eyelash growth

Posts Tagged ‘lashes’

Hey Everyone,

About a month ago I was contacted by someone who works at Revlon and asked if I would be willing to review some of their false eyelashes and lash glue. before I start my review, I just want to say the following: I am and will always be 100% honest in all of my posts whether it be a review, a new makeup look or haul. I do not, and will not, take any form of compensation from any company for a review of their products, nor will I take any percentage of a sale from a product that I tell you about. I will always inform you if a product has been sent to me for review, but this will be the only time I post this disclaimer. with all that out in the open, onto the review.
Revlon has always been one of my favourite drugstore makeup lines (I love my colourburst lipsticks), but to be honest I didn’t even know they sold eyelashes. when I first opened my package from Revlon, I was surprised to see just how many different kinds of lashes and lash products they do carry. In total I was sent 4 pairs of different lashes and one tube of Revlon’s own lash glue. Wanting to make sure I could give you a very thorough review, I have spent the last month trying out all of the lashes and I have to say that overall I am really impressed. 
Due to the fact that I was sent several pairs of lashes and glue, I have split my review into three parts: (Lash Glue, Self-Adhesive Lashes and Glue on Lashes):

Revlon ‘Precision Lash Adhesive’
What:Revlon’s Precision Lash Adhesive is a no-mess, non-latex, waterproof lash glue. What makes this lash glue special is its thin brush that allows for precise application on the lash band. (Approx. $8.00 USD)
Pros:1) Ultra thin Brush- this is the only lash glue I have seen that has a brush for applying the glue to the lash without making a mess. most lash glues have squeeze tubes which make applying a thin coat of glue to the lash band more difficult. with this thin brush you can apply the glue exactly where you want it and don’t have to worry about extra glue sticking to your skin or real lashes. If for some reason, the corner of your lashes unstick throughout the day (did not happen to me), you can use this brush to help touch up the corners of the band and help the lashes stay on the lash line. 
2) Smell – the lash glues that I have used in the past have always had a very fishy smell, which to be honest always made me feel embarrassed when applying lashes on others (I didn’t want them to think my glue had gone bad and I was too stupid to know it). this glue has no smell whatsoever which for me, is a HUGE pro. 
3) It works- I have used Revlon’s lash glue several different times with several different pairs of lashes and have never had a problem with them unsticking or falling off. I used Revlon’s lash glue when I went to IMATS and wore my lashes from 8am-10pm without having to re-touch the glue or worry about my lashes slipping off. 
4) Its Gentle- I have somewhat sensitive eyes and never experienced any irritation with Revlon’s lash glue. Although the lashes stayed on the entire day, they were super easy to peel off at night and did not pull at the delicate skin around my eyes. 
Cons:1) Length of time to apply – the only con I could find with this lash glue is that it takes a while for the glue to get tacky enough to stick the lashes to the eye. rather than putting the glue on the lash and sticking it to the lash line right away, I had to wave the lashes (with glue on) around for about a minute before placing them on the lash line. If you are in a hurry to get out the door in the morning this may not be the glue for you.
Overall:I was really impressed with Revlon’s Precision Lash Adhesive. I can say with certainty that this will become the lash glue I use on and recommend to other people.

Revlon Glue on Lashes
Top: beyond Natural Lashes in ‘Dramatic 3x Volume’, beyond Natural Lashes in ‘Natural Defining’
Bottom: Fantasy Lengths Lashes in ‘Intensifying’

