EYLURE - FALSE LASHES

These lashes are absolutely brilliant!

I've been searching for the perfect pair of false lashes for a while now, looking for something that appeared natural and had an ultra thin band. After searching high and low for a pair of lashes that I was beginning to think I had only seen in my dreams,  I finally found my holy grail during a frantic 'What am I going to do without my eyelash extensions?!' search.

Please meet my new friend, Eylure.

'Eylure is the world's favourite eyelash brand'.

Packaging

The bright, bold packaging was what drew my attention to these lashes initially. That pop of colour does wonders when product placement in stores is poor. My eyes were drawn right too them, despite being hidden away on a bare shelf in one of my local Priceline stores. Thank goodness for eye-catching packaging!

User Friendly & Comfort

I found these particular lashes really easy to use. Because of the small, almost invisible band, I was able to apply them in one go without needing to fiddle around with placement. If you're someone that struggles with applying these lashes then I highly recommend the Eylure Naturals in number 20.

Not only that, I only needed the tiniest amount of eyeliner to cover up where I had placed the band. Truth be told, the band is so tiny I could have probably gotten away without wearing any eyeliner as cover-up.

As for comfort? Once attached I couldn't feel these lashes at all. When I usually wear false eyelashes, every blink is an annoyance. Regular false lashes feel extremely heavy and scratchy to me. So in comparison, these lashes were like a dream come true.

Affordability & Retailers

Eylure lashes retail for around $12.00 AUD and can be purchased from you local Priceline or online here.

Final Verdict

I wish I had found these lashes sooner. They are everything that I had been looking for and more. Now that I've found these wonderful lashes I feel a lot more comfortable about giving my natural lashes a break from extensions.

NAPOLEON PERDIS - FALSE LASHES

Oh la la. Have you ever seen such pretty lashes?

Pictured: 'The Nude Lash'

My false lash search finally took me to Napoleon Perdis. I've been on the hunt for a pair of falsies that have a super thin band, to the extent that the band is practical invisible, and these lashes met that criteria. It was pretty much love at first sight. 

Fine lashes protrude from the band, starting small and petite but becoming voluptuous and luscious as the band sweeps out towards the outer corners. I like to think of these lashes as being naturally glamorous, as we all have a girlfriend who has amazing natural lashes like these falsie. Being able to purchase your own is a  way to share the lash love around (after all, not all of us were born with amazing lashes).

'Fluttery will get you everywhere!'

Packaging

The cardboard packaging, pictured above, consists of vertical black and grey stripes with the company name printed in gold. On the stand it was pretty eye-catching and drew me in instantly. 

The lashes are conformed and gently stuck to an eyelid mould, allowing all passersby to catch a peek at how long and luscious these falsies are.

User Friendly & Comfort

First off, let me start by telling you that as soon as you get home you'll need to give these lashes a chop. The lash band is probably one of the longest bands that I have ever encountered. Prior to cutting off any length, hold your lashes up to your lash line and find out where you would normally apply your falsies. Take note of how much excess lash there is and where it should end. Now your ready to chop.

What I really like about these lashes is how light they are. I kid you not when I say that these lashes are as light as a feather. God bless tiny lash bands! Prior to application, these babies were so light between my fingers that I had to double-check that they hadn't fallen out of my grasp! Even once they were applied I couldn't feel them on my lashes. Fabulous!

Again, with my applicator these lashes were pretty each to apply however I did struggle with how fragile they are. I ended up needing to be really gentle with this set as I could see the lashes starting to bend out of shape when I treated them like a regular pair of falsies. Be really gentle with this set girls! I'm attributing the lashes fragile nature to the fact that they are made out of both natural and synthetic hairs.

I found these lashes extremely difficult to clean-up after one day of wear. Trying to peel off the excess glue and clean away any mascara and eyeliner was a difficult process due to the fragile nature of these babes.

Affordability & Retailers

These beauties retail for $20.00 AUD, which is more than what I usually spend on falsies but I figured you only live once! You can purchase your own pair directly from Napoleon Perdis.

Final Verdict

The quality and feel of these lashes is something that every girl should experience in her lifetime. Will I be buying several pairs? No. I feel these lashes are more of a treat and something to be worn on a special occasion due to their longevity.
