If you’re anything like me, false eyelashes are foreign territory. Up until recently, I’d never even touched them. However, the new long lashed and retro looks out there call for longer than life lashes, and sadly, even the most expensive mascara can’t do much for me!

Getting your hands on a pair of falsies is really easy – most pharmacies and beauty stores stock them, and, aside from a steady hand, and the glue provided, you don’t need much else.

The good news is that modern lashes come in a range of styles, from over the top obvious to almost unnoticeable natural, so you can choose a style that works for you. So if you’re looking for something new to try, why not consider false eyelashes? Chances are, they’ll look great!

If you’re like me, you like your cosmetics to be cheap, cheerful, and plentiful. I’ve never been one to spend a fortune on anything. Except my mascara. There’s method in my madness however. Here’s why I invest in mascara.

I like to have dramatic, statement eyes, and toned down lips. This is because I consider my eyes to be my best feature – an opinion echoed in the compliments I’ve received. Of course, you can’t do eye drama without great mascara!

Good mascara’s really can add length, fullness, and even curl. They also last longer, and help you to prevent that nasty clumpy look. Mascara alone can elevate your look from bare to done, so next time you go cosmetic shopping, find a truly great mascara!

So, your lashes are short, stubby, and sparse. You’ve tried every thickening, lengthening mascara on the market, but still you can’t see a difference. I’ve just discovered something that is truly amazing, and will revolutionize lash enhancement for you, forever!

Apparently, there’s a lash treatment called Latisse, which gives you longer, thicker, luscious lashes without any beauty products at all!

Apparently, the treatment, which is available through dermatologists and specialist beauty salons only, stimulates the growth of your lashes, so they grow like crazy, and give you the flutterable lashes you’ve always wanted! You can bin the mascara (OK, maybe not) because your lashes will be long, thick and gorgeous.

Latisse is apparently a topical treatment, and the only known side effects are mild itching and redness, plus, its FDA approved! Which means that not only does it give you great lashes, you don’t have to worry about any nasty side effects or risks! Where do I sign up?

Only the very brave (or foolish) opt to go makeup less, even in the height of summer. However, heat and makeup are not good friends. Here are a few handy hints that should help you keep your cool, no matter what the temperature.

Firstly, choose makeup, especially lip colors, that come in tubes. Even if they melt, they won’t leave your bag a mess!

Next, to avoid the raccoon look, especially at the beach, ditch the mascara, and have your eyelashes tinted. No more hassle. Then again, if you do use waterproof mascara, and don’t know how to get it off again, use makeup remover on a cotton pad – hold it to the eye for a minute, and it should slide right off.

If you find your winter makeup looks too heavy, take a trip to the makeup counter, and stock up on shimmery sheers. Again, because it’s color, you don’t need to spend a fortune. Opt for cheaper brands, and have some fun. These tips should help get you through the sunny season relatively unscathed!
