Cluster Eyelash Extensions
I have heard mixed reviews about cluster eyelashes, so I have been meaning to have a go myself. I have stuck with the Ardell glue as this is one of the brands that I prefer for strip lashes. I have tried the Ardell cluster lashes before and have been impressed. I actually found these lashes on Ali Express and for price I have been very impressed! The brand is Nesura. They have various styles and lengths available.
I am not quite brave enough to purchase the glue from there I would rather stick to a brand that I know. But I am more than happy with the lashes themselves. I live that I can customise the look as they are individual. They definitely take longer to apply but I actually find the process a lot easier and there are no bands that keep popping up, which seems to be the problem I have with strip lashes. These are a mix of 8 - 10 cm lashes, starting with the shortest at the inner corner and working out.
This was the glue that I used it seems to do the job and doesn't irritate my eyes at all
Here are the lashes that I used. I had a look around trying to fins some without a knot at the base as this was causing me a problem when I was trying to attach them in the past. I think that it makes it really noticeable without eyeliner.
I have actually ordered some more but they are smaller clumps they have 6 strands per piece rather than the 10 on these I am hoping that this will give me a more natural look and mean that they are more flexible as to where I apply them along the lash line.

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
I have always loved experimenting with False eyelashes there have been many brands that I have tried some working for me better than others!
My long time favourite has been Red Cherry, I have been interested in finding a brand to rival them. When Threads offered me theirs to try I was a little excited to say the least!
I have had these lashes a while now, there are 9 in the collection and they very kindly sent me all 9 to have a play with
The first pair are Angel Eyes these I would say these are a more dramatic look they are different lengths, these are brilliant for an evening look.
The Emiloo lashes are probably the fullest pair in the collection they are very dramatic indeed, they are still comfy to wear, something which I have found to be an issue with some brands when they are a really full looking lash. I did have to trim these down to size a little as they were a bit too full across my whole eye.
Next are Be-Bop these are probably the ones that I have worn the most so far these are shown in the image below I feel that these are one of the most natural and easiest to wear more often. I wore these out to lunch and they were comfy and didn't budge
Rock Chic, these are a very natual looking pair of lashes, they are quite thin, making them perfect for day to day wear. The individual lashes are crisscrossed again, I think this is a great look for creating volume without it looking to full on.
Vavavoom. These lashes are also shown below these are also fairly natural looking, they are a bit longer than the Be-Bop lashes. I love how the lashes cross over each other, I think this gives them a really unique look.
The Charleston Lashes are probably the last pair I would describe as been natural looking for a daytime look.
Again these were very comfortable to wear. What I like about this set is that they are alternative lengths which really helps make them appear fluttery, which I love.
Next up Celestrial, these are a more natural look for the center of the eye then get a lot longer towards the outer corners, they are also thicker towards the edge. These are really good for making a cat eye effect.
Red Cherri, these are quite a voluminous lash, although the ends are more wispy. I would say these are somewhere in-between been natural looking and a full on lash look. These were the perfect length for me they didn't need trimming at all
The last pair are Sex Kitten. The again are a fuller looking lash where the ends are different lengths which I love, they to are longer at the outside corners making them look very fluttery.
Each pair comes individually boxed and with its own small tube of glue. To open it you have to twist the end off which I thought meant that I would not be able to reseal it and use it again, but this was not the case. You can turn the lid around and replace the lid the other way meaning you can have multiple uses out of the glue. The glue does have a perlecent blue sheen to it which I did find a bit strange. The glue does dry clear and is very strong an didn't irritate my eyes.
So far the most I have wore a pair is 4 times and they still look as good as new I think that as long as you take the time to take care of them after they have been worn. I use m Clinique makeup remover this seems to do a great job of dissolving the glue. I think most damage can be done in picking the glue off. I also find if you do not remove the glue the band becomes to stiff and they are not as comfortable for the next wear, this is the same for any false lashes I have wore!
Overall I would really recommend these lashes I cannot fault them
