Accent Lashes are Love


Thursday February 25, 2010   

I scan in random things I want to share but often forget to SHARE them and I go into my junk folder and there they all are! Well I’ll share a bunch of them today!

First up, Ageha & circle lenses! :rainbowtwinkle:
They did a big spread on the girls’ favorite 3 circle lenses. :wakuwakuheart: It’s from the November issue, I think. Yea… I told you I scan stuff & forget!! :lol:







I have links to most major Japanese contact carriers in my links section. Major sites include Max Color, Candy Magic, Angel Color, Vivian, Fall In Eyez.


:lovelymake: I also scanned in a page from Popteen that shows some eyemake tips. I really liked the difference they showed when adding on accent lashes (half lashes) on top of full lashes! :star:


:arrow: Full Page Scan

Oh the difference! :twinklepink: :ohyeslovely:

I actually did this for the first time a few weeks ago when I debuted my Max Brown lenses. It’s really nice effect and doesn’t really require much more work than placing the full lashes. Actually it makes my full lashes feel more secure to be honest! Wasn’t as heavy to wear as I expected either!

I wanted to try the really winged, nude look that Kumicky often sports around~~



:lovelymake:

The full lashes were just typical dramatic full lashes from Hard Candy. The accent lashes I used were Ardell brand Accent lash #305. Yup, drugstore brand! I got mine at CVS actually and have had them for a while. :star2:

Hard Candy :lovelymake:


I recently got 2 new pairs of accent lashes from Yesstyle. Beauty World Rich Accent Eyelash! :twinklepink: パッチリラビット and キュートなパンダ目. This roughly translate to “Cute Panda Eyes” and “Big & Beautiful Rabbit.” The second one I’m not certain on but seems right. Many of their lashes are named for gorgeous animal eyes, LOL. :kissyfaceheart: I don’t know but it’s so funny but cute :P :kyaaface: :faceaha:


ビューティーワールド リッチ アクセント アイラッシュ

Just the “Cute Panda” lashes on only!

I might just be wearing accent lashes for a while. :cutesy: They’re just so much easier to wear all day long especially when wearing circle lenses~ :good: Paired with Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara it gives enough drama for a more nude look.

Though I’d really like to get these Shu Uemura Mini Star accent lashes! SOOOOOOOOO CUUUUUTE! Why must they be $22? That’s so much for accent lashes, hahahaha! I know, Shu Uemura is super nice quality~~ :rainbowtwinkle:

The seem like accent version of the larger star glitz ones! I couldn’t find them on the US Shu Uemura site for sell. This picture is from Tumblr or a model’s blog or something~ sorry I forget!!

    ZOMG UR eyes are HUUUGE

    I wish I had big expressive eyes, instead of squinty Charles Bronson eyes HAHA

  2. Jennifer says:

    Loooooove your lashes!! It’s so long and full! *grabby hands*

    I really like the panda eyes ones. It looks really natural! :D

  3. mishi says:

    Yay lashes =3 & the gems/stars on lashes are just cool ^^

    Hehe layering them is a nice idea =3

  4. Sara Mari says:

    Thanks for sharing all the scans about eyemake and eyelashes. I am still not proficient at doing my eyemake and I have yet to use lashes. I guess I am lucky that some people have asked me if I am wearing false lashes when I do mascara. But I want to use cute lashes!

    You did a wonderful job with your eyemake and lashes!! It looks so professional and high quality ^^ And I love those names hehe, pandas are so cute! XD

    • jenny says:

      Oh that’s nice! Thick full lashes! I feel lucky to have fairly decent lashes too. I think if I had short stubbies I’d feel the need to wear full falsies every day maybe? And that seems troublesome LOL

      Aren’t the names funny!? They have others too like Tiger’s Eye and Glamorous Actress!

  5. Erin says:

    I saw those lashes the last time I was in a Shu Uemura store (there’s one right up the street). They were adorable! Do you have a Shu Uemura store where you live?

    • Erin says:

      P.S. When you wear falsies, is it pretty much a given that you have to wear black (liquid) eyeliner with it? Otherwise the base part is too obvious, right?

      • jenny says:

        Yea. It doesn’t have to be super thick but at least a thin line or there is some gaping look going on. Doesn’t have to be liquid though! :)

    • jenny says:

      I haven’t really looked since Nordstroms dept. stores supposedly sell Shu Uemura stuff.

