Finding the perfect everyday mascara isn’t a walk in the park. Regardless of how your lashes look and behave, you likely want something that’s voluminous, lengthening, and long-lasting. But some products that promise you all of the above end up leaving you looking like a racoon at the end of the day (we’ve all been there). 

That’s where the TikTok-viral Maybelline the Falsies Lash Lift mascara comes in. It has falsies in the name for a reason—yes, all you have to do is swipe this mascara on and it’ll look like you have a pair of fake lashes on. A volumized look with no tricky glue application required? Who doesn’t want that for themselves? 

You can get this faux lash lift look right now for less than $10 as part of Amazon’s Holiday Beauty Haul Event, which is currently offering up to 36% off of select makeup products. You’ll really need to act quickly, though, because it’s a deal that expires at the end of the day.

Here’s what makes this product such a hot commodity: the double curved brush gets extremely up close and personal with the roots of your lashes. This way, it lengthens and volumizes each individual lash. Plus, Maybelline heard our prayers for lashes that slay because this mascara’s formula is super volumizing and anti-clumping. A mascara that can do both? Sign us up!

The Maybelline the Falsies Lash Lift mascara has gained tons of traction on TikTok, but its fans also give the lowdown on Amazon. “I’ve got no lashes and this mascara gives me THICK long looking lashes!” wrote one shopper. Another one said, “I love the unique wand applicator too – various sizes and swoops make it easy to get the right spots. I’d buy this mascara again.” Plus, tons of others dub it their new “go-to,” “favorite,” and “staple” mascara.

TikToker @roseandben called out this almighty silver tube to her 754,500 followers. In the short clip, you can watch her compare the equally popular Maybelline Sky High mascara with the Maybelline the Falsies Lash Lift mascara. Though the Sky High one is a bit more well-known, the makeup guru holds up the Falsies Lash Lift and says, “this one is my favorite—it just leaves them so fluffy.” The biggest differentiator, for her, is that it doesn’t leave her lashes clumpy. Viewers can clearly see the difference, especially after Rose applies two coats of each formula. The Falsies Lash Lift mascara separates her lashes perfectly, leaving them defined yet feathery. 

We’re not quite sure what you’re waiting for at this point. Head over to Amazon’s beauty sale and pick up this volumizing, anti-clumping mascara that’ll keep your lashes perked up all day long.

Despite what you have been told by your doctor, or perhaps what you have seen with friends or family, the diagnosis of an auto-immune condition is not a life sentence. An auto-immune diagnosis does not automatically subject you to a lifetime of debilitating symptoms that are only half-masked by expensive pharmaceutical drugs like immunosuppressants or steroids.

So, what’s the secret to becoming one of the many who live with vitality and vigor despite their auto-immune disease(s)? It all starts with a few simple, consistent, daily lifestyle habits.

Time and time again, research and clinical examples have demonstrated that there are various things you can do to support your immune system, decrease inflammation, and rebalance your body so you can live without debilitating auto-immune symptoms.

Here are the top 5 easy – but crucial – practices that you need to implement immediately if you’re a woman suffering from auto-immunity:

Eradicate High Fructose Corn Syrup from Your Diet

Of course, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) isn’t the only food that women with auto-immunity should watch out for, but eliminating this perpetrator from your diet is a terrific place to start!

HFCS has been referred to as a “weapon of mass destruction” for health, and it is hiding in a surprisingly wide variety of foods including sweetened soft drinks, cereals, baked goods, and other bagged or packaged foods, yogurts, and even seemingly benign condiments like ketchup!

HFCS promotes inflammation via a number of physiologic pathways including elevated cytokine production and uric acid production. It can also increase both blood sugar and insulin levels, which promote weight gain and fat storage and further contribute to high levels of inflammation.

Decreasing dietary sources of inflammation is vital for women with auto-immune conditions, and removing HFCS (if you haven’t already) is an absolute must! Check your food labels for HFCS, or better yet, avoid packaged and boxed foods entirely!

Eat 7-9 Servings of Brightly Colored Fruits and Vegetables Every Single Day

It’s not always about what you need to take OUT of your diet… it’s also about what you need to ADD to it! Food is not just calories – the food we eat actually provides vital information to our bodies!

