Lets face it, you need practice before you get good at applying false lashes.
It took me a few years to get the hang of lashes, I always liked the look of them but they always stabbed my skin which made my eyes water and that means one thing…bye bye lashes! They just felt soooo uncomfortable to wear. So after a few attempts I kind of just gave up and never wore them unless I was going out or was wearing a very dark eye. But after going to MOOD makeup school I learned that I was applying them in a horrible way and learned how to do it properly, now I am a little *Huge* fan of lashes, I don’t wear them on a daily basis but when I want to be more glam I definitely wear them, and you can get so many styles, natural, volumising, lengthening, drag…. you name it you can find everything you want.
Well about a month ago I had around 7 pairs of heavily used eyelashes in my eyelash drawer… yup I had a whole drawer for a few old pairs! I looked at it and thought “wow this is a sad situation” and I remembered my friend Sandra María *she is a fellow makeup artist you can go to her website by clicking her name* told me about this website called Shop Miss A, they are a cruelty free shop based in Dallas Texas, who have pretty great eyelashes and other items for a DOLLAR! And I am not joking when I say these are good, they literally are great quality and 100% human hair… AND JUST A DOLLAAAAARRR! So obviously I’m thinking… I’ll give myself a budget of $100 and see what mayhem I can cause. Yeah so, being the extra person that I am… a few pairs of lashes became 65 pairs of eyelashes and 4 boxes of individual lashes! soooo 69 items of the lash variety… I know… I’m not normal…. I won’t be able to show you all of my new lashes *duh* but I will insert a few pictures of what I got just so this blog post doesn’t turn in to a long ass picture post that takes you a month to go through.
My eyelash drawer after I stacked my new babies in ❤ each row is 2-4 boxes, the only old ones are the peekaboo lashes on the edge with the glues.
OH YEAH! I also got a few other bits that I wanted to test out and see if they were any good, I got 3 sheets of metallic temporary tattoos a pack of 5 pairs of hoop earrings and a pack of 6 stud earrings. 2 sets of septum rings one in gold and one in silver *I know I’m late to the party but they are kind of cool* a beauty sponge *It is great!* a sili sponge * do not recommend, they suck* , two blushes, one in coral *that’s the broken one! my son got to it before I could take a picture* and the other one in mauve. then I got one bronzer, dark eyelash glue from Kleancolor and waterproof eyelash glue from Cala, eyelash applicator, a packet of nail art studs that I am hoping to incorporate to my makeup.
Flash Tattoos ❤
Earrings, Septum rings and nail art studs!
Two liquid lipsticks from AOA Studio in their Wonder metal line, the first one is called Cosmo and is a maroon/purple shade, the other one, Rouge, is a Greyish black with silver reflection, I love them both, but I have no other comparison, but I like these a lot. then I got another Liquid lipstick from a brand called Santée, the colour is a bright orange/coral shad…and I hate it,
Highlighters, Bronzer and Blushes.
it goes lumpy on my lips so I don’t think I will try more of their liquid lipsticks and last but by no means least I got two AOA Studio Highlighters in Icing, which is a white highlighter with a blue reflection and Cream puff and that is my fave! it is a glittery champagne colour that can either look pretty subtle or bling bling!
I didn’t mean for this blog to get this long so I will leave you here!
Hope you have a lovely day!
