REVLON BEYOND NATURAL LASHES IN FLIRTY

I picked up the Revlon Beyond Natural lashes in Flirty a few weeks ago. I want to sport some fab lashes on Easter! I don't wear falsie's too often, but I'm trying to get better at putting them on.  I thought these were really cute ones! I also picked up the Revlon Precision lash glue.


Is it just me, or don't they look more natural dead on than when looking down? That's always been funny to me. Hmmm.... I still haven't figured out how to re-use lashes yet! Please leave tips in the comments below!!

TALIKA LIPOCILS EXPERT EYELASH GEL




"Discover the absolutely safe solution to naturally enhance the beauty of your lashes in just 28 days.

This amazing lash enhancer is composed of a blend of natural actives from the inventor of the original eyelash growth product in 1948 in France.

It has no side effect.

Whether you feel your lashes look too short, sparse, brittle or lack shine and curl, or if you just dream of longer, shinier, sexier looking lashes, Lipocils Expert is your answer…. without side effects."

I really can't complain in the lash department, as I've got a decent amount. But who wouldn't want just a wee bit more? Talika sent me the Lipocils Expert for review some time ago and I've officially been using it for one month now, though it says results in 28 days. ;)

I apologize for blurry day 1 pictures, I didn't know how to use the setting on my camera for close ups.  Lipocils claims this will condition, repigment, and curl lashes. I can honestly say it's done just about everything is claims!! My lashes are softer thanks to the conditioning properties of this product. My lashes are a bit darker, though not much as they are dark already.**If your lashes are blonde I think this would be much more apparent for you**  As far as curling my lashes, they had a nice curl on their own before, so I can't really speak on that.

Now...on their site it does say "if you just dream of longer, shinier, sexier looking lashes, Lipocils Expert is your answer…. without side effects." Are my lashes longer? I think perhaps they might be! It's hard to tell since I had such horrid day one photos---so sorry!! But I think since the Lipocils has been such a great conditioner, it's made my lashes much healthier and has allowed them to grow to their natural potential. Wearing water proof mascara most days is really drying to my lashes and I noticed when removing it, I would loose a lash, sometimes two. I've lost only one or two lashes in the last month altogether!!

I'm calling this a success!! I will keep using this for sure! Of course there are two things that I am not crazy for with this product, so let's talk about that. Here's the applicator:



I certainly appreciate the felt tip to apply the gel at the roots of my lashes, but it makes it really difficult to get to the lashes closest to my nose! I ended up using a spooli of my own to get to those parts--on the days I actually had time to do that.  The other thing that I am not super excited about it the price, $55!! Now, this tube will last you a long time I'm sure...but like mascara, don't you need to discard it after 3 months? I'm not sure I want to spend over $200 a year on my eyelashes alone. I suppose if I had fewer, lighter lashes I would consider it because the benefits are there. What do you guys think?

**UPDATE: The lovely Sue at Talkia sent me some very helpful information and I wanted to share it with you!**

"This tube is a 2 month supply so it’s $27.50 per month if you want to break it down. It can last longer if you are using it for maintenance. The tube is still good for 1 year (opened).  For maintenance you can use 3 times per week once per day."

Who is planning on entering my "Sedona Lace your Halloween Face" contest? It will be broken up into two catagories this time: beginners and advanced! So please don't let anything stop you from joining in on the fun! Prizes will be a professional set of makeup brushes provided by Sedona Lace and the newest Sedona Lace Eyeshadow palette provided by me!

2 SET'S OF FALSIES AND A WEDDING


I hope everyone had a great weekend! I went to a wedding this weekend with my family and had a really good time! I tried some new products and wanted to share my thought with you guys. First, I bought another set of false nails by Kiss. I reviewed Kiss Custom Fit Nails before, but I wanted something a bit more dramatic for this weekend. So I went with the Kiss EverLasting French Nails. I got them again in the "real short" lengh because I can't stand very long nails. The white tips on these are much thicker than the other nails I used before. What I love most about Kiss nails is that they do not make my fingertips feel sore, like many other falsies do! They always fit perfect and I have small  nails!! They do have many larger nails in the kit too, so I think everyone can find a good fit. You can see the nails on me in the pictuer with my hubby!!



I also tried for the first time Revlon's Fantasy lengths false eyelashes. They are the self-adhesive kind, so I thought it would be easier to apply. Yeah, not for me! I had to go with my ELF natural lashes because I was running out of time! I didn't even get to take a picture of my makeup for you guys! I suppose I just need to play with the Revlon ones a little more. I'll get another set and let you know when I get the hang of it!



Don't forget to enter my NARS give-a-way! Be sure to read all the directions before entering! Thank you!

ELF NATURAL LASH KIT





Ok, so this is the first time I've tried any "falsies!" I know they aren't perfectly placed, but I think they look alright. They were a little hard for me to put on, even afer watching multiple youtube gurus show me how! But I'm sure with some practice, I'll be a pro in no time!

These are only $1 from ELF, so I figured they would be good for me to learn on. They seem to fit my lid, so I didn't have to cut them. I also didn't use the glue that came with the lashes. I can't remember what glue I used, but it seemed to work just fine. I admit though, I didn't leave them on for very long! They felt a little funny and I was just staying home anyway.

As I mentioned, these are the natural lashes. They also sell dramatic and single lashes; I got two of each kind and I will post my results as I use them. This is something fun I think for going out, not really day to day practical for a stay at home mom--but very fun to play with!
