QUICKED COOL: FANTASTIC FALSIES

QUICKED COOL: FANTASTIC FALSIES

LASHES:
Last summer I bought a Groupon for lash extensions. I always like to try things that know one I know of has just to be the guinea pig. Why not right? Well, when is comes to beautification inventions my Hollywood bestie has usually tried them first. So, I had seen the greatness of lash extensions on her first. Verdict: They take forever to get put on, but it's fairly relaxing. Once on- they look and feel fab.

However, (sad face) without an endless supply of Groupons they can be expensive ($80 a pop plus tip) AND the worst part for someone like me who cannot keep them up is that they can also do a number on your real lashes as they start to fall off! SO... since mascara is basically the only MUST HAVE in my beauty routine, I returned to looking for an answer to long lashes that goes beyond mascara. I FOUND IT!!  Here is a great video that helped me understand them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV9pVOWeN0E
I will post some pics of mine as well, but I basically wear them everyday (they can last for up to three, even in the shower) and they cost $30- so last about two months in my case. Much better deal and they dont pull out your real lashes when they come off!! SCORE.

NAILS:
Another favorite "falsie" of mine are nail stickers. My nails are pretty bendable and don't get very long. A regular ol' manicure will last MAYBE a few days before chipping. Because stickers bend and stretch with your nail, they stay at least a week on me! And what is more fun then some fancy designs. I try to find the more muted ones so that they are still professional and not overwhelming. They are super easy to put on but are a but pricey, so I don't wear them all the time. Just when I am getting tired of my favorite clear polish ;).
I have been using L'Oreal brand and they run about $8 a pair, cheaper then most manicures and for me, they last longer too. Here is an extensive list courtesy of Cosmo with other brands to try.


Enjoy!


QUICKED COOL: Bad A@@ Bandi Belts!

QUICKED COOL: Bandi Belts!


My mom spotted these on GMA and I already LOVE mine. Protects your phone and key, plus has room for ID, money, etc. PLUS they are adjustable for those of us who may fluctuate weight.


This would be awesome for runners and workout enthusiasts, but also for the mom at the park, the museum, etc. LOVE this concept! This is the one my momma bought me. But there are LOTS of styles and if you are traveling abroad, there is a special one that will hold your passport too- GENIUS!

They are currently all sold out of the phone size bands due to being featured on GMA, but I am sure they will be restocking soon!

Here's to a hands free summer!!
