Review : Does castor oil really makes your eyelashes thicker?

Idiot alert!

Last week, trying to top up my make up game, I decided to give a try to my eyelash curler. Result? 

Being almost idiotically clumsy, I was squeezing hard this curler, the metal part slid from the rubber part that ended up CUTTING half of my eyelashes from the root.

Good time to try castor oil.

I have used castor oil, coconut oil, argan oil and olive oil in this experiment. I noticed that castor oil is the one that provided results. I put it onto the roots of my eyelashes every night with a thin brush.

Pros:
 . It makes your eyelashes grow faster and slightly longer. 
(the eyelashes that were cut were longer by the morning, I swear.)
. It will condition your eyelashes, they won't break easily.
. You will shed less eyelashes.

Cons:
.It won't make your eyelashes thicker.
. I had puffiness on my lash line in the morning.
. Don't let it get into your eye, you will have a blurry vision for a while.


Anybody else who tried castor oil?

Review : ORIGINS Clean Energy Gentle cleansing oil.

Hello people, as you know we should double cleanse our face in the evening if we wear make-up and/or sunscreen. This post is a review about Origins Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil.

I could write a long post about it but I'll save you the time : Just go and buy it. 
This oil blend of olive, safflower, sesame, sunflower, grape, macadamia, kukui, sweet orange, lavandin, lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, patchouli, cedarwood, clary sage. rosemary, sandalwood,  geranium and australian sandalwood oil mixture emulsifies with water and gets all the grime out of your pores.

The only two negative things I could say about this product is the not-so-reasonable-but-i-love-good-stuff-on-my-face price tag and having to purchase the pump separately (no, I haven't)

When you have your make-up on and your face is dry, you have to take a lil bit of this oil onto your palm and massage it gently until you have all the grime melted. Then, either you take the oil of with a damped flannel or muslin cloth or wash it away with lukewarm water. Voila. A little spa experience with all this wonderful smell of essential oils. Of course it might put you off if you're sensitive to unusual odours,

I find this cleansing oil for removing the make-up or cleansing my face (as the second cleanse) and a quick fix in the morning. It doesn't strip your face's natural oils nor leaves your face oily as some of you might fear.

Please don't hesitate to ask me questions if you have any.
