Happy Thursday,

I can´t remember being more tired than today, ever. Emilia doesn´t sleep well these days. I think it must be a sleep regression or her next leap or another tooth or everything together. Looking back at these pictures I can´t believe how awake and fit I was this day.

Using fake lashes mostly requires a lash curler to make them look good and blend them in with your own lashes so after using my drug store lash curler for years (it was 4 bucks and holds up really well) I decided it was time to invest in a better piece. After reading Christina´s (from Fashion and Frills) lash post years ago I remined myself of the brand Kevin Aucoin and ordered one. 

To be honest I didn´t understand the rave about it at first but after the first time I used it I completely understood (also why it´s sold out most of the time). Let me tell you, if you are only sporadically using a lash curler this post probably won´t be for you cause the cheap ones do the job as well but if you are searching for some luxury this one will absolutely meet your needs.

The Kevin Aucoin lash curler is made of super light material and it is so smooth to use. You can definitely feel the better quality not only by holding it but also by using it.

In comparison I would say go for the premium version as 22 Euro aren´t that much and if you are using the lash curler daily whether for your own lashes or fake lashes it is definitely the better choice. 

Plus this would make an awesome stocking stuffer for a beauty loving gal.

Happy Monday you guys,

it is a very hard one today. Emilia hardly slept stretches of an hour last night so I am definitely very tired and only coffee and eye patches will get me through the day but somehow it is very fitting for this post because what to do when your eyes are so small from being awake ? I mean besides take a nap! Add a pair of big impressive lucious lashes and curl them up and suddenly you look wide awake although you are sleeping on the inside.

Wearing fake lashes has become a huge part of my make-up routine (not only because I am tired more often but also because I love how it looks and how quick it is done) and I have tried a ton of different styles over the years but always came back to my favorites. 

The best lash glue

Today I am sharing all about my favorite lashes, the brand, the cost, the size and anything else worth mentioning but first we gonna talk about the lash glue I am using.

The brand is called Fing´rs and they went out of business a few years ago. I have purchased the last ones in every drug store I found some and also the very last one from amazon. You could say I had quite the impressive stock but all good things must come to an end and so has my favorite glue and might I add that this is the best lash glue ever. Period.

I tried some different glues but ended up liking none of them. Whether they had a terrible chemical smell or my lashes started to come off on the edges and that is not very practical when you are out and about. At some point I became panic that I had to give up my beloved lashes. That was the point were I decided to frisk every last corner in the world wide web to get my former glue and after several disappointments I found an online shop in the UK who still carries the Fing´rs lash glue and I ordered the maximum amount of it. Yes it is this good and I am not the only crazy person who thinks this. In several online forums it is discussed as the best glue EVER. 

Lash glues I didn´t like, the Duo eyeslash adhessive – might be a good glue but the smell is unbearable. The Red Cherry lash glue – isn´t holding up very well so you will definitely loose one of your lashes after some time. The Ardell glue that come with the package – not vey good to apply so it smudges out on everyside and looks horrible.

Favorite Fake Lashes Part 1

Red Cherry – style Primrose

Price: 4,50 Euro

all human hair, clear silicone band, thick and long lashes that definitely fill up your own lashes and look great, I use them for everyday but they would also be great for events and evening outings, one of my two most used styles

Red Cherry – style Harley

Price: 4,50 Euro / available as one pair or a package of four pairs (10 Euro)

all human hair, clear silcone band, very soft to apply, another one of my favorites, they are long and thick and look great, not subtle at all so if you don´t like your lashes to long I would recommend them for events or evenings out

Kiss – style Sultry_a

Price: about 4 Euro

clear silicone band, they are really extra and I love it, very thick and lucious long, add the sazz to your eyes, super light weight and soft, reusable, tapered end for a better fit

Kiss – style Chic

very much like the Dolce style from Red Cherry, glue is included but not very good, clear silicone band, reusable, tapered end for better fit

Ardell Naturals – style Demi Black 120

very natural, litghtweight, reusable, clear silicone band, deep black color, great for everyday use

Red Cherry – Style Dolce

Price: 5,50 Euro
