REFY just launched its brand new Lash Sculpt (REFY)Celeb-loved beauty brand REFY has finally launched its hotly anticipated sculpting mascara. The , has been two years in the making, and is said to be unlike any mascara you’ve tried before.

However, even after one application I could see a difference in the lift of my lashes. I also love that it’s not a mascara as I always opt for a natural finish makeup look, and this is the perfect balance between a long-lasting lift that shapes the lashes that also gives the illusion of a real lash. Not to mention the curve applicator makes it so easy to apply without smudging the product all over my eyelids. If you’re looking for an at-home DIY lash lift I’d definitely .”
