Those lashes thou!


So everyone & anyone is going on about Huda Beauty lashes by Huda Kattan annnnnnd I finally gave and got me some........

I have been following Huda Beauty for as long as I can remember and if there's one thing I know is how much of a perfection queen she is, so creating these lashes that would be nothing but amazing.

Now there there 7 sets in her line, 

Some lash sets can have more than 1 styles making them very versatile, whilst the others are are designed to have natural/daytime look or more glamorous look. Here are the list of lashes for each lash style which will help you decide which pair is for you 

♥ Natural: #1 Giselle, #4 Coco Jo & #2 Alyssa 
♥ Glamorous: #1 Giselle, #3 Monique, #5 Candy, #7 Samantha & #2 Alyssa 

The verdict is: Ouut of thhhis WORLLLLLLD - they are ahmaaaaaazing I can't even begin to tell you! Now as an artist I find it so annoying when you just can't find lashes long enough bold enough tough enough. It's so hard to come by I can't even begin to tell you the struggle its unreal- especially people like me with long eye, most lashes are too small for my eyes - usually use Ardell & Eyelure who's lashes are also really awesome but Huda Beauty lashes are like the Chanel of lash world - I kid you not, I love how creative and well designed they have been made. 

Here's a little bit more about them - (I put them in order of my preference)
(Disclaimer all images of the lashes an boxes below belong to Hudabeauty and are not if my own)

#7 Samantha – These are my FAVOURITE! They are pre stacked thick beautiful 3D lashes! Super wispy and really make your eyes stand out - I like to pair these a gorgeous sultry smoky eye or even just a super thick cat liner would  look pretty awesome. I adore how super thick and full lashes these are they just make any eye stand out.(USD20.00)











#1 Giselle – These are my second favourite! They are named after her daughter Nour-Giselle, these are a more natural version mini version of Samantha.I think most of you who are not use to wearing falsies but still want a full on length and fuller lashes would prefer these. They are a really graceful wispy full lash and help create that soft and romantic look (USD16.00)






















#6 Claudia – The Claudia lashes are criss-cross detailed spiky full length lashes. They are really natural looking on but defiantly gives you fuller longer natural lashes like the girls you see in the trains gracefully sitting there while you wish you had her lashes! but they also give you an amazing defined lash line like never before - You can totally rock these with just liner for a more natural look or an all out rocked out look cut crease or smoky eye. They very complementary to the eye so will suit all eye shapes with a knock out with every flutter.(USD18.00)

 

#3 Monique – Now these lashes are separated, they very light weight lashes, the hairs come in different sized lengths winging out towards the end. she has named this set after her sister Mona as she has very doll eyes lashes.The band is a clear & thin and really easy to apply, you can't really feel them and they best thing is that they ingrates your own natural lashes giving you that perfect doll eyed full lash look, you can also stack these with any of the other lashes and they give you a gorgeous defined lash line 






















#4 Coco JoHuda named this pair after one of best friend Jenan Jojo Saab.These are semi full length long lashes really make the eyes look larger and more defined, this is because the different lengths of hair winging out toward the end, because of the Zig-Zag alignment of hairs they very complementary to the eyes giving a very natural looking lash line, they are very natural looking and Huda most recommends these for those who have never worn falsies as if applied correctly you can not tell that you wearing false lashes. 

























#7 Candy - The Candy lashes are blown out version of the Coco Jo lashes but they are much more super glamorous all out lashes, they really give you a fuller lash and doll-eyed look. Now these lashes where named after another best friend of Huda - Candice, they are rumoured to be know as the Kim K lashes because of the beautiful setting and full length they give to the eyes and giving an all out glamorous look. They shape and definition it gives is sooooo amazing











#2 Alyssa - These individual lashes that comes in different sizes for you to be able to build your own intensity and shape and that's the best thing about although application will take much longer, its still ideal as you can totally build to you shape and size and length so they are bespoke to you. Huda named these lashes after her older sister Alya and include 3 different sized lashes and also a set of super thin lash for the bottom lash line (USD18.00)















I think Huda has got these lashes completely on point here and I seriously can not say enough about them! So to some it up here's a few points why I love them so much and some top tips for you all - she also has a brand new cruelty free Mink Lashes coming out soon and I can not wait until they do! :)

 Ultra soft, most lashes come with a really thick or hard band making it really hard to apply lashes - these have a super soft almost feather like band which is really flexible make super easy to apply

 True full lashes - the lashes themselves full thick lashes, they also come full length which means you make them bespoke to yourself, so if you're like me adore the drama on the eyes then you wont be able to resist  

 If you take good care of them you can get around 10-15 uses out of them! and you are certainly getting value for money with the re-use - I know with my Ardell and Eyelure I only get 5-6 uses max, but just like everything else in life you must take care of them, remove the glue once you have removed them from your eyes, make sure you do not apply mascara to them and mostly curl them after use so they keep there shape. 

