Ardell Individual Lashes
I have been interested in individual eyelash extensions for a while, day to day I generally wear mascara and save my false lashes for special occasions, mainly as I do have a hard time applying them and have an issue with them staying in place all evening.
I used the Ardell Lashtight glue in clear with these lashes. I feel that it did the job well, it does dry quickly so you have to work fast to get them into position. It does also dry very hard so I found that it was uncomfortable if applied to near eyelids. I did like the fact that I can wake up with lashes, I know that is lazy but I'm all for those few more minutes in bed in the morning.
It took me about 10 minutes to do both eyes this time. The lashes went on easily, the glue was really good and blended super well with my lashes. They looked more natural and felt comfortable on too. This was my second time using these, I think that I have found the knack of applying them now, for me they need to be close to the eyelid but not touching as this is what made them feel irritating for me. My first set lasted almost 2 weeks which I am happy with, I did need to do a couple of touch ups in that time but generally I was impressed. I used a spoolie brush to brush them out as some mornings if I had slept on them they were pointing in some strange directions.
I was impressed at how comfortable they felt as some strip lashes I find can feel a bit heavy and irritating. I like how I can apply as many as I like until I have the look I want. I think the more that you have on the heavier they will feel but I was happy with the amount that I have used and the look that it gave. This is only using the medium length lashes. I have ordered some long ones, I would like to give these a try on the outer corners, I will give these a go next time.

I am looking forward to trying the longer ones, I think I will be getting on with these with a little more practice, but so far i'm impressed.

Threads Beauty Lashes Makeup Look
I have always loved my red cherry lashes these are what I have been used to and stuck with for quiet a while now. I was keen to try these Theads Beauty lashes as I prefer them to have a thinner band that is easier to bed and fits more comfortably across my eye. These are as comfortable as the Red Cherry lashes which is great
The lashes I used to create this look were the be-bop lashes. They have really cool names.
I started by priming my eyes with my Collection concealer and used my Naked Smokey eye pallet starting from a light shade in the inner corner slowly getting darker towards the outer corner and into my cut crease. I used Mac reflects gold glitter over the centre of my eyelid and lined with my Essence felt eyeliner.
There is glue supplied with these lashes it had a bluish tint to it which I did find a bit strange but it actually made it a lot easier to see where I had applied it it has a kind of pearlescent sheen to it but it dried completely clear. I was a bit worried when I opened it as I had to snap the lid off to open it so I wasnt sure how i was going to reuse it! But then I saw that you can turn the lid around and it was in fact reseable. 😃 I wore these on a night out and I didn't take them off until the early hours and they didn't budge there was no edges curling up which is brilliant.
I was able to remove the lashes with my Clinique makeup remover which is what I would normally use to remove my false eyelashes. I was able to clean up the eyelashes and I am defiantly able to wear these again.
I am excited to try the rest of the range of these lashes as they all look lovely. I normally go for ones that are more natural looking I don't like any that look too dense or overly long but I think the whole collection of these is very wearable
