I love how lashes look from the side and top♡
please don't mind my close-ups (thank goodness my hair was clean lol)

I mean what girl doesn't love a good lash application and an amazing cup o' energy in the other hand?!
I bought this shirt awhile back ago here (in-store) and knew it was a perfect fit for the lifestyle. But on a serious note, it got me thinking, that these are two of a girls best friends and literally go hand in hand in the mornings together.
And I don't know about you, but I am always drinking my morning joe while I am doing my makeup, aren't you?
Let's talk lashes...
→Mascara // ($5+) Instant lashes, they wash off super simple and are the easiest lash method for anyone to apply and use on the reg.
A few I have loved are Diorshow, Better than Sex (current fave a few friends at work recommended this) and good old Loreal Voluminous that I have used on and off since high school.
I do wear contacts half of the time so it is important for me to use a mascara that does not flake off like some of them that come with the primers. So far the three above are all on regular rotation in my makeup bag.
Tip: I always choose black or blackest black because it really makes your eyes pop. If you prefer a softer look you can always wear the brown. Or if you have amazing lashes that are dark you can also wear the clear for more definition.
→False lashes // ($5+ glue) Falsies, strips, eyelashes, fake lashes, whatever your little heart desires to call them. These are quite honestly my absolute favorite thing to wear. I typically wear mine 3-4x a week and I re-use them several times and have no problem with them holding upc.
There was a time I thought I would never be able to wear lashes, as I about scratched my eyeballs off only to find out the glue had latex in it and I was allergic to it. So, now I use a glue brand called Kiss that is latex & odor free and I have not had a single problem since.
For the lashes, I love the Ardell 101 Demi. They are shorter, wispy, and look a step up from natural to me. It does take some practice to apply them.
Tip: Grab lash strip with tweezers, apply glue and let dry for 30-45 seconds while holding, then apply. I have a flawless application this way about 98% of the time however, I accidentally dropped mine this morning whoops!
→Lash Extensions // ($100 +↑↑) lash extensions have been very appealing for quite some time now. Who wouldn't want to wake up with gorgeous already done lashes each and every morning?
I have had several close friends, my sis-in-law and numerous clients that have all done the lash extensions and have been happy with the results. However, two things that have turned me off are the upkeep/maintenance time and money. I probably will not ever get them because I cannot commit to the time of maintenance and this girl loves to shop and would rather spend my money at Nordys & Tarjay. But if its your jam, then by all means keep them up.
→Coffee // Is. Life. Am I right or what?!
I crawl to my coffee pot, each and every morning. One little trick I do is I add cinnamon to my coffee grounds each night when I pre-set my pot. All I do is sprinkle some right on top and it brews right in with your coffee and gives it the best flavor ever. People always ask about my coffee when they have a cup.
There are so many amazing benefits of cinnamon: contains antioxidants, is anti-inflammatory, helps lower blood sugar levels, and helps fight allergies.
Have you ever tried cinnamon in your coffee? And which eyelash product do you love best?
Thanks for reading... xxB
So...for years I have been putting a sprinkle of cinnamon and (brace yourself) a tad of HOT MUSTARD powder into my coffee grounds..,,gives it an extra kick! Give it a try ;)
