A few months ago, the lovely Jenny from falseeyelashes.co.uk got in contact to see if I wanted to try out a selection of their lashes and glues for my blog.

Seeing as I love long false lashes, but am not keen on having them all the time ( I find I want to pull them off) glue on strip lashes work great for me.

I had a couple of sets from them and they were fabulous. You can catch up on the review here.

So, when Jenny got in touch again before Easter to ask if I needed any lashes for the Easter break, of course I said yes!

Blogger Mail

Within a day or two, a package arrived on the doorstep. Inside was 3 packages of lashes, glue and a cheeky little discount voucher for my readers. Coupled with a lovely handwritten note from Jenny, I couldn’t wait to give them a go.

This time, I had been sent two pairs of Red Cherry Human Hair Eyelashes; Marlow and Savana, One pair of Ardell Professional Double Up lashes no 207. Also in the pack was a box of Eyelure lashfix glue.

What a Haul!

They all looked great and I was keen to wear them over the Easter break.

Such a lovely note

This was where it all came a bit of a cropper. Or rather I did!

The early hours of Easter Sunday I managed to fall over a extension cable reel. Landing on the reel I managed to damage myself quite comprehensively.

Bruised brow bone

When I woke up later that morning, I found that I had scraped the bridge of my nose, leaving a big scab. I had a dark blue bruise on my brow bone. My left wrist was swollen and heavily bruised. What a mess.

Ouch!

The worst was still to come; when I tried to get out of bed, my knee buckled underneath me. It was heavily swollen and bruised and extremely painful.

Badly Bruised

Oh dear!

Getting up, I had a look in the mirror and found that all the beautiful lashes in the World wouldn’t look good on my battered face.

I dropped Jenny a line with the information that I was a bit of a wreck and if she was happy, I would keep them until the May Bank Holiday. Jenny was more than happy with this and it gave me a chance to let my face heal.

Money off? Bonus!

So this previous weekend the whole family were due to meet up at an Auntie and Uncles house for  a get together. Perfect chance to get dolled up a bit and try the new lashes out.

Most of the makeup on

I decided to choose Savana as they had a great full look but not too over the top for a daytime event.

I put on a thin layer of the eyelure glue and left it 30 seconds to get tacky before attaching to my eyelid.

Now, I am the first to admit to being pretty crap at this.

What a great selection

I either get them on first time, or I mess it up totally.

Of course, as I was on a deadline with a two hour drive to the party so I had to do it on the first shot. Yeah, right.

I tried to put the right lash on first. It went on and I thought it looked good. I put the left on and it was absolutely perfect.

One on….

I went back to the right to check it and found out that half of it was now hanging off. I added a bit more glue and pressed it down.

It came right back off.

I decided to start again. Using a wet wipe I took off the glue that had dried, reapplied a thin layer and left it for the 30 seconds.

Ta-Dah!

This time it went on perfectly and I was ready to go.

Perfect lashes

We had a wonderful time at the Aunties house; much alcohol and food was shared and thankfully the weather was good so we could sit in the garden.

All ready to go

After several hour my lashes were still on and it was time to make a move and start the 2+ hour drive home.

So natural

The great thing with the lashes is that as they are such a superior quality, I can use them more than once, and I still have another two pairs to test out.

Gladrags and Marlow

As I am off to London this weekend, I may have to wear the thicker fancier ones and put on my glad rags.

Watch this space

Till then,
