Always interested in new beauty trends, we were excited learn more about lash perming and lash tinting. The idea of having darker and curled lashes without the need for mascara is amazing. Most of us would not dream of leaving the house without applying at least one quick swipe of our favorite mascara. Our lashes would simply feel naked without it on!

The process itself is amazingly fast and painless. Each step takes about ten minutes. The most uncomfortable part is you cannot open your eyes during the process, which means all you want to do is open you eyes! We tried to rest and take a small nap, as it was so peaceful.

The actual lash perming process involves applying a curling solution to your lashes. First they clean all makeup from your eyes and lashes. Next a rubber bumper "thing" (not really sure what it is) is placed above your top lashes. Once this piece is in place, the esthetician begins to apply the solution onto your lashes, wrapping them around the rubber bumper. this helps create the perfect natural curl without the need for an eye lash curler. Once ten minutes processing time is up, the esthetician cleans the solution from your lashes and removes the rubber bumper. You immediately see a beautiful and natural curl! It is quite satisfying to see how beautiful your lashes look naturally curled without the need for an eyelash curler. We were very happy with step one.

Next we tried lash tinting. This also takes about ten minutes. The esthetician places a cloth under your eyes to protect your skin from the color they are applying onto your lashes. Next the tint is swept onto your top and bottom lashes. Your eyes stay closed. Once ten minutes has passed, its time for a quick clean. We loved, loved, loved what I saw. Darker lashes that were a lot more noticeable.

Does this mean we will be throwing away our trusty mascara? Let's not get carried away. Lash perming and lash tinting won't create your mascara effect. You will still need to apply mascara for a truly vavavoom effect. However, you will be able to skip the eyelash curler for good !You will also have dark and curled lashes every morning and will have more noticeable lashes without any makeup. That is certainly a plus in our beauty book.

Do we think lash perming and lash tinting are a must try? YES! It is quick, It is not too expensive and you will certainly love the results.

Applying mascara is not as easy as it may seem. The biggest challenge when applying mascara is keeping it clump free. Clump Free Mascara isn't so much about the formula you use, as much as how you use it! With one simple step you can make any mascara clump free mascara. Remember the idea of mascara is getting lengthy, thick and beautiful lashes not clumps!

All mascaras work great the first few times. The problem is that after a while the formula starts to thicken. Thicker formula creates clumps. To keep this from happening all you need is eye drops. When you notice your mascara starts to get clumpy and thick, add 2-3 drops of your eye drop formula into the mascara. Close the mascara and use the wand to mix the eye drops in. Voila! Fresh, clump free mascara. This is such an easy DYI way to keep your mascara fresh.

Always keep in that your mascara should be replaced at least every 3 months. This assures that you do not get any bacteria in your eyes. It also gives you the chance to try new formulas every couple months! Some of our favorite mascaras include YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Luxurious Mascara. This is an all time favorite. If you want a faux lash look without the faux lashes, this is your go to mascara. We are also crazy about Dior It Lash. The formula for this mascara is amazing for thickening lashes. It gives you a runway look that is fabulous. For those looking to boost their lash growth, the best mascara is Grande Mascara Lash Boosting Formula. This formula not only lengthens your lashes, but it also promotes healthy lash growth.