Eating 7-9 cups of fruits and vegetables (mostly vegetables) daily will help to ensure you’re getting all of the vitamins, minerals, and powerful phytonutrients and antioxidants your body needs to offset inflammation and promote balanced immune system function.

Also, if you’re focused on eating 7-9 cups of fruits and vegetables daily, that doesn’t allow as much room for unhealthy, inflammatory foods to sneak into your diet!

Walk 7,000-10,000 Steps Per Day

Physical activity is proven to be a strong modulator of the immune system. Regular exercise is extremely important, but as many women with auto-immune conditions have discovered, overdoing exercise can lead to greater inflammation and even an exacerbation of auto-immune symptoms.

The key is to engage in a balanced but consistent exercise routine that you can slowly progress in intensity as your body allows.

If you don’t already have a balanced, consistent exercise routine that works for you, you can begin by getting 7,000-10,000 steps every single day! Download a step counter on your phone, lace up your sneakers, and go! (Bonus points for walking outside in nature!!)

Go to Sleep by 10:30pm and Wake Up by 7:30am

Getting consistent and adequate sleep, meaning a MINIMUM of 7 hours, but ideally 8-9 hours of sleep per night, is one of the absolute best things you can do to promote a healthy, balanced immune system. Sleep is an anti-inflammatory process, and adequate sleep is vital for regulating cortisol, which is the body’s main stress hormone.

Going to bed by 10:30pm and waking up by 7:30am aligns with the body’s natural diurnal rhythm and can help promote balanced cortisol levels and healthy levels of inflammation, which are crucial for women with auto-immune conditions.

Meditate Every Morning for 10 Minutes

Some people may think that meditating for auto-immune disease sounds “quacky,” but a systematic review of 20 randomized controlled trials on mindfulness meditation concluded that “mindfulness meditation appears to be associated with reductions in proinflammatory processes, increases in cell-mediated defense parameters, and increases in enzyme activity that guards against cell aging.”

Additionally, it has become evident that stress plays a significant role in the presentation and progression of auto-immune diseases. This is especially evident in women due to the fact that females are physiologically more sensitive to the negative effects of stress, namely the hormone cortisol.

A 2013 study revealed that “Mindfulness meditation lowers the cortisol levels in the blood suggesting that it can lower stress and may decrease the risk of diseases that arise from stress…”

You can find loads of guided meditations online that you can listen to and follow along. You may not enjoy it at first, but stick with it… it’s a journey, and it will pay off!

These tips may seem simple. You may have even found yourself saying “I already know that” while reading. If that’s the case, then I want to know… are you actually following through on these practices 110% of the time? If not, then mastering these easy, daily foundational steps is exactly where you need to start. They don’t work if you don’t use them!

If you’ve already mastered these daily practices, yet you’re still struggling with your auto-immune symptoms, you need to work with an integrative health practitioner who can help you uncover and address the underlying root cause imbalances that may be contributing to your auto-immune disease so that you can finally ditch those debilitating symptoms once and for all.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Do you struggle with an auto-immune condition? What do you do to alleviate your symptoms? Do you often feel like you can’t live a normal life since you developed the condition? What has been most helpful in your journey?

Julia retired from a fast-paced corporate job about three years ago. At first, she had a difficult time figuring out what to do with all her time. She even slipped into depression seeking medical help and anti-depressants to help her through this change in her life.

Eventually, she became accustomed to having her time unscheduled, not producing for a company, and to low interaction with others. About two years into her retirement, she liked sitting in her chair reading the day away. She became fearful of riding her bike or walking as she might fall and get hurt.

Julia knew her aches and pains were contributed to getting older, and she accepted this. She exercised only with an occasional walk on nice weather days. Going to the gym by herself was not fun as she felt others saw her as frail and old. Julia found herself thinking about all her health problems, although they were minimal, wondering if this would be how she would die.

She attempted to learn a new language online but found it frustrating that she could not retain and learn new information quickly. By the third year of retirement, she felt old, acted old, and was treated old when she went out of her home.

