The Fake Lashes Look

Who doesn't want them?

Long, voluminous thick eyelashes.

The first idea that comes to my mind are fake eyelashes to stick on, but there are a few problems. 

On the one hand the motivation or the effort to glue them on every morning, and on the other hand, and I'm now referring directly to myself - the skill to make the eyelashes properly stick on. When I'm just thinking about how each time it ends in a time-consuming frustration to put the fake eyelashes close enough to my lashes or when it works out, the corners come loose again, and the spectacle starts all over again, I'm overwhelmed by an inner wave of stress, haha - so great respect to all the girls who manage it every time beautifully, I'm really jealous.

In between I had tried eyelash extensions again and again, and I loved them! Unfortunately they were relatively harmful for my own eyelashes, because the fake eyelashes became too heavy at some point and pressed my eyelashes down, then fell out with them and sometimes they didn't keep up with the growing, because I had my refill appointments every 4 weeks.

However I can really recommend this alternative for vacation or birthday, I myself had 13mm long eyelash extensions for my 20th birthday and it really looked bomb!

As I said though, this is not a permanent solution.

Now comes the big but, I have found a "natural" way to achieve this result.

Revitalash

Some of you may already know this miracle serum.

I've been using it for about 2 years and I'm absolutely amazed.

Before my first application, I had very short, light and actually blonde eyelashes. I was very unhappy with them and then, thank God, got the recommendation to try this serum.
It takes about 4 weeks to see any results at all, but when it starts it's really a dream. The eyelashes are getting darker, almost deep black, thicker and harder - so the eyelashes stay curled a lot longer, and especially the eyelashes themselves are getting sooo much longer!

Mine even went almost up to my eyebrows after a while.
The serum contains ingredients such as biotin, ginseng extract and marigold extract, is a transparent liquid and I always apply it to my lash line before going to bed.

I have to admit it is definitely not a cheap product, but on sites like Flaconi it is often reduced to about 70€-80€ for the 2ml size.
I always buy this size and it lasts me for 4-5 months, so it´s totally fine.

Dior Diorshow Mascara

My first Dior Makeup product and it's really incredible!
I love mascaras that give the lashes more length than volume and this mascara gives the perfect combination of both. It is also important to me that my mascara does not crumble, does not smear, does not itch and is easy to remove.
All points are checked off with this one.

 The mascara formula is apparently completely new and has been enriched with microfibres.
This results in the "longer lashes" effect and the lashes appear thicker. I can definitely confirm this, as you can see here from the before and after picture.
What's also really great is the "Air-Lock" brush, so the formula hardly comes into contact with oxygen and dries out much slower than any other mascara.

The application is also super easy, I don't apply the mascara in zigzag movements, but blink through - so I put the brush on my lashes and close my eye lightly, I find that this way the eyelashes don´t stick together and get a little longer again aswell.
Unfortunately a more expensive product again, but I would be willing to pay even more for it, haha.

That's it with my power duo.

I absolutely love it, have also often received compliments for this look and will continue to invest in these products hahaha.

Have you tried any of these products?
What do you look for in a mascara, length or volume?

Review // Artdeco Magic Fix

Whether it's an elegant evening look or a simple day makeup, a pretty matching lipstick completes the look, that's definitely the case for me.

I would say that I have a relatively large selection of lipsticks, from nude to bright, everything is there.

Unfortunately, most lipsticks do not withstand everyday life, be it through eating or drinking or through normal removal over time, so these are the reasons why I like to apply lipsticks in the morning, but do not refresh them later on. It's just too exhausting for me to always have to pay attention and check if it still looks good.

Until now!

Through the dear anajohnson on Instagram, I have become aware of the absolute miracle product - the Artdeco Magic Fix.
It's really awesome!

The Artdeco Magic Fix is supposed to make the lipstick waterproof, and therefore prevent it from staining cups, glasses, etc. and also from leaking into the lip wrinkles.
It contains bergamot and lavender oils to give the lips some care aswell.

From the texture, it looks like water, and that's exactly how it is applied to the lips. With the small brush you brush over your lips and Tada the lipstick holds bombproof.

I have to say honestly, although there are actually good smelling oils in this product, it smells like nail polish remover to me, but don't worry, it will sink in really fast, so you don't smell or taste or even notice that you have something on your lips.

I was really excited before first applying it as to whether it really does what it promises and it definitely does.
I´ve put it to the absolute hardness test, I was eating greek food, means tasty salad with oil dressing, garlic bread and of course greasy food BUT the lipstick kept looking fresh and flawless after eating.
I was positively impressed and since then I use the Magic Fix without exception every time I wear lipstick!

I even get the question again and again which lipstick I use because it does not wear out and always looks fresh!

The only negative point, which has passed in the meantime, is the feeling during application.
My lips burned like fire the first time, so really as if I had put nail polish remover on it! According to the official product description, it is probably due to the alcohol that is in this product and it is probably a natural reaction, nevertheless, it was really very unpleasant, but meanwhile 5 applications have passed and I do not feel burning and pinching any more - no worries my lips were also very good after the first time - visually and feeling hahaha.

The Magic Fix is unfortunately nothing for gloss or creamy lip products.
But I didn't have any problems so far, no matter if with a matt lipstick or with the Hydra Care lipstick from Artdeco, which is more creamy, the Magic Fix helped to maintain the durability. I haven't tried the combination with a gloss yet, but I could imagine that it would be a mess, and the brush of the Magic Fix would mix the gloss with the product itself - which wouldn't be so ideal now...

With a price of 13€ it is perfectly ok, since you really do not need much per application and therefore also the 5ml bottle will definitely last you for a long time.

From my opinion it is totally worth buying the Artdeco Magic Fix. I enjoy wearing lipstick a lot more because I don't have to pay attention to what I do and what my lips look like. I am very happy with it and recommend it to everyone I know and likes to wear lipstick!

Do you already know this product? What is your experience with it?
