chalazion treatment, but for sure red rimmed- all the time. And then I started noticing I was getting little stray lashes growing…on my freaking eye lids! NO JOKE friends. I still applied the stuff because I loved how my lashes looked, but everything else was no good. And then I finally came to my senses and realized that not only was I putting something pretty toxic on my eye lids DAILY, but that I was also spending a fortune doing it! This product was like $100 a tube {at my wholesale price since I am an esthetician- so even more for the general public!!}.
Fast forward about six years, and I was no longer using the junk, but I also no longer had long beautiful lashes…until I started adding a drop of Lavender in to each tube of mascara that I got. Not only does my mascara smell heavenly now, but OH MY GOSH- my lashes are back to being super long! All by using ONE drop of a totally natural product. Thats what I call Winning!!!
If you have Young Livings Lavender, just put one drop in your mascara tube and go to town. No extra drops are needed at all! If you are wanting to get yourself a bottle of the oil, just let me know.
There are no doubts about it, if you are looking for ways to boost your eyelashes, there are a number of techniques that you can use to make them look thicker and darker. For example, recently a friend of mine has been using a few different eyelash serums from Xlash UK. Apparently using their serums has had a big impact on her eyelashes. Consequently, you can find a wide range of different eye makeup products on their website so do take a look!
What are some of your favorite ways to get longer eyelashes? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below as I would love to hear them.
I do not recommend doing this with any other brand of oils, since I don’t know their potency. I am not a health professional, so know that this is my opinion.
