Waterproof Mascara

I think that waterproof mascara has completely ruined my lashes. I’ve been mourning my lashes before I started using waterproof and they were just to their fullest. They were full, long, and double lined. Now their thin and t looks like I’m balding on my lash line.

Well maybe not quite, but it’s definitely not what i am used to. Although I do really love waterproof since it was one of the only mascaras that helped my lashes stay up. I need a very long break from it.

Also taking off waterproof mascara after a long night or day, even if you have makeup remover, it takes forever. It feels like I’m scrubbing my eyes for a solid 20 minutes before its even remotely off. I feel like waterproof mascara is liked by many people but no one talks about how it has bad effects. I honestly think it just thins out your lashes to a point where they break.

So if you’re reading this and your thinking about using waterproof mascara please put your lashes first. You do not wanna deal with your natural lashes looking awful even after a regular curl.

Yes it has a positive side but the negative effects of it completely take over. Yeah they stay up but is it worth the breakage? Its really not and I would throw away every waterproof mascara if I could to get my old lashes back.

I’m the type of person that always has to take their makeup off. It doesn’t matter the occasion or where we are. Before I go to bed I must take off my makeup, so if you are that person. Do not get waterproof mascara.

Social Media

Every day, I have to remind myself that what I see on social media isn’t reality. I believe that our brains weren’t made to process so many opinions from different people. Negative comments about someone or something can affect so many. The other day I was scrolling on TikTok, something I do many times a day because it is addicting. I came across a girl with a good amount of followers. I got sucked into her account and just kept scrolling through and reading comments from others. Until I realized everything she used for her account was AI-generated. She would even edit herself using AI, and nobody even realized until recently. It took me 30 minutes of scrolling to realize everything on her platform was fake.

Things on social media can have a particularly significant impact on teenagers. Deteriorating their mental health by the day, and how they view themselves. Rather than edited pictures on Instagram or a completely unrealistic TikTok video. It can make someone of any age greatly insecure. Before the year of 2020, social media used to be something fun. Where people would post random things about their lives or express themselves. Such as hard posting a Starbucks drink on Instagram, or walking their dog on the beach. Just random things that brought life to social media. Recently, people have been looking back and recreating things from 2016. Such as the aesthetics. Which I believe is going to bring more of a community to social media rather than a competition.
