if you’ve followed a style file for awhile, there are a few things you know about me:
1. i have obsessive compulsive tendencies towards anything branded j.crew.
2. i’d rather spend a night at home painting my nails than going out.
3. i lack “talent” in the eyelash arena.
some things can be solved {read: shopping detox and forced night out to show the hubby he means more to me than opi’s quarter of a cent-cherry}, and others can’t. and for those things that can’t {eyelashes? yep, still sparse.}, i have accepted that i can’t always get what i want. until something comes along and changes that.

hello lashes! created by the masterminds at it cosmetics {led by jamie kern lima}, this mascara promises to take the place of five products: volumizing mascara, lash primer, lash-enhancing serum, lash tint and combo lash comb/curler.
let me be the first to tell you – a five-in-one isn’t an urban legend!

long story short, i was skeptical at first. i’ve met my fair share of mascaras, most of which were a huge disappointment {a lady never divulges names}. upon pulling the wand out of the tube, i noticed just how truly unique the brush is {coined the “triple brush”}. my favorite part is the little ball on the end that “discovers” lashes you may not have previously known existed.
skipping over the nitty gritty details of application {which was a dream if you must know}, my lashes were as dark as my favorite kohl eyeliner {i die!}, thicker than i’d ever want anything else on my body to be {thick waistline? bad. thick eyelashes? good.}, and longer than… i’ll just stop there. i also found hello lashes to be quite addictive. one coat just wasn’t enough for me. i kept applying and applying, and with every coat my lashes turned into something i never thought possible. my puny lashes were long gone.
hello lashes is a game changer – and a life changer {sort of like spanx}. you need to buy this mascara. end of story.
