Lazy lady
Getting home after a late night out, the only thing on your mind is sleep.

Stand out lashes
Too many choices for mascara? Flake-free, big volume and economical are three of the factors that play into making a great choice. With mascara having the shortest shelf life of any makeup (toss after 4 months), Maybelline New York’s The Falsies is a stand out amongst all others. For about $9, this formula produces an easy lash with its scoop-shaped brush that rivals actual false lashes.
