My Favorite Lash Products

I feel like most makeup lovers are always on the hunt for how we can make our lashes look fuller, longer and more fabulous. I am always finding myself gravitating towards trying every new lash product that comes out to see if there are any new developments that will bring my lash game to the next level. While I absolutely love a good mascara, let’s not forget all of the other awesome products that are on the market right now for lashes. Plus, lash bars and salons have become increasingly popular over the last couple of years. I am definitely a fan of getting eyelash extensions when I have the time to maintain them (which is super hard with four kiddos at home)! However, lash extensions can get very costly to keep up with on a regular basis. I have found that you can find so many awesome and more affordable products that you can use at home to give yourself the beautiful lashes your heart desires. A strong lash game can really make your eyes pop and make you look more awake. Mascara is one of the easiest and quickest things to apply if you are in a hurry but still want to look put together. Check out some of my favorite products out right now that will be sure to leave you with lovely lashes!

 

Lancome Mascara

This is one of the most loved mascaras that is on the market. It is constantly receiving near 5 star reviews on every site that sells it, and for good reason. This is one of the best mascaras I have found that elongates your lashes, separates them and keeps them clump free. I think it is perfect for a natural look that won’t look overdone, too!

L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara

This L’Oreal mascara is one of my favorite affordable products that can be picked up at Target or any drug store. I like to wear it when I want voluminous lashes to go with a full makeup look.

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara

Bottom lashes can be hard to cover with a full size brush. I absolutely love this small mascara made by Clinique. It comes in a small tube with a small brush that is a perfect size to cover your bottom lashes or the lashes on the inside corner of your eyes!

RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner

RevitaLash products are the bomb, but also come with a hefty price tag. This eyelash conditioner helps condition your lashes to improve moisture and shine, and make them look more luxurious. I think it is worth the splurge if you want to give it a try!

Magnetic Lashes

Magnetic lashes have been all the rage for the last couple of years and for good reason! They are a quick and easy way to apply lashes for a night out or whenever you want to add some volume and length. The set comes with an eyeliner that has a magnetic ingredient in them. Once it is applied, simply attach the magnetic lashes and BOOM- instant lash gratification. I think these are a lot easier to learn how to use then lashes that need to be glued on and they are easy to remove!

False Demi Lashes

If you are looking for falsies to wear, these have always been a favorite of mine. They are affordable and great quality. I also think the wispies give a pretty natural look that can be worn for any occasion!

Lancome Lash Primer

Lancome for the win, again! This primer also gets amazing reviews and ups your lash game. Apply a coat before you put on your mascara of choice. You will automatically notice your lashes look longer and thicker. Plus, this primer helps condition your lashes!

Lash Curler

Lash curlers are not for everyone and you need to be careful when using them. However, I think a good lash curler can definitely help make your lashes look longer. This curler from Tweezerman is getting great reviews and is at an affordable price point, too.

Enjoying Halloween Through Social Distancing

Halloween is right around the corner, guys! Unfortunately, Covid is still putting a damper on a lot of things in the world today. But, I am excited to tell you, it doesn’t have to cancel Halloween! I am always grateful when the holiday falls on a weekend because I feel like my kids get to enjoy the fun of it without having to worry about going to bed early for school. Halloween night is always a lot of  fun for my family and I was worried it would have to be one more thing that needed to be cancelled so I could keep my kiddos safe. I have been trying to brainstorm with other parents to see how we can spare our kiddos the disappointment of not being able to enjoy the night. While we will definitely need to make some tweaks to ensure everyone is staying safe, I think it can be done! I have listed some ideas below that could be a great way to celebrate the night at a safe distance from everyone else. Hopefully one of these ideas might work for you and your family, too!

 

 

Wear a Mask

We have been practicing for this night for the last several months. Since masks are required right now in this crazy world, you might as well have some fun with it. Have your children pick out a costume that has a face mask this year. It will help them stay safe and have some fun while doing it. You should grab a fun one for yourself, too!

Have a Costume Parade

Have all the neighborhood kiddos dress up in their costumes and have a parade. This is a easy way to keep the kids spaced out from one another and not touching since they will be in a line. At the end of the parade you could have treat bags set out for them that they can easily grab.

Throw a Zoom Party

Grab your device and log onto Zoom with family and friends. Make sure everyone is dressed up and ready to hang out for the night! Each family could take turns reading a Halloween story, telling some jokes or scary stories. This is a great way for the kids to see other people while staying safe at home.

Boo Bags With Your Neighbors

If you have never heard of a boo bag, this year would be a great time to start them! Neighbors join in and put together small treat bags for one house on the block. Drop the bags on the front porch with a note that says you have been “Boood” and instructions to keep the game going. Kids love coming out in the morning to a fun surprise and also love putting together bags to surprise someone else!

Make a Candy Shoot

I have seen people posting about how they are going to make a long shoot that will dispense candy! I think this is such an awesome and creative idea that would allow the kids to still go from house to house to trick or treat. I have heard the shoots can be made for about $20, so it wouldn’t be a huge investment. If you want instructions on how to make one, just google “Candy shoot for Halloween” and pick out the article or video that looks best to you!

Have a Spaced Out Trunk or Treat

Trunk or treat has always been a favorite of ours. Have a group of cars get together that are decked out in fun Halloween decor and loaded with yummy candy or treats to give out. The kids can walk from car to car in small socially distanced groups and still get to grab some candy and see fun decor. We like to blast some fun Halloween music and dress up, too!

Throw a Party At Home- Just You Guys

If you want to play it super careful, throw a party at home for just you and your family. Build a fun blanket fort, turn off the lights, make popcorn and throw on your favorite Halloween movie. You could also have a candy treasure hunt so the kids are still getting to snack on some delicious chocolate throughout the night!
