How to make short lashes look longer

8 / 22 / 168 / 21 / 16

Hello my Bondbeautys,
Im excited to talk to you today about some tips & tricks to making your lashes appear longer! This is honestly my mascara/ lash routine!
These steps are so simple and they just take a little longer than just applying regular mascara; but they truly make all the difference! I have a full video for those who are visual learners so check it out down below!

Step 1: Apply a lash serum before bed. The one I use is the Newyorkbiology Lash & Brow Serum. All you need to do is apply to lash line every night before bed. This helps your natural lashes actually grow and thicken! (it really works!)

Step 2: Curling your lashes! There is a trick to this guys. First , use a good lash curler. Mine is from ELF it only cost me $2 but it still is amazing! It fits my eye shape well and doesn’t tug lashes! It also has a beautiful even curl. I like to curl my lashes 3 times before applying mascara. The first two times I curl it straight on and the third I will bend the curler upwards so it is at a 90 degree angle to my cheek! (See video for demo)

Step 3: MASCARA I love using a Fiber Mascara to really get my lashes looking thicker & longer! The mascara I love for this is the Limelight mascara. Unlike other fiber mascaras this one has enough product to really adhere the fibers onto your lashes. I don’t have any problems with the fibers being loose or flaking off into my eye! (And I have sensitive eyes) This one has really made a difference (full review on this mascara coming soon)

So I apply 3 thin coats of mascara. I know it seems like a lot but it really isn’t! You can do just 2 if you want. The last coat is the key to making your lashes look longer though! On the last coat you are just going to dab at the very tips of your lashes so that the fibers can really grab the tips making them look noticeably longer!

Step 4: Last curl your lashes one more time once your mascara is completely dry! This is where you need to be careful not to break your lashes or tug any out! Its so important to wait until your lashes are DRY! Then when curling make sure to only have curl them DO NOT clamp down all the way!

TIPS: MAKE sure to slowly clamp down & release when using a lash curler so as not to pull any lashes out!

Here is the full video with demo footage so you can really see how I do it! I hope you enjoy!

June Favorite Makeup Products

7 / 7 / 167 / 6 / 16

Hello my Bondbeautys,

I am so excited to share with you some of my favorite hair, skin & makeup products for this past month. I love doing these kinds of posts because then you have a chance to see products that have truly not only worked for me but that I am personally in love with. (video below to see all products)

Pura d’ or Hairless prevention therapy shampoo & healing conditioner (find at target cvs Rite Aid) This shampoo & Conditioner are organic which means Chemical Free,Paragon free, sulfate free & Gluten free. They are very healthy for your hair. Your hair will not only look healthier & shinier but also feel like it.
Pura d’or Argan Oil I have dry to normal skin. Sometimes my foundation looks cakey on certain parts of my face. It looks like makeup sits on top of my skin rather than blending into my skin. This makes my makeup look un natural . To fix this I add this oil to my foundation (two drops) or just to my face before foundation. It really gives me a natural looking flawless face. The makeup sits so nicely onto of it and helps it really blend into my skin.
Dauphines of New York Headband : This headband is perfect for this summer time. Its so hot in Arizona and its nice to keep your hair out of your face. So this headband is useful and cute all at the same time! I used for the 4th of July and loved it!
(Find it at Anthropologie)
Yuer er Gong Zhu Eyelashes : Love these lashes they are glam but look natural all in one. I love these for dates or even everyday. ( I have a giveaway going on so make sure to check out that video too down below. Im giving away these lashes!)
Ittse Eyeshadow Golden Gate : I am so obsessed with this eyeshadow , this is the eyeshadow I used in multiple of my 100 days of makeup pictures. (over on my Instagram)

Fit Me Matte & Poreless Foundation 220 This foundation is such a great matte foundation. Even with my dry skin it still looks great! I also love to mix the Argan Oils in with this particular foundation. It turns this matte foundation into a natural finish foundation, that just looks fresh and perfect.
Wet N Wild Brushes: Great affordable brushes , super soft and do not shed.
Wet n Wild To reflect Shimmer Palette Boozy Brunch: My favorite Highlight of the moment. Such an unexpected find!
Wet n Wild Mega goo contouring Palette Dulce de Leche: I have been using and abusing this contour palette. I love the contouring shade in here it is a neutral which makes it more wearable and it looks beautiful.
Amazon Brush Egg : This is such an amazing find. It helps clean your brushes just as good as the brush cleaning mats except it is 1/10th of the price. Only 2 bucks , such a steal!
Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush Apri-cot in the Middle: This is a perfect natural blush that goes with any makeup look. So it is perfect for everyday or for special occasions. The reason I like this so much is because it doesn’t take away from your look. Its a no brainer blush.
Bella Pierre Cosmetic Mineral Blush Desert Rose This blush is a beautiful light pink. Another blush that goes with any look but especially blue looks! I love it with a blue smokey eye . (shown in the picture below)

