Threads Lashes & Brow | Beauty

www.threadsbeauty.com

I feel like lashes is one of those beauty do or dont's. You can either apply lashes or you can't, there is no other way around it. For the most part, I can't. Sometimes, I can (complete fluke believe me!). I'm not much of a lash wearer as I am blessed with some long ole' real lashes but sometimes I like to go all out and wear lashes.

I had never heard of Threads beauty before I was contacted by the lovely Jasmin to see if I wanted to try some out, Threads do lashes and brow products among other things too, so of course I said yasssss gimme all da lashes and brow products. I received two beautiful pair of lashes and an eyebrow pencil. 

Threads Beauty | Brow Pencil

I'm not much of a brow pencil lover however this one claims to be semi-perminant, sweat proof & water proof, so I am all for that. It's quite a sharp pencil and I find you have to press quite hard to get any pay off but I've started using this on my less heavy brow days and it gives a really natural look too. However at £15 a pencil, I doubt I would rush to purchase it time after time.

Threads Beauty | Lashes

I received two pairs of lashes, Celestial & Emiloo. The Celestial lashes are the more natural pair out of the two, when I wore these they were super natural and I would even go as far to say they looked like my natural lashes. When I wore the Emiloo lashes, of course they were much thicker and fuller. The Emiloo lashes didn't stick as well, which I'm unsure why. They were lifting and eventually fell off before I got home on a night out (although this was probably down to my bad application!). 

The one thing I found with both of these was the glue. It has absoloutely destroyed my natural lashes, so much so I can't even wear mascara at the moment as it just looks terrible. I'm not sure what it is about it, it just got in to the roots of my lashes and won't come out. I still have glue stuck from two weeks ago when I first wore them! I would love to use these lashes again however I wouldn't recommend using the glue that comes with them.

Have you ever tried Threads beauty before? What did you think?

illummi | Fibre Lash Mascara

illummi - fibre lash mascara | £20*

It's no secret that my eyes are my babies. If I could only have one product for the rest of my life, it would 100% be mascara. I pride myself on my eyelashes. So when illummi offered to send me their fibre lash mascara to try, of course I jumped at the chance. I had previously tried the ever famous Younique fibre lash mascara and was surprisingly impressed with it.

The first thing I really noticed about this product is the packaging. I love the fact that it has 'mascara' and 'fibres' really obviously written on the tubes because that was an issue with the Younique one. It is quite easy to work out which is which, but its a huge help. 

For newbies trying any kind of fibres on the eyes, you have to be very careful. It definitely takes practice, especially if you haven't used it before. Even for experienced fibre lash users, a brush too heavy could make or break your eye makeup! 

first - nothing, second- 1 coat of normal mascara, third- 2 coats & fourth- 3 coats

Of course I would pick a bad eyelash day ALONG with the worse eye to show this mascara. The pictures don't do it justice! If your like me and a love the look of stupidly full and thick eyelashes, fibres are perfect. I know a lot of people don't like this look and thats completely fine.

The product is really easy to use, you don't even need to use the instructions! A layer of mascara, a layer of fibres and another layer of mascara to lock in the fibres. You can clearly see a huge difference from using this product but I wish I could have taken the pictures on a better lash day. It's personal preference as to how much you would use; you could do one layer or you could do 10. It's down to what you like and what you want your lashes to look like.

Is it worth the price? Probably not for me. However, I will just point out that is because I don't generally spend anything over £5 on a mascara, I just refuse. I am the biggest cheapskate going and always get the cheapest ones possible!

Will I use it again? Yes, 100%.  I really enjoyed it and loved how very easy it was to use. Maybe next time I'll use it on a better lash day, ha ha ha.
