Ebay Series: Affordable Lashes
False lashes have always been one beauty item that I have struggled with for ages but when you finally get them on, they can totally transform your eyes and they are so beautiful to look at. Good pairs of lashes can be very expensive, even in cheaper shops like Superdrug or Boots, especially since you have to buy them just one pair at a time. Recently, I've become obsessed with trying to find dupes for things and after buying one pair of 'Daisy' Kiss Lashes for £5.99, I decided to look for a cheaper alternative on Ebay and see the differences:
I am really impressed with the eBay lashes, they're so beautiful and at £2.59, it equals to about 51p a pair! There are only 2 major differences/cons with these lashes, one being that the eBay ones feel obviously more synthetic looking but other than that I would definitely go and buy the online pair again rather than the Kiss Lashes. Buying things like false eyelashes on eBay can always be a bit hit or miss but its always so satisfying to find something as good as these lashes for half the price you would normally pay.
The other difference/con is that the eBay lashes do not come with glue, which isn't a huge problem as if you were false lashes regularly or have bought a pack before, you will most likely have glue already but if you don't then you'll have to buy it separately which is annoying but that's easy to get over. Duo Eyelash Glue (buy here) is a very good glue as it dries clear and Lash Fix Black (buy here) is a cheaper option, which dries black and is waterproof.
Other than the price, another great thing about these lashes is that not only do they look good, they feel just as comfortable as the Kiss Lashes. Usually with eBay lashes, they come with a thick black band that needs to be cut or it can irritate the inner corners of your eyes, but these have an almost invisible band which makes it easier to apply without having to cut or trim (unless you need to trim the lashes to fit your eyes) and comfortable to wear for the whole day. You can purchase the lashes above here and here.
All in all, I would say it's worth checking on eBay for false lashes before going to your local Superdrug or Boots, especially if you're on a budget or you like buying lashes in bulk, even though eBay is hit and miss sometimes, there are a few gems out there!
