These lashes are perfect for a cute casual look. You don’t actually need to put lashes over the whole eye to get an adorable effect, these are perfect for a cat-flick at the side! Ok so here is how to do it ^_^ These are my lashes to start with, I’ve applied some mascara and given them a little bit of a curl.
Before: cute and casual look.
This is the packet they come it, it’s a step up from 90% of other lashes available in Australia because the little tray they come in actually has a lid. I hate when you get lashes and they just come in the tray, it makes them useless for storage! This however is good and you get a lot of them in a pack so they last a while especially if you reuse them.
So to begin with get one of the little bunches.
And some scissors.
And cut the tip of the bunch on an angle. You need to do 2 of these (one for each eye so cut them in opposite directions). This is the part that will gradiat to the longest lashes on the ends. If you don’t have one of these it will look like you’ve just one a random flick on the edge.
This is what they should look like.
Now grab your lash glue. I would not recommend this brand unless you are allergic to others like me.
Add a tiny bit of glue to the base of the bunch. Depending on the glue you’re using you will probably need to wait for it to get tacky before applying.
Ok now apply it to you lash line, you should apply it a couple of mm before the end of your lashes. Once you apply the bunch, give it a little pinch to make sure it’s in line with your natural lashes.
Here is a photo of it applied to my lashes, you can barely see it because the shape blends into the length of my natural lashes. In the next photo I’ve highlighted where it it.
This is where it is placed, if you compare the below and above photos you’ll be able to see exactly what I mean and the angle of the cut.
This is how it looks when my eyes are open, it’s much easier to see here but you can still see how it blends.
And here it’s highlighted…
Ok! Now you want to get 2 more bunches per eye. These ones should be full sized. Do them one at a time so you have lots of control over the placement. Add the glue!
And this time we’re going to place this bunch next to the one we just did on the outside side (closer to the corner of the eye). You should make sure that the last one sits on the very edge of your lash line. By the time you’re finished you should have 3 bunches on each eye (2 full ones and 1 angled one).
Once you’ve placed them if you want you can add another coat of mascara to make all the lashes the same thickness or even curl them again. One other tip I have is that if you find they are sticking up at a different angle than your natural lashes, give them a coat of mascara and pinch them together with your natural lashes gently. The mascara will act like a light glue!
So this is what you should end up with:
And here is where the lashes are:
With eyes closed you can really see the difference:
And highlighted!
So there you go! This look is great as an everyday look because it’s not too heavy but the flick at the end is super cute. Now as for a review of the actual lashes I found them to be really good. I was really surprised at how durable they were, I’ve used the same 6 for this look several times. The best thing that I found was that they were comfortable enough to sleep in… probably not something I need to worry about every day but great when you’re on a 7hr plane trip! I was worried that because they weren’t held on by much glue that they would be hard to keep on but I haven’t lost one so far. You can get them from Priceline, Kmart and other beauty supply stores for around AU$7.95 which is an average price for lashes here in Aus. I really like them and I’ll be buying them again… though with this many in a tray I probably won’t need to for a long time hahaha! Have you ever tried the 1000 hour individual eyelashes? |
great review!!! and it looks much better than when i try.
Thank you! Oh it’s just takes a bit of practice, if you can’t get them in the right spots try some tweezers for application :D Good luck!
cool! i never understood how to use false lashies all these while.. thx for the tutorial! :D
No worries :D I’ll do a tutorial on the full lashes one day too ^_^ It takes some practice but they look cute!
Wow! That looks so natural, yet so effective! Between reading your blog and SKM’s, I keep swearing one day I will give the falsies a go. Whereabouts do you buy that allergy-free glue?
That’s why I love these little ones, they actually look natural and they’re not completely in you face. Don’t get me wrong I’ll never give up the others but these are awesome for days when you just can’t be bothered XD I thought that you could only get the allergy free glue at a tiny make up store on the Gold Coast but the other day I saw it at a random Chemist so I’d suggest checking Chemists. It comes in a little black box with white writing. I’ll let you know if I find it anywhere else! If not I’d be happy to do a shopping service thing for you and mail you some :) Btw I just got asked to try out some paraben free moisturizer so I’ll let you know how that goes too!
Hi Violet! Thank you so much for Blingy Bill, he’s super cute!
Heehee anytime Jess ^_^ Glad you like him! I’ve still got to find a nice place to keep him!
Wow Violet I really like these false eyelashes. They look so natural. Thank you for the review. I bought a full pair many months ago but have no idea how to put them on. I’ll give it a try during the holidays;)
No worries ^_^ These little ones are great when you want a more natural look. If you like I’ll do a tutorial on how to apply a full set as well, they can be pretty tricky! :)
super kawaii look ^^
Aww thanks Naka!
your a lil’ ugly to pull an asian look..sorry but that’s the truth
oh n’ don’t worry i ain’t actually ugly like you coz i’m one of those cute ulzzang girls n’ yes IAM asian (Korean) ^-^
Hi “Kate/Leen/QiQi/Amber/Kathy/Linn”!
