Lashes and Casual

Saturday, July 17th, 2010 | 52 Comments

Yesterday, while waiting for our pizza order I ran to the Shiseido store that was next door. They sell cheap Korean lashes there. I picked up these 2 pairs…



The first pair was really interesting looking. I hadn’t tried any with that particular design! I’ll hopefully try them out tomorrow or this coming week!

Figured I’d snap my other lashes too.

These all are the current lashes I own/am using…

These are actually bottoms!
I haven’t worn them yet because they’re so precious to me! Hahahaha, finding bottom lashes in the states is so impossible! I have cut up top lashes and cut up set of bottom lashes I’m currently using instead. When those kick the bucket I’ll crack these open.

I’m gonna buy a TON of bottom lashes when in Japan….



I swear to you this was once organized!!!!!
Now most of my singles & accent lashes are thrown in here… I plan to buy a couple more lash cases on my trip toooooooooo

This morning Mike made of some mini-beignets and some lattes! Then we went to an outlet mall all day. I did really well though. I ONLY purchased birthday gifts! Nothing for me!

I wore my jean H&M dress with my WC top layered on top. I was/am really pms-y. Everything I put on I felt SO UGLY in. So I gave up and went crazy casual = felt better. My eyemake was heavier than usual though! Tried out something a little different. Though I ended up rushing through it in the end… *again, PMS made me impatient!*




Speaking of casualness, I’m gonna put up a bunch of Rinka spam!!! I really love her casual summer looks she’s had going~~~~ Her end of winter looks were getting, sorta, high-fashion… :F I just couldn’t really imagine that for myself so I hadn’t posted any outfit spam from her since then. :( But her summer looks remind me of the west coast or something~~~ Just all American casual summer style!

I wanna buy some more lashes! I’m very low-maintenance/lazy though, so usually I don’t wear anything when I go out…haha

I love Rinka’s style

Oooh I can definitely see the summer casual wear here and is something I can actually pull off without feeling out of place. Love seeing these outfits.

wow Jenny! you own so many lashes ( ^ ^ )
haha i used to oraganize my lashes too. i used to treasure my dolly wink lashes so much that every time after i use them i would line them back neatly in order. but now it’s all muddled up together and i can’t tell which is which .

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:32 pm

Haahaa I’m that way too! A lot of lashes I used to treasure wore out so have been thrown away~~

yeaaah cheap lashes~~ ;D i wore those cheap ebay lashes today (ok, i always wear the cheap ebay ones, but today i wore the ones that we both have the same set of… & thought of you!! i still haven’t mastered the bottom lash, though. i’m always so paranoid that one will fall off & i’ll walk around looking ridiculous with one bottom lash on & the other gone! tell me your seeecret~

hm, that new eyemake is heavy…surprising! but i usually do heavier make when my outfits are more casual/thrown together. idk, in my mind they ‘even out’ lol~

i like those cords by rinka!

jenny said

I honestly feel like bottom lashes are more secure. I’ve never had any fall off and they don’t tend to peel at the ends like top lashes can sometimes do after a long day of wear.

wowww~ that is a lot of lashes! :O
i’m terrified of using them because i might glue my eyes shut

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:34 pm

Haahaaaaaa! You’d have to really try I think to achieve that!

i love rinka’s summer style too! it’s so LA casual! everything is so wearable.

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:34 pm

That’s what first came to my mind too! LA casual!

Wow, your lashes collection is awesome! I have like… none? Hahahaha!
Thanks for the lovely fotos! :-) I love Casual Style myself very much, this is waht I feel most comfortable with :-)

I am in serious envy of your lash collection. I used to get really great bottom lashes from this one website for like $2 each, and I was going to link you, but I just checked and it seems their domain is for sale, so I think they may have closed up shop :(

Thanks for the Rinka spam! :3

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:35 pm

Awww, $2 would be worth it too~~~ I’ve seen stocks of them on ebay but at like 7~10$ so I just don’t buy.

