All Things Lashes

If you didn't know, lashes are a must for me! They make any eye look 100% more...how do I put it? Neat? Put together? But I swear by applying lashes because they also hide away the mess you've made underneath, if your a non-expert like me. So these lashes that Threads Beauty sent me, so kindly, obviously got me excited.

These are the Threads Beauty Lashes in 'Vava Voom' which are quite a natural pair that would be great for everyday use for me personally. And 'Red Cherri' are more bold and dramatic which I'd probably wear on a special occasion.
Each pair comes with a small tube of adhesive which dried clear (the regular glue that usually comes with false lashes)

                                                                        £9.00 For Each Pair

*If you cannot tell, I've actually used these in the past hence the dirty lash band and I obviously forgot to take a photo beforehand because that's just what I'm like. But these were effortlessly easy to apply because of the thicker lash band which I personally love because I'm not at all amazing at applying falsies, they didn't look too 'fake' because my makeup was quite heavy as well so I wouldn't recommend wearing the 'Red Cherri' ones on their own I guess. But that's totally your choice if you do.

They also have so many styles to choose from! If I was being extra critical I'd say that the packaging isn't the best, its not very secure however, it isn't a big deal.

Companion Lash Glue $10/£7.75

I love to have a good lash adhesive since I'm not an expert when it comes to lashes, so this just makes applying lashes that extra easier.
I have been using this Esqido Lash Adhesive for quite awhile now and I'm honestly in love. Its a latex-free and invisible glue. However I do still cover the lash band with liquid eyeliner because it leaves a white shiny finish. The applicator is so thin and easy to use so you don't use too much or too less. It takes at the most, a minute to go tacky but this does not make your lashes come of at all. Also the packaging is so classy, it has a ROSE-GOLD top, who doesn't love classy packaging? Esqido also sell lashes so go check em out :)

Are you a falsie kinda gal or do you prefer not to wear them? If so what's your favourite false lashes? I've been loving the Dodo Lashes in D105 as well as the Red Cherri ones I've mentioned above x

  8. These are gorgeous! I love false lashes on other people but I can never get the hang of applying them myself. Whenever I get my makeup done though, they're the first thing I ask for haha! I should probably learn to do it myself.

  9. I'm definitely a lash-type of girl BUT, I struggle with putting on lashes. LOL One eye is usually way better than the other - funny thing is, I can put them on other people with no problem... with myself - the complete opposite. I keep telling myself that I'll sit down one day and just try over & over.

    It hasn't happened yet. One day... one day it will!

    Loved the post and thanks for the recommendations, especially about using a better adhesive - I think that's something I should look into.

  10. I only wear false lashes for fancy events - like my wedding - and always have stuck to MAC products. I really should play around a bit and experiment!

  15. I am always a bit iffy about false eyelashes - I either love how they look or hate it! These look gorgeous though, I really love the more natural looking pair! You have a lovely little blog here by the way, well done on all your hard work with it! x

  19. I've only ever worn lashes a few times at ballet shows and at musical theatre shows so I'm not an expert but these look really nice! I totally agree with you, they hide any mistakes you make with eyeshadow and definitely make a look more put together

  20. I have worn them once and I actually loved them - but it was for a night out and I'd feel weird wearing them at other times I guess.
    I love that these have a thicker band.

  24. It's only recently that I've started using falsies so I'm always on the lookout for new sets to try. Love the look of these, especially the Va Va Voom pair! Once you start to wear falsies you can never imagine a look without them!

    1. You should definitely try more natural ones first and then see how you like dramatic! They really do make an eye look better.
