The Best Mink Eyelashes

Hello beauties!

We are so excited to tell you about our favorite mink lashes. Paige and I tried our first pair of these in November and then won our second pairs! Click the image to see Velour Lashes website.

If you are looking for high quality mink lashes you NEED to check out Velour Lashes. These false lashes are quite expensive to be honest, but you can wear them up to 25+ times with proper care. They are so worth it. The mink fur comes from free range farms and is from the hair that is brushed off of the animals. There is no harm done to them in the process. The lashes are anywhere from $30-50. 

The first pair we tried were the style "Doll Me Up." We both agreed these lashes are great quality lashes and so beautiful. This particular style of lash isn't exactly what we would call everyday wear eyelashes. They are quite extreme and long but very beautiful. During the month of November, Velour sold their lashes in these pink boxes for breast cancer awareness and donated some of the proceeds to the National Cancer Foundation!

I (Chelsee) had to trim my lashes to fit my eye because they were too big for the width of my eyes. This was simple and easy, just take off as little as you can from the outer corner of the lash and not the inner corner. To apply my lashes I use DUO eyelash glue or Andrea Modlash eyelash glue in clear, which are available at Walgreens and Walmart.

The second pair we both won in a Halloween contest by Velour were the "Whispie Sweet Nothings." These lashes are very natural looking, and we agreed that they are more perfect for everyday wear. You might be able to tell from the picture but I have already worn these lashes about 20 times and they are still very wearable and pretty. I never sleep with them on and I always remove the glue immediately after taking these lashes off.

My next purchase of these consisted of another pair of Whispie Sweet Nothings and the new Carli Lash. Before I address the Carli Lash I just want to mention that my new pair of Whispie Sweet Nothings looked different from the first pair. I'm not sure  if they have changed how they make them, or if I was sent the wrong pair before. Paige said her Whispie Sweet Nothings that she won look more like the new pair I ordered. The new pair is on the left, and the older pair on the right. I'm going to email them and ask them why these look so different!

Carli Bybel is one of my favorite YouTube makeup artists and beauty guru. She collaborated with Velour Lashes to make her own style of lash called the Carli Lash and they are beautiful! The band is very thick so I think I can make these last a very very long time. I am so impressed with this pair of lashes. I can say that as of right now they are my favorite pair. They are winged out on the outer corner to make your eyes look sultry and beautiful. They are like an amped up version of the drugstore lashes "demi whispies.'

If you have made it to the end of this horribly long post, congratulations! I really do love these false lashes. I don't think I could love these lashes any more. Thanks for reading :) 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Single Eyeshadows

Hello makeup lovers!

Click the images to see Anastasia Beverly Hills website

You might have heard of Anastasia Beverly Hills brow products before. They are really known for their brow line, but recently they launched some amazing single eyeshadows! Some of these eyeshadows have been available previously in palettes by Anastasia. You can now get them in a larger size pan! I have been wearing these babies every day since I got them!
These eyeshadows launched on November 18th and are available to purchase on the Anastasia Beverly Hills website (http://anastasiabeverlyhills.com/). The price of one eyeshadow is $12 which is a bit spendy. But the bundle prices are 4 shadows for $40 ($10 each), or 8 shadows for $70 ($8.75 each). So I got a bundle of 8 and ordered one additional shadow because I qualified for free shipping and then got an additional 10% coupon for signing up for their emails.
So, there are eight different classifications of eyeshadows: Titanium, Duo Chrome, Ultra-Matte, Metallic, Satin, Shimmer, Sparkle, and Velvet. If you want to learn in detail what the differences are in these types, and see swatches of every eyeshadow watch Norvina Sun's YouTube channel! She created these shadows and she's also incredibly talented and beautiful. 
 Note: These swatches were done with no primer! Just shows how awesome they really are!

These colors from left to right are are Electro, Iridescent Purple, Opaline, and Rosette. These are my 'purple' shadows.

Electro is classified as a Due Chrome meaning it puts off two different colors. It is bright purple with blue iridescence. 

Iridescent purple is classified as a Duo Chrome; purple with blue iridescence. 

Opaline is classified as a Duo Chrome; bright violet with magenta iridescence. 

Rosette is classified as a Titanium; rich burgundy.

Here are the other 5 swatched: 

These colors from left to right are Metal, Pink Champagne, Mermaid, Dragonfly, and Dusty Rose. 

The Titanium shadows are probably my favorites! 

Metal is classified as a Titanium (shimmer off the chain); silver gold. 

Pink Champagne is classified as a Titanium; pink beige with shimmer. 

Mermaid is classified as a Titanium; shimmery deep teal.

Dragonfly is classified as a Duo Chrome; iridescent blue with purple.

Dusy Rose is classified as a Velvet; light lilac brown. 

I am so in love with these shadows! I even asked for four more for Christmas! I would definitely recommend these. I would also highly recommend getting them in a bundle because the price is so much better that way. So save your pennies and try some of these! Don't forget to check out Norvina Sun on YouTube for in-detail information about each individual shadow. These are very pigmented and fun to play with! Also you can follow us on Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!

Thanks for stopping by! Merry Christmas :) This post is not sponsored.
