ELF: Dramatic Lash Kit Review

Today.... was a long-ass day. Originally I was working only four hours. Well, four hours turned into 9 and a half hours. All day long my eyelashes were bothering me, which leads me into why I'm doing this review.

Eyes Lips Face Dramatic Eyelash Kit: The REVIEW 0.o



I purchased three pairs of these when I made my last big purchase with ELF. I am a huge fan of *most of their products, and decided to buy some of these eyelashes to see how they stack up to my usual brand Ardell, which is more expensive.



The first thing I noticed (besides the cheap price) is just how *dramatic* they really looked in the box. The hairs are synthetic, which is cost effective but very fake looking. When I first peeled them off of the plastic thing, I found that the spine of the lash was very bendable (in other words, it took a little while to get them to curve naturally to my eye shape without them drooping). I didn't try the glue, I use DUO eyelash glue instead of the ones that come with the lashes, so I cannot vouch for the glue.

After an entire day of wearing these eyelashes, my eyes are slightly itchy, I don't know if it's because it's all synthetic material, or I just placed them poorly, but they are much more noticeable when I blink and when I wear for long periods, versus Ardells, which are completely unnoticeable.

All in all, I'd say if for a special occasion or holiday that you want really fake looking fake eyelashes, these are pretty good. For everyday use, I'd would opt for ELF's natural lash kit, which has more subtle eyelashes, or Ardell brand.


PS: Working retail is crazy. Those florescent lights do *something* to you after a few hours...
PPS: Anyone have any good book suggestions? Either a science fiction series or post-fiction a la Murakami? Or anything, really... I'm desperate for a good autumn read.

Time for Netflix and potato chips, I'm off tomorrow!
