ES The Bright Peacock Lashes from KKCenterHK

Wednesday, July 3, 2013

I recently was sent a pair of paper lashes from KKCenterHK from the brand ES. I picked the peacock set because I thought they looked very cute in the pictures.

Pros:
-They're pretty comfortable considering how big they are and the odd paper texture.
-From certain close up angles, they do look pretty neat.
-Extra long band that can be trimmed easily.

Cons:
-Not reusable. I tried to wear them twice but they ripped while I tried to clean them.
-Unless you're taking close up editorial shots that are extremely close up, you can't tell what they are. They just look like really big, weird lashes.
-Not as "crisp" as in the pictures. Peacock looks kinda melted.
-Rather pricey for one time use (though admittedly cheaper than the Paperself lashes) on sale for $9.99 right now.

I used:
Brows: NARS Bali, NYX Brow Shaper
Eyes: LORAC Behind the Scenes Primer, NYX Jumbo in Milk, MUFE #83,92,171, Sephora + Pantone Universe Shades of Nature Palette, MAC Museum Bronze Pigment, LORAC Beige

Basically while cool in concept, I think they're not quite suited for use actual use.

AFTER Gold Series A7 Lashes from KKCenterHK

Monday, March 4, 2013

Hi folks!

So lately I've worn the same style of lashes quite a bit and have gotten questions on Instagram and in real life as to what they were. They're from KKCenterHK and it's from a new brand that I have not tried before. The brand is AFTER and the style number is A7.

I really love these! They're very comfortable, with a super flexible band that is easily trimmed from either side if you find that the lashes are too long for your eye or to tone down the look by trimming away the longer hairs. The style is pretty natural, the band blends in very easily with dark liner. It's definitely not an over the top look, not too dense or too long, just fluttery crosshairs that look like the beautiful set of lovely lashes that I definitely was not born with.

I definitely like these the most out of all the lashes I've tried in recent memory. Another plus is that they clean up really well for reuse, but priced at $19.56 per box of ten pairs, you won't be too sorry if you lose any.

What are you favorite false lashes?

Triangular Studs from KKCenterHK

Hi folks!
Just a quick review tonight. Recently I had the opportunity to try some cool looking studs from KKCenterHK. I picked out these triangular silver studs because I had a Zelda Triforce manicure in mind. However, the studs turned out to be much bigger than I anticipated.

In fact, they are large enough that they don't stay on my nail very well due to my nail's curved shape. It causes the tips of the stud to just kind of stick out. If I use nail glue and am careful, it's not that big of a deal but it can snag on things. I think if you have broader, flatter nails then these would work just fine. These silver studs are $5.28 per pack and can be found here.

The color I'm wearing as my base polish is Zoya Vespa, made glossy with Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and top coat.

KKCenterHK Review: All Belle Red Wedding Lashes

Thursday, November 1, 2012

Hi folks!

I tried out some more lashes from KKCenterHK. These are by the brand All Belle, the Red Wedding line.

First off, you'll notice that the packaging is quite nice! I'm used to cardboard boxes for bulk lashes but these are in sturdy plastic and cardboard red packaging.

I was a bit surprised to see how different they looked from their pictures online. If you look at the site, you'll notice that D2121 and D4121 both look like they are wispy and made of crisscross hairs.

First one, D2121. They're quite supposed to be natural looking, with various lengths of lashes that are staggered. These weren't too bad, band applied decently.

Second is D4121. This one is more of a volume lash, the lashes are not as long as the D2121 but they are much more densely arranged. I didn't particularly like these, the band was sort of stiff and the hairs are 'hard', which means they don't really blend in with your lashes very well.

To sum it up, I think these are not as flexible or forgiving as silk or natural hair lashes. They're a little stiff and the hairs are rather firm, not as pliable as lashes that I've tried in the past from KKCenterHK. If you're a seasoned lash wearer and plan on wearing these to say a nightclub or concert, I think they'll suit your needs. If you are new to the lash game or just really concerned about finding the most natural and invisible lashes, these might not be for you. The packaging is really nice, definitely top notch for false lashes but I think other lashes that I've tried form KKCenterHK photographed better and were easier to wear. Each box of lashes is $26.33 per set of 10 pairs.

More Lashes From KKCenterHK

Tuesday, March 20, 2012

I was given the opportunity to try out more lashes from KKCenterHK.
These are ES brand, called A880. I liked that they're a bit spiky, but still quite natural looking.

The band wasn't as flexible as some of the others that I've tried from KKCenterHK, but still fit reasonably well. I like that the band isn't super noticeable, it's quite subtle and doesn't scream "Fake! Fake lashes!"

As you can see, the lashes are longest in the center and decrease into shorter lengths at the ends.

They're $8 for 10 pairs which is a fantastic value if you wear false lashes often, but does not include glue. Heck, I don't even know where in the US you can get lashes for that price.

Here's what they look like on my eyes.

On a side note, I want to mention that I have made a purchase from KKCenterHK before, with my own funds. My order arrived very quickly considering that the company is overseas.

I'm also wearing:

Brows: NYX Brow Shaper, NARS Bali shadow
Eyes: LORAC Behind The Scenes Eye Primer, MAC Copperplate, Rock & Republic Veil, Rock & Republic Chain Link, MAC Prepped For Glamour, Femme Couture Cake Liner, La Femme Eye Liner Sealer
Lips: Stila Convertible color in Peony
Face: MUFE HD foundation, Chanel Rose Temptation, BECCA Fine Loose Powder

Do you wear false lashes often? Or at all? What style do you like, flamboyant, feathered, natural, etc?
