Ebay Lashes

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010 | 69 Comments

About 2 weeks ago I decided I was gonna give the ole “buy batches of lashes on ebay” thing a try. :getit: I decided on a set of 10 pairs from the seller styleinjewelry at the price of $1.00 with $1.50 shipping. Two weeks later they’ve arrived!

And i love them!

I have to admit I was quite amused by something as simple as a plastic cutout heart in the box, gaaahahahaa



Cut directly in half with the extra end bits cut too~

I figured, at such a low price, I was willing to make the gamble that they would either

1) not be sent or
2) suck balls

….

BUT! :sparkleup:

I was wrong on both accounts!
I chose this style because they looked excellent for cutting into accent + bottom lashes. They were a bit longer than what I had expected from the picture, but that didn’t end up being a problem. By far these cut-lashes are now my favorite accent lash style. :good: VERY dramatic! A bit heavier than the wimpy accent lashes I’ve been using lately, though I’m sure if I trimmed them down I could lighten the load. But the weight didn’t really bother me, just an observation. And as for the leftovers, they do make great dramatic bottom corner lashes I think! :good:

Only the top accent portions that I cut off are on, no bottoms yet! ~




Both top and bottom cut portions on

I really couldn’t be happier~! and at such a plentiful amount & cheap cost there’s no sad-face when it’s time to toss them out. Not sure of their lifespan yet, probably short. Though they’re ready to go for another wear. :good: Though they aren’t as plastic-y as I expected, but I did choose the overlapping style in hopes cheapness wouldn’t be quite as obvious.

I want to experiment with cutting these up in different ways. This time I merely cut them in half, no trimming

There’s a similar auction by the same seller here but I’m not sure how long this link will be any good b/c you never know with ebay (people buying and whatnot!)

Anyway~ how’s everyone’s week going so far?? Hope it’s a good one!! I’ve got a pretty nasty headache so I’m gonna go relax now.

Jenny, you are such a lash queen!! lol ❤ You definitely inspire me with all of these entries!
Those lashes look fantastic on you… They don’t look cheap when on at all! & you aren’t wearing any bottom lashes, wuttt? How do you get them to stand out so much?! ❤
Hope your headache goes away soon though & have a good night! *hug*

Awe yaay! Well your outfits are inspiring so fair trade off

Hum… my bottoms have gotten better since using the lash serum I guess, then I just line it with brown shadow and use double extend mascara.

Usually I think fake lashes look too dramatic (or maybe that’s only when I noticed they’re fake), but yours really do look lovely! (I like your casual coordinate too, and your eyes are so pretty!) Ahaha, I’m not trying to flatter the hell out of you, but it’s so great when something arrives better than expected, right??

jenny said
May 19, 2010 @ 2:49 pm

Haahaa so true! Not that I’m promoting expecting only the worse outcomes, but really, it is pleasant when something out-performs expectations!

May 18, 2010 @ 9:48 pm

Wow, that’s cheap! I think I have to start wearing falsies, it looks great!

I got these lashes from eBay as well! from a different seller, but same box and everything. However, i got them in bulk! I got 60 different pairs + eyelash glue for around 10-15$ i think. Amazing buy!

They look amazing on you!!~

jenny said
May 19, 2010 @ 2:50 pm

I might be willing to buy those bulk orders too now after this having gone so well!

Oh, that’s great that those super cheap lashes worked out so well! They are perfectly dramatic and seem very nice^^

The photo of you with that pouch drink is especially very cute, you look so sweet. I hope you are having a great week so far!

May 18, 2010 @ 11:50 pm

HAHA these are the SAME EXACT lashes i got!! same seller and everything! i got three different types and that was one of them! hahahaha
i also cut mine in half & have found that if you just carefully take them off and make sure to clean them gently (or, really, i just makes sure all the glue is off) they last for a week of wearing them (so, like 7+ times?). because they were so cheap i wear them every day and don’t mind ahaha
need to try wearing the smaller half on the bottom lashes…i’ve saved them just in case i wanted to cut them up and use them individually

omg i feel like i should buy a couple more boxes just in case they run out now that you’ve shared the link on your blog~

jenny said
May 19, 2010 @ 2:55 pm

Are you serious?! THAT’S SO AWESOME! Thanks for the heads up on the lifespan. yea I’m a total glue washer too. I’m cheap so I try to squeeze every last amount of use outta things v

*LOL now you have me paranoid i should buy more quickly too!

