Eyeko mascara with black magic wand is a popular cosmetic product that promises to give you bold and beautiful lashes. The mascara comes with a unique wand that is designed to lift, separate, and curl the lashes to create a dramatic and voluminous look. The main selling point of the Eyeko mascara is its black magic wand, which is specially molded to reach every lash, even the ones in the corners and inner corners of the eyes. The wand is curved, which helps to lift the lashes from the root, create a wide-eyed effect, and add more volume to your lashes. The formula of the mascara is also infused with nourishing ingredients, such as keratin and shea butter, which help to condition and strengthen the lashes. This means that while you are achieving a glamorous and intense look, you are also taking care of your lashes and promoting their health.

This means that while you are achieving a glamorous and intense look, you are also taking care of your lashes and promoting their health. One of the key features of the Eyeko mascara is its long-lasting formula. The mascara is smudge-proof and waterproof, which means that it will stay in place throughout the day without flaking or running.
Top Family Activities in Folly Beach, SC
Folly Beach, SC is a small town, 20 minutes from downtown Charleston. The area is known for its vibrant summer life and beautiful beach, but it’s not only for adults to enjoy! Folly Beach offers a variety of kid-friendly things to do for any family visiting.
The town has an eclectic atmosphere, making it fun and funky for families to take advantage of. I love sharing about my new home and am always excited to share interesting and beautiful places with the families I work with! So, here is my top list of kid-friendly things to do in Folly Beach, SC!
And to add, I’ve shared a few of my favorite activities in downtown Charleston, as well!
Family-Friendly Activities
in Folly Beach for Kids
If your family can enjoy and appreciate the outdoors, architecture, rich history, and beautiful scenery – Charleston and Folly Beach are absolute perfect places to visit with your little ones. The town of Folly Beach offers the best of both city-life and exploring while also providing the beach for playing in the sand and waves!
There are plenty of things to do with kids in Folly Beach, SC, and I’ve rounded up my top favorite activities to share with you for your next family vacation!
Some of the activities are free, while others may require you to purchase tickets.
1. DOLPHIN BOAT TOUR OF THE FOLLY RIVER AND MARSH
This is such a fun activity for kids of any age! I’ve done tours with two different companies that I can definitely recommend! The dolphin boat tours will take you through the Folly River and marshes, in search of the Atlantic bottlenose dolphins that live in the area year-round.
The captain of your tour will take you through the waters, explain about the ecosystem, and share their knowledge about the local history surrounding Folly Beach.
My two company recommendations are:
Fun facts about both companies:
When you book with Flipper Finders, their team is full of enthusiasm! This local company has a new boat to accommodate larger groups, and glowing reviews from past clients.
If you decide to book with Absolute Reel Screamer Charters, the knowledgeable Captain Gresh may even show the family how to catch shrimp if it’s that time of year!

2. SEARCHING FOR SHARK TEETH!
Another fun family activity is looking for shark teeth on Folly Beach! At low-tide, make sure to look down and see if you can find shark teeth, you might get lucky!
A few pointers on how to find them:
- The BEST time to search for shark teeth is during mid-tide, as it’s on its way to low-tide. The common misconception is to look just at low-tide.
- Shark teeth are heavier than shells so they don’t move as much when the wave rolls away.
- Make sure the kids don’t get discouraged! Some days there are more shark teeth than others!
I like to say, roll with the waves and make a fun game out of it!
And here’s a fun fact, shark teeth are actually shark fossils! Neat, right?
3. SURF LESSONS
Adventure, water sports, and getting active… I definitely recommend surf lessons for the kids while you’re in Folly Beach! The beach at Folly boasts great waves for beginner surfers to enjoy. If the kids aren’t into surfing, boogie boarding is another great option to choose from, which can be less intimidating.
Kids can learn from professional surf teachers who’ve trained all over the world and took part in surf competitions. There are a variety of options, and two places I can recommend for surf lessons…
Both surf schools offer individual and group lessons, with the option to choose a more beginner approach or advanced coaching.
4. PIZZA TO GO FROM WOODY’S
One of my favorite activities is staying in and ordering pizza to go from Woody’s Pizza.
There are plenty of pizza places, but Woody’s is one of the top local favorites in Folly Beach! They’re known for their large pizzas and breadsticks, so I highly encourage getting both.
This is a fun activity to do when everyone’s tired, possibly sunburnt, and want a casual night in. Woody’s Pizza delivers around Folly Beach, but if your family is willing to venture out, they also have a casual patio area to dine in that is children-friendly.
My favorite pizza from Woody’s is the Speciality Veggie Pizza. I’m also a fan of build-your-own, and including ham & pineapple!

