Review: Too Faced “Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System” ♥

Hey everyone!

Lately there has been a lot of spotlight on the Too Faced “Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System” mascara. You can get this product at any major department store that carries Too Faced products or Sephora for about $52 CAD. It comes with an “Activating Mascara Base and Top Coat (0.30 oz)” and “Flexistrech™ Nylon Lash Fibers (0.02 oz)”.

When I first came across this product I was super excited to get it because of how different it was compared to anything else on the market. But unfortunately after I tried it I can honestly say I have never ever been so disappointed in my life, especially in a Too Faced product.

What I liked about the Too Faced “Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System” mascara:

• Works really well the first couple times
• Kind of achieves the false lash look

 What I didn’t like about the Too Faced “Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System” mascara:

• After the first couple uses the mascara bottle gets contaminated with the fibres and causes it to apply horribly
• Really expensive
• After one coat it looks tremendously spidery
• A little uncomfortable
• Makes your eyes feel like there’s something on them
• Sometimes makes my top and bottom lashes stick together
• Kind of irritated my eyes
• Fibres fell into my eyes
• The fibres form little balls on the wand that you have to pick off
• Some of the white fibre is noticeable
• A friend actually told me that I had something white on my eyelash
• Hard to take off

Here's a closer look at the “Activating Mascara Base and Top Coat (0.30 oz)” and “Flexistrech™ Nylon Lash Fibers (0.02 oz)”:

Overall I’m just really shocked why people were raving about this mascara, I really can’t see it working for anyone and I definitely DO NOT recommend it.

Stay Fab!!

How to Look PICTURE Perfect ♥

Hey everyone!!

It’s almost summer and you know what that means, PARTIES! Today I’m going to be giving you a few tips to achieve a beautiful face for in person and for all the PICTURES!

1. Always start off with a primer!
• They provide a smooth surface for any makeup, and help keep it in place. Primers are especially important for those long picture-filled nights.
2. Foundation
• Foundation, it makes ALL the difference… well, at least when it comes to taking a flawless picture. Make sure to get a great foundation that you are comfortable with. I would invest in a high-definition foundation. They were originally developed for actresses and news anchors on HD TV to hide literally everything. My all-time favourite HD foundation is Make Up For Ever’s “HD Invisible Cover Foundation”. The “HD Invisible Cover Foundation” is an oil-free medium-to-full-coverage liquid foundation that covers skin imperfections flawlessly while remaining invisible on-screen and in real life.
• Oh and one other thing, MAKE SURE WHAT EVER YOU DO DECIDE TO GET IS A PERFECT MATCH TO YOUR SKINTONE! Trust me even if you don’t see the difference, everyone else can, including the camera!  
3. Camouflage other imperfections
• If you are going to be taking some heavy duty pictures like engagement photos or your new profile picture LOL dab on some concealer under your eyes or any blemishes you may have.
• Sometimes when I’m not in the mood for foundation, I just add a little concealer to a few spots on my face and head out the door. It really makes a difference!
4. Sculpt your cheekbones!
• We've all heard it before, the camera adds 10 pounds! Flash photography particularly can make you look flat or round. A little bronzer under your cheekbones, on the temples of your forehead and on the sides of your chin along with some blush directly on the apple of your cheeks instantly add the dimension back into your face and enhance your facial structure.
5. Fill in your brows 
• Even if you don't fill in your brows on a daily basis, fill them in for your pictures. If you have light hair, this is really important for you. Some of my blond friends’ brows tend to disappear on them in photos with flash.
• Remember you don’t have to pluck them, by simply filling them in they’ll look tamed and groomed as much as the next girls. 
6. Wear mattes!
• Try to avoid products with shimmer (except for highlighter of course). The flash from cameras combined with the shimmer in your products will make you look oily and greasy.
7. Black mascara and black eyeliner
• The fabulous duo of black mascara and black eyeliner is basically the epitome of the word “drama”. Some people consider black makeup products as being too harsh, but I promise that when it comes to pictures, black looks good on everyone.
8. Lipgloss
• Lipgloss always adds that little kick to complete any look so never skip it. When it comes to pictures, skipping the lipgloss will cause your mouth to blend in with the rest of your face. Contrasting all your features will give you an amazing overall look. 
9. Try not to use products with SPF
• The higher the SPF, the more titanium dioxide is in the product, and the whiter you'll look in photos. You want your pictures to be fun memories, in other words, you don’t want to be known for looking most like a ghost that night.
10. Blotting papers
• Blotting papers are a life saver! Instead of piling on the powder and achieving nothing but the “cake-face look” try opting for some blotting sheets. They're inexpensive and really remove all the excessive oil on your face. It’s also kind of cool to look at the sheet after you use it :P

Just a simple few makeup tricks can be super helpful when it comes to looking great in every picture. Do you have any other suggestions? Comment bellow!

Stay fabulous!
