Prescriptives Motor-Eyes Instant Impact Mascara

I have fallen in love with another beauty product and this time its Prescriptives Motor-Eyes Instant Impact Mascara!

I have never used an electronic powered mascara, I was always a little skeptical of them, I mean it doesn’t take rocket science to move the wand over your lashes. But I thought they must be good if Estee Lauder and Lancome both have a range of electronic powered mascara’s and as a fan of Prescriptives mascara I had to try there version and wow, wow, wow its amazing!!!

The mascara consists of a vibrating wand which coats your lashes jet black whilst giving them a long, lushes curl. The end results leaves your lashes looking that glamorous that they could be mistaken for wearing fake lashes.

Another bonus is that the mascara does the work for you so if it’s the morning after a heavy night you can just apply your mascara without worrying that your hand is shaky.

I bought mine from Selfridges for £25.00 and its £25.00 very well spent!

Girls Aloud – False Eyelashes Launch

Our favourite girl group Girls Aloud are set to release a false eyelashes range. They have teamed up with Eylure, makers of eyelash dye and false eyelashes, to bring out 5 different sets of eyelashes, one for each girl of the group. Each set reflects the stunning girls personality.

I am sure the lashes will be just as successful as the girls. As every girl wants to be the sixth member of Girls Aloud so at least we can copy there huge lashes now.

The eyelashes will be available from April at just under £5.00 a pair, I want Cheryl Coles pair already, I can imagine them being ultra glamorous and jet black…

What’s hot…purple eyeshadow!

This season is all about colour, bright stand out colours such as striking pinks, purples, yellows and blues.

To look bang on trend and to make yourself stand out from the crowd one thing you have to is a head to your nearest beauty counter and buy a purple eyeshadow.

Be daring and go for lavender purple. You can’t go wrong with Lavender as it suits every skin tone and is striking with a touch of silver blended in. To add extra glamour don’t forget to add plenty of mascara and eyeliner.

The best one i have come across has to be the pallet by Dior it is simply irresistible. There are five different shades to play with and look divine on your eyes.

Waterproof Mascara

I hate going on holiday or the thought of going swimming if I know that I can’t wear mascara…sad I know but I feel naked without the stuff!

After trying loads in preparation from my holiday I have found the perfect waterproof mascara by YSL! This mascara is amazing and makes your lashes look like you are wearing fake ones. I will not only be wearing this on my holiday I will be wearing it every day now. It is clump free and adds extra length to your lashes.

Faking has never been so easy so if you are off on your jollies and want to splash about without looking like you have been in a round with Mike Tyson you have to use YSL!

Add extra volume to your eyelashes with your Allergan

Are you ready to take a drug that will lengthen your eyelashes?

There is a new drug from Allergan (the genius creators of Botox!) that will create Betty Boo eyelashes. The drug supposedly makes your lashes longer and fuller.

If you have always dreamed of having lashes that flutter this is definitely for you!

Latisse is something that I would love to try out. I am a huge fan of the longer, lusher lashes and spend ages applying my mascara everyday so it will be nice not to have to do this and have naturally long lashes. It is not cheap but if like myself you spend a lot of money on mascara it is worth every penny.

Be patient though it will take around 2/3 months for the effect to start to show.

The drug should hopefully be available in May and will cost $120 for a months supply! See it as £2 a day…bargain!

Vanish puffy eyes on a budget…

All those late nights do eventually catch up with you and leaving you with puffy eyes! This can then lead to you looking tired all the time!

Puffiness is not just caused by late nights it can also be down to crying, if you’re menstruating or pregnant, retaining food, eating salty food or drinking water less than two hours before bed.

The worst thing you can do is rub your tired eyes, this is only going to make them worse!

Eyes that are bright and sparkling draw attention!

If you are suffering from puffy eyes there is no need to rush out and hit the beauty counters these simples tips will leave your eyes looking more awake and vanish the bags…

1.    Cucumber slices
This is by the far the best way to remove puffiness out of your eyes. Make sure you leave the cucumber in your fridge over night and cut into slices and place on your eyes. The cool temperature and astringent effect can help to constrict the skin blood vessels and this works to remove puffiness and dark circles caused by dilated blood vessels.

2.    Raw Potato Slices
Not many people know that raw potato skin works wonders for removing circles and relief puffy eye. For best results mix into a bowl of basil and dab the potato slices onto your closed eyes.

3.    Tea Bags
Get a black tea bag that contains caffeine, place on your eyes and relax. The natural astringent in tea – tannin works a treat.

4.    Milk
Soak a cotton wool pad in cold mile and place the pads on your eyes. This will reduce puffiness and also brighten the whites of your eye.

The above will help and you will definitely notice results but you also need to try and sleep as much as possible as lack of sleep always shows in your eyes. Also try and avoid salty foods like chips, peanuts and alcohol as it retains the fluid that settles in the eye area.

Perfect vision without glasses

Are you one of those people who have to rely on your glasses and contact lenses everyday just so you can see what is happening around you? It can make the simple things in life difficult. Imagine waking up in the morning and being able to get on with your day without wearing your lenses or even better not have to squint at your computer or TV all day and being left with frown lines, not a good look and can result in you needing botox or fillers! That’s why I strongly would recommend Lasik surgery.

It is now a simple procedure and works by changing the shape of the cornea. Millions of people opt for laser eye surgery now who once had to rely on glasses or contact lenses.

My friend recently underwent surgery and has not regretted it one bit. It was pain free and best of all worked! It has left her vision crystal clear. It was more of a joy for me knowing she has had this done as it was not fun spending a night on my hands and knees in a bar trying to find her missing contact lenses!

So time to ditch the glasses and contacts and break free from the inconveniences!!!

Worst Mascara

I am a mascara freak, I could not live without it! But if I had to go a year without mascara or wear Maybelline XXL I would go for the year without mascara!

This “stuff” is grose it doesn’t even brush or shape your lashes so they go the same way. The worst thing you could do is re-apply you will be best with 4 almighty clumps of eyelashes. I was more worried taking this dreading thing off as my lashes were that stiff I thought they were going to fall off! After I eventually got this crap off my eye lashes they were swollen and really itchy.

I think enough is said – do not be seduced by the hype and lure of owning this evil wand it’s a load of rubbish.

Do not be fooled by the picture below, the joys of Photoshop hey!

Ways to make your eyelashes not clump up…

You need to begin your routine by giving your eyelashes some tlc. Add a generous amount of Vaseline to your eyelashes, this is known to increase the health of your lashes. Never go for a bargain mascara as they tend to contain fillers that are guaranteed to clump up your lashes at the first opportunity.

To avoid going out with clumpy mascara, you should use an eyelash curler before hand and lightly dust your lashes with powder this will help the mascara just glide onto your lashes leaving you with clump free, beautiful lashes.