Thanks for commenting so many times! As the email address you used for each of your comments is the same, you all posted from the same IP address and have the same grammar/spelling issues I’m going to go ahead and make a small leap and say you are probably the same person. As such I will be copy-pasting this reply to each of the comments you have left here.
Generally speaking I really appreciate feedback on my website and things that I am doing, in this case let me address some of the issues you have mentioned…
OMG stop being asian u wannabe-
You couldn’t be more wrong on this one. I most definitely do not want to be Asian. I am 100% happy with the way that I look and while I admire other nationalities, the sense of culture they inspire, the products they create and the different things available to them, I am also 100% happy with being a caucasian Australian. I am personally inspired by the trips I have taken to both Singapore and Japan but equally so I am inspired by the trips I have taken to Europe and the UK. As James is a large influence in my life, his love of American 50′s kitsch and rockabilly is very influential in my style choices.
u look 40 y/o dressed as a little girl LMAO! only asians can pull this look or other caucasian girls who r prettier than u
Indeed there are thousands of girls who are prettier than me in the world. I personally couldn’t care less. The second you start measuring yourself against other people is the second you doom yourself to a life of unhappiness. I cannot change the way that I look and if I look older than I am there is not very much I can do about that. We play the cards we are dealt with, that’s life. As such I work with the canvas I am given and do my best with the limited resources I have. I don’t care what other girls look like… I’m not aiming for any one specific fashion or look… I’m just aiming to be me. There isn’t anyone in the world who can be me better than I can.
This all seems to bother you a lot more than it does me so perhaps you should exercise your right not to visit my website if you find me so unappealing?
I should let you know that I have your IP address so if you feel the need to be this hateful at anything in the future please be sure to stay within the bounds of the law. As I understand it cyber bullying is taken quite seriously in the country we both live in.You have the right to your opinion but I also have the right not to feel threatened or uncomfortable on my own website. I thought about blocking you from accessing my blog but by clicking here as often as you do (yes I can track that) and lingering around the place you are actually contributing to my statistics and income from advertising revenue. Thanks for that, I really appreciate it :D
I think you might want to look at whether commenting this many times is a constructive way to get your message across or just a way to kill time for you. If it is the latter then I can think of many ways in which you could spend your time better. Please try anything from the following list of suggestions:
-Volunteering for a charity
-Finding a hobby, for example model air craft building
-Reading a book
-Continuing your studies, possibly concentrating on spelling and grammar
-Working on your own look or looking at the kind of person you are on the inside rather than focusing on those around you
Again I appreciate you taking the time to leave so many comments for me, I hope you find something to help you with whatever it is you are looking for. Have a great day!
<3 Violet
To Violet: wow you repeat from what you said before (like the one from the shower cap tutorial) just because you’re pathetic at dissing or back-talking to the other girls or you don’t know what else to say to them LOL it sux to be you :) and it’s funny that you pretend not to get upset at this too xD i bet you cry in the corner of your bedroom holding your stuff toys like a 5 year old..GROW UP BITCH!
Dear “Kate/Leen/QiQi/Amber/Kathy/Linn/Bronte/Rachel”,
Thanks for commenting again and for providing me with so much amusement! Please note that all of your comments and visits to this site have been recorded. I can see that you must feel really strongly about this to put so much effort into trying to make me cranky ^_^ It must take a lot of effort to remain that ignorant about how things like IP addresses work so you can pretend to be several different people.
For your convenience please find this simple explanation:
To answer your question… no I don’t cry in the corner of my bedroom from negative comments left on my website. I find it refreshing to hear different points of view. I most certainly don’t have such low self esteem that I need the approval of a random stranger on the internet XD That would be a little pathetic wouldn’t it? Clearly this conversation is upsetting one of us, it’s certainly not me though :)
As you still seem to have a lot of time on your hands I would definitely suggest you look more closely at the list of suggestions I made in my last reply. Perhaps if you decide to pursue your studies it would be a good idea to focus on reading comprehension subjects as well :)
I might also suggest that you spend time looking at yourself rather than those around you. A beautiful face really can’t hide an ugly soul. Perhaps you might even take your own advice and start growing up a little? You seem to have a problem with anger so perhaps you should take some positive steps towards dealing with that too. If I’m ever in Sydney again I would be more than happy to meet up and discuss whatever problems you have with me. In the mean time I hope you can find whatever it is you need.
Thanks for continue to support this website by visiting! Have a fantastic day ^_^
<3 Violet
Cool. I always wondered about this kind, but i’m probably never going to use them. I’m a dramatic girl, and I love the big demi lashes I already have.
Glad you found it informative ^_^
