Written by Lisa Goodall
You don't always save money when you spend smart, but you get much more. The old adage "you get what you pay for" applies here. However— the more money you spend isn't necessarily a sign of eco-friendliness. That's a brain teaser, we know, we're about to explain. And remember always do your research. A smart purchase is the only one that allows you to justify the price because it has all the qualities you expect from an eco-conscious, beauty brand.

If we were the other guys, we'd attach some fibers to your eyelids with formaldehyde and make the next few weeks glamorous but sensitive-eye hell. But we’re not the other guys. We’re pretty confident our product will not only go on smoothly with no irritation but also help nourish your lash line. This is so you can grow stronger lashes while others weaken theirs with harmful glues. If you’d like a more customized look while using magnetic lashes, consider lash segments over full-band.

What is a Multipurpose Cosmetic or Minimal Ingredient Makeup Formula?

Written by Lisa Goodall

The beauty routine is a magical hour — every swipe, dab, and mist becomes a precious instrument of self-expression. But as a mindful consumer buying a half-dozen tubes of this-or-that isn’t magical but seems rather wasteful. The thing is, cosmetics is such a booming industry. It's difficult to tell which brands are producing truly sustainable products. Frequently, consumers are left to figure it out (e.g., knowing what’s greenwashing and what’s not.)

It might seem second nature, but you may enjoy putting on makeup for more reasons than just the razzle and dazzle of it all. We did a little digging and found getting done up, quite literally, improves your mental health. So if someone ever questions your choice to stand in front of the mirror for 30 solid minutes, you can tell them it’s an act of self-care. Not only does applying cosmetics enhance natural features, and boost the brain's dopamine and oxytocin production, but it amps up self-confidence, too.

First and foremost - what are these magnetic eyelashes?

They're false eyelashes that have tiny magnets attached to the lash band - which then attach to either a second band designed in the same way - which sandwiches your lashes, to a magnetic eyeliner or adhesive or by way of anchor magnets (similar to the first one, but with more precision).
