Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit Review!

Before these lashes, I owned 2 pairs: one had a huge thick band of glitter on it and super-long, curly lashes at the outer corners, and the other pair was trimmed on a diagonal [okay, the 2nd pair I could fool people were natural in my Facebook picture, but never in real life]. As you can tell, I was in desperate need of some more natural-looking lashes, just for tutorials or nights out or future weddings/fancy events.

Some things I really like about these lashes in particular are:

-this doesn't really count but I was so impressed with Kiss' nail stickers that their brand is a new favorite of mine

-they were lush and full-looking, something that is hard to find in drugstore lashes (I'm looking at you, Ardell and NYX)

-the glue had a super strong hold- comparable if not better to Duo, which I own and use 

-in this starter kit, you get three things, and not just the lashes, so it's good value for your money (these are around $5 at drugstores)

Despite all of that, there were only a couple things I wasn't too crazy about:

-it might just be me, or the fact that I'm already clumsy about putting lashes on, but I thought the applicator was more confusing than helpful. I'll just stick to my tweezers to get them up on my lashline, which is what I usually use. If you're subscribed to my Youtube channel, elleoenigma, you can look up my "How to Apply False Lashes" tutorial, where I show how to use tweezers!

-the glue took a whole minute to dry, whereas the same amount of Duo lash glue would probably only take half of that time. I think the hold of this glue was a little stronger than Duo though, so it's a tradeoff

That's about all I have to contribute for now! Overall a great product, and if you have the need for some lashes I would definitely recommend these. Thanks for reading!

P.S. I was sent these for free from Influenster in one of my boxes, but that doesn't affect my opinion! I test out all products unbiased-ly. 

NYC Custom Eyes Individual Eye Compact!

This is just a quick little rundown of the pros and cons of this cute product I was sent for free from Influenster, since my experience with it so far has been limited but there are some things I really do like about it, and for $5 at any drugstore and with a color selection much wider than just the palette I checked out (mine was dark silvers and greys, my fave!), why not scope it out if you want to spice up your makeup collection?

Pros:
-plastic packaging feels sturdy, not cheap
-is cute and compact!
-color selection is perfect for me but also any eye color
-shimmer is gorgeous
-white highlight color is very functional and well-pigmented
-darkest shade showed up SO welll- use a light hand!

Cons:
-primer seemed goopy and thick to me
-the shadows are so pigmented they can get all over the place if you don't tap off your brush!
-middle two shades looked very similar on, but it wasn't too big of a deal

As always, thank you for reading and get in touch with me for any additional info or questions!