Be a Bombshell Smooth Criminal Powder: Since I have dry skin I have to be so careful when choosing a powder. I can easily turn into a cakey mess. So I have been loving this powder to set my under eye concealer! It smooths the area out with out drying it out.
Wet n Wild Highlighting Pen Posing Nude & A Happy Medium: These pens are so great for highlighting. They are also great for adding to other concealers. Specially hard to work with concealers tend to work better with this concealer.
LA girl Pro Concealer Natural: This concealer is such a great alternative to the MAC Pro long wear concealer. It is not as thick and full coverage but it is definitely so good! I use it for under the eye and it is perfect. I also highlight with it around the face.
Sally Hansen Gel Shine 3D Top Coat: Are you looking for a super shiny top coat that makes it look like you came from the salon? Well I finally found a incredible top coat at the drugstore! This one is so great , it makes my nail polish last longer & looks shinier than any other top coat! Love, Love , Love!

ELF Acne Fighting Gel: This gel really surprised me. It didn’t magically make my acne go away but it helps my blemishes get smaller and start to go away. Its amazing and I am so surprised. I will wash my face before bed and apply it after. Then in the morning my blemishes will be ten times smaller and look a lot better than the day before. This is my secret weapon to beautiful looking skin.
NYC Lip liner Bare: Perfect lip liner to pair up with your nude lips!
Wet n Wild Velvet Matte Lipcolor Looking for Truffle: Such a velvety soft matte lip color! So amazing and this shade is a cooler nude and I love it. So in style right now!
NYX Butter Gloss Eclair: These butter glosses are just that buttery! This color looks so great topped over light pink type of nude lipsticks. (shown below)

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Stockholm: This has been a long time favorite. To me this is the perfect matte nude lip color. Its so affordable as well. If you struggle to find the perfect nude shade try this one out!
LA Colors High Shine Butter Gloss Snuggle: This is a beautiful nude, almost gold shimmery gloss. The formula is very slick and soft without being sticky. The color is perfect to add to the lower lip of your nude lips! (great lipstick topper) I especially have been loving it over a matte cool or grey nude lip. I add it right to the center of my bottom lip and blend! (shown below)

Soft Face & Bold Lip Tutorial

6 / 20 / 166 / 20 / 16

Hello my Bondbeautys,

Today I decided to experiment with some Ittsē makeup that I received in the mail. I am so glad I did because they are amazing! Ittsē is an affordable cosmetic company that has customizable palettes. They have blushes, highlighters, powder,eyeshadow & lip products. They have a magnetized palette where you can then add your own pot of product. The thing that I thought was so awesome about these palettes is that they are vegan-leather fabric. Thats rather unique they also are a lot sturdier than the Z palette because they do not have a clear window. The eyeshadows stay very protected and it also has a mirror which I find very useful.

* I am not sponsored I just wanted to inform you about the brand & do a mini review.

Today I decided to do a Soft face & eyes, paired up with a bold lip. I used Ittsē eyeshadows , blush , powder & bronzer. I was pleasantly surprised with how soft and pigmented their products are. They were also very easy to blend. Personally the only product that didn’t work so well for me was the matifying powder because of how matte it was. I have dry skin so I only set my under eye concealer and I still felt like this powder was a little big drying under my eyes. If you have oily skin or combo skin you will love this powder!

For those of you who are curious on how “affordable ” they claim to be. I took the liberty of going to their website and getting prices for you!

Eyeshadows : $7.99
Palette (different color options): $21.99
Brow Powders: $6.99
Complexion Powders: $8.99
Lip Colors: $7.99
Palettes are free with a $75 purchase!

Those prices are so similar to other affordable brands at the drugstore I am so impressed! For todays look the shadows & powders I used were:

Grace: In the crease for a transition shade
Steps of Rome: To lightly darken up the crease & lower lid blended
Pink Pearl: on the lid
Alabaster: under the brow & in the tear duct area
The Fog Powder: set my under eye concealer
St. Tropez illuminate: To warm up & bronze up the face
Key Largo Cheek Color: Blush

Check out the full tutorial below

Thank you guys for being great readers & subscribers let me know if you have tried this brand? What do you think?

