REVIEW: Too Faced Better than False Lashes

                            Too Faced "Better Than False Lashes"

Full eyelashes will make just about any look POP. I've been trying out TONS of mascaras that claim to be the fix to most everyone's problem. My eyelashes are short, light in color and not very full (Of course).
I've worn false eyelashes for over 6 years, but they're times when I want to pull of the more "natural look". Or let's just be honest, i'm feeling kinda lazy but I need a little something on for errand running. 

I love this product! It's a lash extension system, meaning it has nylon fibers that attached to the primer, and blend in just like your real lashes. You can't really tell it's not yours! Fibers have been recently becoming more and more popular. I've mentioned to a few people about it, and their jaws drop when they realize my lashes aren't fake, especially when my friends and coworkers are SO use to seeing me with false lashes. 


It's really easy to use! I just curl my eyelashes, apply the primer/mascara (one coat). Then apply the fibers, focusing more on the outer corners of my lashes. You can do this process 3x. 

Here's my before and after.
Too faced on left, nothing on right.


Cons: On me the fullness seems to last about 6 hours. Which isn't bad for fibers! 
Only comes in black which could be a downside for some.


I think everyone should own this! Love it. Retails for around $36.

Urban Decay Must haves!


Just a few of the things I couldn't live without! They have some really amazing products! And of course long lasting!


Urban Decay Primer Potion makes your eye shadows last FOREVER! OK, maybe not forever, but for a long time. Really helps with your makeup not "creasing".


Of course this was making it into the list! Urban decay Naked 2! MUST HAVE! Shades are amazing, it's great for my cool tone pail skin. Even makes it easy to switch from day look, to night look quickly. And really can look super natural.







24/7 glide on eye pencils, highly pigmented eyeliners. Makes it so easy to add a pop of color, and looks so clean, also some are easy to smudge for other smokey eyes. Amazing bases!


I usually hate lip glosses, but when I purchased naked 2 it came with a sample size. Well I ended up using it til it was gone and I just had to buy another lip gloss. Looks really nice with natural makeup. Lasts a long time, doesn't run, and doesn't dry your lips! But moisturize first!

E.L.F. Cosmetics that I CAN'T live without!

Elf cosmetics is primarily known for having cheap cosmetics. Usually the saying is "you get what you pay for", and for most things that's true. Not with E.L.F. Cosmetics!  I'm about to tell you the things from Elf that is SO worth having! And in no order.


Bronzers is a hard for me to find, Not only do I have dry skin, but I also have very pale skin. I wanted to find a bronzer that doesn't make me look too tan, but helps contour to help my face appear slimmer.  I'll soon upload a video on just contouring, and show you where to put it.
 This bronzer retails for $3, yes really $3.







Matte lipsticks that last you are a super hard thing to find(Well at least for me). I also have a hard time finding a real vintage red lipstick. And let me tell you, THIS is it!It has amazing lasting power! I've worn this in the salon on some of the craziest busy days we have, with as much as I talk, eaten with it on, given my kiddo and our dog kisses. In an 8 hour day I've only re-applied ONCE. This and some winged eyeliner and you're good to go!


Now, I know that all that time you're spending in the morning (Or night), you want it to last! And you're makeup owes it to you! But a lot of the time that isn't the case. I've used the Urban Decay All Nighter and I fell in love, once I saw that ELF offered a set and spray for only $3, yes again with the $3. I had to try it, and honestly I found it to be comparable or even BETTER than Urban decay's version. Which retails at $10, for just travel size.








Last but not least, Mineral lipsticks! Super smooth, don't really fall into a crease, They don't last long, but they do feel more-so like chap stick. Love the colors! Great to dress up any occasion!
