[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]T[/eltd_dropcaps]imes are tough right now. As well as the ongoing societal problem of systematic and systemic racism against black people across the world, the Coronavirus pandemic continues. With many of us still abiding by lockdown restrictions, travelling has been severely disrupted. 

You may have had a holiday planned that’s been cancelled or postponed. You might have planned to take a quick trip away to escape the hustle and bustle of life.

How To Get Naturally Fuller Lashes and Brows for Summer

[eltd_dropcaps type=”normal” color=”” background_color=””]I[/eltd_dropcaps]f lockdown has taught us anything about our beauty regimes, it’s how nice it feels going to bed at night without having to remove any mascara, false lashes and eyebrow pencil!

Yep, that means letting those brows get bushier and lashes look more natural.
