Leah McSweeney’s Burberry Canvas Tote

Leah McSweeney’s Burberry Canvas Tote in Newport

Real Housewives of New York Season 12 Episode 10 Fashion

One thing that in our opinion makes RHONY newbie Leah McSweeney an excellent addition to the housewives franchise is that she comes with a lot of baggage. And while you may think that we’re referring to her mommy issues and crazy teenage years, we’re actually talking about her collection of cute bags like the Burberry canvas tote we saw her packing up on last night’s ep in Newport; well, mostly.

Fashionably,

Faryn

Real Housewives of New York Season 12 Episode 10 Fashion

The scene featuring Leah McSweeney packing up her belongings the morning after the ravioli-chucking incident in Newport, Rhode Island on last night’s episode of RHONY featured a treasure-trove of goodies for us to report on like this pretty rose gold suitcase. Which just like it’s owner appears to have a tough, hardened exterior…although a little less rough around the edges.

Oil-Free Eyeliner Perfect for Lash Extensions

If you’re a fan of lash extensions or lash lifts, you know the deal. Oils in eye makeup and makeup remover can break down the glue and solution and cause your pricey treatment to fall out faster. That’s a disaster. Luckily, there are some stellar oil-free eyeliners that are still long-wearing, ultra-pigmented and even smudge-proof. You’ll get that precise line every time without damaging your lashes.

Choose Beauty Garde’s oil-free liquid liner if you love a cat-eye as the flocked-tip applicator helps you swipe with ease. Prefer a brush tip? Dlux Professional’s ink liner is just like the oil-infused brush-tip ones you know and love but without the damaging ingredient. If you’re someone who can’t live without pencil liner, Almay’s eyeliner pencil comes in a pretty dark purple as well as black so you can create a sultry, smudged-out look perfect for day or night. Plus, it has a built-in sharpener so there’s no need to find the one you have laying around.

Go with that classic cat-eye, try the floating eyeliner trend or double up with a colorful line on top. Keep multiple eyeliners in your beauty kit for all your creative styles. Shop some of our favorite oil-free eyeliners, below.

Try Gold Eyeliner for Touch of Glam this Weekend

While black and brown eyeliner is always classic, gold eyeliner is a surprisingly useful item to have in your beauty kit. It pops against all skin tones and adds a touch of glam to any beauty look. You can go subtle with gold liner and smudge the lash line or add a bold swipe for an eye-catching vibe. You really can’t go wrong. We especially love how gold liner looks with other eyeliner shades, including black (of course) and other metallics like silver.

Choose Maybelline’s Starlight Gold liner if you’re looking for a more laid-back glam. The shimmer makes your eyes sparkle but the gold hue is lighter and more subtle. On the other hand, Revlon’s gel eyeliner in 24K is exactly what its name describes: a bold, rich gold. For a long-wearing formula that’s also cruelty-free (and Leaping Bunny certified!), we love Wunder2’s Metallic Gold pencil liner. It goes on like a cream and blends out beautifully.

Shop some of our favorite gold eyeliner shades below. You’ll be surprised at how often you reach for it in your makeup bag to add seamlessly into any of your usual looks. Get ready for all the compliments—seriously.

Can Castor Oil Really Help Your Lashes & Brows Grow?

Hair loss is a well-known and wide-spread issue. Thinning hair can be caused by a vast array of different things, from genetics to stress to diet and prescription medications. However, while we typically think of the hair on our head when it comes to this concern, our lashes and eyebrows can also be impacted by the same reason the hair on heads begins to thin. Castor oil has been generating buzz lately, touted for its apparent ability to help promote accelerate eyebrow and eyelash re-growth. Unlike Biotin and other B-vitamins, there isn’t a ton of clinically backed research vetting the alleged connection between castor oil and accelerated hair regrowth. On the other hand, the anecdotal research is pretty compelling, with plenty of before-and-after pics scattered throughout the web.

While the academic research and clinical trials examining the oil’s ability to promote hair re-growth may be scant, that doesn’t mean the connection is to be completely discredited. In fact, castor oil does have natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal proprieties, which can thoroughly cleanse and remove dead skin and product buildup from the scalp. When the hair follicles on the scalp are clogged, this inhibits normal hair growth. Just like congested pores on your face, congested follicles on your scalp are simply no good. And, according to some castor oil manufacturers, it functions as an effective growth accelerant because it’s penetrated easily, delivering a saturated dose of Vitamin E, triglyceride fatty acids, and bond-building proteins. In short, while more research needs to be conducted for castor to earn  the FDA’s seal of approval, if you’re like us, the vast amount of “true stories” documenting its benefits are enough to convince us to try it out for ourselves.

After experiencing a month or two of non-stop stress and lack of sleep, I woke up one morning and as I looked in the mirror, I realized that my brows were noticeably thinner than a week or two ago. Of course, given my non-stop schedule that had taken over my life during the past weeks, it makes sense that the thinning brow situation would go unnoticed until that very moment. In panic mode, I immediately began to research what type of disease could be at the root of my suddenly skimpy brows, only to settle on the conclusion that it was in fact, probably stress — a very common cause of hair loss according to my bible, WebMd. Anyways, after learning that a few friends of mine had also been battling this sudden onset of thinning brows, I began to try out the oil myself to see what I could glean. I’m not sure if my restored brows were courtesy of my return to a more balanced schedule or the castor oil, but there was a visible improvement in the fullness of my brows. While I can’t speak to its impact on eyelash growth, I would imagine it would have same effect and the products below all claim to help in this department. Here are some of our favorite formulas.
