In 8th Grade I won "Prettiest Eyes" in our year book. I remember I was shocked over it and didn't really get it. I did learn to use my eyes to distract from what I didn't want people to notice as much. I learned to use my eyes to my advantage.  Now that I am older and have  become comfortable with all of me I still get the most compliments about my eyes. The ironic part is and what many people don't know is I have a rare and strange condition that makes me lose me eyesight for brief moments.

So over the years I have learned to care for my eyes and continue to receive compliments about my eyes and specifically my eyelashes. So welcome to my secrets. Some you might know about already, or maybe not. But this is what I do.

1.Everynight I clean off my eye make-up with extra virgin coconut oil. not make up removers just coconut oil. It works wonderfully.

2. Curl!!! I use eye curlers.  I warm mine up first with the blow dryer. Test on your skin first so you don't burn yourself. But yes warm your curler up. Then place the curler at the base of your lashes and hold it down for up to 10 seconds. Do this a couple more times to enhance the curl.

3.Wiggle it just a little bit.... wiggling the brush from left to right to get an even coat. Then swipe, swipe, swipe up from your tips to get that extra length. Let it dry and go in for another coat

I don't use expensive mascara but have tried many special kinds and keep coming back to this one.