Family-Friendly Activities in
downtown Charleston for Kids
Of course, if you’re in the Folly Beach area, a 20-minute drive to downtown Charleston is completely necessary! Charleston is known for its pastel-colored homes, southern hospitality, and rich history. To add to my list of top family activities in Folly Beach, SC I had to include some activities in downtown Charleston, which is only a short car ride away!
1. SOUTH CAROLINA AQUARIUM
If the kids are tired of the beach or you’re caught in rainy weather, the South Carolina Aquarium is a great alternative to spend the day learning and being active! The aquarium has a touch tank, exhibits highlighting Charleston’s marine habitats, and kid-friendly displays.
The building is two-stories and has a 385,000-gallon tank, with sea turtles, sharks, and daily dive shows! There is also a touch tank for sting rays on the first floor outdoor area – be sure not to miss this highlight of the aquarium.
Address: 100 Aquarium Wharf
Ticket prices: $22.95 (children), $29.95 (adult)
Hours: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Timed entries must be reserved in advance. (Required due to safety precautions limiting number of guests).

2. THE BATTERY AND WHITE POINT GARDENS
I can’t recommend enough to walk the Battery and White Point Gardens in Charleston, SC. This is a FREE activity that the whole family can enjoy!
The two areas are not only beautiful, they also are important areas to Charleston’s history. White Point Gardens is a small park/plaza at the tip of Charleston overlooking the Charleston Harbor. It’s primarily a residential area a few blocks away from the rest of the commercial district, so if you do plan to go with kids, make sure to plan ahead for bathroom breaks!
After walking through both of these scenic areas, finish off the walk with ice cream or gelato at one of the many delicious spots downtown. Two places I can definitely recommend are Belgian Gelato or Off-Track Ice Cream.
My go-to flavors are chocolate or pistachio. Off-Track Ice Cream also makes seasonal flavors and menu updates based on ingredients!

3. WATERFRONT PARK

The Charleston Waterfront Park is an ideal place to visit with children of any and all ages! The park has a paved pathway, stroller and bicycle friendly, where you can take a walk with the kids and enjoy the view, with ice cream, of course!
The Waterfront Park has picnic areas, people-watching, and a large cooling fountain young children can run and play in. If you continue along the pathway, you’ll find the famous Pineapple Fountain, where you can take family photos and selfies, and if you continue further, you’ll end up on Rainbow Row with the iconic pastel homes of Charleston, SC!
Bonus: Family photos with your kids!
As an extra bonus, another activity with your family is to take family photos in Folly Beach or downtown Charleston! Charleston or Folly Beach are amazing locations with different scenic areas for photos.
Taking the time to capture a special family vacation is like the icing on top of a very delicious scoop of ice cream and an excellent way to capture memories that are experiences.
Final Thoughts
Folly Beach, SC and downtown Charleston aren’t only for adults to indulge and enjoy, the area is diverse in activities and offers plenty of family-friendly experiences for kids of all ages!

This is especially important if you have oily eyelids or live in a humid climate. Although the mascara is advertised as being black magic, it is also available in different shades, such as brown and navy. This allows you to choose the color that best suits your preferences or complements your eye color. Overall, the Eyeko mascara with black magic wand is a highly recommended product for those who desire bold and beautiful lashes. Its unique wand, long-lasting formula, and nourishing ingredients make it a must-have for any makeup lover..
Reviews for "Get the Red Carpet Look with Eyeko Mascara's Black Magic Wand"
1. Emily - 2/5 - I was really excited to try the Eyeko mascara with the black magic wand because of all the hype it has received. However, I was quite disappointed with the results. The mascara clumped my lashes together and made them look spidery. It also didn't provide much length or volume, which is what I look for in a mascara. Additionally, the formula seemed to smudge and flake throughout the day, leaving me with raccoon eyes. Overall, I would not recommend this mascara.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - I tried the Eyeko mascara with the black magic wand and it was a complete letdown. The wand itself is small and flimsy, making it difficult to apply the mascara evenly and get to the smaller lashes. The formula was clumpy and transferred onto my eyelids, even after letting it dry for a few minutes. It also didn't do much in terms of adding volume or length to my lashes. I ended up looking like I had hardly any mascara on. I definitely won't be repurchasing this mascara.
3. Jessica - 2/5 - I have tried many different mascaras, but the Eyeko mascara with the black magic wand did not live up to my expectations. The wand itself is quite hard and doesn't seem to deposit much product onto the lashes. I had to go back several times to get any noticeable effect, and even then, it wasn't very impressive. The formula also took a while to dry, and I found that it smudged easily throughout the day. Overall, it didn't give me the desired results and I wouldn't recommend it.
