Eyelash Growth that REALLY WORKS.

Hi loves! I am here to show you some freaking amazing news.

I FINALLY FOUND THE HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT TO MAKE MY EYELASHES GROW.

Seriously.. The proof is in the pictures and the compliments I receive on my eyelashes.

I know we are told that there is no sure way to make our eyelashes grow. I understand that. However, I have a way that keeps them conditioned and nice looking, which in turn makes your eyelashes grow. Now I can't tell you this will work for everyone, this is the only product that has ever worked on my eyelashes without going the route of Latisse. I thought about getting prescribed to latisse, but decided the side effects were too extreme for me and wanted to find a more natural route. I ended up finding a 100% all natural route.

I have tried so many different products and haven't found one that worked well until now. I've tried the rapid lash, the Tarte eyelash growth, the peter thomas roth one, the loreal one, and even tried the Vaseline trick. None of it worked very well. The thing with those products that people don't understand is that they don't have any natural oils that will help your eyelashes grow/nourish them. They state on the packaging that it helps keep your eyelashes from falling out as quickly. Your eyelashes have a 3 month cycle. A growing period, a falling out period, and a stand-still period. The falling out period, is a natural state of your eyelashes. Regrowth is pushing it's way through forcing old eyelashes out. This stage of our eyelashes sucks.. It kind of makes them look a bit thinner than usual. Our eyelashes look best during the stand still period. There is no way to change this cycle. It happens.

Now, every single night, and sometimes in the morning too, I put 100% pure argan oil on a clean, disposable mascara wand and I run it through my eyelashes just like I would a mascara. Top and bottom. I also do both sides of my top eyelashes so that way I get more product on them. I like the Josie Maran Argan Oil. She also has a light version of it too. I just get the BTG size from Sephora. It's $14 and should last a LONG time. I have been using a sample of the oil for a month and decided I had to buy it.




Here's the pictures to prove it. This is my eyelashes before I started using it. You can tell I have a lot of bald spots from my very annoying habit of pulling my eyelashes out when I am stressed out...

And these bad boys are my eyelashes now. WITH NO MASCARA on them. Isn't that awesome?! They are so much fuller and nicer and I have not been happier. I spent almost three months trying to get these bad boys to grow back from pulling them out, and had no luck except for the teeny short sparse eyelashes that you can see growing in the picture above. I used the argan oil for 1 month and my eyelashes are greater than they have ever been.



I'm hoping you can also tell the difference. In one month, my bald spots have finally started to grow in! there;s still a little bit of thinness to them, but it's better than in the very first eyelash picture.
I have never been more excited and I don't think I will ever use anything else on my eyelashes. My sister, and customers at my job are always asking what mascara I am using. I tell them it's the argan oil and they want to try it too! I'm hoping my sister has just as much luck with it as I did. If you have tried this method, let me know what you think? I really do hope you test it out. The proof is in the pictures. It's wonderful.

Heatless Hair Hunt... Failure

Hi loves! I am again on the hunt for some heatless hairstyles. Mostly curls. I love curling my hair. I watched a great tutorial the other night and did what it said. I failed... But I am determined to make it work! I watched this tutorial and figured I could easily do the same.

Here is where I went wrong..
1. I have much thicker hair then this lovely lady... so I needed more curlers.
2. I'm pretty sure I curled too tight
3. I'm also sure I curled too close to the root.

If you didn't check out StilaBabe09's hair tutorial, it's a heatless hair style using the conair spiral rollers. I got mine from target for... $14 however you can get there online here for $10.

Here is what the rollers look like.


I did as the tutorial said... I washed my hair, put my favorite hair products in and began to wrap.
I think it might be a little bit more helpful for me if I dry my hair halfway/let it air dry halfway before wrapping my hair. That's the new step that I will try out tonight.

If you watched the tutorial followed, then you'll see that mine are much more tightly wrapped as well.


Lastly... here is the unfortunate event that we call my hairstyle for work today.

Thankfully, I just threw it in a bun on top of my head and hoped for the best in that scenario. Clearly, my face in these pictures show that this is NOT how I hoped my hair would turn out. I'm pretty sure I look like I came straight out of the 80's with the horrific perms they used to do. I'm pretty sure if I put a pictures of my mom from the 80's and this picture above right next to each other you would think we had our hair done in the same era.

Womp Womp. If any of you heatless hair lovers can tell me a different way to wrap my hair to make these work... I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER. Seriously. I want these to work so bad. I never straighten my hair because it is just way too damaging. But I ALWAYS curl it or it's in some wild bun on the top of my head. Which isn't exactly the most professional look for my job. So I need to cut that out.

HELP!
