Which Eyelash Do You Prefer?


Want tips on how to have beautiful long eyelashes???


Nowadays it is not impossible to get what you want when it comes to beauty. It's just a matter of choice which one suits you best. Talking about eyelashes you can either choose a nice mascara that will make that magic for you, go to the salon to have an eyelash extension done or a fake eyelashes to finish your look.



As for me I use both mascara and fake eyelashes, it just depends of my mood which one I feel like using. There are some occasion that I used them both at the same time. To get the a good long eyelash using mascara I use the one that has a primer, just be careful in choosing a brand because some of it just gives you a clumpy eyelashes. I personally use L'Oreal brand or if I am really lazy enough Maybeline Stilletto Red works for me. I think the red one is waterproof.



Now for the fake eyelashes I don't use those expensive brands. Many times I just buy my eyelashes at this asian store for .99 cents and when I tell people that, they think it's from MAC. I think the real key is find one that suits your style and the size of your eyes. The reason is there are eyelash that is just too long and I'm sure you've seen some bizarre looking ones. I try to look for the most natural looking and if I really can't find the right length for me I settle for the right style and I just cut the ends so that I don't have extras hanging off the side of my eyes. When I say size I am referring to the length of your eyes not the eyelash. Hope you guys know what I mean ^_~...By the way the brand I use is "cherry" those are the cheap ones that you can find that has same quality as the expensive ones.



Ok here is the questions I know plenty people ask me. How do you get it on? and Does it last all day without falling off? I say..Oh yes! The real secret is having a good adhesive. When I started using eyelashes that was my biggest frustration too. I just kept trying products till I found one that works really good. I use a dark tone glue DUO brand for my eyelash adhesive. I promise mines last from day to night! One more thing for more natural look I also use those individual eyelash. This is the occasion when I use the mascara then after I put those single eyelashes in between my real ones. It takes sometime to learn on how to put it on but trust me once you learn you'll be proud of yourself. I won't lie it just takes some time.



As for the eyelash extension, I've also tried it I would say I liked it the first week but when it started falling off I thought it was so awful. As it fall off my real eyelash falls off too. That was scary for me and I didn't like it when the extension was poking my eyes. One day I went to the mall and I saw this girl who was working at my favorite shop and I thought " I wish I could wear those fake eyelashes instead of what I have" My point is at least with putting on the eyelashes yourself you are more in control. Again it's all about your personal preference.

Ugly

I love the lyrics of this song..so I want to share it to my dear readers.. The song will play shortly.

"UGLY"
When I was 7
They said I was strange
I noticed that my eyes and hair weren't the same
I asked my parents if I was OK
They said you're more beautiful
And that's the way they show that they wish
That they had your smile
So my confidence was up for a while
I got real comfortable with my own style
I knew that they were only jealous cos
People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you
There was a time when I felt like I cared
That I was shorter than everyone there
People made me feel like life was unfair
And I did things that made me ashamed
Cos I didn't know my body would change
I grew taller than them in more ways
But there will always be the one who will say
Something bad to make them feel great
People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you
(Repeat 2 times)
Everybody talks bad about somebody
And never realises how it affects somebody
And you bet it won't be forgotten
Envy is the only thing it could be
Cos people are all the same(The same, the same)
And we only get judged by what we do(What we do, yeah, yeah)
Personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then(Yeah, you)
So are you
So are you
People are all the same(Oh, oh, oh)
And we only get judged by what we do(What we do, yeah)
Personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then(Yeah, so are you)
So are you
So are you

I hope you enjoy the song. I find it so true what the chorus says in this song.. There are some people that says something about other people but little that you know that person who talk about others is just very insecure, jealous or hiding something much more smelly issues. =P

I'm Tweeting

Ok, after seeing it so many times on tv I finally sign up on twitter. Everyone is curious how it works and someone told me about it before it became popular. I kinda have an idea on how it works, I have so many profiles that it's hard to keep up so I am only choosing some. I am definitely keeping my friendster account because I have most of my friends and family there.

I am just excited to announce that I am finally on there =) I would love to get some followers there too! Here is my twitter site http://twitter.com/mcj008 I hope to see U there =)

What Marriage is Really About

I saw this on my friends post and thought I'd share it =)

This is such a cute story.

He ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. Theold man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half..He placed one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted outthe French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed onepile in front of his wife.

He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cupdown between them. As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, thepeople around them kept looking over and whispering. You could tellthey were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is onemeal for the two of them.'

As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table. Hepolitely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old mansaid they were just fine - They were used to sharing everything.

The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten abite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally takingturns sipping the drink.

Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy anothermeal for them.. This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we areused to sharing everything.'

As the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with thenapkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who hadyet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you're waitingfor?'

She answered . . . . ..

(This is great)**********
