I love how the people at MM manage to pack everything into the box so perfectly - no space wasted!

What I actually ordered:
1. Ardell InvisiBand Demi Pixies, 4 pairs for $8.80:
2. Ardell Fashion Lashes 112, 2 for about $4.50:
These are bottom lashes - but they're still pretty long. Wish they had something shorter. Originally I wanted the invisiband version but those have been discontinued.
3. Ardell InvisiBand Fairies, 4 for $8.80:
4. Elise Faux Eyelashes #313 (half lashes), 2 for $1.55 on sale
I'm quite disappointed in these because they aren't curled at all! I couldn't tell from the website, but looking at them now, the lashes are stick straight. I don't see the point of putting on falsies if they are just going to stick straight down/out?
I guess I'll try curling them - maybe the point of having them straight is so that you can curl them with your own lashes when they're applied? At least these were cheap...$1.55 for two. But I ended up getting 3, the 3rd being the free pair of lashes promotion that they give with most orders.
5. DUO Eyelash Adhesive in Dark, $4.35:
I have the clear version and it works great, except the glue never really dries clear no matter how little I put on. So I wanted to try the dark version to see if that blends with eyeliner and the lash spine better.
I wonder if there's really a difference between the regular lashes and the invisibands from Ardell, because I've noticed some Invisibands seem to look the same as the regular Fashion lashes. I wanted the Invisibands mostly because I really don't like the time it takes to apply eyeliner and also to remove it. So I figured I could try out Invisibands to see if they can stand on their own without needing black liner to cover up the spine. I'll see how it goes this weekend.

U got enough lashes for the whole yr.
by the way, how many times can you reuse a pair of false lashes?
Nice haul! The Elyse ones do look really straight, but for $1.55, it's at least fun to experiment with, right? :)
whoaaa. what a haul! :P you got some really pretty ones. :D can't wait to see you modeling these. :D
nice haul!! i'm kind of o.O about the elise, too, hmm... and u got three of these?? maybe it'll actually look pretty good if u have it on... if not, i'd say return or exchange them. The invisibands, on the other hand, look great! i can't wait to see EOTDs w/those
jewels: lol yeah they'll last me a long while. i think you can reuse them at least 5 times? it should all depend on how you take care of them...
girlmeetsmakeup: yup my consolation is that they were less than a dollar each. if they don't work out i'll dress them up with glitter or something for fun :P
christiana: thanks girl! :)
alienman: it was 2 for $1.55, but they put in a 3rd one...probably because they usually give out 1 free pair of lashes with orders over a certain amount. or maybe it was the code. but since they cost so little i'll keep them as it'll probably cost me more to pay for return shipping to US :S
I was thinking i could use them as super long bottom lashes ...lol. perhaps for halloween haha.
Nice haul! Wow that is lash heaven!
In response to your comment: I totally think its perfect for use twice a day (the calamine soap) I use it sometimes in the AM and PM and it's super gentle! Of course with every soap it can be a bit drying so I just dab on some moisturizer and I am good to go! Let me know how you like it! I ordered a full size bar!
I got a madamemadeline order too! But it's sent to my school address so I can't get it until next week. The Demi Pixies look super cute.
I LOVE invisibands. They just look better on me... I also don't like to use liner, so that may be why.
vanessa: thanks for the info! i'm so ordering one this weekend :)
petitebelle: ooh can't wait for you to post yours!
fei: i'm hoping that they'll work for me without liner! liner is why i neglect my falsies most of the time. the fact that you use them without liner gives me hope that it might work :)
Hello jello! Yeah that bag is perfect for V-Day! <3
Yeah I am really starting to love Pure Luxe's skin care line, I actually just received the Pure Cleaning Oil today, haven't tried it, but I will soon and let you know, but yeah definitely go ahead and sample their stuff! I also got the full bar calamine today and boy is it huge!
let me know how you like it! :)
nice haul! I love falsies but its so time consuming putting them on
i agree, it takes me forever too! and thats when i use the sephora lash placement tool too lol...i think it took me 3 tries for each eye today :S
ohhh, i'm so glad i spotted this entry on your blog. now i know what i forgot to buy today -- lashes on madam madeline! my last order was a big one ($67), and i'm down to about 12 left. how often do you wear a pair before you throw them out? i only wear them about 3 times; i get so much glue, eyeliner, and mascara on them.
all right, off to buy some lashes!
hmm i can use mine for about 6 times, depending on how i take care of them maybe more, but thats because i don't use mascara with them. i avoid it because i don't know how i'd get the mascara off. 3 times sounds about right if you do use mascara...
I love your blog. I have tried Fairies lashes and #110 and they are great. They last for 4 to 5 days for me. The secret is to keep them dry.
where did you buy the duo lash glue???
i was searching for it everywhere...
