If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably remember when I used to get lash extensions every month. I loved how they looked, but my natural lashes barely had a chance to exist underneath them.


As I’ve leaned more into natural beauty, I’ve been on a mission to find products that enhance what I already have instead of relying on extensions. After trying countless mascaras and lash serums, I finally found a combination that completely changed the game for my lashes.


I actually make my own lash serum using just a few ingredients. I’ve included the full serum recipe and links to everything I use at the bottom of this post incase you’d like to recreate it yourself.


Because I’m always a girls’ girl, I felt the need to share. 🫶🏼


My DIY Lash Serum


Ingredients

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• 1 tbsp castor oil

• 4–5 drops vitamin E oil


I pour everything into a small pink lash serum tube and apply one tiny drop to my lashes every night before bed. A little goes a long way!


I started noticing a difference after about a month, but consistency is truly the key. The longer I’ve used it, the fuller, healthier, and stronger my lashes have become.


If you’re patient and stick with it, it’s absolutely worth it.




Now for the mascara…


Maybelline Colossal Mascara - Maybeline Bubble Mascara Link


This isn’t one of those products that’s just “good.” It’s become an absolute forever product.



My Lash Trick


Instead of immediately pulling the wand straight up, I start at the outer lashes and gently pull outward in the natural direction they grow before lifting upward. It gives more lift, separation, and length while keeping everything looking soft and fluttery.


This little technique makes such a difference.


If you’re trying to grow your natural lashes or you’re taking a break from extensions, this duo has been such a game changer for me. It’s one of those combinations I genuinely recommend because it’s become part of my everyday routine and I love sharing products that I actually use.
