I am a real housewife of Orange County (no, really!), but unlike the TV cast of the Real Housewives of OC reality show I, unfortunately, do not possess a traveling glam squad. And, while that lavish lifestyle is soo over-the-top, let’s face it – we all want to channel our inner-glam-goddess every once in a while. Whether you’re hitting the Vegas strip, on vacay, date night or a girl’s night out, getting dolled up to feel extraordinary usually calls for long, glamorous eyelashes. But, the majority of fake lashes, mascara and eye makeup on the market isn’t natural, vegan or environmentally friendly. Then there’s the high maintenance, high cost and even side effects of lash treatments coupled with the fact that most eye products on the market test on animals. Now that’s unsexy!
The High Price of Beauty
Did You Know? By purchasing only cruelty-free products, you can help save rabbits, mice, guinea pigs, rats, and other animals from excruciating tests and a lifetime of suffering. Hundreds of thousands of animals are poisoned, blinded, and killed every year in archaic product tests for cosmetics, and more. Some companies still drip chemicals into rabbits’ eyes. These tests are not required by law, and they often produce inaccurate or misleading results—even if a product has blinded an animal, it can still be marketed to you. ~People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
Eye Boosting Serums
While some gals prefer lash-boosting serums such as Latisse, I say stay far away. The list of potential side effects including skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes and redness of the eyelids and worse (taken directly from the safety info page on their website), ‘May cause brown darkening of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent’. Um, no thanks.
Lash Extensions
There are also lash extensions (which I’ve had done a few times). While lash extensions sure look pretty for a bit, they are beyond high maintenance. With that high maintenance also comes high cost. I like to roll over in bed while sleeping without fear. With extensions, I was always so worried they’d fall out during sleep or while washing or exfoliating my face.
Magnetic Lashes
Then came magnetized lashes. I have a pair, and while the concept is fabulous, the application of adhering them around your existing eyelashes by yourself is another story. Let’s just say mine still sit in the beautiful box they came in.
Strip Lashes
This brings me to the tried-and-true temporary strip lashes. I’ve had the luxury of having professional makeup done for TV appearances and media engagements numerous times. Strip lashes are always the go-to lash solution used by the professionals to create dramatic eyes that look real. But you don’t need to hire a pro or have a traveling glam squad. Once you get the hang of the glue, you can achieve smoky-eyes or an even more natural, daytime look that make your eyes pop. Before you run to your local drug store or beauty supply retailer, have you ever considered what the brand your buying is are made of, if they’re tested on animals and what effect they could have on – not just your health – but the health of our planet? Don’t worry ladies, I’ve got you – and the windows to your soul – covered.
