Review - DivaDerma Lash Extensions in a bottle.

at-a-glance: mascara-like delivery system of small fibers to use between coats of mascara to give an extension-like effect to lashes

ingredients: cellulose, panthenol, vitamin e.

price: $30-$39, depending on your retailer

how it went down:

A friend of mine gave me this product and I was like... no way. This can not work. I was a little scared that it might give me spider legs... I love lush lashes...but not over volumized. My go to mascara is Sephora's Lash Stretcher mascara that already contains fibers, so I was apprehensive about using it with the DivaDerme, so I used MAC Cosmetics' Pro Lash, which is more of a basic mascara. I applied it to fresh, wet mascara by slowly moving up the lashes from root to tip. The first time I used it, I got fibers all over my face and into my eyes**. So on the next eye, I tilted my head down slightly and alleviated this problem. I also like to use a tissue under my eye to catch any runaways.

the verdict? This stuff is insane. I am an avid user of falsh lashes, and with this, I really don't need them anymore.

my tips:
Use on fresh wet mascara. Allow the first coat to dry with the extension on it before apply the next coat to seal them in, this way you don't pull any off with your brush while they are still wet.

For even more drama, place tissue under lashes and apply the fibers to the top of the lashes too! Absolutely ridiculous volume and length.

Try using a basic mascara like Great Lash or MAC's Prolash to avoid over-clumpiness.


worth it? definitely..it looks like the bottle will last a while and whatever you spend on it...you'll make up for it by not buying false lashes!



**I don't know if they claim safe for contacts, but I wear contacts and haven't had any issues.

I will take pictures when I use in the am and post so you can see the effect!

holy crip, its a crapple

so i totally suck at updating this blog...sowwwy. At any rate, I posted a new youtube vid tonite...not anything to jump over a chair for...I just wanted to practice making/uploading vids becaussssee....

I ordered a new Hi Def cam! Yay! So that means talky videos are a-coming. I'm hoping I can get a few Halloween Tutorials in before the big day. My plans are to recreate the tiger I did last year that was such a big hit and a few others that I have enjoyed doing in the past. I'm planning on doing some product reviews and basic stuff too...there's so many gurus on youtube and I don't want to do a bunch of stuff that's already been done..I mean, how many eyebrow tutorials do you really need? So I want to be totally different. If I can get away with it, I want to do some vids while I shop...but I don't want to get kicked out of CVS. Ha! Ok, well that's really all I wanted to say, I just felt the need to update. Oh! and here's a little tribal mask I did tonite, I saw a sweet facechart online and I had to recreate it..I tweaked it a bit for my own face shape. I looked crazed in this picture. Nite betches!
