My Secret For Longer Eyelashes
This is a long time coming. I am excited to share more beauty content with y’all. And today I want to share with y’all what I do make my eyelashes look super long and full!
For longer lashes, I use a serum, primer, and my sacred mascara I have been using since high school.
SERUM. I was pretty skeptical about using a serum but this guy actually works! I noticed a difference within a couple of weeks and love that on my lazy days #HairTiedChillinWithNoMakeUpOn my eyelashes
PRIMER. THIS IS EVERYTHING. This was my first time trying an eyelash primer and I’m obsessed. A primer helps give your lashes length so that you don’t have to apply ten thousand layers of mascara, making a clumpy look.
MASCARA. I owe my eyelash mystique to this product. It’s less than $10 and seriously my most important piece of make-up. I have tried more expensive, designer mascaras and found a lot that I liked– but this will always be my all time fav because of the length and lightness it gives my lashes.
Pro Tip. For a more dramatic look I tightline my eyeliner. Tightlining is when you apply a thin line of eyeliner to your upper lid’s waterline to better define your eyelashes!
YASSS for sassy eyelashes! Let me know if my mascara routine works for you!

Dani

![[PART 1] When I was 5 years old my friend’s mom called my mom after a playdate. “Hi Annamarie, Molly said Dani is making her organize her closets again.” (LOL)
My mom had to sit me down and tell me this was not an activity every child enjoyed. While all of the other kids were out playing on the swings - you could find 5 year old Dani organizing her markers in color coordination.
Now, I’m no Marie Kondo and those organizational skills are long gone but my point is, I’ve always put an insane amount of pressure on myself. In high school, I’d religiously wake up at 5:00 am every morning and run 5 miles before track practice. I took the SAT over 6 times to make sure my score was good enough to get into University of Texas. I used to stay up all night studying 10 hours for an exam that my peers studied 2 hours for.
50% of this pressure comes from overwhelming gratitude.
I know my parents sacrificed so much for me that I want to be everything and more. The other 50% comes from an insecurity rooted deep down in not ever feeling good enough.
It comes from not really knowing who I am. Sometimes, the pressure paralyzed me.
Sometimes it made me lose my appetite.
Sometimes it hindered me from leaving my house.
And 100% of the time, it ignored God’s plans for me. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 When we give power to the little voice in our heads that tells us we aren’t ‘enough’ - we inherently ignore God’s plan to give us hope and a future.
Not going to bed at a reasonable hour so I can edit photos?
Spending too much time looking at my phone rather than engaging with my husband?
Not reaching out to grandma, because I am ‘too busy’? Can’t say this is how the Lord intends for me to live my life. Today I had plans to work on all of these photos and videos to launch @thesassyclub app.
That’s right! We have an app!
But instead of allowing the pressure to make me work harder and longer, I’ve decided to trust God today....(continued) #thesassyclub](http://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/8dc64a565872ab3a5cfc5e7a0a1d856c/5D2CC1F1/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/53716616_389706944916683_8892988551048599196_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com "[PART 1] When I was 5 years old my friend’s mom called my mom after a playdate. “Hi Annamarie, Molly said Dani is making her organize her closets again.” (LOL)

I have that primer and I like it but sometimes it’s hard to apply mascara on top of it. Do you let it dry THEN apply mascara? Or do you apply mascar on top of the WET primer?
LOVE YOU BTW! 😘😘
