Wanna Try Falsies?

Hello Beauties!!! So of course I am always looking for great pricing on everything from skincare, haircare, and makeup. This also includes all those little small things like FALSIES! (Not on your chest, your lashes silly). Recently, I got a great deal by www.kgbdeals.com . For $15 I received a coupon for $30 worth of lashes at De-Beauty . I was super excited about this deal and of course I bought more than one coupon! When I looked at the De-Beauty, I found that they have a pretty good selection on different lashes as well as an affordable price. Another great thing that I loved about the company is that I received my product within three days of payment! They have great speedy service, and what I saw online is exactly what I got! Something else I give kudos for, when I emailed them with a question, they emailed me back within 24 hours! (I love great customer service!)

I have long lashes naturally, but I do love to add a little extra umph to my look sometimes by putting lashes on from time to time. Lashes can range from individuals, singles, and strip lash. They can be extremely thick, medium, or thin. Very long, medium, or short. Then you even have a variety within each category. Do want them to look obviously False or do you want more of that natural looking lash where people have to wonder if they are yours or not. It all depends on what YOU want, and might I add, what looks good on you as well. Sometimes you think you want something and then you see it on yourself and you say, "What was I thinking???" If you have never worn lashes before, don't be scared! They are easy to put on and just as easy to take off. You can get them done in salons or you can do them yourself at home. Now, I can't give you any advice on the salon experience and that is because I have never had them done by someone before, I have always done them myself.

Want to try them out, find some cheap ones that you can play around with! A great lash adhesive to use as a beginner (or even in your pro makeup kit) is actually by Revlon! Try out Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive !!! It comes with a tiny brush, the adhesive is blue when you put it on, then it dries clear. This is one of my favorite adhesives to use. Of course there are plenty of other ones to use as well, but I favor this one :).

I DARE my followers to try out false lashes, even if you have them applied by someone else! Are you up to the challenge? Do you think you can handle it? I have faith in you lovely ladies. Let's make this interesting, enter the "Lash Challenge" with awesome eye makeup included and I will choose the person to win a FREE $30 makeup giveaway!!! Can't beat that! Come on ladies, step out of your comfort zone and shake things up. Post your comments and pictures below so I can start the judging. If you are unable to put the picture up, email it to inher.beauty1@gmail.com and I will add it for you. Happy blinking! hehe

Stinky Itchy Scalp Be Gone!

Hey ladies...and gents! So as I was talking to one of my sisters tonight I was complaining that my scalp was itching. Yes, something so simple and small but honestly it's not that simple and small to some people. There are some that have issues with very bad dandruff and an itchy scalp and no matter what they try...they can't make it GO AWAY! Well here is something I learned about a few years ago...LISTERINE! Yea, you got it! That liquid stuff you swish in your mouth to make that funk smell go away, it helps in getting rid of dandruff problems. The Listerine will actually kill "bottle bacillus" which is the common cause of the infectious dandruff. When using Listerine, make sure that it is mixed with water and massage it onto your scalp. Not only will you have "Fresh" hair (ha,ha) but you will have a nice, cool, tingling sensation on your scalp! As I say about everything I write on, always use with precaution!

If you are questioning this, feel free to do a little research (as I did)! Oooo and one interesting fact, in 1953, Cosmopolitan did an article on using Listerine to cure dandruff problems... how cool is that?!?!

Happy washing ....and while you're at, throw a lil in the mouth too!

Under-eye Concealer!

I know it's been forever since I have had a chance to post, but that is because recently I had a few changes in my life that interrupted my normal schedule. But guess what, I'M BACKKKKK!!!! (in the words of T.I)

While I was gone, I see some of you had the opportunity to read "Bye Bye Puffy Bags!" which is awesome and a few of you even wrote a review which I LOVE! But "Momma" had a question for me. What do you use once you get rid of those bags and you want to use a concealer?

I have a few concealers that I actually use and for me that just depends on what look I am going for that day, the weather, if I want a glow, etc etc. For my normal routine and daily makeup use I use Bronze 1 Concealer by Mary Kay. I have been using this concealer for YEARS and I love it. It's basic, cheap, but awesome. Next, on days that I want to add a little glow to my skin and want to look AWAKE I use Maquicomplet Concealer by Lancome. This concealer is creamy, won't crease on you, goes on smooth and won't dry you out. It comes with a wand that makes application easier. I used this concealer when doing my sister's makeup for her wedding and it looks great in photos. Another concealer that I use is also by Lancome and it is called Effacernes Waterproof Concealer which is great during the summer if you are worrying about your makeup bleeding from sweat. 

 My suggestion for anyone when looking for a perfect concealer is to try it out in the store. One concealer under one eye and the other on the other eye. Walk around the mall and do the rest of your shopping while both concealers settle. After you are done, go back to the store and compare in the mirror. How does it feel? Did it crease around your eye? Did it go on smooth? Did it fade? Did it leave a blue tint under your eye? Is the coloring right? Did it react with your skin? Which of these did you enjoy most? Last but not least, TAKE A PICTURE! Did the concealer look decent in a picture?

I hope you find the perfect concealer for you! If you have a concealer YOU love, share it with us. Stay Beautiful! *muah*
