Born Pretty Handmade False Eye Lashes Review

I have a love-hate relationship with falsies. I love the dramatic way they thicken lashes and make eyes stand out but I detest the finicky glue and painstakingly trying to line them up on my lash-line. Nevertheless I decided to give falsies another try when I saw the beautiful selection of handmade lashes at BornPretty.Com.

I decided to get two varieties, bold and natural. The first set is called Aimei Eyelashes which I believe is a Chinese brand that comes in a box with 5 sets. These lashes are quite long, dense and glamorously dramatic. The hairs are woven in a crisscross pattern and are well made. They are also cut rather straight so instead of curving upwards they protrude outwards creating a unique effect.

On the site there are many dramatic variations available and you can find these lashes HERE, they retail for $6.65 per box.

The second set of lashes is entirely made by hand and although quite thick the pattern is more natural. These lashes are also quite long but not overly so and they are made of  multi-length hairs. The quality is great which allows for multiple wear of each set and they are light weight and non-cumbersome. The box contains 10 pairs of lashes for just $6.49 and although I lack the patience for daily application I do think these are great for everyday wear.You can find them by clicking HERE.

Here is a photo of me wearing the lashes above along with the smokey Sugar Box purple eye shadow palette also from Born Pretty.Com.

Each row of lashes is held down by a gold sticker and although easy to remove the packaging does not allow for the formation of a natural curve making application a bit more difficult. To apply the lashes I did have to bend them to fit the shape of my eyes but curling them was not necessary. The attachment line at the top also comes with an extended fiber that hangs over the lash line and needs to be trimmed for proper adhesion.

When it comes to falsies practice makes perfect and with a little persistence eventually the process becomes easier. If you love false lashes Born Pretty offers a great variety at affordable prices and if you use the code EDH10 you will receive an additional 10% off any purchase.

Born Pretty Purple Shimmer Eye Shadow Palette

Smokey eye shadow is one of my favorite sultry looks and it can be done with almost any shade. Today I have a review on the Smokey Sugar Box Eye Shadow Palette from Born Pretty. The palette I have is 06 which includes six shimmery shades ranging from: silver, bronzed pink, deep purple, frosty purples and black. There are 8 different palettes available with varying color combinations and they currently retail for just $8.43 each.

This little palette exceeded my expectations! The texture is silky smooth, the colors are buildable and the pigmentation is great. The shades complement each other very well and can create a variety of gorgeous looks. For such affordability the quality is impressive, in fact it is better than some of the small drug store palettes I have recently tried. The only thing I would change is swapping the sparkly black shade for a matte black which is better for contouring the crease.

Blending is simple due to the great texture of the shadows and this look took only minutes to complete! I am also wearing false lashes from Born Pretty which I will also be reviewing shortly.

The shadows are easy to work with, don’t cause much fall-out and are suitable for both day and evening wear.With a good primer they are also long-lasting and non-creasing.

If you are browsing the website I definitely recommend checking out this palette (which you can find HERE). If you use the code EDH10 you will receive an additional 10% off any purchase!

This palette was a success but it isn't the first great palette I have tried from Born Pretty. To see a previous makeup looks I created using another awesome palette click  HERE.