  6. Miah says:

    ack! CVS lashes arent cheap either! well at least not in Indiana (I dont live there). and I got my lashes from Forever21 (Canada- I live there…) $3 (Canadian)!!! but their the plasticy kind. hey, I dont mind!…

  7. Shirley says:

    I’m still getting used to false lashes xD
    Your eyes looks purdyyy

  8. Zoraida says:

    The cute panda lashes look so good on you!!

  9. sidney says:

    omgahaahaa~~ i was JUST thinking to my self “ok, tomorrow i’m going to go buy those accent lashes i saw last week for SURE” and then i see this post from you. now i KNOW i’m going to do it~ i love the “animal” accent lashes!!

    you look so cuuute, too! they fit you really well~

  10. Miamy says:

    Shu Uemura’s lashes are love! they have all sorts of fancy eyelashes.. even with animal prints! (like leopard or something) really cool and it’s really eye catching if u wear it to parties :D I think those lashes can be found in the stores here in Asia though.. maybe u should try to buy it off the internet..

  11. きよみ says:

    The キュートなパンダ目 lashes are very nice. They go great with your circle lenses! :D I was wondering but which lashes tend to look more natural? (brand or the type) I go to CVS and the selection is overwhelming :( i never tried fake lashes but always wanted to. I’m afraid of buying some that look super fake\plastic-y and they end up looking ridiculous on me haha~ Btw thank you for sharing the scans and lovely pics :P

    • jenny says:

      The shorter, more evenly spaced lashes look more natural. CVS carries Revlon’s fairly new lash line and I’ve heard good things about them. I always go to buy them but talk myself outta it (I have so many lashes already.) They even have a bottom lash line set and run in the 5~7$ range I think.

  12. Lorik says:

    awwwww i love the cute panda lashes! they make a big impact yet look natural in a way…i don’t know how to describe it haha! Does it get annoying to wear both lashes and contact lenses? Is it comfortable??

    • jenny says:

      Daily contacts, no, not really. It takes a few wears to get used to the feeling of full lashes (ya know, smtgs touching your real lashes nonstop) but my contacts don’t bother me. Circle lens contacts on the other hand aren’t as comfortable. Because it’s like there’s already this odd feeling going on with the lashes and now my eyes are getting dry more quickly blah blah. It just feels like… SO glammed up with both full lashes & circle lenses. Instead of comfy day wear makeup. The accent lashes though I can’t even feel that they’re on!

  13. Sesame says:

    I bought the Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara recently to see if it would work as a cheaper alternative to my Fiberwig mascara. So far it’s a bit disappointing, but maybe I’m not using it correctly? Oh well. I’ve been seeing a lot of people use Ardell lashes lately…

  14. cin says:

    awww your eyes are so pretty~ *_*
    i still need to work on my falsies skills XD i normally make a huge mess when i put them on!
    but the animal names is interesting XDD pretty rabbit eyes XD i love how they look though! :D

  15. Nicole says:

    I’m loving the last pair of circle lenses (the brown ones). What are they?! :O

    I should try accent lashes as well~ They truly make a difference!

  16. Jing says:

    The Shu Uemura Mini Star accent lashes are lovely. It’s pricey but if you really like them, you could try to recreate the look? I was thinking (and this may not work), you could attach those tiny jewels you’d put on nails onto your accent lashes instead? I’m sure there are other crazy ideas out there :P

  17. chiihime says:

    Hello Jenny!
    This is totally cute lenses~ i would like to try it. i liked brown one the most♥
    OMG I can’t put on eyelashes, i cant imagine eyelashes + half lashes ahaha this should requires much skills! everytime i do it glue pulls my skin so i cant wear it so much … is your new eyelashes comfortable? what kind of glue do you use? thank you so much♥

    OMG you are so cute in pic!♥♥ I love your hair color~

    omg these decorated eyelashes are just totally cute and beautiful~ i want them *_____* i’ll try to do it in mine~ though it’s time to buy a new u.u

    omg your blog is really totally cute!!!!!! i love dot pattern the most and the best is that its light pink soooooooo cute \(~*-*~)/

    thank you so much for commenting at my blog♥ you let me totally happy!!~#^.^#~

    • jenny says:

      I use duo eyelash adhesive. It’s pretty cheap. Ah yea the glue can pull at the eyelid so much when removing! Haahaa!

      Thank YOU for commenting as well :)

  18. Reiko says:

    Such beautiful eyes you have….

    And Shu Uemura only cost $22 at your place??? Gosh that is CHEAP!!!
    Lashes from Shu Uemura here cost a bomb… like hundred something. Sigh~

    The stars are CUTE tho!!!

