Being a contact lens wearer, I know how much of a pain it can be to wear eye makeup that causes irritations all day! After using this mascara, I was able to tell a major difference. My lashes looked like they were fake, and I couldn’t believe how much of a bargain it was to achieve the look!

You can spray it on slightly damp hair while styling, or spray on dry hair to finish and hold your style. Hold can 10-12 inches from hair, and spray in an even, all-around motion. I used this hairspray in 85 degree weather to hold my curls in place, and they stayed put all day! This hairspray is great for natural, soft looks. It won’t give your hair that hard, crunchy feeling! You can get it for just $2.99 here.
