Bonjour Beauty Bombers!
It’s Eileen here with another Beauty Tuesday!
Today we’re going to talk about how to get bangin’ eye lashes:

Sanaa Lathan Beyonce Lashes

Full, gorgeous lashes make your eyes pop and are the cherry on top of a beautiful look.
Getting the long lash look isn’t hard–and thankfully we found ways for you to get fabulashes at every budget!

1. Lash Conditioners: Just like skin, hair and lashes need to be conditioned to grow healthy and long.

Splurge: Use a small amount of  Revitalash® once a day to achieve the natural beauty of longer, thicker, fuller looking eyelashes ($135 at www.skinstore.com):

Save: Give your lashes a boost with Global Goddess Coconut Amla Lash & Brow Conditioner. This can be worn alone or under your favorite mascara, and is fragrance free (perfect for contact lens wearers). ($28 at www.globalgoddessbeauty.com)

2. Luscious Lengthening Mascara: Pump some volume into your natural lashes with thickening mascara.
Splurge: Tarte Mascara Lights is aptly called the ‘push up bra’ for eyelashes thanks to its volumizing properties. The 4-in-1 (lengthening, curling, volumizing and conditioning) mascara is dermatologist recommended and clinically tested to give dramatic, thick, sexy lashes. ($18 at www.drugstore.com)

Save: Get a similar look for less with Maybelline Great Lash Washable Mascara in Blackest Black. Its lash doubling formula glides on smooth to build great-looking lashes, and its brush makes it easy to get a full look. ($5 at www.walgreens.com).