  19. Meg says:

    I really love the appeal of false lashes and how glitzy-glam or dramatic they can be… but I totally suck at putting them on. :( What kind of glue do you use? I can never get mine to stick~

    • jenny says:

      Duo eyelash adhesive. Fairly cheap drugstore brand but it holds well. It’s a full tube I bought for 5$. Are you putting enough glue on it and letting it dry for a minute before applying? I used to use too little glue and only wait 10~20 seconds for the glue to get tacky. Now I use more glue and wait longer and they stay on all day even at the corners!

      • Meg says:

        Hmm don’t think I use enough XD I do let it get tacky but I use very little. I need new glue anyways so I’ll buy some and make sure I use more next time! Thank you :)

  20. Nana says:

    I love love accent lashes!
    I was goiinggg to do a post on these but I never got around to it!
    I got some at sephora, sephora brand for 8 dollars or so?
    They give a natural lash look, its like people couldn’t really tell whether or not they are real!
    sometimes full false lashes are really obvious!

    Ha ha!! I think Its funny in the full page scan how they use normal false lashes then accent lashes ON TOP of those >.

  21. Jenny says:

    Ooo, gorgeous scans of circle lenses :) I wear those regularly myself, but I can’t pull off the color ones, so I just stick to black and dark browns.
    I’ve always wanted to try fake lashes, but I’m worried that they might fall off o_o The idea of me in public with fake lashes dangling from my eyes just isn’t pretty. But you look great with them!

  22. Shaira says:

    Hello!
    Thanks for posting the scans of Ageha & circle lenses
    i remember commenting a long time ago asking what sizes of circle lenses do you think japanese models wear and this is perfect!
    So they all wear 14.5mm – 15.5mm? aw, i ordered 14mm and its still on its way, maybe i shouldve gotten a bigger size?

    • jenny says:

      If it’s your first pair 14.0 is still a good size to go with to just get used to them! Many 14 & 14.5 look similar depending on the style and 14.0 still adds a bigger eye effect ;)

  23. Tori says:

    omg they look amazing on you~!! :) Such a gorgeous effect!
    I really like the Panda ones~ so long & lovely ♥ Makes we want a pair!
    I really need to get the hang of wearing fake lashes though~ I have a set of full ones still that I have yet to try so maybe this weekend I’ll give it another go, haha XD
    & the first Shu Uemura lashes were from Alanna’s blog I believe & the second ones from Chinatsu’s! ♥

  24. レイカ says:

    shu uemura lashes look sooooo cute. I normally think deco lashes are a bit tacky, but deco accent lashed are more subtle. lol
    QUAKER RICE CAKES!! ♥♥♥♥

  25. priincess says:

    those Shu Uemura lashes are soooo niceee! i stalked up on sooooo many new ones when i went back to hong kong last summmer. and i’ll definitely do the same this summmerr! : )

  26. Sarita says:

    Those brown contacts make your eyes look heavenly! What a gorgeous shade of hazel they create, I had no idea your true color was soooo green!

  27. Sumie says:

    omg!!the lenses look really scary xD
    but the lashes are supercute^^

  28. Simmaly says:

    Q.Q I want the Panda lashes now, but they’ll more than likely look better on you than me.

  29. Karen says:

    Being a no-makeup sort of person, I know nuts about makeup.
    But, I recently bought a pair of fake lash (from daiso) and im working towards my “look”.
    haha.
    your post makes me wanna go out there and buy the lens and mascara asap.

  30. Linda says:

    ahhh im so jealous of your cuuute lashes! :3

  31. melle says:

    I love shu uemura eyelash curler.. lol and if you want to have dolly eyes then contact lens is for you.. i used to have gray and green but now i dont use them anymore.. I plan to make a tutorial about dolly eyes

  32. Dani says:

    Hey!!! I actually did recently buy a pair of circle lense and have been wearing them ever since!!! I got mine from buyexclusive.net, which were $20.00 and they always have specials, so check the website frequently if you want a good deal….Good luck guys : )

  33. jayjayne says:

    Just bought my first pair of Circle lenses from buyexclusive.net :P Unfo’ no magnification on them, but I can’t live without my glasses in any case! Hopefully this goes well!

    You are such a bad shopping influence!

    • jenny says:

      LOL the end of these comments are like an ad for that circle lens site LOL

    • jenny says:

      Ah yea I was wondering~ I thought maybe you couldn’t wear contacts b/c you’re always in glasses. So you just got plano? Are you not able to prescription ones b/c of an odd prescription?
