Eyelash hack that only costs $18!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tampa chapter.

I know I am not the only one that rolls out of bed for their 8 AM looking like I just got hit by a bus and wishing there was something I could do to make myself look at least a little presentable. With no time in the morning, between finally dragging myself out of bed and physically walking to class, I thought I was doomed in regard to looking half-decent without actually putting in the effort. I also find myself continuously curling then adding mascara on a never-ending cycle each time before I go out in efforts to cure my SSOLS (sticking straight-out lashes syndrome).

However, that was until I came across this beauty hack that not only changed the look of my eyelashes but reduced my time getting ready in the morning and going out as a whole. I have tried getting eyelash extensions in the past but from experience, I can tell you that it is not the way to go if you are trying to maintain a natural look, while still having noticeably popping lashes. I am not going to lie, I used to be an eyelash extension addict. However, I started to notice that the eyelash extensions were damaging my lashes and it clearly made my lashes less voluminous. Also, I know many of you are with me when I say it is impossible for a college girl on a budget to keep up with the pricey fills!

That being said, I gave up on the extensions and turned to my trusty friend Amazon. While scrolling through the website that has saved my life numerous times with its cheap prices and speedy shipping, I came across a kit that quenched my thirst for perfect lashes and rid my life of SSOLS forever. This kit is called “Lash Lift” and it is made by I consign. The kit comes equipped with all the tools necessary to perm your eyelashes: giving them a natural lift and eye-widening effect. It is extremely simple to use and you can either apply it yourself, that is if you can keep one eye open and one eye closed (which I cannot), or you can get a friend to help you out as I did!

 

The price for an eyelash lift done by a professional can range from $75-$150 per session. However, with this lash kit I used it once for less than twenty bucks and I wake up each morning looking like my eyelashes were already curled. Also, if you want to add to the eye-opening- effect even more, apply any mascara to your lashes and you will get compliments all day long, trust me on that one.

With this eyelash kit, I can wake up five minutes before class and not worry about wearing makeup or looking presentable. This kit has opened my eyes, literally and figuratively, to an affordable way to look good all day and every day. I can proudly say that I have cured my case of SSOLS and you can too for only $18 and shipping!
