008: elf natural lash review & dress up!

Here's another lash review, as promised~ I probably review the last one tomorrow or so, haha. I really should have done all three in one post. :P

As you can see, yesterday I dyed the blonde of my hair blue! Woooohoooo~ It turned out a lot lighter and vibrant than I expected, even after mixing in a bit of black.

I really like the elf natural lashes! As these ones are a lot wispy and lighter than the dramatic lashes, I can definitely see myself using these often for sweet and simple daily looks. They blend in very well with my lashes and look very natural as they're named~ I also found that the natural lashes didn't feel as plastic-y as I did with the dramatic lashes. The band on these lashes are also really thin and flexible, which is good for clean and natural looks.

Additional face shot :P

As you can see, they add just an extra bit of attention to a look without being too overwhelming. These are probably something you can get away with a very light liner and minimal make, but still want a bright look~

I also played around a bit with different outfit coordinates. I always find it fun and interesting coming up with new coordinates when I get bored. Even from just changing socks, a coordinate can feel like a really different look.

Hopefully tomorrow, I will be posting a tutorial for applying false lashes. Look forward to it~

Goodnight, sweeties~ (●3●)<3

006: elf dramatic lash review

So, I tried out the elf dramatic lash today. I was going to review all three dollar store lashes today, but I kept getting kicked out of the washroom by my bro when I tried to take pictures~ haha. I have yet to find a suitable place to take pictures and the like in my house, but that's okay. Onto the lashes!

This is the look I did today

Last night I figured out how to put on full lashes easily after about 4 failed attempts. I used the elf dramatic lashes with these. They're obviously more full than the natural lash. They're definitely more dramatic in looks than I'm used to! I have a rather conservative family, so I usually do really simple make up.

Close up of the lashes

I'm quite neutral about how I feel about these lashes. However, seeing as I picked these up at the dollar store, they're a lot better than I expected. I find them just a bit plastic-y looking and feeling by themselves, but once you put them on they don't look like it. They blend in fairly well with my short lashes! The band is really thin and flexible. It's good so you can tuck them really close to your lash line, but if you're new to putting on lashes these might not be ideal. I find it's a bit easier to put on false lashes with bands that have a little more weight to them.

Here's a few more view of my hair in case you were interested. The little monster in my hair is a button I got from a friend. Also.check out my octopus ring! I lo~ove it. I got it during FanExpo from an AA vendor. It's band is adjustable which means it was able to fit my small fingers~ The only issues I have is that is has a tendency to catch on wires and things like that because of its style, and that the band sometimes pinches. Still, it's such an interesting piece! One of my favourite rings I own~

<wink>

Peace out, guys! I'm off to watch Merlin~
