Dior - DiorShow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum

What it promises to do: Dior's first lash primer that combs, curls, and coats each lash to create a smooth, even mascara base, while acting as a nourishing serum treatment that promotes long-term lash growth, strength, and vitality. (Sephora Website)

What else you need to know: "Diorshow Maximizer is this season's most innovative, must-have product. Apply as a primer serum base under mascara for intensely curled, thickened, and lengthened lashes and also on its own as a deep conditioner for lashes at night." -Sephora Pro Beauty Team Member, Nathalie Bechard (Sephora Website)


Research Results: The Dior Innovation Center has tested Diorshow Maximizer for efficiency and found amazing results after only 8 weeks use: + 52% Volume, +38% Length, + 73% Curl
Studies also showed that lashes were more resilient, protected, and revitalized. (Sephora Website)



My take...

I love it! As a primer, I think it is amazing. It lengthens my lashes and boosts volume. I use it right before I apply my regular mascara which is Maybelline Colossal Lash (love!) and I get long, lush lashes! However, I don't use it everyday to be able to comment on whether or not it is a good lash conditioner. From what I have heard from others, it seems work great as well. The best part is the price! Other lash conditioners are about $60 and up, but Dior's is approximately $30, which is the average price of a Dior mascara.

Have you tried this? If so, do you love it or hate it?

Primped & Proper Loves CityChic Extensions

Eyelash extensions have become all the rage. What girl doesn’t want flirty, long and voluminous lashes? We all put on at least seven coats of mascara on everyday, don’t we? Well, ditch your mascara, get your booty over to CityChic Extensions, and get one of the lovely ladies to apply a set of eyelash extensions to your lashes. I got a chance to try them out a few months ago and I loved, loved them! I felt so pretty and done up all the time. My technician did such an amazing job. She carefully applied the lashes to my own natural lashes and in the end; I had long and voluminous lashes. I literally stared at myself in the mirror for about 5 minutes. I just could not get over how great they looked! Eyelash extensions are low maintenance and do not harm your own natural lashes.

Questions from You Answered

Hi Eman,

I am a very big fan. What i wanted to ask u is what is the best non water proof mascara for dramatic dark blackest black thicker lashes cuz i dont like using fake lashes or lash extensions for that matter,also if u know a good way to take care of my eyelashes and make then healthy and keep them that way, thank u so much for ur helpful tips.


My favorite non waterprooof mascara is the Smoky Lash mascara by Make Up For Ever. It gives you nice thick lashes. You can put on so many layers and it never looks clumpy. Plus it extra black. The best way to take care of your lashes is to remove all your eye makeup every night using a gently makeup remover.

Ardell False Eyelashes

I don't like spending a lot of money on something if I don't have to. Ardell False lashes look beautiful on, come in lots of shapes, sizes and styles and they are a lot cheaper than "name brand" lashes. I wear Ardell lashes all the time. My favorites are 116 and 120. Other brand name lashes are great too but why spend double the price for the same thing?

Try them out and let me know what you think.

Tarte Multipleye Lash Enhancer

Tarte Multipleye Lash Enhancer promises to make big changes in the look of your lashes. Here is what Sephora.com has to say about this product:

MultiplEYE is a natural lash enhancer that increases the length of lashes by 152%. The proprietary HydroPlant Peptide™ is clinically proven to give the appearance of longer, thicker lashes with natural ingredients. Soy and amino acid proteins combine to form an essential super protein base that fortifies and nourishes lashes. This protein emulsion is infused with cellulose, a plant-derived thickening agent, and vitamin C, an antioxidant booster. The results speak for themselves: 100% of subjects reported an increase in lash softness and the appearance of lash length while 90% of subjects reported an increase in lash thickness.

This has even been compared to Latisse - the pricey prescription only lash enhancing treatment. Has anyone tried this product? Let me know what you think!

StimuLashFusion Intensive Night Conditioning Lash Enhancer

I have stopped using my Talika Lash Conditioner, not because it is bad, but because I have run out and every time I go to Sephora I forget to pick up another tube. I may have to stray away from Talika to try to Fusion Beauty's StimuLashFusion Intensive Night Conditioning Lash Enhancer. I am a very big fan of Lip Fusion so I am excited to try this. StimuLashFusion Intensive Night Conditioning Lash Enhancer is meant to augment the length and fullness of your lashes in just six weeks. It contains Vitamin E as well as nourishing peptides and amino acids. It does NOT contain any harmful parabens or fragrances. This is opthamologist tested and can be used on eyebrows as well if you need a little boost.

Sky High Lashes

Want long, lush lashes? Call your doctor. No, I am serious. Latisse is a new prescription treatment recently approved by the FDA that promises fuller, darker lashes in two to four months. Results last as long as you keep using it. I am calling my doctor ASAP! It's time to ditch the flash lashes!

Look At Me Lashes!

Flash lashes are all the rage at the moment. Make Up For Ever has a range of fifty plus lashes for you to choose from. Whether you want a natural, dramatic or colorful and sparkly look, they have what you need. This line of flash lashes is only available at Sephora and every single time I have gone in to take a look at them they have been pretty low in stock because of their extreme popularity. The only advice that I have is to make sure that you have applied them properly so that you do not run the risk of having them fall out and also choose your lashes wisely.

If you are not the Make Up For Ever type of girl, try MAC’s line of flash lashes. They are just as fabulous.

Lash Fabulous!!!!

Get this great new mascara from Rimmel (Volume Flash Mouse Mascara), gives amazing volume without the clogging that this type of mascara can give & has a light mouse texture keeping your lashes feeling flexible & light, so no spider-legs!! It has received rave reviews already & is certainly the favourite new addition to my make-up bag!! As always it has a friendly price tag but does the hard work like any of the best brand names priced over double the ££'s!!