1 Brand Makeup Tutorial: Bombshell Makeup

6 / 17 / 166 / 18 / 16

Hello my Bondbeautys,

Today I am so excited to bring to you this tutorial because this is a collaboration with two other beauty you tubers! I am collaborating with Piper Hampton & Velmalee. They are amazing & talented. Plus they are also very entertaining which is why we make videos right? Any ways we are each doing a one brand tutorial using a drugstore brand. I decided to do Wet N Wild because of how CHEAP they are. I rarely use the word cheap to describe a brand, but I wanted to get my point across. They are so affordable that sometimes they get looked over because of it. Just because they are CHEAP doesn’t mean they are CHEAP. Their products are amazing and to prove it I went all out glam with this Bombshell look; using only their products.

This look is so beautiful and anyone can recreate it, I make it super simple. Its sexy & perfect for a special occasion! (Tutorial down below)

Products Used:

Wet N Wild Coverall Foundation & Primer
Wet N Wild Megaglo contouring palette contour Dulce De Leche
Wet n Wild Coloricon Blush Apri-Cot in the Middle
Wet n Wild To Reflect Shimmer Powder Boozy Brunch
Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick Bare it All
Wet n Wild Petal Pusher Palette
Wet n Wild Single Eyeshadow Nutty
Wet n Wild Poster Child Palette (Black)
Wet n Wild illuminating concealer pen Posing Nude & A Happy Medium
Wet n Wild Color icon eyeliner pencil Mink Brown& Black
Wet n Wild H2o Proof Liquid Eyeliner Dark Brown
Wet n Wild Lengthening Mascara

This look is something that I did recently on my 100 days of makeup I am doing on my Instagram. Basically every day for 100 days I am challenging myself to do a different makeup look. I did this on Sunday on Instagram and so I decided to show you how to do this on my youtube today!(The exact picture is down below) If you are interested in all my makeup looks I have done check out my Instagram!

(In the Instagram picture I used different products but I recreated the same look using Wet n Wild down below!)

Favorite Nude Nailpolish

6 / 13 / 166 / 13 / 16

Hello my bondbeautys,

Today we are talking about nude nail polish. Nude nail polish is very popular this summer along with nude lips & natural blushes! I will be talking about nude lip options & natural blushes in later posts. As for today I have 5 nude polish options to share with you. I also went through the trouble of watching them for you! So enjoy!(See video below)

First is Forsythe by Color Club. I love this because it is a cool toned nude. Which is unique and not seen very often. This formula is nice and thin. I think it applies evenly and wears for a long time.

An alternative to Forsythe is this one from Wet N Wild called Yo Soy. This one is almost an exact match to the Color Club polish shown earlier. It may be a tiny bit darker but still beautiful either way. It is again a cooler toned nude. If you want to try a cool nude this one is only $1.99 at the drugstore. (I love this formula better than the Color Club one)

This next one is a beautiful warm nude. L.A. Colors Color Craze polish in Simply. This is a polish that can easily be found at the Dollar Tree. For being the most affordable polish I am going to show you it definitely doesn’t disappoint. It is such a smooth formula and will last just as long as any other polish.

This one is more of a milky transparent nude. Wet N Wild 2% Milk. I have the old version but they do have this same shade in the packaging they have now. This is one of my first nude polishes and it has a special spot in my heart.

These next three are more of the pink nudes. I still consider them nudes. First is the Sinful Shine with Gel Tech called I’m Blushing. If you have tried the Sinful Colors Polishes and you don’t like them, do not despair this formula is different. It is a gel like formula that drys fast and is very shiny. I have not had any problems with streakiness.

This one is my absolute first nail polish every. Revlon nail polish in sheer petal. It is more of a transparent pink nude. Perfect for brides, interviews, work or everyday wear. It makes your natural nails look better. So beautiful and classy. It can be built up to a more opaque color shown on the bottle.

This one is so similar to the Revlon polish except the formula is thinner and more transparent. I love this formula so great and smooth. L’OREAL wishful pinking. This is more pink and less peachy.

So whats up with the crazy makeup? On my social media I am doing a new makeup look everyday for 100 days. I thought since right now color eyebrows are the trend I would do a fun purple look. Check out my social media for my other pictures!