Sooooo many lashes! I’m so scared to wear lashes all the time; it just doesn’t feel right. Prob cause I’m not putting them on the right way? Lol I should practice more. But your collection is awesome :3

Your outfit is very cute too! (It’s ok, I’ve been feeling pms-y as well lol)

The Rinka pics are SUPER cute!

The only time I’ve ever used lashes is when I had my “marriage celebration party” thingy with my family. They kept peeling off at the inner corners -_- I didn’t enjoy them much except the look they gave! LOL

Oh PMS! It’s making me very weepy this month. Different emotion every month! Never know what it’s gonna be! LOL

He made beignets??? from scratch?? WOW - that’s amazing!

Ooh I really want the center volume ones
Should just stop net surfing and buy the canmake ones from Yesstyle

Rinka is so awesome - she seems super fun to hang with.

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:36 pm

Oh yes from scratch! WE’RE SOUTHERN AFTER ALL! LOL well, I am at least… hah!

Ohh, those lashes~~!! Really liking the design of the first pair, though they’re both adorable~ can’t wait to see what they look like on you!
Also loving your outfit + make~ I know how it feels when you try on a million things & just feel so bleh, but you really look lovely bb ❤
& yea for the Rinka spam! I know what you mean about her looks from last winter… I kind of stopped following her blog because I just couldn’t ‘relate’ anymore, haha Loving the maxi dress + bowler hat combo in the 9th pic down!
Hope you’re feeling better today though & have a nice relaxing Sunday *hug* ❤

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:38 pm

I really appreciate that. Even later that day I was catching my reflection and was very “zomg I like so dumpy/fuuuuugs” oh well. Who have I to impress anyway, haahaa!

Yea, when she started wearing full on Gucci outfits I was like “meh, unless you have this EXACT dress I can’t emulate.” I was missing the days when she’d mix in Zara or H&M buys, ya know!?

*sigh* yet another thing I have yet to master/do at all - FAKE LASHES!! T^T;;;;
Those lashes look soooo cute~
(I also have a pair of Darkness lashes, but for the life of me, can’t get them on properly!)
Are the bottom lashes comfortable/do they fall off really easily…? =O

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:39 pm

I find bottom lashes MORE comfortable and they’re more secure in my opinion. I think because top lashes can feel so heavy and have to move so much more as you blink, LOL

You have quite an amazing collection of lashes =o The second pair is really nice looking. Every time I look for lashes in stores all I find are those creepy lady of the night lashes. Or lashes that you would find on Miss Piggy D: no good.

Holy smokes girl! That is a lot of lashes. Lol, I don’t have the patients for those. But my lashes are long enough to where I don’t need them anyways. I really like the designs of the two new ones you got though. Very interesting.

I love Rinka’s style in those pictures Def gonna try out some that look similar!

I just looked at a beignet recipe and my eyes were this WIIIIIIIIIIDEEEEE~~ hahaha that’s so awesome!

I like your heavy eye-make! It makes a casual outfit a little less casual, if you know what I mean @_@ like a casually dressed dolly

A girl I follow on tumblr uses loads of Darkness lashes and they look really good! They give her eyes that sort of ageha look

Rinka’s coordinates are totally do-able, especially for her American fans. Now we can all dress like Rinka! Yayyy

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:41 pm

Seriously, the store that carries them has SO many variations of darkness lashes too. They must be a big drugstore-type line.

Hey Jenny..

Why not just purchase bottom lashes frmo eBay?
It’s sorta affordable as well like the Dolly Wink Lashes.. they’re really really cute! HEHE

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:42 pm

Just because I’d rather find them in store. Ya know, less stress about shipping and so on. Cheaper & instant gratification too. I’m going to buy a lot on my trip so I’m not paying $20+ for Dolly Wink lashes

after the rinka spam… now i have to get wayfarers!! she’s so adorable… if there were buttons, i’d *like* everything and your lashes! so cute! so fluffy

Totally jealous of your collection of lashes. I’ve NEVER seen bottom lashes in the states.