  If you are buying the Huda beauty lashes its best to buy from her own website online, she always has special offers on postage and free lashes when you spend over a certain amount. I know there a few fakes around on eBay etc so be extra careful.

 Make sure you buy the Huda beauty lash glue with them - its super quick in drying,really strong help keeping those lashes on all day and its black so its excellent in camouflaging into the lash line .(USD18.00)














Never put mascara on false, always curl, set and mascara your own lashes first and then apply your false lash, this helps to keep them longer lasting and to have as many uses from them as possible.

I don't have a bad thing to say about them and this comes truly from within. I am super happy with my purchases - the only thing I would fault was the boxes arrived damaged :( but that wasn't at fault of Huda Beauty and more fedex - which I did totally kick there but for :)

With Love and Lashes

To Erase Or Not To Erase That Is The Question?

I was very sceptical about the product at first, several women I know started selling The Make-up Eraser at women’s coffee and networking groups and it started selling like hot cakes. I knew there had to be something there if they are selling so good and they have been sooo many good reviews from blogger’s & Youtuber’s, however my most trusted source Sarah @Sarahartistry first mentioned it to me when she visited Doll-House Dubai and fell in love with it and I had to admit I was getting very tempted by this product after Sarah advised how could it was and she is always very honest with her opinions with her products so I knew it was a genuine review.

Now I suffer from very sensitive skin and sometimes break out in eczema on my face and eye area if apply too many products. As someone with sensitive skin I have to be very careful what kind of products I use. Make-up tends to irritate my eyes & skin quiet often and even if I find a great makeup brand that doesn’t irritate me, removing it has always been such a nightmare for me, from watery eyes and dry damaged skin after.

I have been using rose water to remove my make-up but it not strong enough to remove it all. Then I saw a post from Mumillion and decided to give it a go, she’s always really honest with her reviews so I thought it was a product I could trust.

Soooo I decided to give it a try and take a leap of faith anddddddd viola it really worked! I can now just remove make-up using just water. The Make-up Eraser its really that simple, no more complaining about make-up remover getting my eyes and burning them and sensitive patches! No more excuses going to bed with make up on! Because it is really that quick & simple. Even my Dior Black out Mascara came off with The Make-up Eraser!

So Is The Make-Up eraser for you, find out more about the product below

♥ What is The Make-Up Eraser

The Make-Up Eraser is a specially produced cloth that removes 100% of make-up from the face using just warm water and no extra make-up removers or wipes. It is sold through various different distributors, small retail stores such as salons and spas, however I purchased mine through here - Online the Makeup Eraser costs GBP16.99 (plus shipping) Now I would only purchase this from their website as there are quite a few fake ones floating around the market especially on ebay! So please beware

It is a pink cloth that is very soft, The Eraser has 2 sides, the first side has slightly longer threads, for gentle ex-foliation, whilst the other has shorter threads for the 100% removal of all make-up after. The Make Eraser boasts that it lasts 1000's of washes. I haven’t had this product for that long so I can’t actually confirm this!

♥ So How Does it Work & How to use The Make-Up Eraser

The MakeUp Eraser is a cloth which removes make up completely and quickly using no chemical or cleanser, saving the user money and time each and every day. This gentle cleansing process promotes healthy facial skin because it does not affect the skin's natural ph balance & the gentle ex-foliation also helps keep skin clean and healthy.
The Make Up Eraser is specially knitted polyester & silk fibres which according to them is many times finer than human hair, when made wet the eraser creates a hydro-mechanical process that breaks down the surface tension of the oils that bond make up to your skin. The Make-Up Eraser even removes waterproof mascara, HD pro lines and lipsticks – without the mess of conventional removals.

Here’s a quick step by step on how to use created by The Make-Up Eraser people! – it was too fabulous for me not to use!






♥ Is it really washable?

The polyester hand-crafted fine cloth of The Make-up Eraser doesn't have loops that trap make-up, so very little staining happens. Although I do take extra care of mine and rinse the cloth after using it daily. Also I pre-treat my cloth before washing it weekly and just to be extra sure not to have any stains or build up do not place on an overstuffed wash.

I haven’t been using The Make-up Eraser long enough to wash it the 1000 times that the company claims that you can, however I have seen lots of demo’s from QVC to youtube that have been washed a few 100 times and still work wonderfully well, so maybe, just maybe it is a possibility!

So over all I am really pleased with my purchase this is defo one of those products once you buy that you get totally hooked on! this product does exactly what is says on the box! Which now days is hard to find – Well Done The Make-Up Eraser you have made a fantastic product

Lots of Love & A a clean face
