0 Comments

 
This post is dedicated purely to a side-by-side comparison of Ardell False Eyelashes and KES Strip EyeLashes so you know what to expect when you buy either brand. 
Material 
  • Ardell fake eyelashes are made out of either synthetic hair or sterilized human hair.
  • KES Lashes are 100% mink false eyelash extensions. 
Appearance 
  • Ardell false eyelashes are generally flat, without any depth to their appearance.
  • KES Lashes are 3D, making them appear more like real eyelashes, and more dramatic in the more voluminous styles.

  • KES Lashes come in a hard cover, magnetic clasp storage box.

Usage
  • Ardell false eyelashes are not designed for much more than two or three wears before they start to lose their shape.
  • KES Lashes can be worn 20+ times if you take care of them and use the storage box. 
Price 
  • Ardell strip eyelashes range in price, starting at a few dollars for a pair.
  • KES Lashes cost $18/pair which works out to be under $1/per wear, depending on how well you take care of them!
Ultimately, when it comes to choosing a brand of fake eyelashes, you need to look a the quality of the product and how often you plan on wearing them. If you’re only going to wear them once or twice for a special occasion, then Ardell Lashes would be your best best. If you’re looking for a higher quality product that can be worn time and time again, choose KES Lashes!

How to care for your fake eyelashes

11/21/2019

Congratulations! You've bought a pair of the greatest fake eyelashes you can buy. These false eyelashes are reusable multiple times. They are 3D, made from 100% real mink. However, there are some special care instructions that must be adhered to in order to get the most wear from your sparkling new false eyelashes.
Picture
Be gentle with your false eyelashes
Grasp the fake eyelashes by the band when picking up. Don’t tug when applying or removing. If you find it difficult to remove the false eyelashes from your eyelid, dampen a cotton swab with water and rub it gently over the band to loosen the glue. If dried glue builds up on the band of your fake eyelashes, gently peel it off with your fingertips.

Apply mascara with care - do not apply to the fake eyelash
Applying mascara to the fake eyelash can cause damage, so only apply to your natural eyelashes first, let it dry, then apply the false eyelash.
​
Proper storage of your fake eyelashes is key
Store in the original packaging to maintain the lash shape and to keep them clean and protected from dirt, dust and bacteria.

Have fun with your lashes!

Eyelash Extensions vs Fake Eyelashes: which are better?

11/21/2019

0 Comments

 
Asking which is better, eyelash extensions or fake eyelashes is like asking which is better, men or women (and the answer is always women! jk). They are completely different products that work best in different ways for different people.
Picture
Here are some of the pros and cons of each:
Eyelash Extension Pros:
  • Wake up and brush, no need to "put them on" each morning
  • Look great even when you are sleeping
  • Can swim with them on
  • Can look incredibly natural, or long and thick
Eyelash Extension Cons:
  • Higher maintenance, require fills every 3-4 weeks
  • Can be allergic to the glue used
  • Cannot mix up your look on a whim
Fake Eyelashes Pros:
  • Cost effective - one set at $18 can last month and months, even longer if you take good care of them.
  • Easy to apply
  • Great for people who are allergic to glue used in eyelash extensions
  • Can change up your look whenever you want by stocking several pairs
Fake Eyelashes Cons:
  • Need to remove at night and reapply every morning.
  • Cannot be used in water
So, as you can see, whether eyelash extensions work best for you, or false eyelashes really depends on your situation and what your lifestyle is like. If you want hassle-free for the 3 weeks between fills, then lash extensions might be for you. If you prefer to mix up your look every day, and don't want to be tied to a 3-week fill schedule, then grab a pair of fake eyelashes! Either way, they will look amazing on you!