Is it possible that Julia speeded up her aging process by thinking and acting old?

Consider Botox for the Brain

From the article, “Think yourself younger: Why positive thinking acts like Botox for the Brain,” by Leah Hardy:

As we get older, we might start to think we are too creaky of brain and body to fulfill our dreams of taking piano lessons, climb Machu Pichu or learn Italian. But hard evidence shows that it’s not our age that makes our brains less effective, it’s thinking we are too old to learn and do new things. 

Julia began thinking and experiencing old age before she needed to. She was healthy and active, but let it slide. She had a brilliant mind that only a few years back directed and managed a large team of workers. Her mental attitude about her changing lifestyle affected her aging.

Agism Is Everywhere

Negative stereotypes about the aging population are everywhere. They have been sneaked into our society. Many birthday cards for someone age 60+ are jokes about doing less, needing help of a cane or walker, or how funny it is to be old. We may even find these funny ourselves. Yet, this is an example of agism and damaging age beliefs that confront the older population today.

I’ve felt this attitude from others when waiting for someone to help me in a store. Often, the sales representative may head to a younger person before helping me. Have you experienced this too? Ageist attitudes convey a message to older adults that they are incompetent, repulsive, and a social burden. Do you also believe this about yourself? Is it affecting what you do every day?

Think Old, Be Old

Chhaya Nene states in her article, “How What You’re Thinking Right Now Is Aging Your Body,” that our own mental attitude affects how fast we age. Researchers have found that negative thoughts can lead to premature cell death – and that equals aging.

Research is mounting that your outlook, your personality and, how upbeat you are impacts not just how you feel but also how your cells age.

What a Positive Aging Outlook May Look Like

What is a positive aging outlook? Here are a few examples:

The years I have lived come with lots of wisdom. I can make good choices now that I’ve had so much experience. I can do so much to maintain my good health. Every day is a new experience, and I meet each one head on. I’m showered and ready for the day.

Researchers discovered that those believing in positive aging stereotypes lived 7.5 years longer than those who chose to believe negative stereotypes. 

Let’s face it. We are presented with health setbacks, financial worries, and relationship challenges at this age as much or more than at any age. Facing them with simple optimism can change the trajectory of events. Believing you are helpless and frail, that you can’t do certain things due to your age, makes life stressful and overwhelming.

Over the long term, this heightened stress response could raise the risk of ill health. If you are in poor health, can thinking positive make you feel better? Try this for yourself.

If I think to myself, “I feel old and achy today.” Guess what? That’s exactly how I will feel. But if I have the same thought and switch it up with, “I think I’ll get up and move about a bit. Maybe I’ll take a walk or do some stretches,” my attitude will change and so will the outcome.

What positive statements can you say about your health, how your body feels right now, or how old you are? I agree that we feel the effects of our bodies aging, but is it possible we are making it worse? Studies show that if you see aging and all that comes with it, part of your own personal growth, you may enjoy better health into your 70s and beyond.

Can I Really Change This?

You may be asking, “How do I go about changing this negative view I have acquired over time? I can’t just turn into all optimism and rainbows overnight.” So true.

Start small. Take time every day to remember the good that the day has brought you. Meditate or contemplate what’s going right. You could try journaling about your own gratefulness. Find the good in the present situation if you can. Allow yourself to feel good about making it to this wonderful phase of your life.

Spend time with positive thinkers and people who help you feel good about life. Try a free yoga class. Seek help from a professional coach or therapist if you need direction in how to switch some of your thinking to a more positive view.

Find a few quotes to repeat to yourself instead of self-talk full of negativity about your age. Meditation is a documented way to reduce blood pressure and stress. There are many free articles to be found or library books that can help you turn negativity to positivity. Take time to smell the roses.

Botox without Pain

Let’s give ourselves Botox for the brain (see above). It doesn’t require a needle or injections, but simply requires thinking positive and mentally enjoying the bright side of our 60s, 70s and beyond.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

Will you consider changing your self-talk on growing older? Does each passing birthday make you depressed? Do you feel the effects of agism when you go out shopping? Are you willing to try a different way of thinking?
