Born Pretty Store False Eyelashes Review & Photos

I received these lashes for review from Born Pretty Store. They sell everything from nail products, false eyelashes, contact lenses, to makeup at very inexpensive wholesale prices. I've told myself before that I probably wouldn't buy another pair of false eyelashes again besides purchasing it online from a website like this because they're super cheap and you get so many pairs! I'm not the type to spend a lot of money on false eyelashes. I'm the type to rock a pair of 99 cent lashes! And that's what I really like about these lashes because they're inexpensive and it doesn't break the bank! Hope you all find this review helpful and I hope you guys check out their website! You won't be sorry :)

Style #113

→These look the best but were the hardest to wear out of the three.

→The band is really stiff and it didn't provide much curl.
→I do love the fullness of them but if they were more flexible, I think they would be much better!

Style #004

→ Another one of my favorite pairs of lashes.

→ I do recommend taking liquid eyeliner and lining the band because it will stay white if you're using a clear adhesive.

→ These are little less natural as far as the texture of them go but I love the "criss-cross" look of these lashes.

→ The band is a little bit stiff but easy to manage.

Style ID #890

→ Definitely my favorite pair of the three.

→ Very long lashes that provide excellent curl.

→ Easy to apply with a very thin, invisible band.

→ Lashes have a natural texture to them making them look more real.

Updated Eyebrow Tutorial Version 3.0!

I'm back again with yet another updated eyebrow tutorial. I think this is my third time doing a tutorial except it's the same routine as the recent one I had, I just decided to redo them with different pictures. I'm also using the same products listed below. So as you can see I've been using this technique for about a year now and you can tell that nothing has changed!

For those who are wondering, I don't get my eyebrows professionally waxed, plucked, or threaded. I pluck my own eyebrows as often as necessary. I usually pluck them before I start my makeup. I also trim my eyebrows with scissors every few weeks and I shave the tops of my brows for a more clean look. I don't usually have a time when I do trim them I just trim them whenever I feel like they're getting too long. It seems like a lot of steps to filling in my eyebrows but honestly it takes me no more than 5 minutes. Especially if you've been doing them the same way for as long as I have then it's gonna be cake every single time. But anyway, I hope you all learn something from this tutorial. Enjoy!

Tools For Grooming Eyebrows:

→ Tweezers to pluck stray hairs.
→ Eyebrow razor to shave the top of your brows for a cleaner look. It can also be used to shave in between your brows if you have a uni-brow. You can use any brand you like. I bought mine at a dollar store and it works the same as any other kind.

→ Small scissors to trim your brows if the hairs are too long.

What You Will Need To Fill In Your Eyebrows:

→ Spoolie

→ 2 angled brushes

→ N.Y.C. Brow/Eye Liner Pencil in Taupe #927
→ N.Y.C. Browser in Brunette
→ MAC Studio Finish Concealer

Tutorial: 

Here are my eyebrows with no product on them.

STEP 1. By following the natural shape, I draw a straight line on the upper part of my eyebrows, beginning from the inner part and stopping at the arch.

STEP 2. I do the same to the lower part of my eyebrows, stopping at the arch.

This is how it should look like so far.

STEP 3. Fill in between the two lines you just created with soft strokes and keeping the inner part still bare.

STEP 4. Take your spoolie brush (MAC 204) and brush the hairs to create a natural look. This will also bring more color to the inner part.

This is how it should look like so far.

STEP 5. Apply a thin amount of wax and brow powder to your angled brush (MAC 266) and starting from the upper part of your arch, create the tail of your brows.

STEP 6. Repeat Step 5 on the lower part of your eyebrows.

STEP 7. Without using anymore product, lightly shade in the remaining part of your brows.

This is how it should look like so far.

STEP 8. With another angled brush (Sigma E65) take a little bit of concealer and run in under your brows for a clean look.

STEP 9. Repeat the Step 8 for the upper part of your brows.

Finished Brows!

Springtime Look!

I'm ready for Spring, are you?! Our whether here in San Diego is ridiculous. It would be cold some days and then the weather would spike up to 80 degrees out of nowhere! Then the next day it would be completely gloomy outside. I don't understand how that happens but I'll take it for what it is. Some time earlier this week it got super hot here in SD and it made me think about Spring. So I guess you can say it sort've inspired this look. I was playing with makeup the other day and came up with this super random (yet appropriate) color combination. It kind of reminded me of spring colors especially when I tied it with my current go-to lipstick, Pink Blush from Rimmel. By the way I love this lipstick! It's almost like a barbie pink but a little bit lighter. It's a cream color and it goes on so smoothly and it feels really creamy on my lips. Rimmel's lipsticks have defenitely won my vote. :) Anyway, I had no sense of direction as I was creating this look. I pretty much just grabbed colors as I went along and this ended up being the final results. I like how it turned out even though the colors came out really random. Hope you all enjoy the look!

By the way, the boyfriend and I are going to the SD Zoo this Saturday. Anyone else dropping by? :)

LOOK: Frosty Purple Using Pandamonium Quad

Wow so I've been really sick this past week and a half and I'm finally recovering. This means I can finally start posting some looks and hopefully get in some requests from some of you, which I have been getting. I caught a cold when I went to school so I've been coughing and sniffling like crazy! My nose has been Niagara Falls this past week. But now that that's almost out of the way, I'm feeling better enough to start blogging again.

Anyway, I was going through some of my makeup drawers and I came upon one of my favorite MAC quads that came out years ago! It was the Pandamonium Quad from the Balloonacy Collection that came out some time in 2007 I think. I'm a huge fan of this quad because all four colors compliment each other so well. It's definitely one of my favorites. Hope you all like this look. :)
