So it's kind of slow on the boards (and in real life for me) today, so I thought I'd post something that might be of interest whether you're having your make-up done or doing it yourself. Even if someone else does my make-up, I still like doing my own mascara. I wish I'd done more research last year because now I really like my lashes and wish they had looked better for the wedding.
I have super straight eyelashes that don't stay curled easily. I've used the Lancome Cils Booster XL for a long time now (maybe 6+ years?) after I had my make-up done there for fun once. It made my lashes look really full and now I see things like this in the drug store. More importantly, I noticed after using it for a few months that my eyelashes were actually healthier, longer and didn't fall out as much. I wouldn't say it would help you grow
more lashes, just condition and protect the ones you grow naturally. I would just put some CoverGirl mascara over it.
Well, a couple years ago I realized I could do that in the morning and then if I was going to go out that night, I would re-curl my lashes and give them a second coat of mascara. This is a tricky situation. Mostly because even 8 hours later, the mascara was a little tacky and would stick to the curler as well as start to clump. I managed and that's what I did for my wedding, it worked ok.
Well, some of you know I have a couple YouTube make-up gurus I watch (Blair aka juicystar07, my favorite, and her sister Elle aka allthatglitters21). Well Elle did a thing talking about her favorite products and said that of any mascara (department store or drug store), L'oreal Telescopic was her favorite.
She was totally right. I still have to do my second curl and coat (my lashes are THAT stubborn), but it seriously looks like I have amazing lashes - not tacky/sticky the second time, no clumping, long and curly all night! I do use the Lancome because I think it adds some thickness and I swear it does something to keep them from getting brittle or whatever, but I've used the mascara straight and it looks great too.
Ok, that's all
