Wednesday's How To Guide - Applying Individual false lashes.

False lashes can be tricky at the best if times but when it comes to applying them on yourself it can be even harder especially the individual ones!! So this week I'm going to show you how to apply them.
It doesn't matter what type you use they are all applied in the same way. Durability all comes down to the glue you use and if they get wet or not.... So when wearing falsies avoid the tears ladies!!!

What I'm using to show you how to apply the individual lashes is...

Penny's / Primark Lashes €1.50

                                              

Duo Glue & Tweezers

Duo Glue can be purchased from Boot's, Mac, Inglot.



 

 

How To Apply:

Place a small amount of glue (pea sized) on the back of your hand or on some tinfoil. Taking a piece of the lashes from the box with the tweezers and gently dab the root of the lashes into the glue on the back of your hand. Starting at the inner corner first. This makes it easier starting here instead of the outer corners because if you start at the outside and work your way in the last bud of lashes might be too long and irritate your eye at the end. Apply the lashes as close to the root of you're own lashes. Making sure not to bring them too close to the inner corners so it doesn't irritate you. Look down with the eye you are applying them too and with you're other eye you can judge how close to get to the root of the lashes.

 

 

 

Once You have applied the first lash you then place the next lash right next to the end of the previous lash, always making sure to apply glue to the lashes first.

 

 

As the glue becomes tacky and more secure you can then lightly push the lashes upwards while your eye is open to make them curl up more. Keep applying them one after another right beside where each lash ends. If you don't you will create gaps in the lashes and they won't look as full.

 

 

Keep applying them until you reach the end of you're own lash line. Don't worry if the last lash comes off the end of your lash line too much this will give the illusion of a longer lash line (don't get carried away tho and start ticking more on)

         Once you have applied them to the complete lash line they will look like this. You can build them up again with another layer over these by doing the exact same application. This will give them an even fuller, thicker look. When they where all applied I gently pushed them up a little into place so they are all in line with my eye open in the mirror.

 

These lashes will last a couple of days once they are looked after and have not got wet. Water will only break down the glue and destroy the shape of the lashes. You can also use the glue that comes with the pack of lashes it just isn't as strong as Duo Glue but its your own personal preference as to what glue you use :)

If you are applying them for a night out I would suggest to doing all of your eye makeup first and then applying the lashes so as its not effecting how you apply your makeup when they are on.

 

You can also re use and lashes when you take them off just make sure you remove the glue from the bud or band of the lashes before applying more.

 

 

I hope this helps anyone next time they go to apply individual false lashes and as always if you have any questions just ask :)

Monday's Beauty Bargain - PS Volumising Ultra Black Mascara

So this Monday Beauty Bargain is ONLY €2!!! Yeah thats right €2!!
We all love long curling lashes without having to wear false lashes or semi permanent lashes on a day to day basis and want a good mascara that won't cost too much.

I've chosen Pennys/Primarks Volumising Ultra Black Mascara from the PS range.
It glides onto the lashes so easy with the mascara wand. It coats each lash because of the head of the wand has small ball like shaped silicone applicators instead of a brush. With this head of the wand it doesnt pick up too much product making it easy to coat the lashes in a nice dark mascara.

There is no smell, dryness or irritating feeling from the product itself which I love and I'm sure everyone will appreciate. With it being so cheap in price a lot of people can be sceptical about it irritating your eyes or it being no good but this I can vouch for :)

The packaging is nice too a lovely shade of purple which I like about it also. The is only the PS logo on the front keeping it simple and the type and size on the opposite size.

As you can see from the picture below ive applie it to my eye to show everyone what its like. (I have minimal eyeshadow on so as you can really see the lashes)
It has made my lashes really dark, full and longer looking because its coated all of my lashes. To be honest I didnt think I had that many eyelashes because I had been wearing individual occasional lashes for quite awhile so lost a lot of lashes from them. They have grown baxk but quitw fair in colour so this mascara really grabs and coats all of your lashes.

I would definitely recommend this mascara to Everyone so get out and pick one up. A lot of the PS range tend to sell out quite quickly when they have just been restocked so make sure you stock up when you are there :)

I will have more of the PS range up soon with details and pictures so keep an eye out :)

Let me know if you plan on picking one uo or already have :)

Mondays Beauty Bargain Of The Week - Penny/Primark Sultry Lashes

What girl doesn't Love a good set of false lashes that Won't irritate the life out of you once their applied??
Well I've got the answer and they are only €1.50 !!! YES €1.50 With them being that price I had to make them a Bargain Or The Week feature.

I've used these lashes since Pennys brought them out which is a couple of years now. They are nice and soft and the band is nice and flexible so they are super easy to apply. They come with an athesive which will do the job but I apply mine with Duo Glue which can be picked up at any Boots store, Mac Cosmetics and Inglot Cosmetics.
The lashes can be re used once you don't get them wet just gently remove the glue from the band and they are good to use again :)
I always apply a layer of mascara to the top lashes and then apply the flase lashes this will help blend both false and natural lashes together. You can lightly apply mascara to the tips of the false lashes if you want to darken them up a bit more.

I cannot get enough of these falseies and they are a must have for anyone who wants to wear false lashes without them looking to heavy, full or heavy. 
These can be worn during the day for a day look and also for a night time going out look.
Make sure you stock up when you're in Penny's because when they get re stocked they sell out very quick!!

*What I would suggest that you do is bend the lash in to a C curve shape by pinching either end of the band and slightly bend it back and forward, thus will make the lashes shape better to your lash line when applying them.
Measure the lashes up to you're eyes and placing the smaller end to the inside of you're eye, running it along your lash line if there is any if the lashes coming over the end of you're eye this how much you need to trim off the lashes.
Always trim the lash from the smaller/shorter end.

**Apply a thin layer of glue to the band of the lashes and allow to dry to a tacky consistency and place them as close to the root of the lashes as possible and press you're finger or tweezers on the inner and other corners of the eye.

Let me know if you have tried them or plan on getting them :)

Monday's Beauty Bargain Of The Week.. Glove Your Body Tanning Mitt

Hi everyone!!
So thus Monday's Beauty Bargain Of The Week ... Glove Your Body Tanning Mitt
Priced at €19.99

Thus tanning mitt is an ESSENTIAL for every tanning fanantic out there!!
Its a soft fleece glove with finger holders inside so as you're hand won't slip while apply your false tan.
Because of its thick lining no tan soaks through onto your hand or you're baby finger which always happens me.

The mitt can be used with mousse, cream and liquid tans and spreads out evenily onto the skin. Looking at the mitt you think it's going to soak up all the product rather than applying to the skin but its quite the opposite.... You and up using less product...which let's face it who wouldn't love that :)

I know you might be saying but its €19.99 how is that a bargain?! Well let me tekk you why.....
It's machine washable (trust Me I've tried)
It looks brand new each time it's washed and doesn't lose its shape or quality in texture.
If you buy a mitt in a chemist it's like 3/4 euro each time and they don't last long at all!! Your lying if you say they do. How many would you buy a year?
Well with this mitt you will only ever buy one and that's no joke or scam for you to buy one its the truth!
So for €19.99 you have a mitt that will last a couple of years and anyone who already has one will agree with me on this.

So get out and get one and save a few quid!!
