eyelashes_mascaraThis may surprise you girls, but even though I adore getting all dolled up and spending forever getting my makeup just perfect, there are some days where I just want to skip it all and go natural. Maybe it’s just me, but I find a Zen-like quality in facing the world purely, wearing only sunscreen and lip balm.

If you’re the same way, you’ll enjoy this tip: skip your mascara for a day and wear Vaseline on your eyelashes. Yes, I do mean petroleum jelly. It makes your lashes look thick and shiny, plus it adds moisture to an area of your body I bet you never moisturize. It’s not only good looking, but good for you! What could be better?

  6. haha I have virtually no lower eyelashes, so this doesn’t really work for me – good tip anyway, vaseline does wonders :)

  7. Sammie – ha, I know. My lashes are blonde, so the thought of going without mascara’s pretty terrifying. The vaseline really helps them to stand out though!

    Holli – you’re too sweet! I’m on an au naturel kick at the moment; my theory is that the less makeup I wear, the more my skin and lashes will grow naturally beautiful. We’ll see how that goes…

    Lucinda – just try an eyelash primer to pump them up a bit!

  8. Ive done that a few times, it makes lashes look darker aswell. Vaseline is good for eyebrows too, it makes them look more smooth and neat.
