Beauty Myths

As you know there are many beauty myths out there so we've decided to do a segment where we find out beauty myths and prove them right or wrong.

Today's beauty myth asked on Facebook.

"Hey Maya and Olivia, does Vaseline make you eyelashes longer?"

- Unfortunately, no, Vaseline doesn't make your eyelashes grow but it does create and effect which makes them look fuller and longer. The Vaseline moisturises your eyelashes and makes them stronger which makes them less likely to fall out and have a better chance of growing abit. It also make your eyelashes thicker and makes them shinier.

- It offers no proven nutrition for them and is more greasy than moisturising. The vaseline may irritate your eyes and can potentially clog the pores around your eyes. To acheive nourished lashes, look for a mascara formula that offers vitamin and colagen rich ingredients.

- These special mascaras and treatments are scientifically proven to make your eyelashes grow, so go check them out!

We hope you have all had a great start to the new year and we are looking forward to answering more questions - so keep them coming!

Thank you,
