New Years Eve suckas!?! FOTD: Midnight flames

It's New Years Eve!!! I'm at home hanging out where I want to be. I don't drink or party much anymore. I don't think it's cause I'm getting old, I guess it's just really not my thing right now. I haven't sworn off partying but I really haven't partied since March of this year. Sooo I am enjoying just hanging out and doing nothing! I hope everyone had a great 2009 and 2010 is just as good! I don't really believe in resolutions, I feel you can make changes any time of the year, why wait for a fresh start? I don't knock on people who do make them, I just don't really do them myself I guess. Anywayssss... =]

I did this blue look about 2 weeks ago? So I don't remember everything I used but I do remember the eyes for the most part. I have been neglecting my blue eyeshadows the last like 5 months. So I needed to bust them out and give them some fresh air!

Review: Revlon Eyelashes

This will be a long awaited review on Revlon eyelashes. A Revlon representative was kind enough to send me 6 pairs of Revlon lashes at no charge and I told her I would do a review. I've been postponing this for months now. Probably like 3 months so here it goes!

This is what Janet sent me in her email: "There are several styles of glue-on eyelashes available for those who prefer to use glue. For those who want something a little easier to apply, Revlon’s self-adhesive eyelashes are perfect! They require no messy glue, are very easy to apply, and are latex-free, which means they’re gentle on the eyes. Styles range from natural to glamorous, so you can choose the eyelash that completes the look you’re going for."

Here is my take on it: They don't have as many styles as I'd like but they do have very natural styles you can wear on a daily basis. I found the spine to be very flexible on the self adhering lashes. Which is a big PLUS for me. I hate hard spines because they come off easily and are just harder to work with. The self adhesive ones didn't seem promising because I've tried some from another brand before that needed glue from the start. These held up pretty good. They started coming off towards the inner eye after a couple of hours but it did hold up longer than I expected. All I did was put some lash glue to keep it on. The extra adhesive it comes with is very handy once your done with them for the day. The lashes themselves like I said, look very natural so I liked that for work. The hairs were semi-long and blended well with mine(which I love). I don't know if you guys care about packaging but I found the packaging to be a little big. I'd rather have it come in a little tray like some other ones cause I could store them easier. But it's not such a big deal. I found it really easy to put these on. I usually use tweezers to apply lashes but this was do-able with my fingers. So if you're in a rush these may be for you.

Bottom Line:
Price(1 pair):varies-I've seen them at walmart for around $3.99 but drugstore.com has them for $4.19.
Product: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 3 out of 5
Would I purchase: Maybe or maybe not. It really depends, to be honest, I doubt it because I do like another brand better. If I needed natural looking one and am in a rush, then these will be my go to..
