If you did not win the giveaway, but still want to try false eyelashes, I highly recommend the Esqido Mink Eyelashes.

Choosing Your Lashes

Esqido provides a lash guide to assist you with choosing the perfect pair of eyelashes for your eyes. Every set of eyes has features that distinguish them from everyone else’s eyes and finding the right pair to define and accentuate the best qualities of your eyes will make your false lashes pop even more! Do you have almond eyes, round eyes, deep set eyes, or prominent eyes? Close set or wide set? What size are your eyes and what volume are your natural lashes? What is your personal style and experience level with false lashes? And what is your intended purpose for wearing false lashes…daily wear or special occasion wear? The Esqido Lash Guide will help you answer these questions and find the perfect lashes for you.

Applying Your Lashes

If it is your first time applying false eyelashes, do not get discouraged if you don’t get it just right. It is a delicate process and practice makes perfect.

1. Measure your new lashes to fit your lash line and gently trim them to fit your eyelid.

2. Add the adhesive (eyelash glue) to the band of the lash. Higher quality lashes will have wider bands which allow for easier application of the adhesive.

3. Allow the glue to dry for a minute on the lash band until it becomes tacky.

4. Gently begin placing the lash along the top of your eyelid starting at the outer corner and working your way in. Be sure to stay as close to your lash line as possible. For a cat eye effect, you can place the outer corner of the false eyelash just above your natural lash line.

5. Blend them for a more natural look by applying a thin line of black matte eyeshadow where the lashes meet your eyes.

6. Add mascara to your new lashes for an even more dramatic effect.

7. Enjoy your new glamorous look!

Removing and Cleaning Your False Eyelashes for Multiple Wear

1. Soften the adhesive with a Q-tip soaked in makeup remover or coconut oil by rubbing it gently across your lash line.

2. Delicately grab the outer corner of the false lash and begin to pull the strip away from your natural lashes.

3. Peel the remaining adhesive off of the band of the false eyelashes. You may need tweezers to grip the dried glue and pull it away. Handle your false lashes with care as they are very delicate.

4. Make a cleaning solution of water and soap or makeup remover.

5. Immerse the false lashes in the solution and gently rub them between your finger tips to break up any mascara and other makeup residue.

6. Once all the makeup and residue is removed from your false lashes, pat them dry and allow them to thoroughly air dry before storing them in an air tight container for future use.

7. Hygiene and cleanliness of your false eyelashes is of the utmost importance as you do not want to allow bacteria to build up on them that could cause eye infections.

And now your featured favorites from last week’s link party!

I am loving the perfect timing of her post as I am currently looking for inspiration for a wedding guest outfit for my brother-in-law’s upcoming nuptials in just a few weeks. Plus the Royal Wedding. Um, hello. Doesn’t everyone get dressed to the nines and wake up 3:00 a.m. to watch such a special event?! Or is that just me?
