I think this is becoming a problem….
I have found my new obsession….FALSE LASHES! Actually I have pretty nice natural lashes so I never considered wearing the falsies until I started thinking about my wedding day makeup. You see I’m not too keen on waterproof mascara because it never seems to give me full look that I like, and it’s impossible to get off even with makeup remover. On my wedding day dramatic yet natural looking eyes are must. Thus let us begin the search for the perfect lashes.
First I tried these guys by Kiss (don’t remember the style #) but they were a little too heavy towards the outside. I have almond shaped eyed so they were a little too wingy. I still liked them but more for just going out than a special occasion like my wedding.
Next I went for the ARDELL 117’s. I liked these alot. I took this pic after a night out and they still looked pretty good even if it was 12:30 am.
Even though I liked them I wanted to look for something with a less defined line. LOL I know I’m a picky little princess sometimes. 🙂
I watched a few makeup tutorials on YouTube and a lot of the professionals seem to use MAC 36. I loved the look they gave once applied but I wasn’t going to drop $15.00 on these until I knew that they would look good on me. I googled their alternative and apparently the ARDEll Demi 120 lashes are pretty similar.
This afternoon I went to the to local beauty supply store and they were only $2.99 so I figured they were worth a shot. Then I sort of went on a lash buying binge.
In one of the lash tutorials I heard that there Ardell 103 lashes a are great for a dramatic night time look. But they are also short enough that they won’t achieve drag queen status.
These Almine number 4158 looked they would be good for a natural daytime look. Plus they were only $1.99! Being that they were so cheap it couldn’t hurt to buy just one more pair right? Haha, you see why I say this could be becoming a problem…..
One of my friends who is a makeup artist once said that the individual lashes look the most realistic. She said they take awhile to apply but I’m bored tonight so I think I’ll give it a shot. I’ll post a pic later and let you know how it turns out. Oh, and if you have a favorite lash leave a comment and let me know what it is!

December 18, 2011 at 9:08 pm (12 years ago)I’ve gone to a spa here that puts on the individual lashes and they’re FABULOUS. I LOVE getting them done. She charges $45 & then you go back about 2 weeks later or so & get a “touch up” & filled in for $10. She actually attaches them to your own lashes so they stay on until your lashes naturally fall out along the way, which is why you have to go back to get them touched up. It’s the most realistic look you can get and not that expensive. You can get them as thin or thick as you’d like… I love them!
