Beautiful eyes start with perfect eyelashes, but not all of us are blessed with long wonderful lashes. That’s why we buy false eyelashes or go to the salon for eyelash extensions. Well, false eyelashes are hard to put on properly and extensions require aftercare and commitment like making sure not to sleep on your stomach, not scrubbing the eye area clean and going to a professional to have them removed. Lash serums? They take 12-16 weeks to yield the dramatic lengths and fullness we want. Well, ladies, say goodbye to falsies and messy adhesives and say hello to DivaDerme Lash Extender (P1,495) and Mascara Diva (P995).

This lash extender is making quite a buzz because it claims to create longer, fuller, stronger lashes. With just a stroke of the brush, you can achieve luscious picture-perfect eyelashes. Just brush on the lash extension that adds hundreds of tiny natural lash fibers enriched with panthenol. Apply this in between coats of DivaDerme Mascara Diva for fabulous results. Perfect for those who are in the zero- to 12-month waiting period of using lash growth serums or those who decide to not use them at all but want “Rapunzel” lashes on demand. Remove as you would waterproof mascara, with cleansing oil or a dedicated eye makeup remover. Take advantage of the sale at Landmark until October 31 where you get the mascara for free when you buy DivaDerme Lash Extender.