You look great! 10 lashes for under $5 is a steal hahaha

Feel better! Headaches are the worst :C

May 19, 2010 @ 2:24 am

It’s always nice to prepare for the worst and then everything turns out better than expected~ The lashes look amazing on you. For some reason, I can really see the “dramatic” effect as opposed to some of the other lashes I’ve seen you wear.

jenny said
May 19, 2010 @ 2:56 pm

Thanks! Yea me too, it was really obvious too me that these really “pop” compared to my recent Beauty World accent lash purchases~~

i wish i had courage to wear them! *fist*

jenny said
May 19, 2010 @ 2:57 pm

Yea I definitely lurked these cheap lashes on ebay for a while before deciding to actually buy!

 
 
Leanne said
May 19, 2010 @ 7:22 am

I’ve been meaning to try fake lashes for a while! I had some before but I couldn’t get them on no matter how hard I tried. did you have any tips to getting them on perfectly? These look great on you btw! They don’t look too fake at all!

jenny said
May 19, 2010 @ 2:59 pm

I know I made some mistakes my first few attempts when I started wearing lashes. I used to not put on ENOUGH glue. Then I use to not really let the glue dry before applying either. That made a big difference for me b/c I didn’t think I was doing anything wrong.

wow! Thanks for the great link! I’m glad they’re trustworthy It’s always nice to find a GOOD Chinese ebay seller out there!! And I love how you test everything out and give your *honest* opinion…it really helps when I’m hesitant about certain products!!!! ♥

BTW…did you get some sun recently?? The last picture you look a lil tan I wouldn’t be surprised with the nice weather we had over the weekend here in DC…I wish it would come back though ;_; it reversed into winter again this week TT_TT

bloomzy said
May 19, 2010 @ 12:31 pm

Such a good deal, and they look amazing.
I am also buying from a similar person, which is good because even if they are cheap they allow you to experiment…and you can just wear them casually instead of your expensive ones

Hey sweetness!

GREAT STEAL there with the bulk lash pack!
I was considering purchasing a pile of them for myself
in Japan as well - a friend of mine demanded that a man-pal
of ours purchase a crapload while he was in Taiwan (same
type I think!) - and so he did - must of looked hilarious
tugging 15 boxes of the tings through customs like a slightly
balding drag queen!

AWESOMENESS BUY!

/HIGHFIVE!

Wow! So many and so cheap. I like. They look really good on you too, especially the top & bottom lashes style.

 
Cindy said
May 20, 2010 @ 2:08 pm

It’s always such a bonus feeling when cheap finds work out so amazing, like finding money in your pocket. I’m so glad you shared, they are cheep enough to throw on for surprise evenings out after work with out guilt of ruining a good pair.

 
Jiawen said
May 21, 2010 @ 1:20 am

Oo O: I’m glad you reviewed these haha. I’ve always been wondering about them!
I shall give them a try some time ^^
They look pretty in the pic where you put both top and bottom on.

 
rene said
May 21, 2010 @ 6:40 am

How pretty & natural Jen!
I have a box of ten like yours too.
But I’ve only used 1 pair so far, and i had the box since more than a year ago!

Really got to be more diligent!

The last pic look so dramatic!

May 21, 2010 @ 2:04 pm

Omigosh! the lashes are really cute and agree with the comment above they look very natural!
Thanks for your comment! the dress fitting went GREAT! even my boyfriend considers it is ummm expensive? :( It’s a Maggie Sottero ($1750.00) I think I’ll separate it the next week hope the dress stills there till that time and no matter what I WANT IT :p
Hope you are having a wonderful week doll TC

You, your natural eye color, the lashes, the outfit (from what we can tell) is SO cute!
You did a great job on the lash layering, BEAUTIFUL!

What material are they made out of? The eBAY picture looks a little unclear..

 
Nonno said
May 22, 2010 @ 8:31 am

They looks really gorgeous on you!
I can’t belive that the whole package is so cheap but it’s great for all the girls who are able to wear them ;D
I’d love to see a close-up od the bottom and top lashes.

 
Lisa said
May 22, 2010 @ 3:42 pm

Those are gorgeous! Do they stay on well? You look so strikingly pretty, ha-ha. I envy people with long eyelashes, even if they aren’t real. (I have the shortest stumps for eyelashes ever.)

 
Joey said
