5 SkinCare Recipes Using 5 Ingredients in Your Kitchen.

With the increased availability of chemical ridden products designated for the face, its no wonder why the health conscious are turning to natural forms of skin care. They are cost efficient and lack the harsh chemicals, dyes and fillers most of your favorite products have buried in the labels. Common chemicals like Parabens, Sodium laurel sulfate and Phthalates with un-beauty related purposes for things such as "preservatives" and "texture of product" Not only are these chemicals unrelated to the effectiveness of the product, they are hazardous to your skin and your health.

As a women with fairly sensitive skin, I find that using certain cleansers and moisturizers would not only irritate me but would create a whole new issue i had to deal with like drying out my skin or making it too oily. In my quest to find the the best products to use on my skin with out busting my budget or spending hours in the beauty isle, I've turned to the one place with ingredients that are complete safe for your skin and to EAT...

Lol.. No I'm talking about EYELASHES. Strip eyelashes to be exact. They frame the eyes lovely and gives any droopy eyes the "I'm awake look". They come in many different styles to cater to anyones personal taste. They're fairly easy to apply, with practice and can take any look to the next level. 

Most women usually get about 2 to 4 wears out of their strip lashes before they either have mascara making them clumpy, lash glue build up, eyeshadow fallout, or are bent out of shape from sleeping in them. When you spend a little more for them like the ones you buy in Ricky's or Sephora (that cost anywhere from $5 to 20$) you might not want to trash them as quickly as the ones you do that are a little less costly and if your a cost conscious shopper like myself then you naturally want a few more wears out of your lashes for your money.

So this is my solution to clumpy raggedy lashes.  

Grab your clumpy old lashes like these and lets get started.
