Kiss Ever EZ Lashes *Review*

The beautiful and generous Zoe from The London Lipgloss kindly sent me some KISS Ever EZ false eyelashes to try out which was impeccable timing as i had just killed off my pre-glued Eylure set the night before!

These lashes boast the 'Easy Place Strings' which claim to make application 5 times faster and easier.

I simply applied the glue to the lash band and left for about 1 minute so that the glue was tacky and the lashes were easily teased into place on my lashline. The strings were a nice little bonus feature that helped steady my application when first lining up the falsies into my desired position.

I then left for a further minute for the glue to dry properly and then went about removing the strings. I did find i had to tug a bit at the strings to remove them but this could be my poor glue applying skills sticking them to the lash band ...

... had to post this picture, i look like one of those bugs with the long antenna's! LOL.

I was sent style 07 which are gorgeous, full and fluttery - they are much more dramatic and prominent than my previous set of lashes but once on i didn't even notice the length and the finished look was exactly what i had hoped for :)

The KISS lashes lasted all night (i had them on for about 8 hours and the glue tube claims its stickiness will last up to 16 hours). I even had to give them a little pull to remove them from the inner corners!

One down side i did find with the KISS Ever EZ Lashes is that they were a little scratchy and made the corners of my eyes itch but in hindsight i think i will trim them down a smidge and see if this relieves the matter on my next usage.

Overall i was very impressed with the KISS false eyelashes and particularly the lasting power of the glue! I would definitely look to try out other styles of KISS lashes in the future :)

KISS Ever EZ Lashes are available to buy online in various outlets or in Boots stores across the UK. RRP: £6.50

Have you tried out the KISS Ever EZ lashes with the string application? What are your thoughts?

Finally mastered the art of false eyelashes ... *Eylure Review*

I am so jealous of the girlies out there who can just slap on the false eyelashes at the drop of a hat! You'll find me huddled around a selection of different mirrors with spidery lashes slipping and sliding across my face and only fixing to the middle of my lash line :(

I was despairing at my idiocy with fake eyelashes and after trying different types (and wasting many in a fit of rage blackouts) I went trotting along to Boots in a quest to conquer the art of full and fluttering eyelashes!

I was greeted with a wide selection - i have a nice big Boots local to me :) and was pleased to find Eylure lashes on offer (3 for 2) so picked up a great collection to start me off.

On Saturday we were having a birthday BBQ for the bf and then heading out to watch our friends band play so i decided this would be my ideal chance to try and pull off gorgeous glam lashes so without further a-do lets get on with the review ...

Eylure Ready to Wear lashes - 070:

I took the easy route and went for pre-glued lashes. I thought this would give me time to make sure they are securely fixed to my lashline and in the right position without having to fiddle around with glue and getting in a sticky-icky mess. This turned out to be a wise choice :)

The lashes were easy to apply and i didn't need to cut them down to size. Looking back now i would maybe trim them ever so slightly before my next wear but i mean taking off a minuscule amount!

 

I lined the false set of lashes up against my lashline and teased into place. I then applied a little pressure to the corners of the lashes for about 10 seconds with the handles from my tweezers to make sure they were on securely (i really didn't want to find spidery lashes in my burger or drink later in the day!)

And tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Kirsti can now wear false eyelashes :) :) i am so pleased and i think they looked fab!

next time i'll need to fill in my eyeliner a bit better but apart from that ....

They stayed on all day/night (roughly 12 hours) and didn't irritate my eyes at all. The only downside i encountered was that the inside corner of my left lash wasn't as sticky as the rest of the lashes so did come unstuck slightly but i just applied a bit of pressure with the tweezers again and all was fine :)

 

These lashes come with a spare glue strip so i can see these lasting me quite a while and the instruction and care leaflet is a great easy to follow guide.

Eylure lashes retail at around £5.19 (in Boots) and are currently on 3 for 2. I picked up another set from the 'Ready to Wear' pre-glued range (116) which are slightly more fuller and also a set of the Naturalites Natural Volume (020) which are nice and subtle.

Have you tried the Ready to Wear Eylure range? Are you a dab hand at falsies or totally incompetent like me?
