Ardell Demi Wispies

Ardell's Demi Wispies are some of the most popular falsies, at least according to reviews MUA. I completely understand the hype. These are so lovely! And pretty! I've never actually worn false strip lashes before, only individual ones from Misslyn, which were too short for me (number 2), so I've only worn them to make my lashes look thicker. I've tried the Essence ones for a minute, but I hated how fake they looked and they have been lying in my drawer untouched since. My natural lashes are quite long, so technically I don't need falsies, but I will admit that my vanity got the best of me.

They look like individual lashes on a clear strip. The lashes are different lengths and they flare out at the end. They are quite long, but it's still a suitable length for everyday wear, or if you're not so brave, you can wear them on special occasions. The band is so soft and if placed properly (not too close to the inner corner) you can't feel them at all on your eyes. They feel almost like natural lashes and are all in all very comfortable to wear. The size of them is perfect, which means I don't have to cut them and are so easy to apply. 

They're the perfect thickness and don't draw too much attention despite the length, actually they look almost natural, so the overall look is like you have nice wispy, long and fluttery lashes. My mother actually thought these were my real lashes for a moment. Compared to Eylure Katy Perry's 'Oh Honey' lashes, these don't have a black strip and my cousin commented that because of that it's not so apparent you're wearing falsies when you close your eyes.

I use Essence's Frame 4 Fame lash glue, which is ok, but the lashes start popping off on the edges after 8 hours. I should invest in Duo.

You can find pictures of my natural lashes in my mascara posts here for comparison. The lashes in the inner corner are the same length as my natural ones.

I've worn them four times so far and they still look like new, but I never put any mascara on them (I just put one coat of mascara on my natural lashes). I think I'll get many more uses out of them. I got mine from lookfantastic for about 6€, but you can get them cheaper on eBay and Cherryculture (but the shipping might cost you more). 

I really like these and I will repurchase them. If you're new to false lashes and you want something more natural, but still a bit dramatic, I can't recommend these enough.

Have a great day!

Katy Perry For Eylure False Lashes 'Oh Honey'

Quite some time ago, Katy Perry launched her own false lashes collection in collaboration with Eylure. There are four different lashes available and Oh, Honey look the prettiest in my opinion, because they slightly flare out in the outer corner, are moderately long and not too thick. These aren't mine, but my cousin's. She bought them for a special occasion and came to me to do her make up. These are nice to work with, the band is soft and they are very pliable. They were a bit too long, so I had to cut of the outer edge a bit. The glue works ok, but I never had Duo so I can't compare. 

Ok, now for a different pair of eyes for a change, here are my cousin's hazel eyes without makeup:

And with:

Because the lashes fan out towards the outer end, it elongates the eyes a little. The lashes look full and wispy, but not overly dramatic. Honestly, I would mind having a pair of these. As I said, I did the makeup. Obviously, I'm no makeup artist and I just did a simple look with Catrice Mr. Copper Field, Nyx eyeshadow in Black, L'Oreal Infailible in Endless Chocolate and Hourglass Beige. She doesn't let me get too crazy with the makeup, so this is sort of a follow-her-instructions look and she did her own mascara. Mascara is Essence get BIG lashes and foundation is Bourjois Flower Perfection. The pictures are a bit washed out, because I took them under artificial light (Phillips bulb cool daylight) since it was already dark outside. 

Slovene readers can get Katy's lashes in Interspar, she bought them in the one in Citypark for 8.85€ and I believe they sell all four (depends on the stock). Readers from other countries can get them on Asos, but I don't know where else are they sold.

Thanks for reading!
