No cost beauty tip of the day for eyelashes

If you wear mascara anyway try adding a tiny little bits on the very ends of your lashes. Leave it to dry while you get on with say blush or lips and then add a proper layer ensuring you really wriggle your brush into the roots. Your lashes will look super duper long!

I think I read this tip on a forum ages ago.   Does anyone else do this?

If not, ladies please try it and let me know what you think :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
