Hello lovelies!

No, not THAT time of the month silly. I know it's 4:11 in the morning but get your mind out of the gutter. haha Just kidding. MY mind's in the gutter. There's too much study to be done and did. My brain's not working correctly. I haven't pulled an all nighter in FOREVER, I think that last time I even ATTEMPTED was last year and, mind you when I say ATTEMPTED, I mean tried to stay up past 12, but ended up conking out 30min later. Yeah, I'm THAT weaksauce. That's why I need to study ahead of time. Sure, call me an old grandma but I literally DON'T function correctly for the next 1-2weeks from messing up my sleep sched. I lose/gain weight like crazy, I do/don't eat, and I my insomnia comes back. It really varies on how stressed I am. I feel like I haven't blogged in FOREVER, I finally got my camera back but I haven't had time to edit them so pictures have been piling up. I finally managed to transfer them but no edits :(

Sorry girlies. Anyways I'm pulling my first all-nighter in a year, for those that have done it, how do you do it? Coffee and food make me sleepy, energy drinks work once then wear off (not to mention I hate the gross feeling in my mouth and throat from the excess sugar. yeck) It's a miracle I've stayed up this long.

Let me know! I'll be updating by the end of this week! Thanks for staying with me for so long :)

Hello all! So I've come across a dilemma with my false lashes. The most recent ones that I purchased from iheartredcherry.com were super long, both the length of the lash hairs AND the length of the false eyelashes themselves. So I didn't know what to do with them. If I cut the eyelashes themselves then the hairs would be too long. But it's also too much effort to cut them both because knowing me I ALWAYS mess up somehow.

BUT I've recently discovered a method to put these way too big lashes to use. I've heard of cutting them in half but I never really understood the concept. I figured they would look too obvious because I lack eyelash hairs and sticking only HALF a strip of false eyelashes on my eye would make it so obvious. But with the ones that I bought (the #217 lashes), it works because the false eyelashes themselves are pretty natural looking but there's obvious volume. It's very natural looking minus the super obvious lengthening.

So basically the point of this entry was, if your false eyelashes are too long, cut them in half and use them on your outer corners. Haha sorry. Went off on a tangent.

Putting them on your outer corner ensures gradual volume and length as opposed to the whole strip. Not to mention 1 pair of falsies I can use twice as long ;D
Here's an example my lashes with and without the half falsies

Hello Lovelies! I feel like I haven't blogged in forever, but when I check it's actually only been 4 days. Garrr bad news, I had my camera taken away from me again. I can't find it anymore. Boo, my family has a nasty habit of taking things and not telling me....and also not returning them to their original place. SIGH So until I get it back I have resorted to webcam pictures.

DARN. After the last post I lost my eyelash adhesive so I haven't been wearing falsies all of this week. haha boo fails. But anyways here are a picture of how long the Red Cherry Lashes #213 are. I'm most likely going to do length comparisons in the nearby future when I can get my lazy butt out to the drugstore to get eyelash adhesive.
From this angle you can definitely tell that I'm wearing falsies. Heck you can even see the bone of the false eyelashes! Anyways (if my eyeliner were darker it wouldn't do that haha boos) you can tell that besides the bone they actually look pretty natural and blend fairly well with my natural lashes. These are actually very comfortable to wear. The bone doesn't stab my inner corner as much as others. They are a bit long though so I did do some trimming. Other than that. I believe these are one of the most natural yet volumizing lashes that I have ever used. Compared to my ardell invisibands these are a little more dramatic, in a natural way. By dramatic I really mean volumizing because the invisibands are a little thin for my taste.

I really reccomend everyone trying these out. They DO need a little trimming if you have smaller eyes but they're also very cheap so that's okay! They cost about $1.49 each, compared to invisibands which I used to get for about $2.59 I believe. And that's the cheapest price for them that I've ever seen too. :)

Hope this helped anyone
