Dramatic Smokey Eyes

I just wrapped up a shoot testing out hubby's new camera, so I decided to put a little extra effort into my eye makeup today.  Using my Coastal Scents Original 88 palette, I did a super-dramatic smokey eye using the darkest neutrals included and then topped it off by applying my Ardell Demi 120 false lashes.  Check it out!

Lol, now I'm going to have to go to class with really intense eyes and big hair.  Oh well.  :)  Hope everyone's enjoying a lovely Wednesday afternoon!

Ardell 120 Demi Eyelashes

Y'all know I love my dollar Daiso eyelashes, but sometimes I crave quality over frugality and novelty.  I was at my local CVS drugstore the other day when I spied a pair of Ardell 120 Demi Lashes.  They looked so delicate, yet dramatic.  I wanted to try them to compare with my cheap-o Daiso lashes.

They're made from real human hair and are super-ultra-lightweight.  Honestly, I can't feel a thing when I'm wearing them.  I also love how they have an invisible band so they blend right in with my natural lashes  The length and flare are just so pretty.  I'm afraid I might have to throw all my cheap plastic lashes out and replace them with these!  At about $4 USD a pair, they're really not priced so bad.  They're also reusable as long as you store them correctly.  You can get yours here at Ulta.com!

Nice lashes make such a big difference, they definitely help your eyes stand out more:

Boring, unadorned eyes.

Boom!  Eyelashes!

Honestly, I'd wear these every day if I wasn't so lazy to put them on.  I'll definitely be decorating my peepers with these for the upcoming holiday parties.  They're so photogenic!

Hope everyone's having an amazing Sunday!