What: Synthetic handmade lashes in a variety of styles and lengths. these glue on lashes have a very natural look and can be easily applied to the lash line using Revlon’s ‘Precision Lash Adhesive’. (Approx. $6.00 USD)
Pros:1) Durable: I have used my Fantasy Length Lashes in ‘Intensifying’ several times now and they still have their original shape. Revlon doesn’t say how many wears you can get out of the lashes but I would suspect if you took care of these lashes properly you could use them approximately 10 times.
2) Natural Looking: All three pairs of these lashes are extremely natural looking. While wearing the Fantasy Lengths lashes at IMATS I received several compliments from people telling me how nice and natural my eyelashes looked. unlike some of the lashes out on the market, these 3 pairs of lashes are great for everyday wear.
3)Thin Band: these lashes have an extremely thin band that helps hide the fact that these lashes are fake. Often when I wear false lashes I have to apply heavy eyeliner in order to cover where the false lash meets the eye, but because the band on these lashes is so thin, the line completely disappears. 
4) Weight: another great thing about these lashes is that they feel light and do not have that heavy “weighing down your eyes” feel that some other false lashes have. once properly applied to the lash line, I completely forgot that I was even wearing false lashes.
Cons:1) Small Package Glue: the only fault I could find with any of these lashes is the small tube of lash adhesive that came with one of the pairs of lashes (the Fantasy Lengths in ‘Intensifying’). unlike Revlon’s Precision Lash Adhesive, this tube had no brush for applying the glue to the lashes and contained very messy white glue that left white clumps on the lashes when applied. If I were Revlon I would remove any of the smaller tubes of glue from their lash packages and stick with the larger package of their Precision Glue.

Revlon’s Fantasy Lengths’s Self Adhesive Lashes
What:Revlon’s website describers the Fantasy Lengths Self Adhesive Lashes are follows: “Without messy glue to fumble with – you can have perfect lashes that stay where you want them to – even in water” (Approx $6.00 USD)
Pros:1) No glue required: For those who find it difficult to use lash glue or don’t have the time to wait for the glue to become tacky, these lashes already have a sticky band along the top of the false lash for quick application
Cons:1) they don’t work: I tried these lashes several different times and in several different ways and could not get them to stay perfectly on my lash line for more than 30 seconds. one part of the band always started to fall off within seconds bringing the rest of the lash down within a couple of minutes.
2) the stickiness of band: While the band was super sticky when first applying the false lashes to the lash line, once they fell off (within a few minutes) the band lost its tackiness and was not sticky enough to reapply the false lash.
3) the extra band: Although Revlon does provide an extra self-adhesive band in case the first band loses its ability to stick to the lash line, the band is so delicate that by the time you try and get it out of the packaging it has been bent or broken. the other problem with the second lash band is that it is so incredibly sticky it gets stuck to your fingers, hands, clothing, etc. while trying to get it out of the packaging.
4) the thickness of the band: After having so many bad experiences with the self-adhesive band, I thought that I might be able to salvage the lashes by applying them with lash glue. unfortunately the band of the lashes is so thick (probably to help them stick to the eye) it makes the lashes look incredibly fake once applied to the eye. 
Overall:These lashes somewhat ruined the Revlon lash experience for me. I was so happy with the rest of the products I used, but these lashes left a bad taste in my mouth. If I were Revlon, I would get rid of the self adhesive lashes and only sell the glue on lashes.

Overall, I was really impressed with the quality of Revlon’s false lash products. If you haven’t tried any of their eyelash products I would highly recommend you check them out. I know I will be using their products in the future.

FunnyFace Beauty: Product Review: Revlon False Eyelashes and Eyelash Adhesive

Kate Moss 28/12/2010

The British supermodel – who has fronted cosmetic campaigns for Rimmel London and Dior – prefers to have a fresh, untouched face when she is off duty.

She said: “I love make-up when I’m in the studio but when I’m not working I just want a natural look.”

Although she favours plain chic over heavy make-up, Kate admits she never leaves home without curling her eyelashes and applying some eyeliner.

She explained: “I curl my eyelashes every day. My top tip is never curl them after you’ve put mascara on because your lashes become more fragile.

“I also always wear black eyeliner, I like to change my look so will either go for a subtle flick or really build it up for a smoky eye.”

Along with preferring to keep her make-up at a minimum, the busy mother-of-one also hates to waste time getting expensive beauty treatments, but is particular about the condition of her nails.

She said: “I don’t have manicures all the time, but I can’t bear it if my nails look a mess. I carry a file in my handbag for on-the-go grooming.”

