Thursday Thoughts



Things I did this week //

* I tried out Magnetic Eyelashes! I loved them- check out my full review HERE , they're great if you've never tried false lashes! 

* Watched the new Jumanji movie. Have any of you seen it? I thought it was pretty funny! 

* Received the best PR package from Pixi Beauty . There are so many products I can't wait to test out. Have you used any Pixi products? 

Things I'm doing this weekend // 

* Saturday Mani- What color should I get? I always have a hard time picking a Spring color! It's finally starting to warm up here so I'm thinking something light & bright. 

* I want to pick up some plants for our house! Do any of you have any houseplants that are low maintenance?  

* Cooking! Now that I'm older & Kyle and I head to my parents on Easter I like to make some things to bring over. This year I'm making my favorite spinach dip served with fresh sourdough bread from the local bakery, and a lemon cheesecake- YUM! 

* Easter Sunday- Does your family have any traditions? Every Easter morning we've always had a Jelly Bean hunt in our house. Living in Vermont it was usually too cold to go outside to look for eggs so my parents would always hide jelly beans around the house- they still do it, you're never too old for candy! 

What are your plans for the Holiday Weekend?

Magnetic Eyelash Review


This past weekend I went on a girls trip to NY with my Mom & did some serious shopping! While there we perused the aisles of Ulta and came across these magnetic strip lashes and decided we needed to purchase them ASAP. The sales associate at the checkout told us that these lashes have been flying off the shelf & we were lucky there were still some left!


I purchased the Ardell Magnetic Lash Accent, this set is not a full strip and is meant to enhance the outer portion of your eye. I loved this as it didn't feel as heavy as a typical full strip lash, this was also much easier for me to apply as it can get tricky to properly apply the lash near the inner corner.
These lashes cost just under $15 dollars and are able to be reused- So far I have worn them 3 times with no problems- the magnets continue to work.
To use these lashes you essentially sandwich your eyelashes between the top and bottom false lashes and the magnets keep them securely in place. Prior to using these, I thought there was no way these could actually work- but they do! And they work really well!
In the past, I have tried to apply false lashes with the typical lash glue and I could never get it to work-I tried so many times! These are great if you are a beginner as they are pretty fool proof- If I could do it so can you! Below are some before and after pictures- notice that the lash band is barely noticeable!

Before //
After // 

One tip I do have for wearing these lashes is to line your upper water line with a black gel liner as well as your eyelid- this helps the lash band to blend in! 

Have you tried false lashes or magnetic lash strips? Let me know!
