I’ve been riding the false lash train pretty hard lately (eh, I go through phases). I typically do a layer of mascara on my bare lashes before I apply my falsies (instead of after) because it makes cleaning simpler and puts less wear and tear on them, and they don’t get as goopy, which implies I get to reuse them a couple much more times.

Sometimes I do go the other way, though, applying my mascara after my falsies to really marry them together, but I’m not Mariah Carey… I can’t see her reusing drugstore lashes (in my mind she has a new diva set every day), so I’d rather be able to reuse my lashes a few much more times instead.

How about you? Do you typically apply mascara before or after false lashes? or not at all?

P.S. I have a lady date tonight! — and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m meeting my pal Marisol, and we’re gonna go to Sephora, and we’re gonna go to HomeGoods, and we’re gonna get ramen, which is essentially a recipe for a really pleased evening.

Hope you’re doing something fun today too on this soon-to-be very rainy day. (There’s a storm brewin’… Didn’t Sarah Connor say that?) Yeah, I don’t even know if I ought to bother doing my hair. That’s the thing about cutting it shorter. You gotta do “stuff” to it.
