Quick Tip: Curling Lashes

Are you one of the people not blessed with gorgeous curled lashes? Do your lashes droop fast just after curling and applying mascara?

Yeah? Me too. 

My lashes are naturally VERY straight, and even point down for that fact, which make it incredibly hard to get those beautiful long curled lashes. Because they are so straight, they do not hold a curl at all, and barley budge when I take a curler to them. You can imagine my frustration. Mascara just doesn't look right when its on straight lashes!!

But, alas, about 7 years ago I figured out a trick that works and have been using it ever since!

Its so simple and quick you can easily incorporate it into your routine

First make sure that your eyelash curler is CLEAN, especially for this technique. It can turn into a hot mess real fast if you don't do this. 

Secondly, use a straightener, or hair dryer and apply the heat to the curler for about 4-6 seconds! No longer!

Thirdly, Tests the curlers temp on the back of your hand, or wrist before putting it directly onto your eye. Metal heats very fast and I can tell you right now it is not fun to burn your eye with a curler. Learn from my mistake!

Curl as normal, you will not have to pump the curler to many times because the heat will set it faster. 

And volla! A beautifully curled eyelash that will stay in place all day!

Another Tip: Using a waterproof mascara is crucial for us straight lashes kids, waterproof has more wax in it, which will help hold the curl. I have tried using regular mascara and it just droops my lash back down because of the water based formula!

If you really hate waterproof mascara try just adding a base layer, letting it dry, and then going in with a regular mascara of your choice overtop. You just need that first layer as a sealant for the curl!

Hope this helped you guys!

Grow Long Healthy Hair

Hello lovelies, 

Its my day off and extremely gloomy and rainy out.. of course thats how it always works right? I should be studying for my last two final exams, but at this point studying is not in my interest at all. Does anyone else have that problem, the second you know you need to study you become immersed with thoughts of anything else to do. Like seriously, I could do the recycling and convince myself it'll be more enjoyable than reading my text book. However, I must try and motivate myself. 

But first.... 

Today's post I decided to focus on hair care and how to grow those luscious locks that we all dream of. Many of us complain that our hair "stops" growing, or something like that. But don't be fooled, hair just cannot stop growing for no reason..

Heres some steps that you need to incorporate (if you have not already) into your hair care routine. By doing these steps, your hair will thank you by growing longer and healthier. I have tried all of these steps myself and can safely say that my hair has been growing longer, faster.

5 Things You Should Not Forget To Do!

Hello all my lovelies,

So I was thinking today, about how easy it is to get caught up in life, and forget some of the beauty faux pas that we all happen to forget on a day to day basis. But really, who has time to clean this and do that properally. We all love shortcuts, and though it may not be laziness, trying to finish a paper for school, or a project for work seems a bit more important than say cleaning your eyelash curler. Am I right or what? So I had a look around and thought about all the beauty mishaps that I have caught myself, or others doing and compiled this little reminding compilation.

So I know that we are all guilty of doing this makeup mishaps, but here are some that we really should not forget!

Tips for Spring 2014!!

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Spring has finally come here in British Columbia. Honestly, I cannot believe how long it took this year, typically its extremely warm by March! But its finally here, and I am welcoming it with open arms!

I came up with some Spring Resolutions! We have made it through winter, where our skin is begging for hydration in the dry weather! Now its time to look how our skin handles in warmer, weather. For myself, I know my skin is ever changing. While in winter, my skin is dryer than the Sahara desert, when we transfer to Spring/Summer I see a slight increase in hydration. I can usually quit the ultra thick moisturizers around this time, and opt for something that is more lightweight, but still for dry skin. 

So here it is, a little compilation of Spring Resolutions that you may want to consider!
