Which will help your eyelashes to grow longer? The result of Castor Oil vs. Sweet Oil with Almond

 
Sweet Oil With Almond vs. Castor Oil
Which product won in the race for naturally enhancing the growth of my eyelashes within a time frame of 3 weeks?

My eyelashes after applying both for 4 days (Left eye: Sweet Oil w/Almond vs. Right eye: Castor Oil)

3 weeks later...the results:
Now I actually look like I have eyelashes growing out of my eyes, like the way eyes are suppose to be=) WHOOO!!!

Prior to using these 2 products, my lashes were rather sparse and very short; not to mention thin.  Even after applying mascaras, they didn't really look like much of anything because they always droop down anyways.  I realized it was the eyelash curler I was using (Revlon, I think) sucked and did not do much. Even after I curled them, the lashes would droop down again. Until one day, Xteener from Youtube stated that she heats her eyelash curler with her blow dryer and that is what I have been doing since then (ELF's eyelash curler for $1.00 is a great product). This trick of heating up the curler is really fantastic, I guess it's the same idea as a hot curling iron or hair straightener, so if you'd like your lashes to stay up and curled, try heating it up with a blow dryer for a couple of seconds. For me, even if my eyelashes are longer and thick after applying mascara, if they don't curl and stay up, it kind of defeats the purpose, so try this heating trick! =)

In the end, both the Castor Oil & Sweet Oil with Almond really helped my eyelashes to grow much longer, you can see the differences in as fast as 3-4 days.  I know the picture does make them appear to be the same length, but in all honesty, I feel that the Sweet Oil with Almond helped my lashes to grow a bit faster and longer than the Castor Oil did. These 2 products work a lot faster and better for me than when I had tried to grow them with vaseline. I also applied these to my eyebrows, but they didn't really help them to grow out that much; these products are better for the lashes.  I will continue to use Sweet Oil from now on.

The Castor Oil's texture is a bit thicker than the Sweet Oil With Almond, but they're both very similar to the texture of Olive oil.  They both don't really have much "scent" to them and they are not at all sticky =)

Try these 2 products & let me know how they turned out for you.

    I remember reading that blow drying trick on my eyelash curlers package! Never tried it though.
    I hope I can find the Sweet Oil with Almond here now! Where'd you pick it up from?

Review: Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner

Maybelline's Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner   in  Blackest Black  is very creamy and super gentle when applied to the lids, not to mention the brush is definitely a great add in as well. I remember when I first bought the L'oreal Hip Gel Eyeliner, the tiny brush that came with it was super stiff and horrible, but this brush is more flexible and it can be use to fling your winged eyeliners and such.  Would I repurchase this product again?  Yes, I really want to   eggplant .  In terms of staying power, I have really oily lids, so when I had this on the other day, it lasted a lot longer than I thought (although I don't remember how many hours, definitely not 24 though because I could tell part of the liner was fading).  I'm sure if you apply an eye primer base or your concealer, it would last a very long time.    I took this picture right after I bought the product because I was so excited to try it since it had ...

5 Wet n Wild lipstick swatches, why customers' reviews are important to a business, WIN free eyeshadow!

 Practicing makes perfect, repetition with practice is even better I had told myself I'd dedicate an hour every day to practicing makeup applications but the past couple of weeks have been so busy for me that I haven't been able to- but then whenever I do practice, I always try the same groups of colors on the eyes and same techniques. My goal is next time I practice, I will have a YouTube video on and practice along with the guru as well. You assume once you watch something, you can replicate the same colors and techniques after- but not I. I do not want Beyoumakeupshop's customers nor my friends, or people I know to think I am always about promoting our own products. I really do try to find different ways to use the products, research on the products and reviews, and I do try to test on myself prior to adding them. I have not tested nor use everything in the Shop, but hopefully over time I will be able to. Why customers' reviews are important to a business I bel...

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise...