Rinka’s looks totally look Cali style.

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:43 pm

Yea I know! I’ve seen them twice… LITERALLY!

 
 
Sachie said
July 18, 2010 @ 8:13 pm

Wow, love your lashes! I wish I had that many… :3
UGH AND I KNOW, IT’S SUCH A PAIN TRYING TO FIND BOTTOM LASHES HERE. I wish they sold them! I can’t seem to find any so I have to cut up top lashes and trim them shorter. D:

Btw, what type of lenses are you wearing? They’re pretty!

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:44 pm

They’re Dueba MX21 Greens (I think)~ smtg like that, haahaa.

I really like the #2 eyelashes you got, but you are right the #1 are very interesting and unique looking! Your eyelash collection is really big! I am the type that just sticks to one or two types haha. When they are all together like that in the box they look like fuzzy caterpillars ^^

I like your casual outfit, and I know just what you mean about nothing looking good enough during PMS. It’s just like “argh, get off me you ugly clothing” haha!

And I especially like this way you did your makeup, you know I really like dramatic makeup and you have such beautiful large eyes, I like the bottom eyelashes you used!

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:45 pm

Thanks! I usually don’t like heavy bottom eyemake on me but I tried a new technique and was pretty happy with it!

 
 
rene said
July 19, 2010 @ 2:32 am

yikes, those messy lashes looks kinda scary! Haha.
Wow. That eyemake has got to be the heaviest I’ve seen on you ever. Not that it isn’t nice! Dramatic!

Love Rinka’s outfits! Totally agree that her winter coordinates are so high end! We can just ‘whooo and aaahh’ at them.

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:46 pm

LOL I agree, it’s a total mess!

Thank you for the last post!!! I actually just bought my first set of lashes over the weekend ^w^
I usually don’t need them because I already have REALLY REALLY thick and long lashes X_x but I love how they can be clipped and added to accent the ends of the eyes n’such…so I’ll be trying them out soon^^

I was wondering if you could reccommend a good lash glue?
Or many a few that you swear by?

I have somewhat sensitive eyes, (certain mascara brands [like maybelline] or eyemakeup [like Victoria’s Secret shadows] irritate my eyes easily) so I’m hesitant to use just the cheap glue it comes with. I usually have to do a lot of trial an error with makeup to make sure it doesn’t irritate ;_; but if you have some suggestions, I’d be happy to try them out!

Oh and thank you for posting the Rinka♥ pics!! I love her casual style too!!

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 12:48 pm

I recommend either DUO’s or LashGrip’s glue in “clear.” Most people go with DUO. I like both~ they each have their own pros & cons but so far I’ve been really happy with both. They’re roughly the same price too. You can find LashGrip for like $4 and DUO is usually 3 or so more dollars ($7).

Miya said Subscribed to comments via email
July 19, 2010 @ 3:13 pm

Thank you so much! I’m going to try out both then^^

Oh and I have another suggestion for lashes for you~ E.L.F. (eyes lips face) sells lashes for $1-$3….if you wanna try them out…they have a few different styles…and relatively good ratings by customers! I am going to make a small order tonight^^

I buy lots of make from ELF and it’s really reliable! I esp. love their studio face primer!! and now their mineral blemish (night) powder ♥♥♥ it works SO well!
And you can’t beat their prices of $1 shadows palettes, polishes, and more

jenny said
July 19, 2010 @ 9:23 pm

Ah yea I’ve seen them around!! I just haven’t tried them since I have a bit of a collection to dwindle down first. You’re definitely not the first to say they’re decent for the price! Thanks for letting me know!

(Comments wont nest below this level)

Yea I hope I can wear them soon D:

 
 
July 23, 2010 @ 10:35 am

I ever purchase the same thing and they looks gorgeous!
