I got the fun and flirty eyelashes I always dreamed of — for only $27 at Amazon
Once upon a time I took the plunge and got eyelash extensions, thinking they would jazz things up, and YOWZA! Did I look like a million bucks. This was by no means a spa-level treatment — the "salon" had a water stain on the ceiling — but I couldn’t deny the results. “You look amazing!” was a common refrain. For 10 years I almost never left home without ‘em. Eventually, though, the countless in-chair hours and thousands of dollars required for their upkeep gave me second thoughts — after all, unless you sleep sitting up, the less expensive treatments only last a week or so. So, how to get the glam without going broke? Enter VieBeauti Premium Eyelash Serum.
Ironically, this genius elixir was recommended by a woman who works at the aforementioned salon. The idea was that this would lengthen and strengthen my natural lashes (which had been weakened by the incessant treatments), so it would be easier for them to add the extensions. However, the serum has worked so well I may not go back for a long time.
Here's how it works: Take the wand and apply the serum on the upper and lower lid lines, not to the lashes themselves — the treatment lies at the follicle level. Know how to use eyeliner? Then you’ll be a pro at this. The serum goes on smooth, and because it’s packed full of amino acids, it helps the tiny lashes to grow longer, and the ones that are established to get thicker and stronger.
I should tell you, though, that this does not take place overnight — it was three weeks before I saw an improvement, but when I did it was sudden...and remarkable. You can apply in the morning, before bedtime (with no pillowcase streaking!) or both. But consistency is key, so make sure to apply at least once a day the get the full effect. (For the most part I use it twice daily and make it part of my regular routine.)
Yes, there are the self-adhesive eyelash kits you can get for bargain-basement prices, but frankly I never mastered them. I get glue in my eyes, I can never get them to fit right, and there’s no elegant way to recover after your lashes fall off onto your date’s chicken marsala. Especially when he thinks there's suddenly a centipede on his plate. Check, please!
With VieBeauti there’s no more drama...other than in your dramatically highlighted peepers. Even the smallest lashes get a big boost, thanks to an amino acid called “arginine” which works as a moisturizing agent and stops your lashes from breaking. Just like the right conditioner prevents breakage in your hair, this prevents it in your lashes. Which is especially helpful this time of year when the trees are blooming, the flowers are blossoming, and you can’t stop rubbing your eyes. (Even more reason to double-up your application.)
Although I had more striking eyelashes as an infant than I do as an adult, VieBeauti Premium Eyelash Serum’s formula is single-handedly restoring them back to their former glory. I’ve not only boosted my lashes — I can even bat these baby greens now! — I’ve boosted my bank account as well.
