Want Natural Looking False Lashes? Try D'Lashes by Dionne Phillips Eyelash Kit!

By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd

I’ve had the pleasure of trying D’Lashes by Dionne Phillips Eyelash Kit and I’ve got to tell you that I’m quite fascinated with it. I was first impressed by the packaging because you not only get the false lashes and a small tube of eye lash glue but you get a small pair of tweezers as well! So, you can pack this eyelash kit in your wedding day bag, take it with you on your honeymoon or keep one in your purse for a fashion emergency.

The lashes look and feel so natural! I will admit that if you are not familiar with applying false lashes it may take you a minute or two or to get them to look “just right” so I highly recommend getting a friend or better yet, a make-up artist to apply them for you if you are wearing them to a special event.

I’ve tried other false lashes before and they’ve always looked…uhm…fake, however, in D’Lashes I look like I was born with naturally, long, full lashes. They made me feel even more beautiful and every woman wants to feel more beautiful!

The best part about D’Lashes is that you can wear them for a long time without having to worry about them falling off. I wore them for two days but I was careful not to wash my face and wiped it instead! I also used cool water while showering so there won’t be any steam and they stayed in place. I’m impressed!

Want to give D’Lashes by Dionne Phillips a try? You have four eyelash styles to choose from: Demure, Vixen, Flare and Naughty Girl when you order the D’Lashes Eyelash Kit at www.DLashes.com! I tried the Vixen but I am going to try the Demure or maybe even the Naughty Girl style next time!

I personally hate putting false lashes on because it takes me forever to get each one in place. That is why I love, love, love the genius design of Kiss Premium Eyelashes because even a 10 year old fashionista can put them on with ease. There are strings on both sides of the fake lashes that allow you to carefully position them on your eyelids.

Make-Up Tips for Fall Brides!

By Carlise (Carla) Shepperd

According to luxaholics.com, among the top make-up trends we will see this fall among celebrities are rosey cheeks and pale pink lips. If you are a fall bride, you may be interested in this fashion trend and look just as chic as your favorite celebrities. Below you will find the products that will help you look just as high end as the stars but you'll spend way less to be on trend.


Defined Eyebrows like Kim Kardashian

Well-structured brows really set the stage for a gorgeous face. Kim’s chocolate arches perfectly offset her espresso hair. Keep in mind that when bringing out your brow shape, you want to go one shade lighter than the hair.

Eyebrow Pencil with Brush Pencil - $10.00

Wallet not as deep as Kim Kardashian’s? Try Sephora’s eyebrow pencil with brush pencil at an eyebrow-raising price, $10.

 


Rosy Cheeks like Ashley Greene

 

Rosy cheeks are fresh, healthy and always a red carpet crowd pleaser. To get just the right glow, it’s all about the juicy color you choose.

For a version within reach of any budget, go for Almay’s Smart Shade Blush in Berry. It’s a touch more buildable than Tarte’s, but the result is the same: beautiful!


Pale Lips like Leighton Meester

It really is a new classic. Eyes played up and put center stage by paler, softer lip shades. The trick is to choose a color that looks subtle, but not low-watt. Leighton Meester has done it right by taking a shade that is basically her lip color, just a touch more vivid.

Pink Champagne - $5.39


A favorite drugstore find is Rimmel’s Pink Champagne. Sheer with the same bit of shimmer, it pairs well with daytime pretty and the drama of evening makeup.

 

Red Lips like Taylor Momsen

The vivid lip is hitting the red carpet at the speed of light. Want to mimic Taylor Momsen’s look.

 


Not sure you want to invest? Go for Revlon’s matte lipstick in Earthy. Same hue as Chanel’s version, but way less pricey at $8.99.

Dark Eyes like Vanessa Hudgens

Nothing is sexier than smoky and smudged dark-lined eyes, as Vanessa Hudgens frequently wears. Try it!

Define-a-Line in Ebony - $4.49


Or, you can try the drugstore version: Maybelline’s Define-a-Line in Ebony. You have the smudger on this one, too.
