WILDROSE BEAUTY Lash review

I have always struggled putting on false lashes… until WildRose Beauty came into my life! That may sound like a complete ad, but you guys, I am serious– these lashes are magic!

I’ve taken a break from wearing lash extensions and currently I’m trying to grow out my natural lashes, so I’ve been applying vaseline every night to help with growth, as that has helped me in the past.

Of course, there’s days when I still want to go out and wear a pair of falsies to enhance my features, and I was beyond excited when WildRose Beauty asked to collaborate with me.

I was sent two pairs of silk lashes and a 2-in-1 eyeliner + lash adhesive. Yes, you read that correctly, a 2-in-1 eyeliner + lash adhesive exists and it is amazing. I have never applied lashes so quick until I used this magic tool! Don’t believe me? See for yourself in my Youtube video where I show you guys how I applied the lashes and how they look on.

Don’t forget to hit that like + subscribe button!

What I love about these lashes are that they are handcrafted and made with premium silk, because silk is known to be the best material for it’s health benefits– it is breathable, lightweight (which is truly a game changer), naturally hypoallergenic, and high frequency.

I’ve tried on lashes in the past that would weigh down my eyelids and feel heavy throughout the night, and by the time I would get home, all I would want to do is rip off those lashes right away. What I love about these silk lashes are that they are super lightweight so you don’t feel any heaviness on your eyelids, nor do the lashes irritate or bother me throughout the night.

The eyeliner + lash adhesive duo is so easy to use, and it truly saves so much time from having to apply liquid glue, which we all know can also get very messy, and if you mess up… the struggle IS REAL.

I would highly recommend checking out WildRose Beauty. Support small businesses and shop online today! I promise you guys won’t regret these lashes.

Minimal Summer Makeup Essentials

At some point throughout the summer, we begin to dread wearing makeup due to the heat. If you’re someone who wants that perfect summer minimal makeup glow, you’ve come to the right spot.

TRY OUT THESE EFFORTLESS TECHNIQUES FOR A CLEAN, REFRESHING AND NATURAL MAKEUP LOOK: 

The last thing you want this summer is your makeup melting into your sangria. To achieve a natural look, you’ve got to get your hands on the right products. Some of those products include:

WATERPROOF MASCARA: 

If you haven’t got your lash extensions done this summer, then we would recommend you to check out the pros of extensions for the warmer months. If that doesn’t float your boat, make waterproof mascara your best friend this season.

The YSL Everlong Waterproof Mascara is long-lasting and clump-free— a girl’s dream come true. Other mascara products that are known to be waterproof and smudge free are: The Dior Blackout Mascara, Covergirl Eyebrightening Mascara, Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara, and also the Neutrogena Healthy Volume Waterproof Mascara.

MAKE YOUR FOUNDATION LOOK LIKE YOUR SKIN:

If you wear a full-face of foundation during a hot day, then expect your makeup to dribble down your chin. Skip your normal foundation routine and substitute it for a light-weight silicone formula that will give you coverage while allowing your skin to look natural.

The L’oreal Infallible Foundation is made from a rich silicone formula and gives a matte finish. Other products you could use include: NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Powder Foundation SPF 24, M.A.C Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation and also the Clinique Stay Matte Oil-Free Makeup.

“THE INFALLIBLE PRO-MATTE FOUNDATION IS IDEAL FOR NORMAL TO OILY SKIN, ESPECIALLY DURING THIS HOT WEATHER. IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED IF YOU HAVE ACNE-PRONE SKIN.” – MAKEUP REVIEWS 

MOISTURIZE WITH FRESH SKINCARE: 

To keep a natural healthy glow, you must invest time to take care of your skin. It’s important to moisturize daily, especially in summer. To protect your skin from moisture loss and prevent dull skin from appearing, use the Fresh Skincare’s Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream, a lightweight cream that enhances your skins natural radiance.

SUMMER GLOW:

This summer is all about strategically applying highlighter on your skin for a glowing and shimmery look. The purpose of a highlighter is to define your cheekbones.

“WHEN THE SKIN IS ALREADY SUN-KISSED, HIGHLIGHTER BRIGHTENS UP THE HIGHEST PARTS OF THE FACE.” – DANIEL MARTIN, MAKEUP ARTIST

The MILK Makeup Highlighter is an essential you will carry with you everywhere. To achieve a perfect summer glow, use this product that has been made popular by Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, and apply on these 3 popular areas:

These products will not only give you a natural look, but your summer makeup routine will be quicker and more efficient. Check out our Pinterest for more summer beauty hacks.

Spring Nail Trends

Whether you’re sitting at a salon or hanging out with your girls on a Friday night, choosing the right nail colour is always a tough decision to make.

Spring is all about pastels, light shades and neturals. According to Glamour, pastel greys, soft pinks, metallics and new neutrals such as a basic white polish are all this seasons must have colours.

John Casablancas Institute’s Body Spa instructor Heather Haslam prefers using O.P.I nail products: “It’s the number one professional line out there that most people use and that’s why we choose to use it. They have the best color selection and everybody is familiar with O.P.I.”

For this spring, Haslam’s top nail colors are pale pinks and bright blues. Neons are irresistable during the warm season which is why they always make appearances on nails during spring and summer.

However, metallics are the latest trending manicures that everyone is rushing to get. “We love the metallics and we do the chrome finish as well, it’s not by O.P.I but we do the chrome top coats on top of the shellac nails, so I love that trend,” says Haslam.

Just when we thought ombré would only be seen in our hair, it seems as if metallic ombré will now be featured on our nails for spring. During the Michael Costello spring 2017 runway show, the models had metallic matte nails that will definitely be trending this year.

For those of you wanting to wear simple nail polish shades, O.P.I colors will be your best friend this season. And for those that want to make a statement with their nails, metallics are the way to go.
