Double up on the false eyelashes
December 13, 2009
Sometimes I start to find it hard to find a good pair of lashes, and even when I do, they cost too much and due to my daily usage of the lashes, i just cannot afford to pay over $5 for a pair of eyelashes.
So I tend to stare over the Toyko Bar of Shumera with jealousy.
WHAT?
Honestly, $25US for those smoky layers false lashes, I’d be in debt for the rest of my life if I had to use those every day.. even if I could reuse them for a whole week, I’d be paying $25*52weeks = $1300US!
Now, let me share my little secret.
I normally opt to bulk purchase 10 pairs of lashes at a time at a bargain – such as the Model21 lashes I love, and more recently, I’ve fallen in love with the Princess 720 handmade lashes.
Try Ebay for both of these. I normally purchase most, if not all, of my false lashes from Ebay.
Model 21 Lashes are about $10US for 10 pairs and Princess Lashes are a little more expensive, but averages at about $12US for 10 pairs.
These lashes could be found with a simple Ebay search on “false eyelashes”, “handmade lashes” or “Model21″
Applying: The application of these lashes is very easy. First, you glue your princess lashes to add volume to your real lashes, and then glue your model21 lashes ontop of your princess lashes to add length. Make sure you glue the second pair of lashes ontop of your first pair of lashes to avoid any tearing of your real lashes when you take them off at the end of the day.
Cost: ($10US/10pairs) + ($12US/10pairs) = $2.20US
Removing: Slowly pull off both layers of lashes together. This should be quite easy because you’ve glued the top layer ontop of the bottom layer forming one band to remove. If you do this carefully, the false lashes should stick with each other so that the next time you use them, they are already stuck with each other and all you have to do is clean the excess glue off and glue it back on to reuse.
How long will it last: I’d say because you are leaving the glue on, bacteria is easily spread so the maximum you should keep these lashes for, are a few days. Do not use mascara ontop of this application because the voluminising and lengthing lashes are more than enough.
Results: Should look like the below photos
♥ Enjoy!
Yikes. Do you seriously throw out your falsies after a few days of use? Now I feel dirty, lol. Each pair lasts me months but I clean it by removing the dried glue and wiping it down with a q-tip and some makeup remover and warm water. Sometimes, but hardly ever, I sanitize them with rubbing alcohol. I’ve been wearing them this way for many years now and I haven’t had any problems with infection.
I’ve heard great things about Model21 and I’ve drooled over their selection, too. Thanks for reminding me of them! The Princess model looks so pretty!!
I know! Lashes are so expensive its like around 5 bucks in the malls too and I’m not willing to spend even that amount on something that I have to throw away in a few days :\
Thanks for the ebay tip ha I shall buy them in bulks <3

i love the intensity of the lashes, esp at the root! love ur new layout too! very very pretty!
Hi! I have been looking around for lashes as well…particularly under lashes though because I have very very short bottom lashes. Doesn't seem like much places do it nowadays so I will probably just buy a very natural top row lashes and trim it.
I agree with the prices of the lashes. They are so expensive. I went into priceline and such even there, they were like $12 to $15. Gee!
I will probably just buy from ebay as well.
Hi there! Lovely to meet you tonight
I wear a lot of false eyelashes too – the most expensive ones I have are from Tokyo, so I wear them sparingly…
Your new lay-out is so cute!
xoxo, thn
