Wearing False Lashes!
Many women have hooded eyelids. Sometimes age is a factor. I attribute mine to my Native American heritage. As I have hooded eyelids, wearing false lashes can be pretty tricky for me.
I have learned that shorter lashes look more natural on me.
It seems as if really long ones make me look kind of drag-queenish or like I am trying way too hard.
That is not the look I am trying to achieve. I like strip lashes with the invisible band. I have also applied individual lashes in the past.
I have been on the hunt for Ardell Demi - Whispies FOREVER!
It seems as if they are always sold out at my local drugstores.
I saw a youtuber substitute the Salon Perfect Demi Whispies for the Ardells.
I knew that on my next trip to Walmart I was going to purchase these if they were in stock.
I picked up another pair of 116 lashes.
These retail exclusively at Walmart for $2.98.
To find out more about these lashes, please visit salonperfect.com.
Please enjoy this video from Muffinismylovers2012 as she demonstrates how she applies Ardell individual false lashes. This was one of the most impressive lash videos I have ever seen.
I am so excited about finding these lashes!
Do you ever wear false lashes?
Have you ever tried Salon Perfect brand?

Lips Of The Day - (LOTD) featuring MAC Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass
I wore a BRIGHT blue based red cashmere sweater to work on this day.
I felt the lips really complimented the look without overdoing it.
Line - NK COFFEE
Fill - Darkest Red Glaze from NYX Nude on Nudes Palette
Gloss - MAC Viva Glam Cyndi
(Side note...I must say that the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation seems to knock a few years off of my age.
I worked a double on this day and the foundation lasted literally ALL DAY! I can't wait to purchase a full size of this product)
My favorite finish in MAC lipsticks is Amplified.
Lusters just don't appeal to me. I do have one regret, however. Yes, I have Skippers Remorse!
(Thanks to yummy411 for this appropriate phrase)
Viva Glam Cyndi Lipstick is something I really wish I had not skipped. My attempt to dupe it is covered by my use of the darkest red glaze in the NYX Nude on Nudes palette.
I topped that with Viva Glam Cyndi Lipglass.

Lips Of The Day - Kiss NY Magenta
Excuse the angry woman face. Mean mugging once again!
I was on my way to work. It takes me some time to fully awaken.
I sported Kiss NY MAGENTA on this day. It is a dupe for MAC VIOLETTA, but BETTER.
It does stain the lips. I was rushing, so I forgot to bring my MAC FUNTABULOUS Dazzleglass or it's dupe Milani FASHION DIVA as a topper.
Believe it or not, the matte lips worked for me all day long.
The Kiss NY started out oily, so liner before application is a definite MUST. I wore NK Brown on this day.
I only had to touch up one time over an 8 hour shift because of the staining.
I plan to purchase more of their lipsticks.
Do you own any of the KISS NY lipsticks?
If so, which are your favorites?