Stimulate Eyelash Growth

Grow Longer EyeashesBest Eyelash Growth Is it possible?Annoyed with wrecked or absent eyelashes? I expect you are. I see I was, therefore I started to look into this and understand if there was anything I can do about it. looks like I was my own most horrible opponent when it arrived to my eyelash problem, and I had no evidence I was doing this.

I was paying attention to ordinary suggestion from associates, but barely did I understand that I was in fact hurting my appearance! Principal normal fault I made was to cut off my lashes. Sure, that’s accurate, I was informed that I was supposed reduce the lashes and that would force them to produce back fuller and thicker. in detail, that is appropriate with hair, except eyelashes are really special. if you reduce them they hang about that way, so please don’t produce this error. Following occurrence I did wrong was to pull out out a number of of my eyelashes. I heard somewhere that if the eyelash is removed it forces others to add to their development and seize its place. The extra eyelash was expected to produce back in a few weeks on their own. because I did this my eye lids seemed hairless, and the rest did not multiply to hold up that lost area. An extra terrible go, please don’t haphazardly eliminate eyelashes.

One detail that helps general eyelash health is to be gentle with mascara. Mascara can create eyes appear really amazing, but overuse of mascara will hurt lashes. Careless elimination of mascara will appallingly hurt your lashes, and render them breakable like dried out twigs. This will produce them to fracture off and they won’t develop back unless you tug them out. So please, be cautious with your makeup use. The only admirable opinion I got on lash development was to use eyelash development enhancers. these products are scientific and contain a serum that includes chemical compounds to enhance eyelash growth. They also retain proteins that promote eyelash growth, and conditioners to keep up strong and longer lashes. I tested these eyelash stimulators and found they are easy and not dangerous to use, and in a few weeks my lashes were growing fantastically thick and deliciously longer. There you have it, every one of the errors I have made all along the path to grow fuller eyelashes. Don’t you like to rebuild a longer and more wonderful lash? I am definite you do. Several useful eyelash enhancers are offered that encourage eye brow and lash development to reinstate your pure attractiveness.

Some women report success using only vaseline or olive oil. Apply these lubricants to your eyelashes at night and rinse them off in the morning. Do this every night for two weeks and if you do not notice longer, thicker eyelashes then you may want to try a different technique.

For a temporary fix, you could apply fake eyelashes. many celebrities use fake eyelashes to make their eyelashes look longer. Be careful not to apply large amounts of eyelash glue as it will pull out several lashes at a time when you take it off. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions when applying fake eyelashes.

There are several eyelash makeup tricks than can give the illusion of longer, thicker eyelashes. first, use an eyelash curler. Curled eyelashes give the appearance of longer, fuller eyelashes. Upturned lashes are also associated with youth and can really brighten your eyes. Second, apply eyeliner close to your lash line. choose an eyeliner color that is darker than your natural lash color. you are trying to create the illusion that there is more hair at the roots of your lashes. Also, extend the line at the outer corners of your eyes to make your lashes look longer.

If the results with the makeup tips and vaseline aren’t enough for you then try a free eyelash growth serum. Idol Lash enhancing serum is one of the best eyelash growth products on the market. Several woman have seen great success with using this product and the best part is you can try it free!

Get Longer Lashes Naturally From These Eyelash Growth Tips — Makeup Tips

A tad overdue on the review but yes, I had written a few months ago, that I would attempt to find an alternative to false eyelashes, thus trying this product. Link to that previous post: http://spiderjules.blogspot.com/2010/09/false-eyelashes-boo.html

I applied this product on my eyelashes every night before I went to sleep, for 30 days. I would say that, it does make my eyelashes thicker, but not really any longer (even though it’s advertised to do so). If it does actually make my eyelashes longer, then it takes fricken’ long ass time. I’m still using the product in the hopes that it will continue to make my eyelashes thicker and longer. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it’s kind of a let down if you plan to use it short term (my definition of short term is 30 days).

Since the beginning of the experiment, there’s been plenty of ads on the TV here of mascara that also has formulas to grow your lashes at the same time. I haven’t tried those products but it’s possible that it could work better.
